Muddy what are your top 5 Dennis Hopper Movies?

[Bread]

Him dead. Guy used to hang out with James Dean when he was 18. Unreal.

 

[betplom]

mmmmmm cheesesteak.

Hmmm. What exactly constitutes a Dennis Hopper movie? Is it just any movie he was in? Or does he need a more prominent role?

If we just keep it simple and say movies he was in, my list would be:


1) Apocalypse Now
2) True Romance
3) Cool Hand Luke
4) Hoosiers
5) Hang 'em High




Man I really wanted to shoehorn Waterworld in there somehow but just couldn't get it done.

 

[Bread]

LOFL you gotta be kidding me! Hopper was in Super Mario Bros. as King Koopa! lololol.

 

[Bread]

I like when he raped Barbara Hershey with a wine bottle in 'Paris Trout.' Or was that Ed Harris who did the bottle raping? Either way, one of them did it.

His dialogue in 'True Romance' is beyond classic. You can watch that exchange between him and Walken and never tire. Unless you're Sicilian. Or an eggplant.

Guy used to hang out with James Dean when he was 18. Unreal.

Then add to that the fact that Hopper died within 1 day of Gary Coleman.

Really makes you think.

 

[Bread]

Was reading a bit on him Muddy and in talking about his alcohol and drug problems I read the line "had a breakdown in a Latin American jungle."

Muddy I think we coulda done some partying with Dennis back in the day.

 

[Mudcat]

He did well to last so long I think. Between bottle rapes, he was married 5 times too, I see. Although one of them was only for a matter of days to Michelle Phillips in 1970. Crazy kids. The term "drug-fueled" comes to mind.

 

[Bread]

Never heard of that Michelle Phillips thing til I read it today. hahaha.

Who'da thunk of all the twisted stories that emerged from such a docile band like Mamas & the Papas.

 

[Mudcat]

NNNNNNN

 

[senco78]

Hopper died?

today?

 

[Mudcat]

Yes that's right.

RIP and whatnot.

 

[AMBy]

What??!??!? Speed didn't even make your top 5?!?! I'm SHOCKED!

 

[Swarmy]

how about Flashback??

 

[Mudcat]

How about Blue Velvet? It was very hard to leave that off my list. That was one of those eternal dignified performances reminiscent of Gary Cooper at his finest.
