As many Slashfood readers must know by now, I truly love a good beer. I also enjoy good films, which is probably while I'll be skipping Beerfest.
In honor of that film, which seems to be in the same traditionof such classics as American Pie, The Miami Poetry Review, just posted a list of the "10 Greatest Beer Movies Of All Time." Without further ado:
- The Fatal Glass of Beer (1933)
- Three Little Beers (1935)
- The Lost Weekend (1945)
- Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
- National Lampoon's Animal House (1978)
- Blue Velvet (1986)
- Smokey And The Bandit (1977)
- Beer (1985)
- American Beer (2004)
- Sideways (2004)
I was quite surprised by some of the ones I have seen that made the list. Sideways comes to mind. The logic for including it on the list: If you substitute beer for wine it becomes a beer flick. Fair enough.
Another surprise is Blue Velvet. Guess I forgot how many insightful lines about beer were uttered by Dennis Hopper. Among my favorites: "That beer's gonna get warm. One thing I can't fuckin' stand is warm beer! It makes me fuckin' puke!" A man after my own heart.
