Planning to watch Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Fire Walk With Me and Mulholland Drive....and providing I'm not totally weirded out, might sneak in Lost Highway and The Elephant Man.

Elephant Man isn't weird like Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive.

And they aren't a patch on Inland Empire. Not only does the fuck with your head, it makes you want to jump off a huge cliff and kill yourself.

Watch The Sting if you haven't seen it Spoons.

mehro · 22nd December 2007, 00:56

I'm glad you liked it.

Seen it. Liked it. Better than Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which I also enjoyed.

Donado · 22nd December 2007, 00:57

It is better, isn't it...Butch Cassidy was always The film for me.This one surpassed expectations.

Wibble · 22nd December 2007, 14:48

The Sting is far better than BCATSDK.

Spammy · 22nd December 2007, 14:52

No no no no no no and no.

Spammy · 22nd December 2007, 14:53

So wrong it hurts.

Wibble · 22nd December 2007, 14:54

Dear Frankie

A small budget Scottish film. I don't want to spoil the plot for the majority who haven't seen this one. This is the story of a deaf kid and his mother. For reasons that gradually become apparent the father is not around. The son writes to him on a regular basis but there is a twist which forces the mother to find a replacement father for a day.

Simple, effective, emotive and superbly acted. Exactly what we are missing from Hollywood these days. Deeply moving. My missus was in floods of tears and she doesn't blub easily and I was close to welling up a few times.

9.5/10 - Find it and watch it at all costs.

BKATSDK was a fairly standard buddy movie.

Right, you're on my shit list.

Still haven't gotten to see Inland Empire yet...note to self: must find three spare hours of my life to indulge in more Lynchian weirdness!

Might cheer myself up later tonight and watch It's a Wonderful Life for about the fifty thousandeth time.

Spam, I love Butch Cassidy, I fucking love it but The Sting is a much better movie.

Donado · 22nd December 2007, 21:06

Yep.

Butch Cassidy isn't average though.

Spoonatov · 22nd December 2007, 21:41

Saw Kagemusha today. Very good film. Not a patch on Ran, though, in terms of enjoyment. I watched it a couple of years ago. . . well half of it, but I just couldn't get into it. This time, it wasn't a problem, perhaps becasue I've seen a few other of his films.

mehro · 22nd December 2007, 23:17

Central Station and Once Were Warriors. Watch them before you finish your lists, people.

Donado · 22nd December 2007, 23:22

I want to watch Scrubs.Season 4.Link.Pronto.

mehro · 22nd December 2007, 23:28

Fuck you

Donado · 22nd December 2007, 23:29

Please.

Spoonatov · 22nd December 2007, 23:54

I've got The Killer on DVD 5.1, should I watch it?

I think I should.

Donado · 23rd December 2007, 00:00

Has anyone seen the Bale and Crowe movie?the Yuma one?

Donado · 23rd December 2007, 00:01

I can't do this all on my ooown, no I'm no, I'm no Supermayan

Spoonatov · 23rd December 2007, 00:03

I think you should watch Jacob's Ladder.

Yeah. 3:10 to Yuma. Good movie.

Spoonatov · 23rd December 2007, 00:05

I can't wait to see Hammer's and Ole's list.

Spoonatov · 23rd December 2007, 00:09

Is Bullet in the Head any good?

mehro · 23rd December 2007, 00:10

Never heard of it. But Bullitt is good.

Donado · 23rd December 2007, 00:13

Fuckin buffs

mehro · 23rd December 2007, 00:15

Bullitt has that car chase scene in downtown San Francisco that's been copied a million times. Steve McQueen at his best.
