blacker than black - from IMDB "A film crew follows a ruthless thief and heartless killer as he goes about his daily routine. But complications set in when the film crew lose their objectivity and begin lending a hand." |

The Thin Red Line is the most beautiful film ever made. Not the best by any stretch of the imagination, but just stunningly shot.

Sunshine (Danny Boyle one), and no one ever gives O Brother, Where Art Thou enough attention.
|
|
By:
You mean the film with the soundtrack so popular that they made a film about the soundtrack? Yeah, nobody ever mentions O Brother...

slippy blue does  |
|
By:
Almost no-one I know has ever heard of it, and actually its cinematography is why I love it.
|
|
By:
Slippy watches it through sepia-tinted spectacles, Mr B.

Destination Moon deserves a mention, IMHO that is!!!

Chopper never seems to get a shout, I thought Eric Bana was quite brilliant.
|
|
By:
Chopper is an ace film
|
|
By:
It is indeed duncan, a very solid 9/10 job with the thumb. I heartily recommend it to anyone who has yet to see it.
|
|
By:
I read Chopper before I saw the film. Entertaining enough book, and I thought they did a great job with the film. Agree that Bana was excellent, as he usually is, but would be a bit stingier than Slippy and only give it a 7, maybe 8 if I'm in a generous mood.
Certainly wouldn't put anyone off watching it though. Well, maybe my nan! |

Leon (the professional) not shown nearly enough.
|
|
By:
Love Leon. Possibly to the point of overrating it.
|
|
By:
I have the DVD Going to watch it later now I've remembered it!, I know what you mean about liking it to the point of overrating it
 |
|
By:
Leon is excellent, Gary Oldman's performance is sublime.
|
|
By:
One of his best pumphol.

I've just spotted that Doubt is on BBC4 at 22.00 tonight, it's worth a viewing. Meryl Streep and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.

07 May 15 22:41 The Warriors First film I ever watched on VHS. |
|
By:
On the other side Parker has been at the cooking sherry and spelt ruined as runed which prompts me to offer you
"Night Of The Demon" taken from the Montague Rhodes James classic The Casting Of The Runes. And I have been on the sherbet as well......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz |
|
By:
One thing about the Warriors, its neither forgotten or neglected imo
|
|
By:
You could make a strong case that it should be!
|
|
By:
That's probably for another thread like films that should be neglected & forgotten, not that I would put it in that category.
|
|
By:
It's obviously a cult classic and I probably watched it twenty times when I was a kid, but it has 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. WTF?
I quite like RDB's list, though. |
|
By:
Its a 70's film & you have to take it on how you felt about it at the time, which as you have seen it so many times you must have thought it a great film at one stage, Iv'e seen it about ten times I doubt I would want to see it another ten
 |
|
By:
I was about 12 Pumps, and obviously thought it was the sh!t at the time. I've seen it once as an adult and thought it was cringeworthy, if I'm honest. Maybe I'll watch it again and decide it's somewhere in between the two. Still, 94%
|
|
By:
Oddly enough, I saw Death Wish recently and thought it was much better than the shower of sh!te I'd remembered it as.
|
|
By:
If you watched it now it would look quite dated, though do you realise that 94% on Rotten Tomatoes means its good not bad
|
|
By:
Death wish 67% on RT
|
|
By:
I didn't say it was good, just better than I remembered. 67% is probably too high for either of them!
|
|
By:
Death Wish also 'memorable' for early film appearances by Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Guest and an uncredited Denzel Washington.
