Zorba The Greek. Rarely are movies made like this anymore.

nicfit 07.31.2007 11:56 AM

Napoleon Dynamite = bleeeeeeeeeeh. hugely disappointing, I didn't expect a masterpiece, but , like, some sort of "Rushmore" or something similar.

Disgruntled Youth 07.31.2007 03:57 PM

Rockers I haven't seee the film in 10 years.

Silent Dan Speaks 07.31.2007 10:44 PM

Shaun of the Dead.

Sonic Youth 37 07.31.2007 10:58 PM

All That Jazz. Ever since subscribing to Netflix I feel like I've gone through movies like tissues, but I kept this one around for a few more days. I just couldn't watch it enough. I finally sent it back and I wish I hadn't.

Tokolosh 08.01.2007 02:22 AM

Another war film to add to my collection. Thanks for the tip !@#$%!.

I've just spent a week watching the first season of Heroes. I know, I know, it's not a movie, but it's quite nice for a tv serie. Light viewing with a post 911 touch to it. Nothing to die for, but enjoyable.

Ps: 'Save the cheerleader' sounds silly though. :D

SynthethicalY 08.01.2007 02:23 AM

Hey !@#$%! that was an awesome movie, I really liked it.

i've watched his earliest-- fireworks, puce moment, some stuff he did in france--rabbit moon, another one with a fireworks=related title-- and inauguration of the pleasure dome. without a doubt anger was a genius set & costume designer. the movies themselves however can get a bit dull at times because what's applealing to the dreamer of a dream doesn't always resonate with the public that is told the dream. but nevertheless some unforgettably amazing images & scenes to be studied 7 watched over & over. not for "the story" but for the brilliant shots-- superb style.

American Beauty
 


though i was a bit stoned, and kept having deja vu throughout it...so maybe i had seen it before...either way, it is really good...maybe i'll watch it again.

Zelig. I've decided to lay off Woody Allen for a while. It's just not healthy to watch his movies like I've been doing lately.

fucking cool. a catalog of frustrated desire.

A Thousand Threads 08.02.2007 07:15 AM

 

i really enjoyed it

Silent Dan Speaks 08.02.2007 11:42 AM

The laughter is great, but I'm worried that Woody Allen is making me more neurotic than I already am, and no one wants that.

ah ha ha. hannah & her sisters should be a good cure for what ails you.

Silent Dan Speaks 08.02.2007 12:13 PM

Please don't encourage me. It's become an addiction.

World Trade Center. The one with Nicholas Cage. Very good, on the whole.

GrungeMonkey 08.03.2007 05:54 AM

saw "Brick" for the 3rd time. Awesome film. Definately worth checking out.

val-holla-ing 08.03.2007 08:33 PM

i just watched "a guide to recognizing your saints." not bad, but not worth breaking your neck to see. i think i'll watch "akira" next.

Silent Dan Speaks 08.04.2007 12:11 AM

2001: A Space Oddyssey, for the first time.

Their is no way in hell you would get me to watch that film specially with Nick Cage as the star of the movie.

Hip Priest 08.04.2007 04:52 PM

We've just watched Ushpizin on BBC4. Superb film, wonderfully spirited. I'm glad I recorded it.

It's about time, wouldn't you say?

 

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid.

One of my alltime favorites.

Silent Dan Speaks 08.04.2007 05:51 PM

Yeah, definetly. I think I'm going to have to watch it a few more times. That ending really messed with my head.

Zelda Harris (born February 17, 1985) is an American actress.
Harris was born in New York City, New York to Karen and Philip Harris. She has a sister, Kenya. A self-assured film and TV actress who caught the attention of critics with her central performance in Spike Lee's Crooklyn (1994), Harris began appearing in commercials while still an infant. From there she became a regular on the celebrated children's series Sesame Street.
In 1991, Harris made her episodic TV debut, in an episode of I'll Fly Away. Her talents made her an appealing choice for the role of Troy, the only daughter amidst a swarm of boys, in Lee's loosely autobiographical film Crooklyn. She was next seen as Jessi in The Baby-Sitters Club (1995), Melanie Mayron's adaptation of the popular novels. In 1997 she co-starred in a USA Network movie Clover. In 1998 she reteamed with Spike Lee for the feature He Got Game, with Denzel Washington; in this film, she plays Mary, the younger sister of basketball prospect Jesus Shuttleworth (Ray Allen).
Harris attends Princeton University, where she is a member of the Class of 2007.[citation needed] In 2005, she played the Queen in a performance of William Shakespeare's Cymbeline at the Theater Intime.

just saw this for the first time. wow, what a great movie.
 

Tokolosh 08.05.2007 09:04 AM

Peter Greenaway's films are paintings in motion.

I've only seen:
The Belly of an Architect
Drowning by Numbers
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover
Prospero's Books
The Baby of Mācon
The Pillow Book

Love them all. Also, his exhibitions are well worth visiting.

fugazifan 08.05.2007 09:12 AM

before this i have only seen drowning by numbers, which was fantastic.
my friend has most of his films on either VHS or DVD. i will be watching many of them in the near future. but this movie was really beyond good.
the colors, the script, the acting, the story, the grotesquness, the sex....
perfect
