Films you have to see before you die

[Reply #120 on:]

My favorite Chritopher Walken movie is The Deer Hunter.

[Reply #121 on:]

Withnail & I.

A film I have partly based my life around.
Plus you just might learn something...

Like don't mix your drinks and rich uncles are always raging homosexuals.

"Can we have a pheasant?"

Monty Python's 'The Meaning of Life'

[Reply #124 on:]

The Proposition.

Bleak and beautiful.

Has anyone said a film from John Waters? Good. Don't. Overrated and boring sack of peanuts, is a good way to describe his films. Pink Flamingoes isn't the grossest film you've seen.

Freaks, for some reason or another, made me really uncomfortable. I guess it was those pinhead girls dancing around the torso-guy in the forest.. Also, the end sequence in the rain and where all the freaks are crawling around, chasing the girl..

I'll recommend it, though. It's just one of those films that you have to see.. Like Nosferatu or Faces Of Death. The latter being a fantastic piece of hilarity for stoned teenagers. The former being a film for serious black skivvy inner-suburb pretentious artists.

Has anyone seen War and Peace..? The 1968 soviet version, directed by Sergei Bondarchuk. I've yet to track it down locally and have been dying to see it for years. I'd love to watch it on the big-screen, though. It'd definately be an experience..

As a change of pace, a film that nobody should EVER see is the Stephen King adaptation 'Dreamcatcher', with Morgan Freeman in it. I wish I hadn't been made to sit through that disgusting overacted mishmash of fetid crap. It stole two hours of my life. I still have no idea what the hell it was about and I don't want to - all I needed to know was that there were parasitic anus creatures and an intellectually disabled kid who turns into an alien superhero thing for no reason. Insane.

[Reply #127 on:]

Huh... has anyone mentioned Amelie, yet? Probably one of the only films I've ever seen where I get a several day long buzz after seeing it. And, given my usual dour disposition, this should be as resounding an endorsment as can be imagined.

[Reply #128 on:]

well... these need to be mentioned.
-The machinist
-Braindead, Meet the Feebles etc.
-In china they eat dogs (Danish), and the sequel: -Old men in new cars (strangely enough Danish too)
maybe you only need to see the last two if your a Dane, but still...

[Reply #129 on:]

SJMoron, I loved Amelie. My younger sister made me watch it. I was resistant because I normally don't enjoy anything that doesn't have at least one helicopter crash or swordfight or swordfight onboard a crashing helicopter. Anyway, I'm glad she did because it touched me... and not in the bad Catholic priest way, in the good *contented sigh* way. Also, I fell in love with Audrey Tautou.

[Reply #130 on:]

Well, you have to. It's mandatory.

[Reply #131 on:]

I know... *sigh*
Haven't seen her in The Da Vinci Code yet. I'll see it after I finish the book. I wasn't gonna read it, but I bowed to pressure. Not the best thing I've ever read (or written for that matter), but well-researched.
Does the movie suck as much as everyone says?

[Reply #132 on:]

I haven't read the book and I don't think I ever will read or see the movie, I heard the movie was kind of stupid, and I don't want to read a book for the sole fact that everyone else has

[Reply #133 on:]

I've recently saw one old movie called Run Silent, Run Deep, its in B/W but imo one of the best war films ever made.

[Reply #134 on:]

I saw the DaVinci Code and it was so boring I fell asleep and the usher had to wake me up.

[Reply #135 on:]

Wait, there are people who aren't in love with Audrey Tautou?

[Reply #136 on:]

George W. Bush isn't.
Let's get him!!

That movie was interesting.

[Reply #138 on:]

It was about as interesting as watching someone tune a radio for 3 hours.

[Reply #139 on:]

Only because your not Intelligent and one of the Unbiased people.

[Reply #140 on:]

There's no such thing as an unbiased person.

Also, it's "you're" for "you are", not "your", Mr. Intelligent. 

[Reply #141 on:]

Right nowe I want to see Monster House and one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

Waking Life is a good one. I make my friends all watch "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" as well.

@Gegel you should see the night of the living Bicycles and The Tide by Mette Skov

[Reply #142 on:]

My sister keeps pushing me to see 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'. Is it any good?

[Reply #143 on:]

It's not bad but if you're gonna see a movie based on Hunter Thompson, "Where the Buffalo Roam" is slightly better, maybe I'm just a bigger fan of Bill Murray than Johnny Depp

Well, I saw it the other day. It shouldnt have been slated as much as it was like, cause it wasnt really that bad. Not the best film Ive ever seen ever, but enough to keep me occupied.

One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest is a great film and I suggest you see it.

[Reply #146 on:]

[Reply #149 on:]

No, I was just complimenting you while also making a reference to the film, FMJ's a good film too

[Reply #150 on:]

No one seems to have mentioned Psycho so I will. It's a really good film with a great twist ending(even though most likely everybody knows it by now).

It's a completely non-sensical film based upon a weekend Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson (God rest his filthy socks) spent in Las Vegas covering some completly unimportant event or another. It's incomprehensible, very quotalbe, and can definately hold the attention... if for no other reason than the psychadelic visuals.

[Reply #152 on:]

Yeah, thompson was supposed to cover some sporting event that he didn't even make it to

[Reply #153 on:]

Sounds different... As long as there isn't any drug use in it I'm sure I'll find it enjoyable.

*wanders off*

[Reply #154 on:]

For those playing along at home who DIDN'T notice Coldy's sarcasm...

There's also a lot. Of. Drugs.

[Reply #155 on:]

M'kay...

Drugs are bad M'Kay

I saw a film last night called Infernal Affairs 2 It's a trilogy and the 3rd one's on right now on TV but the 2nd one was so long I couldn't be assed to watch the 3rd tonight thinking that it might be on just as long. I'll just get them on dvd or something.

But yeah , it's brilliant. It's about 2 gangs in Japan who want to rule Hong Kong. Mafias ,undercover cops , brutal killings , it's got it all. Fantastic film
