Rich spoke about how he identified with Slacker and other Linklater films, well, seeing as how I worked in a gas station/convenience store in college, I pretty much couldn't help but love Clerks. I generally like his sense of humor and the freedom of sexual expression present in his films.

*1. Clerks - A- (very rough around the edges, but with the best jokes and payoff)

2. Red State - A-
*3. Chasing Amy - B+
4. Jersey Girl - B+ (Tugged my Daddy strings)
*5. Mallrats - B+ (What can I say? I find it funny)
6. Zack and Miri Make a Porno - B
*7. Dogma - B- (He tried to create a challenging film and there are some solid ideas here, but it is so over the map that while I really like certain sections, others are a chore)
8. Clerks II - C+
9. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - C+ (Quitting while you're ahead is obviously not a concept Smith is familiar with)

Own: 4 (I don't know if I would own this many if I was buying them today. Certainly not Dogma.)

Chasing Amy is by far my favorite, but I like Clerks a lot, too. Mallrats is OK, but I pretty much hate Dogma.

"Check this shit. You got cracker farm boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy, blond hair, blue eyes. And then you got Darth Vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, Nubian god!", "What's a Nubian?", "Shut the fuck up!"

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
Dogma (1999)
Chasing Amy (1997)
Clerks (1994)

I'm not a Kevin Smith devotee, but his scripts have me laughing out loud at times.

Love Smith's work for a long time now. Dogma and Chasing Amy are two of my favorite films and Clerks is really damn funny as well. One of my favorite working filmmakers. kinda glad I never bought Mallrats, cause now there's a killer SE coming out.
