    I case you didn't notice, these two films do indeed have plots... plots of other much better films!

    I just can't help but picture the meeting that took place in which they said "In exactly how many different ways can we ruin Shop Around the Corner? Okay, for starters, let's cast Meg Ryan..."

      I was thinking that some members may bring that point up! No, I like Meg Ryan, she is good at acting but needs better roles.


      PS: I laugh just thinking of the Mad TV spoof of Ryan( "I'm so cute, like puppies, yay!")
      I'd rather get bank credit, than screen credit.

        I just watched the original GONE IN 60 SECONDS. That has a plot...but just barely, man.

          The original Gone in 60 Seconds is a triumph of fiercely independent cinema.

          And, it had lots of car wrecks!!

          Oops. Spoiled that one for Hairy too.

            Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's actually any good. The flimsy narrative was an excuse to get a lot of car wrecks on film...and even that gets boring after a while.

                  YUME by Akira Kurosawa.

                  Plotless but a brilliant anthology.

                      Bringing this back to life with an addition:

                      Miller's Crossing

                      and Requiem For A Dream, although that's more of a series of events than a real plot.

                      Good call on Magnolia.

                        Perhaps you should watch Magnolia again, it most definitely has a plot.

                        This isn't the Howard Johnson's.

                          No it doesn't. It's a series of unrelated events.

                            Even worse than that is Personal Velocity: Three Portraits..

                              I am a bit confused why you would bring this movie up, as I thought it had a nifty little plot.

                                What is the plot to MAGNOLIA?

                                As for MILLER'S CROSSING, it has a plot swiped from Dash Hammett's RED HARVEST (the novel where the phrase "blood simple" first pops up).
