They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Definitely Clerks. I've seen it in full three times (plus I've seen most of it twice more, so that makes about three and two halves - or something). I told my dad about it, he watched it one day, and hated it. He's also seen Dogma but I'm not so sure what he thinks about it.
Another one has to be This Is Spinal Tap. For some reason whenever I ask "are you watching?" and he's like "what do you want to watch?" and I hold out my Spinal Tap DVD and he just goes "HA!". Or something.
My mum hates anything I watch that has an 18-rating (not that she sees any of it). She let me rent out Trainspotting because she thought it was about spotting trains.
When she found out the truth, she was a little pissed.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case ofbeer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

I'd have been mortified watching most of my favourites with my parents in the room, anything with swearing or nudity was right out. We did find common ground, sometimes, my dad and I both liked Clint Eastwood (but disagreed on Unforgiven, which my dad found slow and boring, but I loved), and we both enjoyed Crocodile Dundee. (Yes, Paul Hogan, bringing dysfunctional families together! 
). My dad also hated most comedy films, saying that they were just people acting stupid.
My mum was a big fan of musicals, and I sort of inherited that from her. I remember watching Chicago with her the day before she passed away. It's a happy memory that makes me tear up when I think of it. But she'd likely have HATED everything else I like.
