No Tennessee Williams? No Elvis? No Cool Hand Luke. No one - absolutely no one - in a mullet? Cheese us fucking christ.

I think you forget the definition of mullet.

Yeh, breezed by that one. Bit long on top but still a mullet. I stand corrected.

But I think any respectible list needs to include David Lynch's Wild at Heart and maybe Blue Velvet, too. I mean, Lumberton is what White Trash is all about.

Then there's Paris, Texas. German White Trash. Yummmy.

Edited to add: Smooth Talk is another great white trash film with Laura Dern. Basically her whole 1980s uv-rah. Then there's Jodie...

White trash hero, not white trash movie.

I also loved a lot of the rock and R&B videos from the 80s, as they were my first chances to see a family member's work on a regular basis.

All of Janet's videos were fine, though I prefer "Love Will Never Do Without You" .

Apropos of nothing, "Control" and "Rhythm Nation 1814" showed that you didn't have to be a pretentious prog rock stoner Tolkein freak from the UK to make a concept album.

According to PLF, it does not.

Each of those is a white trash movie, in the tradition of Tennessee Williams. It's all about the kindness of strangers.

We aren't shallow. We understand that incest, clannishness, distorted psychotic behavior and drinking beer from a bucket on the old sofa on the porch all say something profound about the human condition.

No. 1 is brilliant.

But No. 2 is my fave. I love that movie. It may be heresy, but I like it better than Lebowski.

I also do not get the hype, although, as I have mentioned here before, her song gets stuck in my head. It's catchy. Like "cos-tan-za!"

I know of her only because the GoFugYourself girls routinely feature her in their column.

Perhaps not everyone will find this as funny as I did, but it combines two of my favorite artists!! Jane Austen and Mitchell/Webb!!

I like it much better than Lebowski, which always seemed extremely forced.

I went to a screening of the new Soderbergh movie last night. I enjoyed it, but my escort did not.

It is more of a cult piece, than mass appeal. Matt Damon is amazing.

Having read the book and being somewht familiar with the case, I am a bity confused about how/why they made it into a comedy.

The tone of the marketing seems off, as it's not a comedy. It is light in places and farcical at times, but it's not a comedy in the modern sense.

As a viewer, I prefer to walk in with no expectations and, in this case, I was rewarded for my lack of knowledge.

Mr. Darcy dancing freestyle disco to harpsichord music was pretty funny in a P&P geek kind of way!
