Movie suggestions
 

I'm not that fussy, so any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

currently showing or dvd? and whats your mood/goal/preference?

Dvd and it can be a very mainstream movie or anything more obscure, it doesn't matter.

hm i tend to match movies to my moods just like music

let's see

without knowing what you's looking for it's a wild guess, so...

how about a zhang yimou restrospective?

red sorghum -> raise the red lantern -> the story of qiu ju -> to live -> shanghai triad -> hero -> house of flying daggers -> curse of the golden flower

im skipping the ones i havent seen

or sam peckinpah?

major dundee --> the wild bunch -> straw dogs -> pat garret & billy the kid --> bring me the head of alfredo garcia --> the cross of iron

jim jarmusch perhaps?

permanent vacation --> stranger than paradise --> mystery train --> night on earth --> dead man --> ghost dog --> coffee & cigarettes --> broken flowers

ive skipped the ones i havent seen cos i cant recommend them personally

theres lots more but give us a hint

Wings of Desire

or

March of the Penguins

or

Finding Nemo

something by fellini

or bergman

--

maybe some kenneth anger?

oh shit, befor i go:

the decline of the american empire --> the barbarian invasions

by denys arcand. in that order please.

you're going to love those characters i think.

warrior king

desperatly seeking susan.

"Le Avventure di Barbapapà".

priceless.

ha ha, hilarious

The latest films that I have seen and think are good are; Spun; Idle Hands; Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas; Hostel.
Hostel seemed to receive lots of bad reviews, but I think it was pretty good, very disturbing story.

anything Woody Allen.
for comedic go with bananas or Annie Hall
for more serious go with melinda and melinda or Hannah and her sisters.

l'avventura

galaxy quest is funny too.
Go for "HUDSON HAWK", then.

out of the two movies recently made about truman capote, this one is not necessarily the better one (they're both very good) but is definitely the more entertaining of the two. it's not so heavy.

You deserve your rep once more. I prefer this version to the more (in)famous one.

i dig capote. the man had style (save for that hideous black and red sweater, but everyone has room for mistakes.)

Definately one of those who influenced me big time as a teen.

would never have guessed it

and the guy who played him in Infamous, (toby..jones?) looked JUST like him.

pinche porkie--

seeing as how you're the recommendation requester equivalent of a cocktease, i should not put much effort into looking for more stuff, but in any case, i just finished watching this, and it's definitely worth mentioning:




beautiful, beautiful movie, and maybe if a bit obvious towards the end, still wonderful in every sense.

i hope you or someone else here enjoys it.

and now, STEAK TIME.

bye.

I've mentioned this movie before, but I don't know if you've seen it yet.
It's well worth while.

Mr Murray alone is worth the price of admission...saw it for the 4th or 5th time last night...

I liked this one.
