Saw The Godfather yesterday again. The best movie I have ever seen.

Elspode · 10-01-2006, 10:48 PM

Just watched the original Wicker Man with the coven tonight. What a great and bizarre film.

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

Another Korean film, by the same director who made Oldboy.

There's a lot of interesting things he does with the soundcape, and also with the cinematography. It's a multilayered film, but was much more straightforward than Oldboy, kind of like a revenge/caper-flick, only a lot quirkier.

Don't read this thread regularly as I don't watch many DVDs (and y'all ahead of us in the States anyway)

But thought I'd comment on this as I bought the boxed set the other week. It's weird - it wasn't how I remembered it at all. I liked it more. For example when I watched it with my b/f at 17 I found Britt Ekland's seduction scheme really cringeworthy. Rewatching it I can understand why my b/f went quiet! It took a film to make me realise my teen self was a prude!

Loved it. The DVD could have done with a better commentary. But then I've been spoiled by The League of Gentlemen who can talk randomly about anything & make me laugh (if anyone has the Tigon DVD for Blood on Satan's Claw they'll understand)

Wolf - I enjoyed Howl's Moving Castle, but it was a children's book I was totally in love with - and no Howl on screen could be all he was in the book. Sulky, selfish, egotistic yet still wonderful? It had different depths though, so I admired it.

And Red Dwarf finally. HM & Ibram I applaud your taste in DVDs. It's mostly been forgotten over here, but my Dad & I were such Red Dwarf fans at the time. His best Christmas presnt in the 90s was the RD bomber jacket I bought him. I was totally in love with Goalpost Head for a while. Something about the nostrils. I won't pay BBC prices, but you've inspired me to look it up on eBay.

Anyway - tonight am going home to watch Memoirs of a Geisha. I've been lent it. Just to see if it was my state of mind that made me hate it at the cinema.

Out of curiosity, I saw the re-make. Ugh. They ruined it. The original is really great, though. [brogue]Jesus Chriiiiiist!!![/brogue]

the "Tox Box" (Troma's Toxic Avenger box set - my wife has strange tastes)

Beestie · 10-04-2006, 08:17 PM

I highly recommend Running Scared. Its violent and deals (tangentially) with some dicey subject matter so be warned.

But, you will not take your eyes off the screen for one minute.

bluecuracao · 10-04-2006, 08:47 PM

Recently watched...

Hard Candy--Unusual take on a suspense/thriller, and not very predictable. Had kind of a Misery feel to it, but different premise.

Thank You For Smoking--Hilarious. It was odd seeing Katie Holmes again in a speaking role, though.

Little Miss Sunshine

I peed my pants...well almost. I want this on DVD. I almost never watch a movie twice.

That's the first movie since Serenity that I saw twice in the theater.
