Favorite Kevin Smith Movie

[Guest Angle-plex]

I've always like Chasing Amy the best.

[Guest Zack Malibu]

I've gotta go with Mallrats, it's always been my favorite of them all.

[Guest Harry Hood]

Clerks is the best in my mind

[Guest razazteca]

Matt was the bomb in Dogma Yo

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Mallrats, I can pretty much quote the movie from beginning to end.

 

Anyone that picks J&SBSB deserve to be shot at close range with a sawed off shotgun...I know people should be allowed to have their opinions and all, but that movie fuckin sucked.

[Guest kkktookmybabyaway]

Mallrats was the second-to-last KS movie I saw, and was my fav.

 

JASBSB wasn't THAT bad, was it?...

[Guest C.H.U.D.]

I'll go with Dogma.

 

As for Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, I hated it the first time I saw it, but after multiple viewings at work I have grown to really like it. Some parts of it are hilarious.

[Guest Banky]

J&SBSB is for the hardcore fans to watch one time only. The first time I saw it I was at the end of my seat waiting to see what gimmick Kevin Smith was going to bust out next. It was a thank you to all of the loyal fans who followed the series closely. That said, it is the least watched VA movie in my collection BUT it was the greatest movie-going experience of my life when i saw it.

 

The only thing that will beat? Well thats easy, when Fletch Won comes out with my and your God, Jason Lee.

[Guest Karnage]

Clerks is the best.

 

Mallrats was a really good movie, but the guy who plays TS was horrible.

 

Chasing Amy, I need to view again.

 

Dogma had an excellent story but fell flat on the silver screen for some reason.

 

Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back is good for all the tongue in cheek stuff, but the diamond thieves thing wasn't necessary.

[Guest jimmy no nose]

Mallrats was my favorite.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

i haven't seen dogma, and i like all of em, i think clerks is probably my favourite too, just for its whole atmosphere. The one thing i hate about chasing amy is that chick's voice. Pisses me off. Very fundamental flaw, and i think apart from that it's the best 'movie' out of all of em, just not my fave.

[Guest What?]

Dogma.

 

 

Jason Lee + Azrael = Coolest Character Ever.

[Guest LooseCannon]

Clerks is the best as Smith's flaws as a director were hidden by the film's budget constraints. Though the acting isn't that good. It's a likable and fun little movie. Chasing Amy is the worst. Without Jason Lee there would not have been a single enjoyable moment in this piece of shit filled with bad 10 minute sappy monologues.

[Guest kingkamala]

i couldn't decide, so i just picked the one i saw first when i clsoed my eyes and went up and down the page and it came to J&SB:SB

[Guest godthedog]

'chasing amy', by far. funny as shit, and true to its suitably flawed & deep characters.

[Guest Banky]

If any one of Smith's movies flicker to all hell, it would be Dogma. In fact, I am surprised to see all the Dogma praise on this board. Aside from some cool character, this movie is basically the shits. Fiorontino, Rickman, and Hayek had absolutly no place to be in this show. Honestly, it was Smith's way of trying to throw this movie into the mainstream. If more time was done developing Azrael's evilness, Carlin's religious hypocracy, and the basic trying to rejuvinated catholicism - this flick woulda ruled it all. But it doesn't. Anyone but Fiorentino shoulda been the last zion.

[Guest danielisthor]

Chris Rock, Jason Lee, Salma Hayek, Linda Fiorentino, Matt Damon, George Carlin and the turd Ben Affleck made this a great Kevin Smith Flick. The only bad thing about the movie was Alanis as God.

That's the only way that turd of a movie would have gotten a vote, such an unfunny piece of work, can't believe I paid to see it on the big screen

[Guest Banky]

Are you on glue? When has Linda Fiorentino made any movie good? C'mon dude, admit it - she was a terrible lead actress. Plus, Selma Hayek was rather unspectacular on this piece. Her character had no place in it.

 

And yes, J&SBSB is quite funny, I thought you'd be hard pressed to find any VA to say that movie is unfunny. Maybe you didn't get some of the jokes, or missed some of the satire - but there was some stuff that was damn funny. It clearly isn't the best movie, but still a fullfilling flick in itself.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Please don't use the "you just didn't get it" defense...I got it. It's just not funny. It's not hard to get "dick, ass, cock, fuck" jokes.

 

They did a lot of poking at his other movies durring the thing. But none of that came off too funny.

 

The whole Chris Rock thing was unfunny, if it was a little more suttle it could have worked. Ferrel was painfully unfunny for as much as he was in it.

 

The thing where they make a joke then look at the camera, that's funny exactly once in a movie...not 3 or 4 or 5 times. I think that might have bigged me more then anyone else. Like the knocks on Matt and Ben, snickered at them, didn't really laugh though.

 

Unlike all of his others I did not have at least one big laugh, I just kinda snickered every now and then.

 

Maybe he thought the cameos alone would have made people laugh.

[Guest Angle-plex]

What Kevin Smith Movie are you?

 

I'm Mallrats~!

[Guest redbaron51]

i'm pretty surprised that a lot of people like Dogma.

 

Mallrats for me

[Guest Mr. Slim Citrus]

Mallrats was okay enough, but a little too slap-sticky for me, and not as good as the other three. I thought Chasing Amy was best, followed closely by Clerks, with Dogma as a slightly distant third.

 

I dont' deign to recognize J&SBSB. That movie licked balls.

linda fiorentino WAS horribly out of place in 'dogma', but to say she's never made any movie good...did you see 'the last seduction'? she MADE that fucking movie.

[Guest Banky]

I've actually never checked out that flick, I'll go out of my way to now.

[Guest notJames]

Chasing Amy. Hands down.

[Guest cynicalprofit]

The only funny part about J&BSB was the "read the sign" bit, because it was building up from clerks.

 

I really have no favorite as I enjoy them all, it depends on my mood and then I'll watch that flcik.

[Guest BorneAgain]

If more time was done developing Azrael's evilness, Carlin's religious hypocracy, and the basic trying to rejuvinated catholicism - this flick woulda ruled it all.  But it doesn't.

That's a good point. I wish Smith could have dropped some of the scenes with Hayek and Rickman and instead included the deleted stuff with Azreal and Cardinal Glick. In fact my favorite scene in the film is the deleted cut in which Azrael explains the nature of hell. Jason Lee's acting in that scene is incredible.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I agree with that one...with the exception of the "Fat Albert" scene the one with Lee having a huge speach about hell is my favorite. Definatly should have stayed in the film.

[Guest Banky]

Lee, since Chasing Amy, has been given smaller roles because he isn't a big enough name. Smith, along with Miramax, want to sell the flicks with household actors. Thats why Affleck always gets the juicy VA roles ahead of Lee - who I'm sure would love to have a leading role with Kevin.
