The Official 'I Love Movies' thread
 

I liked the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I gotta read the book now.

I watched the Shining again recently, I love that movie.

The Shining is my all time fave.

Saw Mandalay last night and it was excellent. Maybe not qute up there with Dogville but still pretty great. Really looking forward to the last in the trilogy now.

I'll stick to a few favourites.

Movies: Pi (wonderful), What to do In Case of Fire, Noi Albinoi. Also Rosencrantz and Guildernstern Are Dead, Three Colours: White, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, The Luzhin Defence, Dog Soldiers, Dangerous Liaisons, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Versus, Public Enemy amongst others.
Actors/Actresses : Tim Roth, Jean-Hughes Anglade, Julie Delpy.

Directors: Krystoff Kieslowski, Darren Aronovsky. A lot of the films that are my favourites are fairly recent debut features, so it's ahrd to say about overall work. The guy who made Noi Albinoi sid it might be the only film he ever makes as that's the one goodstory he's got so far!

I definetly agree w/ Hip Priest, "Pi" is a wonderful movie.

A few personal favorites:
Empire Records, Stay, Fight Club. Twelve Monkeys

A few I want to see:
Wu-tang Clan, Edward Scissorhands, SLC punk, the shining

I'm not really big on movies myself, I've been watching more and more lately.

Trust me Inhuman, you will love SLC Punk. It's the classic, well known punk movie. & I totally forgot about Empire Records. Maybe 'cuz I've seen it 20 million times. & I would like to see the Wu-Tang Clan movie as well.
Have you seen the movie "Coffe & Cigarrettes"?

Hip Priest...don't worry. The guy that did Noi Albinoi has recently done another film. It's called Dark Horse I think but it also has some alternate title I can't recall. It played at a film festival that I volunteered at but, alas, I was working on another film when it was on. Noi Albinoi was great though. (actually, the guy who directed it is also in some Icelandic band...slowblow I think....they were in that documentary about Icelandic music...Screaming Masterpiece.)

Coffee and Cigarettes is great, but I hated SLC punk. I thought it was just so ridiculous. The only thing really good was the soundtrack. I think Hackers will remain Mathew Lillards best movie.

Trainspotting is a good watch though. It is the only movie I could ever take seriously that related to AIDS. I can't take Philadelphia seriously because so many people say that it is such a good touching and sad movie.

Some of my favorite movies:
Psycho, the Shining, Dr. Strangelove, A Shot in the Dark, The Graduate, Lolita, Catch-22 (almost as good as the book), One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (the book was better, but still good), Annie Hall, Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex but were Afraid to Ask, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, Temple of Doom, Empire Strikes Back, Clerks, Rushmore, Gattaca, 12 Monkeys, Eraserhead, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Blazing Saddles

"Bill Motherfuckin' Murray"
-Coffe & Cigarrettes

pi and requiem for a dream, definitely. anyone else overly psyched for aronofsky's forthcoming the fountain?

er other stuff? ghost world, apocalypse now, pre-lotr peter jackson, godard, cronenberg, george romero, jeunet, tim burton, i heart huckabees

i saw tsotsi the other night. VERY good. if its in release wherever any of you live, see it. amazing score.

I'll check Coffee & Cigarettes out sometime this weekend! I've seen Empire at least 15 times as well, I know nearly every line to it by now, but I haven't watched it in ages. I'm seeing SLC punk this weekend because my girlfriend is obsessed with it, and I've heard tonnes about it!
Thanks!

Actually I think that I enjoyed it more than Dogville... but I'll have to see it again to really decide. I'm looking forward to the final part as well... I've heard there will be a different actress playing 'Grace'.

Thank you! This had completely passed me by. I've just found mention of it online, andtomaoorow I'll se if it's on DVD. It was an interview on the Noi DVD where he said it might be his only film. He talks about the band, too - I think some music in Noi is by them.

Thannks again.

I like movies which based on Stephen King's novels and stories... I'm waiting for forthcoming "Desperation" for sure :D

I saw Capote, which was real great, and Magnolia which was too. I plan on seeing The Squid and the Whale, and The Royal Tenenbaums.

I like SLC Punk and have since it came out. I don't know why, though.


The only problem with the movie is that every fucking little stupid punk clique has to have some douchebag named Steve-o in it now.

hackers was a sweet movie.

Hell yeah, me too.....Pet Cemetary is my favorite just over Misery (both after The Shining of course)

Other faves are:

Taxi Driver
Original Star Wars Trilogy
Interview With the Vampire
Apocalypse Now
Basquiat
American Beauty
Anything Kubrick

yep hackers is kool

Noi the Albino was indeed a nice film, very enjoyable... gave you a nice sense of the sadness and anger of being immersed in such a bleak environment.. but it also had an optimism about it that i found quite uplifting..
Pi was also really cool and ingenius
I really enjoyed Before Sunset, the Richard Linklater film.. I think the only film of his I truly dig.. so simple, yet so charming...
Taxi Driver is a classic...
my favourite film-maker is Harmony Korine who directed Sunday.. he also qrote the script for Kids and made two classic films of his own, Gummo and Julien Donkey Boy...
Another favourite is Buffallo 66... I once got to meet Vincent Gallo.. very humble man in person despite his arrogant persona in interviews in such...

Ha....I was watching Gummo the other night. Good times.


"He smells-like a pile-of bullshit!!!"

Can't wait to see "Art School Confidental", the latest collarabtion between Terry Zwigoff and Daniel Clowes. "Ghost World" is one of my all-time favorite movies, and ASC looks to be just as good.

Not the punk clique that I am sort of on the fringe of (I'm the token conservatively dressed guy that likes post-punk as well)

But I do know this really lame rich kid that only likes 80's hardcore punk and has no appreciation for any CBGBs stuff or 70's stuff besides the Ramones. He has a friend named Steve-O. He also plays warhammer. Go figure.

Anyone seen Donnie Darko? Thats a master peice.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was shit.

As for movies, I haven't seen that many. I don't know which ones are supposed to be good and the only movie rental store in my town is Blockbuster and it sucks for movies...

I really like House of 1000 Corpes, though (I mention it because I saw it recently).
Liked the Lord of the Rings, though I'm hard pressed to sit through one of the movies, it usually takes me two days to finish one.
Uhhh....the Labryinth and the Dark Crystal are good, but I haven't seen them in a while.
Some of the Monty Python movies are good.
I like live concerts..


Oh yeah, saw Fight Club the other day on TV and really enjoyed it..

I love that movie too.

I'm a Star Wars nerd.

Ready, Teddy, Death is pretty amusing...as long as you don't get too sentimental about your precious.

I don't think it's available in the US, but I think most of you in Europe, Oceana, Japan and Korea can find it...

I havent fave movies but fave film makers (not avantgarde spking) that I'll type random:
Kubrick, Hitchcock, Fellini, Pasolini, Bunuel, Loach, Scorsese, Tarantino, Kusturica and others I'm forgetting....

Hey I'm a real Harmony Korine fan as well... have you read 'A Crackup At The Race Riots'?... it's genius. Gummo is probably my favourite American movie... I say probably because my brain goes into apoplectic spasms when I speculate what my fave American movie could be... because there are so many amazing ones... especially from the 70's.

Jesus don't get me started.

Love and Death by Woody Allen is the greatest film ever created.

Me tooooo. The fact Zwigoff is collaborated again with Clowes makes sure that the movie won't be disappointing. (spelling? sorry)

I just watched Trainspotting for the 1st time this weekend, I thought it was really good.

Office Space
Slackers
Bottle Rocket
The Big Lebowski

Rushmore is my favorite Wes Anderson movie. Royal Tennenbaums a close second. I like Bottle Rocket, but it sort of is missing something.

For me it goes:

Bottle Rocket
Rushmore
Royal Tenenbaums
the Life Aquatic

i thought life aquatic was infinitely better than royal tenenbaums
