I didn't enjoy Inland Empire, found the whole experience to be more like an endurance test. And I thought you had already seen it.

It depends on what movie you're watching. Like I said, I recommend you watch at least one of Water, Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, 3 walls and Bombay. Bombay has a few songs but they're by the brilliant A R Rehman and you can just skip them if you don't like them.
He is. And he is getting better it seems.
The guy did act bad, but it didnt matter too much for me as I was stunned by the movie. I watched it well into the night, just after Clockwork Orange.
I didnt get Dumpling at all. I had Hungarian subtitles so I could follow Cut.
Will try those.
Dumpling was about vanity and the length people go to preserving or improving their looks. spoilerish: (The dumplings contained aborted fetus')
I understood that, what I meant was it didnt work for me.
Spoony, you should be getting a few PMs by tomorrow. Check the new forum thread in the Admin forum.
I see.
It was a bit too Roald Dahl-ish for me, up untill the last scene.
Fair enough. Chris Doyle was the cinematographer. He gets around doesn't he. Thought Box looked the nicest, though. Imprint and Box both had striking visuals. His older stuff wasn't as impressive, visually. That said, Ichi looked amazing.
Yeah he improves definetely. I liked the scenic photography in Bird People too.
Zatoichi vol 11: Zatoichi and The Doomed Man. Good movie in that it differs slightly from the other Zatoichis. In this one, there is no one person who has a vendetta against Zatoichi and wants to kill him personally. Very good ending fight scene where Ichi takes on about 30 people.
Yeah, I did...not: I fell asleep 50 minutes in as it was really late, so I will have to watch it again. It is interesting, but I wouldnt say more, it would be unfair. I had issues with one of the actors though.
But the scenery is beautiful.
My top 5:
Clockwork Orange
Godfather 2
Rear Window
Elephant Man
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Although I could just as easily have named 5 Kubrick movies for my top 5.
Dr. Strangelove
Full Metal jacket
Clockwork Orange
The Killing
Paths of Glory
Top 5 is impossible.
But probably something like this:
Godfather 1/2
Ran
Solyaris
In the Mood for Love
Das Boot
But probably something like this:
Godfather 1/2

and I really can't wait to see Woman in the Dunes.
Too bad Petersen became such a Hollywood whore. Konchalovsky could get out, although he is not as good as he was before.(He is filming here in Budapest though)
Lets' try something different. Lynch, Leone and Spielberg. Make your top 5 by them combined.
Elephant Man (Lynch)
Schindler's List (Spielberg)
Once Upon a Time in the West (Leone)
Raiders of the lost Ark(Spielberg)
For a few Dollars More (Leone)
Elephant Man (Lynch)
Schindler's List (Spielberg)
Once Upon a Time in the West (Leone)
Raiders of the lost Ark(Spielberg)
For a few Dollars More (Leone)
I thought Das Boot was magnificent. Not seen a better war film. The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse run it close, though. I have ordered Come and See and Brotherhood. Oh and is Stalingrad any good?
I liked Stalingrad although it's a tad slow imo.
I've got The Lives of Others, too. Did you see Europa Europa?
4 of lynch's? I must watch those.
I didnt like it too much. Sort of movie that is more than watchable, but very easily forgettable.
The Hitcher (that version with Rutger Hauer)
The Sting
Las Vegas Parano
Session 9
Exorcist
Seven

No. My flat mate thought I had seen it and sent it back. I'll have to get it again.
They're all very good. Although I haven't seen Eraserhead. Mullholland Dr was brilliant, too. Wild at Heart another one I really enjoyed.
Duel is Spielberg's 1971 TV movie. But I think its his best
Closely followed by Raiders and The Sugarland Express.
I would choose 5 Lynch movies from those 3 guys though
How about Scorsese, Coppola and Ridley Scott?
Godfather 2
Apocalypse Now
Raging Bull/Taxi Driver (can't decide which)
Godfather
Blade Runner
Apocalypse Now
Raging Bull/Taxi Driver (can't decide which)
Godfather
Blade Runner
Is that a Japanese movie about a man who ends up in the desert or am I thinking of another movie?
Apocalypse Now
TaxiDriver
Bladerunner
Raging Bull
The Rain People(Coppola)
Yes, no Godfather. Tonight.
TaxiDriver
Bladerunner
Raging Bull
The Rain People(Coppola)
Yes, no Godfather. Tonight.
yes.
Haven't seen The Rain People.
Great movie then. Saw it a couple years ago.
It is an early movie. That and Conversation are deeply underrated.
But it should have been Lucas/Coppola/Scorsese.
That would have been
Apocalypse Now
Star Wars
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
THX 1138
I loved the Conversation. I'm sure Salvation will have something to say about that.
Haven't seen THX 1138. Lucas hasn't directed enough movies although he's written some brilliant ones. Anyone know why he didn't direct anything in between for 20 years?

Because he got too involved in the business side of SW.
Fantastic visual director. THX was so much ahead of its time.
The new DVD has a nice documentary on the whole San Fransisco scene.
