there are a few regionless dvd's such as 'gantz graf' and bjork's live dvd's. these can be watched on any system. usually dvd's are made regionless when they are released simultaneously around the world. |

theres only one word for it: devious.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
highly underrated are (imo):True Lies, Aliens, Terminator 1 and 2, Total recall, Johnny mnemonic. |
||||||||

Aliens underrated? I would say Alien is underrated - much better than Aliens imo. Aliens is always being called the best in the series..! and Terminator 1 & 2? nah.. |
||||||||
|

jonny mnemonic deserves all the shit the critics can throw at it. and aliens, T1 and T2 underrated? I think not. |
||||||||
|

agreed, 'aliens' blows but 'alien' is magnificent! each movie was directed by a different director and it really shows. james cameron is way too hollywood for me. |

"alien" is incredible. the beauty of the imagery, incredible acting, music used in a good way (not used at all in tense scenes), wonderful music score (the sounds when the titles appear..).. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
unless i recall incorrectly, wasn't the music for alien minimalist electronic stuff? |
||||||||
|

oh man.. i know theres tons of movies im forgetting... but heres a few i just remembered... slacker (the original...not that new one) fantastic planet (incredibly bizarre animated movie from the 70's...) the cruise baraka whats up tiger lily? anyone seen any of those? ..im sure ill keep remembering more |

i dont remember it being too electronic... it may have been though.. i havent seen it in a long time... but i remember it being very beautiful and atmospheric...in fact.. this thread just reminded me of it and im looking for it now on soulseek... alien is a great movie...not sure its undervalued though... aliens definitely isnt... i actually like them both... alien was a great suspense movie.. and a classic sci fi film i believe to be right up there with 2001... and aliens is a well done blockbuster type action movie.. you really cant compare the two... they're pretty different... they're practically in two different genres |

i meant sort of ambient electronic with analog pulses here and there. but i haven't seen it in a while either. i thought the transition from an understated sci-fi film like 'alien' to an action blockbuster like 'aliens' was horrific. |

DAWN OF THE DEAD? |

|
|

It was...yes!! |

Even though its a depressing film, I've always liked Deutschland bleiche Mutter (Germany Pale Mother) |
||||||||
|

Leon and Ghost Dog are classics, as is Predator: Arnie's finest hour? I think so, violent and hilarious in equal content. As for A.I, I thought that was one of the most overated films I've ever seen. Its just Pinnochio with a huge budget?! Very disappointing. |

AI sucks. Kubrick would have cried to see the shit Mr Zion Spielberg done to his idea |

anyone mentioned "The Idiots" yet? B3n, if you see this, what is KES? |
||||||||

Well, if he doesn't see this, its one of THE best British films ever made and is based on the book 'A Kestrel for a Knave' by Barry Hines (also a classic). Here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004CJCG/qid%3D1 030442180/026-8739970-7234016 |

And it was directed by the socialist director Ken Loach who also made Carla's Song, Bread and Roses, Land & Freedom, My Name is Joe and loads more I can't remember. He's like mike Leigh only more political (sometimes to the detriment of his art). |

thanx. Sounds qutie familiar, I may have seen it... |
||||||||

no, its full orchestral music, but with some strange scraping and rattling sounds. the OST isn't available anymore, sometimes through eBay.. a few days ago I ordered a cd with the best bits from the first 3 alien OSTs redone with an orchestra - half of the music is from 'alien'.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn...i rememer seeing it on vinyl at a store when i was little... its ok.. i found it all on soulseek last night.. and yeah, it is mostly orchestral.. with a few weird sounds and eraserhead- soundtrack-style rumbling on a few of the tracks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get the alien dvd. it has an isolated music score. awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahhh that's right. the rumbly bits are awesome. i dunno, i like that sort of stuff. |
||||||||
|

I'd have to agree with Ghost Dog and I shall also say that Slackers is for the most part undervalued because not many people have seen it. I'm sure that it will become a cult classic eventually, anyway. |

i just watched 'the wizard of oz' for the first time in years and its incredible! whoa! cant believe it's so old |

Once Were Warriors Such an amazing film, quite disturbing but very moving at the same time. |
