Happy Face 29 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Cinema Paradiso http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095765/ Stunning. Directors cut or normal version? The Directors one was a bit too much for me. Wish I'd seen the shorter one first because even after three hours the ending was a fantastic moment, I just would have preferred a more succint build up to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEFugVbzsSo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The King Of Comedy. The film and both De Niro's performance are both hugely overlooked by many, De Niro plays the role so well, utter cringe worthy at times, which is how exactly it was meant to be.

Guest alex Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 A lot of people on here seem to think it's cool to hang out of the Coen bros arses for some strange reason If I didn't like their films, I'd say so though. I thought Raising Arizona was pretty shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even rate 'The Third Man' Couldn't bring myself to watch 'The Ladykillers' like. You can't improve on perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The Man Who Wasn't There. As brilliant as the last time I watched it. Wacky will disagree like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Sunshine - It was canny. I thought it was visually stunning in places and had some good ideas. Obviously borrowed heavily from stuff like Alien and Event Horizon. The last 20 minutes or so just seemed to be a letdown though, with the tension that had previously been built just ebbing away. Not Danny Boyle's best film by a long chalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 A lot of people on here seem to think it's cool to hang out of the Coen bros arses for some strange reason Millers Crossing, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou and Barton Fink are all class but I haven't really got into Blood Simple, Raising Arizona or The Man Who Wasn't there. They aren't infallible but they have produced some outstating efforts and I can't wait to see No Country For Old Men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Beowulf Brilliant ! wasn't expecting to enjoy it at all after hearing of the bastardisation of the story and having Ray Winston provide a Cockerny barrowboy accent, but I was really pleasantly surprised.

Guest alex Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 'Nine Queens' - No it isn't gay porn. Argentine film about a couple of con men working the streets of Buenos Aires. Excellent, clever 'sting' movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 The Pusher. The first one of the trilogy. A film set in the Danish underwold about a dealer who gets way over his head with some not very nice Serbians. Absolutely cracking film, I'd really recommend. Cheers Alex.
