Clerks
Mallrats
Clerks II
Chasing Amy
Dogma
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Jersey Girl
Zack and Miri make a Porno
Red State

Nevr seen Tusk or Cop Out, nor do I ever want to.

Smith also didn't write Cop Out, just directed it.

Wow you have Red State really low I thought it was ****ing brilliant

I hated Red State. I'm a huge KS fan, btw. For me:

Clerks
Mallrats
Dogma
Chasing Amy
Clerks 2
Jay and Silent Bob/Zack and Mirri

Didn't care for anything else, including Tusk.

Red State was "enjoyable" but I think it was obvious Smith got himself confused half way through & didn't know whether he was doing black satirical comedy or keep the film serious.

It's been too long since I've seen them. I really like Jersey Girl and Dogma, though. Those are probably my favorites of his that I've seen. I've also seen Clerks, Clerks II, Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Chasing Amy. So, maybe...

1. Dogma
2. Jersey Girl
3. Clerks
4. Jay and Silent Bob
5. Chasing Amy
6. Clerks II
7. Mallrats

all his movies are shit except maybe Mallrats

Interesting order. Jersey Girl isn't half bad as people make it out to be, but I think Clerks is a superior film.

I've always loved Jersey Girl. It's an extremely charming film.

I loved George Carlin's rare grandfatherly role.

It's also the big reason that I don't understand why Ben Affleck gets so much hate.

I remember articles saying Affleck had the "classic" looks of great actors of old films but the arrogance of a spoiled upstart. This was around the time he was with J-Lo.

I guess he matured as an actor, gained respect as a director & learned some humility over the years...

Kevin Smith said Affleck did his best performances when he was left alone to create the persona of the character he was playing rather than be told how to act.

He was really good in Chasing Amy, too.

I imagine that would be true of most of the great actors out there.

True.
It couldn't been a defensive comment by Smith when asked about Affleck.
Considering they're childhood friends & Smith got to direct him too.
