Temat: Movies anyone?

There is a movie section on the other board, but it usually keeps going back to same 5-10 movies.
I just finished watching "Sleuth" based on a play, which I will make a point on seeing.
What a great movie! Amazing!

Hey you! That's my thread! Hands off unless you can provide factual basis for the 5-10 movies allegation ;))

There isn't much point in simply replicating a thread on 'Do you speak English'.

Steve's thread there is about recently viewed movies.

How about 'All time favourite movies'.

Without giving the matter too much thought, I would say:

(1) Quadrophenia
(2) The Producers (earlier version)
(3) Suspiria

haha... sorry Steve, but it was between "I am legend", "American Gangster", "Sweeney Todd", "28 weeks later" and other occasional ya know.. hehehe... i think Warren's idea is pretty good... all time favs..

My all time favorite has always been "Bladerunner" simply because I always thought that the depiction of future in that movie is insanely probable.

Ha! I loved the movie! You should read the book, it's pretty crazy. Neil Gaiman is by far one of my favorite fantasy writers. I can also recommend "Neverwhere" amazing story, it was made into a BBC mini series, unfortunately it didn't do it much justice. "American Gods" is pretty entertaining as well and last but not least "Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch" written along side with Terry Pratchett.
If you are into comics check out his series "Sandman"

Has anyone seen Cry Baby?

(Johnny Depp, Iggy Pop, Traci Lords)

Now that is a truly classic film.

Watched it twice today.warren whitmore edytował(a) ten post dnia 20.03.08 o godzinie 00:45

A drop of stage make-up glycerin and call the character "cry baby."

Don't worry about the video...this'll do.

Oh, man.

Do you mean you don't like 'Cry-Baby' Joj?




An absolute classic.

As close to perfection as any film could get IMHO.warren whitmore edytował(a) ten post dnia 20.03.08 o godzinie 01:03

O.K. Joj, you must have seen 'the Producers' but 2 classic clips from the 1968 version:

Thanks. I like all of these.

There is no chemical constant related to which films touch my brain, man. My favorites change from day to day, like a lot of us. I can say that the Hollywood escapist productions don't appeal to me, in general. The films by Fellini, Hitchcock, and Kurosawa almost always do.

I am listing some international favorites according to Steve J.'s good idea.

In no particular order, I recommend:

1. "Citizen Kane" (USA)
2. "The Shop on Main Street" ("Obchod na Korze") (Czech)
3. "La Strada" (Italian and I think French)
4. "Casablanca" (USA)
5. "White" from the Colors Trilogy (Polish, of course :)
6. "Popiol i Diament" (Polish, of course :)
7. "Nosferatu" (German)
8. "Ikiru" (Japanese)
9. "The Seven Samurai" (Japanese)
10. "The Bicycle Thief" (Italian)

(and this will all change by morning :)))

Most of these have good synopses and plot explanations on Wikpedia.Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 17.04.08 o godzinie 22:29
