Ultimate DVDs for Parties?
Adore333 asks: "I'm hosting a party on new year's eve and was thinking of playing some DVDs in the background (party music over the original soundtrack). I've chosen Trinity and Beyond and Microcosmos as the movies. Even though its likely a bit too late for New Year's Eve, I'd like to hear what media other Slashdot readers would suggest. The films should have great emphasis on visual expression and it would be nice if they were enjoyable as movies as well (like Trinity and Microcosmos). So, what's your ultimate party DVD?"
I'm sure you've all heard of this,but if you obtain a copy of the wizard of oz, and a copy of dark side of the moon, and start the album with the lion's roar on the mgm logo, the movie and album sync up perfectly. slighty, ot, but i have done this at parties to rave reviews. does anybody know of any other interesting combinations?
Cogito Eggo Sum, I think therefore I'm a waffle
AniMusic. Not much of a plot, but it will impress the hell out of your party goers.
symetrix. We are building a religion, a limited edition.
Have you seen equillibrium? That movie has some great action shots while sticking to a very relevant plot about the prices people are willing to pay to make society work, and the consequences of those decisions.
This movie has something called gunkata, which is sort of a martial arts around guns. You'll like it, trust me. This is the first movie since the first Matrix (not sure which came out first) to spark my interest to that level. Terminator 3 was nice, but having watched Matrix and Equillibrium it was not as powerful.

oh! I've seen this! it was in a sort of collection, so we really had no idea what it was or how long it would last. if you arent expecting it, the thing you notice most is how incredibly fFunny it is. it goes on and on and on .... seemingly without end or purpose, smashing things, breaking things, burning things -- damned impressive, i can tell you.
it's a tiny tiny bit repetitious in a couple places, due to the choice of plastic bags and tiny a number of times. and, at the risk of destroying the illusion, it isnt a continuous 28 minute shoot: it breaks every now and then to change reels and all (5 times perhaps?). but it's really well done, and *could* last 28 minutes.
definitely a winner. now, good luck acquiring a copy..... i've never seen or heard of it since my one viewing.
