Your favorite Kevin Smith movie?

[Jay]

I've got to go with Chasing Amy. Comedy and a deep plot, it don't get no better than this.

mallrats

Well, I never seen Chasing Amy or Clerks, so I cant judge those. But from the ones I seen, I will chose:

Jay & Bob Strike Back
Dogma
MallRats

I just watched Dogma, last weekend, and it was a pretty cool movie. Interesting take on the religion, some weird/funny characters, and angel on the rampage. Plus a Shit Demon

I love JaSBSB, but the classic will always be Clerks.

Clerks.

I'd choose the cartoon over any of Smith's stuff. -NOW BEAR IS DRIVING CAR, HOW CAN THAT BE?!?!?!

[EThugg]

Dogma. Just the right amount of jokes and intelligent stuff to override stupid shit like the 'shit demon'...

JASBSB had lots of hilarious parts, but had as many disgusting/unfunny parts, and a lot of boring parts. Bleh... Clerks was just gay,I hated that movie so much...

I haven't seen any of his other movies.

I'd say dogma if it wasn't for that stupid bitch playing the lead role. She's so crap.

For me its a tie between Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Clerks.

we've done this thread a few times, but here goes, in order:

1. Clerks

2. Chasing Amy/Mallrats (tie)

3. Dogma

4. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back


In fact, I didn't intially like JASBSB when I saw it in theatre's. I mean, it was good, but I just felt that it wasn't on par with some of the other movies. But, then I saw the DVD and saw all the deleted scenes with Will Ferrel in them, and they made the movie much more enjoyable.

1) Clerks - Pretty hard ot beat with memorable characters and real wit in the dialogue. Randall is my role model.

2) TIE Mallrats/Dogma - Both were pretty good, Mallrats had better characters, but Dogma had better humor.

3) Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - Not bad, a pretty entertaining ride throughout.

4) Chasing Amy - Just kind of lame overall. It really felt forced, as if Kevin was trying to hard to do something different to escape criticism after Mallrats. I did see the DVD though, and I was surprised at some of the great scenes they deleted.

I love all things Kevin Smith, but there are two movies that stand above the rest for me: Chasing Amy and Clerks. I found these to be his most intellegent and pointed, both offering good insights on life. The other films are funny as hell and I adore them, but that little extra bit of relation I can make w/ both Clerks and Chasing Amy give'em the edge.
