My favorite list (these are just the ones I can remember right now): Strozek Irreversible City of God Royal Tenebaums Dr Strangelove Se7en Gummo At least one person here mentioned Werner Herzog. I can pretty much safely put three or four of his films in my favorites, but I just added strozek, cause its my favorite herzog film. Hatelist: Donnie Darko Pi + Requiem for a Dream American Beauty (or anything else that has kevin spacey in it except for se7en) Star Wars (all five of them) |

2001 apocalypse now blade runner (wasn't this supposed to be a failure? the atmosphere is amazing) a clockwork orange while we're on the subject, pi was far from shit, it's definitly better than a lot of movies out there. |

Dude... do you realize what you just said? there are hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of movies out there... and you are saying pi is better than a lot of them? If you take into account for the output of bollywood (which averages about four times as many films as america), then you could say that any american film is better than a lot of them. That includes alien verses preditor. |

why do [so] many people like Blade Runner ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cos its rubbish. |
||||||||
|
|

also fight club |

Hee hee! I don't really like donnie darko all that much, and pi and fight club were both terrible. Pi just seems like an extended music video that travels rapidly up it's own annoying arse. |

how long have you stopped watching Blade Runner? do you still watch Blade Runner? how do you feel about it ? do you think its affected your quality of life, good or bad? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
havent watched it for about a year no its a good film (well the directors cut is) bad, in a good way. y'know bad = good, cos i'm down with 'it' |

'what is the meaning of life?" SHUT da fuck UP!!! kidding |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
next thread should be like "the meaning of Blade Runner" "women are like robots" "life is short" "you can run but you can't hide" etc. |

deckard was the last replicant. that explains everything you need to know about the film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, everyone says that. what's the ultimate proof, though ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dr. strangelove for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

In July 2000, director Ridley Scott said that Deckard is, in fact, a replicant. |

proof ! i need proof ! |

Requiem for a dream, deer hunter, 2001, taxi driver, the pianist.. Don't know why you're all bashing pi so much, I didn't like it for the soundtrack, it could've worked with plenty of other kinds of music. |

I also love Metropolis and Man with a Movie Camera. :) Oh and Claude Chabrol makes amazing flicks :D And Spookylukes mention of L'Eclisse--my favorite Antonioni!! :D Ive noticed that a lot of people are just putting thier favorite movies/movies that they greatly enjoyed as opposed to films that are well-made. I find a difference between an enjoyable, entertaining movie and something that is a serious piece of amazingly made work. I dont see how Donnie Darko, Pi, Requiem, and Boogie Nights can end up here, among other movies. I mentioned Pi because I enjoyed it--but whom ever said it ws like a long music video is pretty much right on :) I would like to add Jean-Luc Godards CONTEMPT to my list. :) Shame (Bergman) 8 1/2 (Fellini) City Lights (Chaplin) Contempt (Godard) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i enjoyed it then it is 'best', i dont care how well-made it is. Rat race! |
||||||||

Shame (Bergman) 8 1/2 (Fellini) City Lights (Chaplin) Contempt (Godard) L'Eclisse (Antonioni) Hiroshima mon amour (Renais) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But while we are talling about favorites too, some of my other favorites are Blue Velvet and Eraserhead (Lynch), Dr. Strangelove and The Killing (Kubrick), Breaking the Waves (von Trier), Hidden Fortress and Ikiru (Kurosawa), La Rupture and Le Boucher (Chabrol), Blackmail and Strangers on a Train (Hitchcock), Metropolis (Lang), Reservoir Dogs (Tarantino--yes, seriously), and oh my god what about The Umbrellas of Cherbourg?? And Sidney Lumet, Billy Wilder, Francois Truffaut!! I think Ive posted enough hahaha any more movie updates I will keep to myself, I swear :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would assert that donnie darko and boogie nights are actually well-made, solid films. both are generally misunderstood, but all the experts i've consulted with about them agree they're great movies. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha okay... Ill just have to smile politely and take your word for it I guess ;) |

you can feel free to rudely disagree and yell at me and storm off in a huff, if you prefer. |

can i? |
||||||||
|
|

i'd just like to say "screw you" to you people who can actually watch movies like Pitfall and L'Eclisse... i've been trying to see those two forever... :P |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

Fffttt! Doesnt have L'Eclisse?!? where do you go? |
||||||||

did you see cheers last night? norm's new job was to hang out in the bar and fire people and cry for them and console them. his acting ability was stretched to the limit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the last cheers i saw was where carla got a job in a new bar and they paid her so much she couldnt go back to low-paid cheers - until they hired a new waitress to work with her who looked/acted uncannily like diane! didnt see that coming! and carla freaked out and went back to cheers. |

University of Alberta... it's probably one of the better programs in Canada... not in terms of prestige or anything (there is no such thing in Film Studies), just cause we have good profs, who are actually focused on film from a film perspective, as opposed to something more sociological or media-centric... next year i get to take a whole course of Brakhage, Tarkovsky, and Syderberg... it will be the best course i've ever taken in university... i'm so excited. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i realise what i said. there are so many films out there i want to see but cant seem to get my hands on. i'm sure there are tons of better films than pi. around here pi is one of the better films available. i enjoyed it. |
