Punch Drunk Love He Needs Me

[e5g3s]

it says "love" on his bruised knuckles :)

[saucers79]

4:11 And the crowd goes wild!!! Yay Barry!!!

[Elliotspeck]

5:48-6:24 is the best shot of the whole film. P.T. Anderson is a genius.

[kratos246]

Adam Sandler should have won an Oscar for this movie.

[agusta1968]

@Murrdock71

The 3:05 phone call was the funniest part for me

I love how he goes off on his own sister

"give me the f==king number or I'll f==kin kill you"

Hilarious

[miavega12]

I love how the light comes on when Lena answers

[niloc87]

five people here are heartless and despise cinema..

[daddy5552002]

The song is from Popeye go Shelly wooooo 

[abdielhiram]

That is a real good Movie...

[cinelover]

6:49 to 7:09: best 20 seconds ever. right?

[cinelover]

BEST 9 MINUTES EVER. right?

[captainbadd]

What a terrific film...

[lukeloseth]

This movie just blows me out of the water, every time. Especially this bit.

[flamnjon6969]

I love how they used Shelley Duvalls version of the song for this film...fits perfectly...

[Sensadire]

I'm now obsessed with this movie. I was entirely confused when I first saw it. I didn't understand it like i don't understand love and then the more you watch it or experience the more it becomes clear. I can't express how much I love this movie.

[1mellors]

@Sensadire Haha, im obsesed with the movie too. Its becase im falling in love of person very similar to Emily Watson :D

[shocktrooper42]

when he goes ballistic on his sister... it's fucking amazing.

[VGPeffects]

Love this movie,,

[iowafilmdude22]

3:08- 3:25. HAHA. i was so glad that happened when i first watched this. those sisters were fucking assholes.

[UchihaMadaara]

anyone know more movies like this one, i mean unusual and wierd. i loved it!

[LoveYourFun]

@UchihaMadaara

buffalo 66 for sure

[Mistertanuki]

I love how the light comes on when he calls her.... thats why this movie is so good.... well theres a ton of reasons.... and yeh I tell ppl all the time this movie is the best and they just complain about it being slow... I do not see it...

[DouLou]

Adam Sandler playing to his strengths here - Anger and frustration mixed in with childish vulnerability. He picks some shit movies but if there is one director out there that can pick a cast and make them perform its PT Anderson. Beautiful film.

[streeTkiDwannaBe]

I like weird love stories like this and Buffalo '66.

[danethebrain]

"Can you take me to where the hotels and the beaches are? And I'm gunna need a phone."

LOL, that really narrows it down...

[AshCosgrove]

How do people walk out of this movie? P.T. Anderson is probably the best director working today, and probably the only person, besides Stanley Kubrick, who has never made a bad movie. Punch Drunk Love, Magnolia, Hard Eight, There Will Be Blood, and Boogie Nights, all wonderful films that you can watch multiple times and discover something new each time. The average modern day movie goer is too stupid to understand what a good film is and would rather watch cliches and explosions.

[lmyshkin]

@AshCosgrove They probably went into the movie expecting Billy Madison. I actually wish that happened to me. It would have been such an amazing revelation.

[radioheadkids2]

P.T anderson,  what can you say...

[BeLiketheSquerrl]

this movie is for lonely people with anxiety. if you've never experienced either of those things i'd imagine its harder to understand and appreciate. either way though, the film is very well done. personally, i loved it.

[oyguvaltshappy]

what a beautiful sequence

[theachtungtree]

amazing movie...the 2 disc edition is amazing but i wish they could release it on the criterion collection though...P T anderson deserves at least 1 or 2 criterion collection releases. he's awesome

[guitarajs22]

the pudding's gonna take six to eight weeks to process so thats not gonna work

[rowdyroughman]

i love this movie a lot of people give it bad reviews i dont know why this was adam sandler doing something diffrent not like his normal pg-13 just comedy but a comedy drama R rated movie and him saying the f word hilarious

[KonMan06]

I gotta get a blue suit.

[ranka35]

i thought mike myers was in this movie? oops!

[ANGRYANJEL]

I love this movie. It was very underrated. Quite romantic from a certain point of view. When I first saw it, I was kind of stunned at the way Sandler approached it. It didn't take me long to get into it and appreciate what he did with the character.

[ANGRYANJEL]

@radioheadkids2 Isn't it lovely to see that your pathetically ignorant comment has been removed? Perhaps, you should think before you post something. I am, of course, giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are actually capable of thinking. If I were as stupid as you seem to be, I would go out behind the nearest gas station and put a gun in my mouth. Unfortunately, I hardly think you would know how to pull the trigger. Have a nice day, and kiss my ass. Putz! (Look it up moron.)

[Lula8787]

give me that fucking number! do u fucking hear me?! LOL..Adam Sandler Is a Genius!

[willis911rn]

i love when he losses it while talking w/ his sister as the parade is passinbg by... that is spot on hilarious.

[Panico2]

one of my favourite scenes in cinema

[truckdrivah]

Beautiful.

[stuckinafishbowl]

popeye

[juleswinns]

great film. it's hilarious but my first reaction was WTF!

was that Phillip Seymor hoffman on the phone!????

[corplaxt]

Yeap, it was Phil alright! :P

[tristianity4u]

Love this movie and this song! "He needs me" is originally from the Altman movie "Popeye" and PT Anderson is a big Altman fan so I guess that's why he picked this track. It really works with the Hawaiian scenery!

[aninnerglow]

5:47 his OOOH! is hilarious

[egomers714]

i'm looking for this soundtrack

but i can't seem to find it :/

[emas05]

I have it and purchased it through FYE

[Munchausen45]

@egomers714

Itunes is an alternative opttion old chap.

[indianprincess831]

@egomers714 it;s on pirate bay

[ableedingcorpse]

I love his hateful outburst at the phone.

[hootyeah1]

I love how when he hears her voice the phone booth light turns on :)

[Wargoat6]

@hootyeah1 And the crowd cheers.

[catzoob]

- Where are you from originally?

rofl

[chodaboy51500]

0:36 :) Chair breaking. So random but nice touch. One of the thousands of reasons I loved this movie.

[WickedLiquid]

2:36 - 3:36

....wow... Adam is amazing.

[sebzamfi]

I love this movie.. PT Anderson is brilliant!!!

[1707054]

a very complex love story, much like reality! subtle things in every scene, to suggest love, sadness, awkwardness and fear. a masterpiece of work. sandlers shining performance, that was all to easy dismissed by the critics, who wanted more of the same.- closed-minded dicks.

[essentialeee]

that's that

[evfich]

5:45

[ultrasynthetic]

THIS is THE most romantic piece of cinema ever created. You have to watch it at least 100 times before you realize it. But then it is worth it.

[ShotgunHeroX]

i have to agree, really something beautiful about it thats for sure. the contrasts are perfect, her red dress and his blue suit.

not to mention really funny aswell.

[finch6789]

@ultrasynthetic - i agree - very underrated flick. When I saw it in the theatres, half the people walked out before mid-point.  Me, I purchased the DVD the minute it was available...some people just don't get the subtle nuances and underlying meanings of some films. They'd rather go see "Transformers.

[theachtungtree]

@finch6789 totally agree...most of the people i know are like "emm....what's next?...is he going to propose her?...is he gonna live with her?...oh..i know..he's ill so he's acting like that....nah...i don't like this movie,too slow", people NEED to get their asses off the ussual cliche stuff to apreciate the subtle mood on some movies, btw daniel day lewis loved this film too

[Tier2Tech]

@ultrasynthetic

This guy is right. There are ancient powerful themes in here that are being retold by a modern Genius.

[axdexter23]

romance

[axdexter23]

amazing

[anepales]

I love how he goes to shake her hand. Hilarious. What a brilliant scene.

[Bebbar]

"I've never been on a plane before"

":)"

(plane makes a rattle outside)

"What was that?"

"... I don't know :)"

[greenretard]

3:07 - 3:25 IS FUCKING HILARIOUS

[sakurasaku]

this scene and the scene were his sisters are in the kitchen . . ."Remember when we used to call you gay boy?!" are my favorite <3

[haggler50]

i think this movie is brilliant

[ItsOnlyDavid]

I couldnt agree more

[evfich]

thats because it is.

[schpelgherheizen]

I like how the phone booth light goes on when Leena answers the phone.

[treehuggervsvamps]

I'm not sure what I think about this film, but I think this scene is absolutely brilliant. I keep thinking about it days after I've seen the film.

[evfich]

it won an award at cannes. i remember that for sure.

[SoylentGreenISHUNGRY]

Best director I believe.

[evfich]

i meant this sequence with the plane and the thing and the hawaii honk honk. but maybe that too

[SoylentGreenISHUNGRY]

@radioheadkids2

Hmm?

[SoylentGreenISHUNGRY]

@radioheadkids2

Right on.

[radioheadkids2]

@SoylentGreenISHUNGRY top...

[SoylentGreenISHUNGRY]

@radioheadkids2

wurd.

[Puklinn]

The word LOVE is on hes hand at the beggining

[axdexter23]

when he punches the wall its written in blood on his knuckles.

[coasterkid345]

love how he says Fuck. FFFKING KILL YOU SO GIVE ME THE FFFFKKING NUMBER!

[digitaldeadboy2000]

omg the blues and the red! awesome what a great directorial decision!

[chrispdogg]

This is the greatest movie ever!

[klepto86]

I love this movie.

[GASMORG]

I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU ... GIMME THE FUCKING NUMBER YOU GOT THAT....

how romantic !"!""""!!!! :D

[bonesmorebones]

good catch

[bonesmorebones]

probly intentional

cant see them slipping up there

but who knows ya know

[quigleybrown]

Do you notice that he's wearing a red tie before he gets on the plane and it becomes a yellow one when he's in his seat? Do you think that was intentional?

[alajet]

its an odd thing, maybe they shot the plane scene first and then decided to alter the wardrobe for the rest of the movie and just never reshot it and decided it to be so minor a slip, cant see any significance in the tie color really since it never changes in the rest of the movie even though color plays a big part of the film

[The4thGuy]

Was Luis really supposed to fall down at 0:37?

[cheapo2004]

Lol probably not me thinks, although it might hint as to Barry's money problems. Then again, I could hear slight laughter in his voice at 48-49

[SoMuchLoveWins]

"Don't tell my sisters ANYTHING"... now HERE'S a man outta diapers

[SoMuchLoveWins]

"i'll take a bath on that" - hilarious

[Scroobily]

One of the best movies ever made. Amazingly well put together! Amid the entire world, these two people met and were "meant" to be together -- the MAGIC of two people finding each other amid the crowd of the world!

[bmovies4life]

this movie was so sweet ... it is undeniably the best romantic comedy ever for me ... i rank it with annie hall .. =0)

[WeMustBeStopped]

Criminally underrated movie.

[coffeebeaner]

All these motherfuckers who say this movie sucked dare to say that Little Miss Sunshine was, gasp, better!

It pisses me off. My favorite line is, "Well, that's kind of your fault."

None of my friends get it. :(

[StarvingForTruth]

Sunsihine, while cute at times, isn't half as smart or good a movie as this one.  It's really not even close. Sunshine is the indie film cliche fest, and this movie, truly original.

you need better friends?

[EspStinkBeatles]

They're both great, original films in their own ways, imho.

PS - I like your Lifehouse-reference-of-a-name, SFT!

[StarvingForTruth]

Lifehouse.... I honestly have no idea what that is.

My name is just me describing me.

peace.

[0122358]

lifehouse is a band

[StarvingForTruth]

ah - thanks.

no, no reference in my name.

[georgecostanza1000]

The emotions this movie and song make me feel are just overwhelming

[beatler11]

I love the part where he tells his sister to give him her number.

[rockyracune]

He should have blasted his sisters. They were evil.

[tonksloopy]

I've only seen this film once and I really like the story! :)

one question though, what is the significance of the color blue here? Sandler's character where the blue suit throughout the film, and also the sudden flashes of blue light like the one in 8:35 and 8:36 ?

[tonksloopy]

sorry, *wears the blue suit...

[drkstr3443]

I read an interpretation awhile back and the guy says that Barry wears the blue suit because, well... he is blue (emotionally). As for the blue lights through out the film (I think there are red lights as well?), they also have to do with the emotional state of the characters. I could be wrong about this...

[milobarron]

re: the sudden flashes of light...

i've noticed it in many p.t. anderson films such as magnolia, boogie nights, there will be blood also has it! maybe it's one of his little trademarks.

[jakespick]

@milobarron I'm not sure what you mean by "sudden flashes of light," but PTA does use what is known as "glare" alot. Where the b.g. light washes out the frame, creating silhouettes and whatnot. thats one of his little trademarks kind of.

[milobarron]

the blue glare across the screen, somewhat of a line.. anywho, it's very nice!

[AloneInNewPollution]

good fucking movie. great fucking song!

[rockyracune]

I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. It was a great story, albeit a misunderstood film. Yes, this is one of the best parts of the movie. Check out how the phone lights up when he finally hears her voice. But I also enjoyed the part when he stops running and at last confronts those tormenting blackmailing bastards when he sees that his girlfriend has been hurt by them. Then he kicks the shit out of them. If you haven't seen this movie, give it a chance. But it is not your standard Sandler film.

[smeggers0329]

I think a lot of people don't understand PTA, I mean a lot my friends HATED there will be blood. I think he really understands how to use the film medium much like Kubrick did. Comparing the two directors is not far off because they both understand how to use sound and visuals in order to instill emotions in the viewer.

[augusts1]

I totally agree w/you.

[beatler11]

I cant wait to see his next film. Punch Drunk and There Will Be Blood are 2 of my favorite movies.

[RAPSCALIONpro]

what about magnolia and boogie nights and sydney?

[AllahisaJew]

I need to get this movie on DVD, or blu ray, or whatever comes next.

[goodlookenpair]

Best part of the movie!!!

[irishgoomba]

Classic !!!

[lukeloseth]

"ow!" "you okay?" "the chair broke."

[PunchDLove]

Fantastic fucking movie AND song.

[VRILHYA]

All I want is her fucking number...!!! XD

[fantozzi9]

Great tribute to his mentor -- Robert Altman. And sung by Shelley Duvall in Altman's Popeye.

[WeMustBeStopped]

Wow! Never thought about that!!

[spiderscales76]

i love the part where tells his sister off. Growth!

*ACTING!*

[gemini350]

I saw this on TV a few days ago, and all the swear words were bleeped out, and I have to say...

I think that the sound of the *bleeps*, in sync with the mucis, and with the mood built up, just make it that much funnier.

[whatsup87]

the chair breaking...was that in the script? lol

[goodfella844]

I love the part where it goes to slow-motion as Barry is boarding. PT Anderson is the greatest director in the entire world.

[BatemanDaPsycho]

Agree. That man is the second coming of Kubrick.

[PlumsandPrunes]

This is what filmmaking is all about.
