More Free Movies for CheapSkates

If you're like me and you have Comcast OnDemand but none of the good channels, you probably waste a good twenty minutes of your life skimming the free movie list every once in a while. Since I am going to look all the time anyway, I might as well make it easy on the rest of you broke-ass movie lovers. 

Right now what's worth checking out in the free movie list:

Chopper - Bio of Mark "Chopper" Read, a criminal celebrity who only could have thrived so well on an island colonized by another country's prisoners. Fucking great movie with Eric Bana playing Chopper. Cinematography shows some effort on their part, before movies like Domino and Smokin' Aces totally played that shit out.

Gonna Get You Sucka - Before the Wayans became total whores. This is a classic example of how movies that mock other movies can actually be good. We're way too accustomed to the Scary Movie franchise which is pretty much garbage now, and they just keep shitting them out because there's always a new pool of 13 year old movie-goers and stoners.

Born Into Brothels - I haven't actually seen it but I know it won a lot of awards. It's a documentary about the children of prostitutes in Calcutta. If you give a fuck about shit you will appreciate it. 

Candyman - Fucking classic horror. Nothing else to say. Just watch it.

Capote - Haven't seen it, but I'm sure some people will be interested.

Donnie Brasco - Johnny Depp as an undercover cop. It's a classic for most fans of mob movies. 

Foxy Brown - Haha. Blaxploitation should never have happened but if their going to throw it on demand we may as well watch it. 

Gummo - If you've seen it once, you know you gotta watch it again. The director/writer of Kids dropped this on the film world and the jury is still out on it. Lots of poor white trash drowning cats if you're into that sort of shit. But honestly this movie is gold for all those who like their weird cinema. 

Jury Duty - It's bad don't watch it. I felt like I had to acknowledge that it was there, but we all know that it's garbage. There will always be some people though, who want to get stoned and watch a Pauly Shore jump off. So that's for you.

Short Circuit - Steve fucking Guttenberg and a robot with human emotions! If you remember this gem from your childhood it might be worth revisiting if you're bored enough. 

The Fifth Element - We all still remember it, but it doesn't get any less weird each time you see it.

New World Order - A first in conspiracy theory documentaries. This is for both sides of the argument; if you want to make fun of them you'll especially enjoy this. They actually kind of mock the people or at least let them show their own eccentricities.   

Pumpkin Head - Classic monster flick.

Saw 3 - You know what it is. Not my thing, but it's there for those who like that shit.

Repulsion - Old school movie from Roman Polanski. A documentary just recently piqued my interest in Polanski, more for his personal life, but I've made it a point to try and see his movies. Haven't seen this one.

Throw Momma From The Train - I don't care who agrees this is a good fucking movie. It's a weird old school comedy with Danny Devito and Billy Crystal.
