yeah, del that

My favourite film of the moment is City Of God,

<font color="dab9ea">I have too many to list. My current changes every so often, but my all time favorites ******* Willow and Enemy Mine.</font>

The Neverending Story

my favourite film of the moment: {proof}

Did you see the play first? It is one of my favorite plays ever, so I'm unsure about the movie...

I favorite film is Home Alone 2. I almost died when they left him home alone again!!!!!

what other plays are one of your favorite plays ever

Although netphoria isn't big enough for two movie related threads, Legend of the Drunken Master, Kung Fu Hustle, those are up there.

what other plays are one of your favorite plays ever

Yeah, I work in publishing.

Yeah, I work in publishing.heh

but really, what other plays would you consider favorites?

i'm gonna make an attempt at strindberg's "a dream play" in like 20 minutes and i don't know if i'm prepared

Nothing terribly "out there." The Importance of Being Earnest will always make me laugh, The Crucible was the hardest work I ever did and I still love it after that, anything by Tennessee Williams is always good, The Children's Hour, Anton in Show Business, and Uncommon Women and Others. And Hamlet.

This makes me realize how long it has been since I've read a play.

man on fire

zorba the greek

you familiar with ionesco at all?

A little. I read The Chairs.

the rhinocerous was the only school play i ever went to. i knew it was going to blow beforehand, so i didnt feel robbed or anything

i'd imagine a high school production of rhinoceros would be pretty bad

dude rules though

the adventures of priscilla queen of the desert

i shit you not

i really like american beauty.

and... i enjoyed the notebook, i cried so much.

I love star wars.... and i love the Matrix trilogies.

ferris buellers day off. those are all my favs i can think of off the top of my head.

the notebook, i cried so much.

can't believe a cassavettes is responsible for this

what? you didn't like it?

my favorite movie of all time would be empire of the sun. i love the book and bale did such a great job capturing what i love about the main character. and visually the movie is stunning. i think it was spielberg's best movie and sadly the most underrated and passed over.

i also really love romero's dead series. well the first three anyways.

I just watched Fantasia (the original one). it's been years since I've last seen it and it was very inspiring.

i like the part with the sound wave running vertically down the screen to demo the sounds and waveform patterns of different instruments. the sequence comes between two of the main pieces, so it also serves as a break from the bulk of the movie. if you don't recall this sound wave part i recommend going back and watching it.

they basically stole that entire thing from the films of oskar fischinger

WHOA

fischinger did that :o :o :o i had no idea

anyway you should check him out if you dig that sequence, the man was amazing

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k201/snoopy1979/blade.jpg

my teacher said today that is one of his favorite sci-fi movies ever. i wonder what all the fuss is about..

a few of my favorites:
pulp fiction
saving private ryan
adaptation
the life aquatic with steve zissou
(and yes donnie darko is also a very good film!! :beatup: )

My favorite movie which is not in the Star Wars universe is The Last of the Mohicans.

Second is Big Fish. Third is Pulp Fiction. Murder in the First is up there too, though I haven't seen it in several years. I also highly enjoy Swingers.

my favourite film of the moment: {proof}
A fine film.

i guess it's the big lebowski

I'd have to say Goodfellas.

The straight story

Ikiru by Akira Kurosawa
Mulholland Drive and Eraserhead by David Lynch

It used to be Lost Highway but I couldn't really say that anymore. It's probably mostly cause of the experience I had watching it on acid.

I don't think I really have one favourite movie, I'd have to default and say anything you see bob partially unclothed in, so long good friday, live virgin, who framed roger rabbit, mrs henderson presents, mona lisa.. something like that.

Legend of the Drunken Master

I always preferred The Young Master. City Hunter is also enjoyable nonsense that goes largely unmentioned. Man I haven't watched a proper jackie movie for years, I remember when all I watched was old jackie chan and jet li movies.

Depending on the day and the moment I am asked, it is This is Spinal Tap, Monty Python and the Holy Grail or the Shawshank Redemption. And maybe sometimes Silence of the Lambs. Usually one of the first three though. I can never decide.

sometimes Silence of the Lambs

good choice.. this and the facial hair thing?

you are the female me

Stalker - by Tarkovsky

today it's the new world

gattaca. i like how it makes me feel. i like the look of the whole picture, and i dig the story of the guy triumphing because of effort and desire.

One movie I really like, but always forget to list in one of these threads, is Last Samurai. I might be willing to put it in the top 10. Did anyone like this besides me? The first time I saw it was in Taiwan and there were no english subs!

Hey whatcolor, every now and then out of nowhere I think of the movie Gattaca for some reason. Really good one.

movies i can watch over and over and over....(in no special order):

waiting for guffman
ferris bueller's day off
clerks
daltry calhoun
braveheart
dazed and confused
malcolm x
the tao of steve
the fugitive
empire strikes back
hoop dreams

God, I don't know if I could pick a fa-vo-rite movie ever. I know the first time I ever saw Legend of Drunken Master I was obsessed with it for weeks after.

No, I was very surprised by this movie and enjoyed it a lot, too. I wouldn't put it in my top 10, but I definitely thought it was a better than most movie.

I still haven't seen this, though I really, really have been dying to since before it even came out. How would you rate it? How well does it hold up to historical fact? I bet it's good :(

Badlands and Days of Heaven are 10x better.

Mulholland Drive by David Lynch

second this. then throw in Winter Light by Bergman, Dogville and Manderlay by Lars Von Trier and pretty much anything by Jim Jarmusch

Mary Poppins, Willy Wonka, and Labyrinth are my trifecta

ps i may or may not be a homosexual

i've seen a lot of good movies

i'm going to go for a walk and think about this

i like The Thin Red Line and The New World better than the earlier films

Mary Poppins, Willy Wonka, and Labyrinth are my trifecta

ps i may or may not be a homosexual :hurl:


I like those movies and all, but ... all time?

my favorite movie is probably always going to be Annie Hall
its everything i want in a movie
i enjoy every scene, and every shot

i hate all three of ravenguys favorite films

good call, what other woody's do you enjoy

I like those movies and all, but ... all time?

well we're talking "favorites" here so whatever that means. if I were pulling from my more serious list I'd probably say Raging Bull or The Piano or Annie Hall, depending. Maybe even Blazing Saddles.

good call, what other woody's do you enjoy

um

almost all of them

anyway you should check him out if you dig that sequence, the man was amazing
thanks. i was hoping someone would have more to say about that.

my teacher said today that is one of his favorite sci-fi movies ever. i wonder what all the fuss is about..
the thing i love about blade runner is it's setting. very atmospheric and believable. the sights of the city scape coupled with the music and noise of the city is beautifully done. i actually find it pretty soothing to watch.

I still haven't seen this, though I really, really have been dying to since before it even came out. How would you rate it? How well does it hold up to historical fact? I bet it's good :(

historically speaking it's way the fuck off of what the reality of the situation was. in the film, pocahontas is roughly seventeen and smith is a man in his thirties [i would assume, if anything he is in his prime within physical terms] wheras in actuality she was twelve when they landed and smith was in his seventies. stretched truth doesn't seem to play any sort of role, however- the relationships formed within the film are completely believable. the powhatan indians are portrayed as accurately as malick could possibly pull off- tons of research and gathering of many native americans was the result of the process. the settlements built for the production- as well as the crops- were done as they had been done back in 1607. [thanks to the MAKING OF short supplied on the dvd, i've absorbed all of this fun fact shit!]
the film itself is like a dream to experience. lovely, lovely in every shot. i am a fan of how terrance malick works: using only natural lighting, sort of just chasing what he sees. it translates on film as some sort of fucking voodoo magic or something- natural and flowing from scene to scene. i love the film, kimmy, but i can't give you a rating.i suck at placing things in numbers and relative importance when everything is shifting in constant transition according to perspective. if it helps: i saw it and couldn't get it out of my head for weeks. it's one of those. please see it if you have the opportunity- no doubt that you will enjoy it.

i'm gonna make an attempt at strindberg's "a dream play" in like 20 minutes and i don't know if i'm prepared

This artistically produced Swedish philosophical drama, filmed in black-and-white, is adapted from Strindberg's 1902 play. Using a combination of Biblical reference, classic mythology, and poetry it depicts God's daughter as she reflects upon the state of humanity. Agnes descends from Heaven to survey earthbound mortals about the cause of their pain and sadness. Initially, Agnes is carefree, but she cannot remain unaffected by the surrounding tragedy and becomes more serious. She ends up marrying an impoverished and dour lawyer. They dwell in a claustrophobic cellar with their new baby. The feature film at the local cinema stars Victoria. A frequent movie-goer tells Agnes of his love for the beautiful actress Victoria. He soon gets to meet her. Agnes then meets a dark poet who warns her that if she continues to wade in the morass of human existence the effects upon her may be permanent.

:erm:

in fact after thinking about it the only allen films i dont like out of what i've seen are Jade Scorpion, Hollywood Ending, and Anything Else :erm:

taxi driver is a great movie, but not my favourite though. same with straw dogs.

i really need to see a david lynch movie that isn't lost highway.

Probably this

Eraserhead is also one of my favourite films.

I thought it was a lot better with english subtitles, I had to guess the first time through but I pretty much got everything right. I can't believe they've been selling this DVD so cheap, its always at bargain prices.

gattaca. i like how it makes me feel. i like the look of the whole picture, and i dig the story of the guy triumphing because of effort and desire.

hey man.

I have never seen Gattaca. How u like me now?

Try 'The Elephant Man' 'Blue Velvet' 'Twin Peaks'

second this. then throw in Winter Light by Bergman, Dogville and Manderlay by Lars Von Trier and pretty much anything by Jim Jarmusch

Just saw Jarmusch's Down by Law. What a class film. Tom Waits
is a cool bastard.

Probably this

"Of course I like to talk to talk with you Dimitri........Dimitri." One of the best undoubtedly.

Well if Gangs of New York was shorter and was centered around Bill the Butcher and didn't have Cameron Diaz in it, that would awesome. Other than that I think probably L.A. Confidential but I've seen it so much that I can't even watch it anymore. It could now be Goodfellas, I dunno.

Has to be mentioned.

You just remembered because of my location.

Al Pacino is pretty great in that movie. His post-modern sales pitch is so awesome.

yeah, glfngaccy glep mss is awesome

:/

True your location did remind me. "It. is. hot. out. there to-nite."

Blake: You got leads. Mitch & Murray paid good money. Get their names to sell them. You can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit, *you are* shit, hit the bricks pal, and beat it, 'cause you are going *out*.
Shelley Levene: The leads are weak.
Blake: "The leads are weak." The fucking leads are weak? You're weak. I've been in this business fifteen years...
Dave Moss: What's your name?
Blake: Fuck you. That's my name.
[Moss laughs]
Blake: You know why, mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove an eighty thousand dollar BMW. *That's* my name.

yeah, glfngaccy glep mss is awesome

Ha, yes the picture is on the small side. I probably shouldn't post
pictures while severely hobbled by work firewall.

"You fucking child."

They. Like. Talking. To Salesmen.

When that came out there were these rumors that hoverboards really existed and I always wished I has one. I have no idea where I heard the rumor since there was no interweb back then.

Basquiat (1996)

probably Metropolis

Basquiat (1996)

i like Bowie in that movie
