Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry was one of the most important moviegoing experiences of my young life. I am certainly not defending this as a film, merely saying we can’t choose how we will be impacted by things as kids who can’t tell outselves “Well this is junk and I can’t really be feeling something for this.”
But the ending blew my mind.
I saw this on DVD a few years back and didn’t even get to the ending, I was so bored. But it still really got to me back then.
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry is one of those flicks that when it comes on, no matter where it is in the movie, I stop and watch it to the end. Like Race With the Devil. Why does Peter Fonda always wind up dying at the end of so many of his movies? 92 in the Shade, and Easy Rider, too!
I feel the same way about “Gargoyles”.
Scared me silly when I was young.
I watched it a couple months ago and was bored stupid halfway through.
I found myself rooting for the monsters, this time.
I never get tired of Donnie Darko, though.
Seriously trick flick.
:)
DM/CL sort of seemed to be Easy Rider without the bikes.
Same nihilistic/anti-establishment tone...but with a weird chick with swollen lips....LOL
[but lord I loved that car]
Has anybody mentioned The Warriors, yet?
