Must See Movies?

[Admin]

No Phil....I've had my little sulk.
Just trying to inject a bit of sarcastic wit to the proceedings. No offence meant....I really must get out more often!

No offence taken

 

[twomercs]

Cinema Paradiso

The directors cut

 

[whitevanwoman]

The Millenium Trilogy - Girl with Dragon Tattoo etc - the original Swedish films, watch these before watching the new American version, read the books too, there's much more in the books than in the films.

70MM movies

As a former Projectionist in my younger days, my Favorite Movies were the showing of such films as Lawrence of Arabia, West Side Story, Sound Of Music, and more recently, Titanic, and Newsies[ 35mm Scope/B], (soon to been seen on the Broadway stage in 2012). All presented in Super 70MM film with 6 track sound. and a massive 65ft curved screen. none of your tiny digital multiplex screens you get today.:wacko:

Ronin....Great movie and the best car chases ive ever seen.

Heat...Robert De Niro Vs Al Pachino Brilliant!

Meet The Parents & Meet The Fockers...very funny!

Best film - Mississippi Burning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taken
No Country For Old Men

[John H]

Almost anything with John Wayne in it!!!!

With a name like yours, surely it ought to be "Blood and Wine" (Jack Nicholson and Jennifer Lopez)! :dance::beer:

My favorite is INTO THE WILD.

I Watched this last night, I really liked the story and how it was filmed....
but damn that ending, yes yes I know it is a true story but only 2 weeks difference in a quest so long would have made such a big difference.

Remains of the Day

Coming to America

Big

Some Like It Hot

Hot Tub Time Machine

The Hangover

Hobson's Choice

The Muppet Chistmas Carol (watched every year in our house, a real treat. It is on TV tomorrow)

 

[jogguk]

Love most 60's films. especially if they have a good soundtrack:lol-053:

Smashing Time
Taste of Honey
Easy Rider
Killing of Sister George (and Straw Dogs, because Susan George was such a hottie!)

Newer ones:

Children of Men
City of Lost Children (a fine example of how to make a low budget film look like a big budget production)
Dead Man's Shoes
Irina Palm

Suprised no one has mentioned any of these :scared:

Ok, so I have to confess some professional interest here, but I'm a little disappointed that aside from 1 Italian, 1 Swedish (trilogy), 1 New Zealand, 1 German, 1 Japanese - all suggestions thus far have been American, British or French. It's a big world out there folks, I am proposing that some diversion to some beautifully unbeaten tracks might be of use.

I have plenty of American and British suggestions too but, for those wanting to push the boat out a little, these are must sees:

Story of the Weeping Camel (Mongolia/Germany) if you watch this and aren't weeping yourself you're not human (or a camel)
Pyaasa (India) ditto on tear jerking 1950s musical melodrama
Tale of Tales (Russia) 25 minute animation, elegaic, monumental, achingly beautiful; not exactly Wallace and Gromit...
La Dolce Vita (Italy) classic Italian film exploring the morality of papparazi press long before phone hacking scandals.
Pan's Labyrinth (Spain) twisted adult fairytale - visually stunning.
Alamar (Mexico) recent film which explores a father and son relationship - great travelogue too though (makes me want to wild in Mexico)
My Neighbour Totoro (Japan) The best Ghibli animation by far (much more of an enigmatic and beautiful fairytale than Spirited Away IMO)
Oldboy (South Korea) perhaps not one for a 17 yr old, but wow is this a revenge film!
Battle of Algiers (Italy) want to see where all those documentary camera techniques in the Bourne films come from? They begin here.
Underground (Yugoslavia/France/Germany/Bulgaria/Czech Republic/Hungary) wild anarchic romp of a movie, great gypsy soundtrack too.

Not everyone's cup of tea (chai, coffee, can of coke!) I'm sure, but that's the point.
