Chasing Amy (1997) - Blu-ray Forum

OrlandoEastwood · 02-27-2010, 12:23 AM

Anyone else a fan of this film? I think it's one of Kevin Smith's best films, hands down. I think we've all came to a point in our lives where our best bud is totally against your girlfriend or wife. I've had it happen to me with my first fiancee, but not to an extreme like that. Does anyone else have their own "Chasing Amy" story like Silent Bob? I know I do.

Hands down, Jason Lee's best performance. It kinda saddens me to see the roles he's taking these days since My Name Is Earl got canned. Seeing him do Alvin & the Chipmunks was a shocker because he shows range in this film. As Banky, at one point he's telling at Holden (Affleck) about

. And then after

This film is in my top 10. One of the greatest films of the 90's in my opinion. I also need to get this one on Blu-ray.

Not only one of the best Kevin Smith films. It is actually the most well made of the Kevin Smith movies. I still lean towards Clerks as my favorite because it just an awesome movie, however Chasing Amy is great and yes Jason Lee is unbelievable in this.

This movie is above and beyond the best film Kevin Smith has directed. The dialogue in this movie just did it for me. I always wondered why Jason Lee has not gotten the opportunity to be in more films. Affleck was actually good in this movie as well. I was dissapointed when Criterion chose not to the Blu-ray for this movie. Once this title gets into the $15 range it will definitely be in my collection...

"Stay Thirsty, My Friends"

Yeah I have this on Blu ray myself. Very good movie. There are several scenes in there that stand out to me, most of all the scene in the rain by Holden's car.

Why is that? It's not a commercially sold item and it was NEVER sold.

EDIT: I just realized I wrote that it was sold in limited editions, I messed up. As far as I know it was given away in a contest or something, but could be wrong.

My favorite Smith movie and just an awesome movie

OrlandoEastwood · 02-27-2010, 03:15 AM

I remember I was 8 years old when I first saw the film. I was sick one weekend and my dad ordered it on Pay-Per-View. My first introduction to Jay & Silent Bob.

God this is the movie that made me realize Kevin Smith is overrated. It comes off pretty juvenile, story is blah, acting is eh, humor is at some parts, best part was intro monologue.

That would be Mallrats. It was more or less a childish movie.

Or all of his movies.

Clerks is like the only respectable one.

Chasing Amy is my favorite Kevin Smith film

jjbsn5192 · 02-27-2010, 08:36 PM

i have never seen this film? but you guys all seem so positive.. about it

it must be really good? i love clerks that is a classic, and clerks 2 wasnt that bad either.

OrlandoEastwood · 02-27-2010, 10:50 PM

It's more or less a romantic-comedy. It's kinda like Clerks with Holden being like Dante and Banky being like Randal.
