What is the best?

DIZZY DRUMMER · 07 Dec 2003, 14:18

Fairly new here, & to be honest have not seen many of Meat's films.
Has anyone got any opinions as to what Meat's greatest role was & why?

I am curious as I would like to purchase some of the films, but they need to have a good storyline too.

Thanks

I'd suggest (both for quality and quantity of role):

Blacktop
Everything That Rises
Fight Club
Trapped
Roadie

That should get your started!

I love meats role of the lizzard in the 51st state. Saw wishcraft for the first time last night and this is a good film 2

Debs :)

Yes 51st state ("Formula 51" here) was an awesome video. Meat was awesome, he played this completely different character. He was the villian who was hated by everyone. I have seen 3 meat moviesl

Formula 51
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Spice World

out of the 3 spiceworld was the worst movie ever, but only liked because Meat himself was in it. (altho at the time i was more of a fan of spice girls, than meat, but i grown up now and i realize meat's better, by far!

rocky horror was good. i was told you have to be wierd, to like it. i guess i'm wierd then. :P full of some catchy tunes and some actors who are still in the acting buisness today. my 3 fav characters are eddie - cause he's the rockin' rebel i am, hehe. and then there is riff-raff, ya he's funny. a memorable character. and janet, cause she's really cute :P .

formula 51 is an excellent film, i won't ruin the film but i would give it
* * * * *. 5 stars, i really liked it, and its the movie that got me into elvis's tune "don't be cruel."

My favorites-

Rocky Horror Picture Show
(it's bizarre, but truly a classic)
Fight Club
(very interesting twist to the movie)
Crazy in Alabama
(despite Melanie Griffith, can't stand her!)
Focus
(excellent, based on an Arthur Miller play)

All good flicks. As is Roadie, his character is great in that one.

I have seen these Meat´s films:

Blacktop (I think that this is the best)
Fight Club
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Black Dog

They don´t show his films here in Finland except those what I mentioned.
You can´t count Wayne´s World because Meat is only few second on the screen. I have seen that film too.

In reply to RSG's note about Janet: "Jee, wasn't Susan a knock-out in those days. The part where she tears off some of her underwear (for Rocky's wound) gives me shivers...."

My personal favorites : Crazy In Alabama, Focus and Rustin.
Meat was fantastic in all of them, and they had great storylines :)

But then again I think all of Meat's movies are great
