A Listmania! list by BS on parade
 
Bitches Brew
1.  Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
The list author says:

Who's Got Trouble?
2.  Who's Got Trouble? by Shivaree
The list author says:
  "Downbeat jazz-pop. Does something fun with the old jazz cliches. Tracks kind of merge into one another as they all sound similar but when the lyrics are good the songs do stand out."

Birds of Fire
3.  Birds of Fire by John McLaughlin
The list author says:
  "Heavy rock in the form of an instrumental jazz album. The virtuoso playing is quite in your face so it entertains a bit more than most jazz. Has several moments of greatness."

iPod, Therefore I am: A Personal Journey Through Music
6.  iPod, Therefore I am: A Personal Journey Through Music by Dylan Jones
The list author says:

Bad Taste [1989] [DVD]
7.  Bad Taste [1989] [DVD] DVD ~ Terry Potter
The list author says:
  "Comedy horror about human eating alien zombies. Large scale amateur film with home made OTT gloopy visceral gore effects. Silly sense of humour. Director went on to make Lord of the Rings."

Me and You and Everyone We Know [DVD]
8.  Me and You and Everyone We Know [DVD] DVD ~ Miranda July
The list author says:
  "Surprisingly effective quirky Indie film. Doesn't drag & had a strangely powerful ending were something actually seemed to have happened (which is unusual for a film like this)."

The Draughtsman's Contract [1982] [DVD]
9.  The Draughtsman's Contract [1982] [DVD] DVD ~ Anthony Higgins
The list author says:
  "Weird wordy movie with stiff boring camera work. Story simple but obscure due to the way it's told. Film entertains from time to time. Not good but interesting."

Serving Sara [DVD]
10.  Serving Sara [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "Enjoyable MOR comedy. It's well enough made and the cast is likeable. Hurley is an okay actress and Perry's comedy quirks/techniques are funny. Not saying it's good, just that I enjoyed it."

11.  Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back [DVD] [2001] DVD ~ Jason Mewes
The list author says:
  "Clerks is more acclaimed but this is more fun. Foul language, ludicrous B movie storyline & many silly scenes. It's as funny as any film I've seen."

Arrested Development - Season 1 [DVD]
13.  Arrested Development - Season 1 [DVD] DVD ~ Arrested Development
The list author says:
  "Very clever & funny 20min sitcom, which isn't obvious from the look of it. Rich family used to the easy life have their money seized by the law & have to rely on the only sane, rational family member."

The Opposite of Sex [DVD]
15.  The Opposite of Sex [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "Lavish looking indie film with an ice cold heart. Cynically manipulative girl destroys everyone in pursuit of what she wants. Loses its way towards the end but well worth seeing."

Memoirs of An Invisible Man [DVD] [1992]
16.  Memoirs of An Invisible Man [DVD] [1992] DVD ~ Chevy Chase

Le Dîner De Cons [DVD] [1998]
17.  Le Dîner De Cons [DVD] [1998] DVD ~ Thierry Lhermitte
The list author says:
  "If not funny then entertainingly amusing mainstream comedy. Snobs invite idiots to a dinner party so they can laugh at them. I'm no fan of French "comedy" but this is good."

The Closet [DVD]
18.  The Closet [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "Not a great movie but the idea of pretending to be gay to keep your job is a good idea. Just aren't that many jokes in it so could be better. If Hollywood remade it I'm sure it would be very funny."

Singles [DVD] [1992]
19.  Singles [DVD] [1992] DVD ~ Bridget Fonda
The list author says:
  "Charts several painfully tangled romances during the grunge era in Seattle. Like an amusing but less funny High Fidelity. Quite touching in its own way."

Not Another Teen Movie [DVD] [2006]
20.  Not Another Teen Movie [DVD] [2006] DVD ~ Randy Quaid
The list author says:
  "Silly teen movie spoof. Maybe I'm alone in the universe in thinking it's funny? I've not seen a lot of the films it skewers, so maybe where I see a joke others just see a quote."

Knife In The Water [1962] [DVD]
21.  Knife In The Water [1962] [DVD] DVD ~ Leon Niemczyk
The list author says:
  "Strange eerie movie about 2 men & a woman on a boat. Nothing seems to be happening but it rivets your attention as macho power games play out for her attention."

22.  That 70s Show - Complete Series 1 [DVD] DVD ~ Ashton Kutcher
The list author says:
  "Silly well made sitcom. Started good and got better as it went on. Worth it just to see the scummy badguy in Robocop playing the strict dad from Hell. "Dumb-a*s" being his phrase of choice."

23.  Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk by Legs McNeil

  "Stacks of new interviews with pretty much everyone who survived CBGB (epicentre of American punk) as they look back. Interesting book even if you hate punk like I did when I read it."

Black Vinyl White Powder
25.  Black Vinyl White Powder by Simon Napier-Bell
The list author says:
  "Funny book about the relationship between drugs & the music that goes with it. Lacks a bit of detail in places but makes up for it by being a pacy easy read."
