Lack of originality.
Just watched The Mirror(Zerkalo). Brilliant film. I think I got the gist of it. Felt surreal and haunting in parts. Loved the last 30-40 mins in particular.

I'll definitely have to watch it again, though.
I'll probably watch 39 Steps today.
Oh shit. . . had forgotten about that one.
And I reckon Cinc would love The Mirror(not the awful paper).

I hate watching films on my comp screen.
Just plain wrong.

So do you burn every movie on a CD after downloading it?
Burn around 4/5 on a DVD.
Alright cuntos.
What shall I watch next?
Come and See, Andrie Rublov, Deep Red, Les Enfants du paradis or Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. . . and Spring?

Was going to ask about this...recomend?
An excellent movie. One of the best war movies ever. Right up there with Apocalypse now and FMJ.

Been on my to see list for ages.
Mehro likes it. . . which means there are probably a lot of people sticking bananas up their arses.
It's haunting in the Deer Hunter kind of way only worse because the protagonist is a kid.
Michael Cimino. I've just seen his film catalogue. The Deer Hunter really was an anomaly wasn't it?
I don't like bananas. Peaches and mangoes for me.
Das Boot, The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now are the best three that I have seen. All focus on different aspects of war and all. Come and See I hope will be up there.
I really don't want to get my hopes up though.

Yeah, he didn't do too many movies. Never seen or heard of anything else by him.
Good choices...maybe with Downfall thrown in, too?
Yeah, great movie. Didn't think it was as good as those three, though. But I've only seen it once. The bloke who played Hitler was amazing.
Seen some decent German movies.
True. I may have praised it too much already. Forget everything I said and just watch it.
I'd add FMJ to the list you made. A lot of people go on about Platoon but for me Platoon never added anything to the Vietnam war that we hadn't already seen in FMJ and Deer Hunter. Although Oliver Stone did say that he had tried to portray his own war experiences which I guess make it a little scary in a different kind of way.
Damn it, I don't want to go overboard with the praise but the first thought I had after watching Come and See was that it was better than Downfall. Both were good though.
Not seen FMJ for years. I'd love to watch it again. Same goes for Platoon. . . in fact I think I last watched Platoon in 87/88.
Anyone see The Nostalgia Factory? http://imdb.com/title/tt0059527/
Also, Ballad of a Soldier and Armée des ombres, L'?
Nope. But I'd love to watch a few war films. I kind of get a thirst to watch a certain genre or films from the same region.
Alright then folks.

Anything with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepbburn in it together
Amelie
It's a Wonderful Life (how obvious is that choice?)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...well, it eventually becomes a feel good movie
Struggling for a fifth, so going for The Jerk, off the top of my head

Brilliant film.
Sadly I haven't had a whole lot of time to watch movies lately. Maybe by next Wednesday my schedule will become more open so I can catch up a bit. At this rate, Spoony will know more than I do in a couple months.
I doubt that'd be possible.
I agree with Mehro, Come and See is probably the best of that bunch. By Les Enfants du paradis do you mean the Iranian film The Children of Heaven?
So does Ivanovo detstvo - another brilliant Ruskie war film.
Nah. It's an old French film.
http://imdb.com/title/tt0037674/
I nearly bought the Iranian one a couple of months back.
Ivan's Childhood?
How does that compare with Tarkovsky's other work?

The Simpson's Movie More or less what you would expect but hilarious in the main. It is a while since I have heard so many gut laughs in a cinema. Kind of like a long episode and sadly lacking many of the main characters for the sake of narrative but excellent anyway. 8/10
Seems as if you're the only person who has given it a good review. I'll check it out, though. Not expecting much, considering how lame the show has become over the last decade.
Just got all the music the Goblins did for Argento movies.....nice.
