In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

It's ok, you're in love with Nic Cage, we know your brain is broken
Shit, I forgot this one. Shit shit.
Too many great films get missed out because of merging of these two categories

Wow look how cultured @Rooney in Paris is for enjoying the dialectical materialism illustrated during Terrance Malick's seminal exploration of man's attempt to find personal meaning during the battle of guadalcanal.
Far too cultured for us peons.

Good to see Ran getting a run. Got to get Kurosawa in somewhere.
I know this is the most random story ever, but about 10-15 years ago, there was this dude walking around the festival grounds of a metal festival I used to attend religiously over here. He had, I shit you not, an enormous cardboard cutout of Nicolas Cage's head, about 5 times as large as a normal head, that he was holding up above his own head with straightened arms.
It was a three day festival and every time I saw him, he was standing there with Nicolas Cage's head held high. It was utterly bizarre and this dude had the most serious look on his face, like he was on a mission or something. To this day I still don't know why, I didn't ask him (what a missed opportunity) and I'm still amazed that his arms just didn't seem to tire.
Just goes to show, Nicolas Cage means something to people.
Too many snobs in this thread.
Up the Alamo.
Up the Alamo.
El Topo just missed the cut for me. It’s awesome. There is no movie I know that could be compared to it.
This is our thread now. Go Russian existentialism or go home.
Was just explaining Come And See at the office, such a great piece of art.

It's my fav film. Loved Kagemusha and all. Ahhh Criterion DVDs back in the day.
The intense colours during the battle scenes are something else. Kurosawa‘s storyboards are worth checking out.

Easy to do as it could fit into so many genres. Personally I see it as more of a war film more than sci fi.
I agree, I edited my list and added it.
That's an odd rule
I recall some cracking sillouettes as well.
I'm an odd guy
I don't think anyone who's seen it wouldn't put it in his list, and quite high towards the top.
This is the part where I tell @Sweet Square I've never seen Starship Troopers
Cheers. Now, I can return to my work day in peace.

I feel so embarrassed by my film taste. I literally majored in film and make short films as a hobby (and hopefully one day a career) and also I watch so many movies every week... Then it gets too my favourites and they're things like Face/Off
All your lists are void for this reason alone.
Mate, joking aside... Watch it. It's brilliant.

What genre are the short films you make?
I just wanted people to know how much I loved him.
Imagine a script scribbled in a drunken stupor one night (bugs kill people, on repeat)… combine with cheap CGI and awful acting … and you’re there or thereabouts.
(I may be in the minority)
Scatological porn, mainly. It's a niche, but he's good.
