Has anyone else seen this movie? I watched the other day and I was pretty impressed. It's my favorite movie now.

Sean: [Police cars pull up to arrest Sean] I'm saved!
Heroin Bob: Sure Sean, you're saved.

We used to watch that movie in college because one of my friends came from a long line of Mormons and his parents aren't Mormon so they're the black sheep of the family. Anyways, he's from SLC and has always been into punk so he always identified with it well.

I've never seen it. I can't imagine that it does anything but make punk look like a joke, but I'm probably wrong since A) Everyone tends to love it and B) I don't have much of an imagination.

Watch it. James Marendino really had his facts down.

I've seen it many times. It always amused me in high school that it was like the quintessential punk movie when the moral of it is really "all punks are posers." It amuses me to no end.

I love it. I believe I saw it with Mandee the first time, in fact. But I really do enjoy the film.

It's an excellent take on punk culture, but it doesnt glorify or villify it. It just is. I wont say anymore, but the ending moves me to tears everytime.

The soundtrack is incredible, and overall the film is very very funny.

Yeah, we rented it when we were at my dad's house when we were in like 10th grade or something.

It's a really good movie. It's been on my Christmas list for awhile but no one's bought it for me. :(

Yes. I love Adam & The Ants and Minor Threat. They've got to be my all time favorite punk bands.

Am I the only one that didn't like it, then? I thought it was pretty stupid, actually. Whoops.

I have it. I loved how it seemed to catch the esscence of how it feels to trip in that movie.

I love it muchly. I've made a few friends watch it, and it's kind of funny how many don't get the meaning of the ending. The scene with Stevo's parents and his mohawk flopping around is my favorite because that gigantic 'hawk (if I'm thinking of it right) flopping around is just great.

I love that movie. It was pretty awesome. I was sad when Bob died though. :( I'd talk more about this, but I was half way asleep when I saw it.

You're the only one I know of that doesn't like it. Not counting those people who'll just say they don't like anything that people like for some strange reason.
