Best "Kevin Smith Jersey Trilogy" movie?

Post by Gandalf »

This is often a point of debate among my friends and I. I just wanted to see what the rest of humanity thinks.

I personally think Mallrats is the best one, because it has good dialogue and is probably the funniest. Plus it has Stan Lee.

Its a toss up between Dogma and Mallrats, but I'll vote Dogma becuase it won the coin toss(I literally tossed a coin for it).

Clerks. First is always the best. And Randall's the fucking shit.

Chasing Amy. Just for the "Darth Vader is the blackest brother in the galaxy" spiel by the gay African-American pretending to be a neo-black panther for his fans.

I've gotta say Clerks as well, and also because of Randall. J&SBSB is a close second.

That's a good quote. Man, it's been awhile since I've watched "Amy" or "Clerks." I pick "Clerks," by the way. Original is usually the best, besides I can't stand "Dogma" or "J&SBSB."

In order, for me:

Mallrats
Dogma
Clerks
Chasing Amy
J&SBSB


With a rather big gap between Clerks and Amy. Just didn't like the RomCom, and J&SB was just a string of injokes.

Clerks. Randall reminds me too much of a friend of mine, so I crack up a bit more seeing Randall in action.

Mallrats and Dogma(the board room scene) were okay, but had points that were just bleh.

Chasing Amy was funny until the main character became dumber then a brick...Lando scene was worth it.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was a great culmination but requires pre cursory knowledge.

I've only seen Mallrats and Clerks, and I liked Mallrats a whole lot better.

Incidentally, if you combine Randal and Brodie, you basically kind of end up with Utsanomiko.

I have Jay & Silent Bob. It's one of my favourite movies. I haven't seen Clerks or Chasing Amy. Dogma and Mallrats are fucking hillarious, but I still have to stand by J&SB

I love them all, if you crossed Mallrats with Spaced, you'd have me as a series/film hybrid thing.

So... Mallrats, J&SBSB, Chasing Amy (seemed unusually honest, for a film), Dogma, not seen Clerks yet.

Haven't seen Clerks or Chasing Amy, so out of the three i have seen i'll have to go with jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. It doesn't have much of a plot but it does have one brillinat set piece after another and Eliza Dushku (sp, that chick that played Faith in Buffy) in a cat suit!
And Good Will Hunting 2 is one of my most looked forward to sequels :D

Chasing Amy is definitely the best of them. The simple fact that it's a damn honest movie and is still funny as hell. I've never watched a love story so well done and entertaining. It's the best of the movies.

And of course Banky has some of the best one-liners ever:

Banky Edwards: All every woman really wants, be it mother, senator, nun, is some serious deep-dickin'.
