I only own about 400 DVDs(product of being self employed and never having a steady paycheck). I'd say I've seen close to 10k(7k or so) movies, that's quite a bit for only being 25 and not really getting heavily into movies until I was 18.

Christ. I reckon I've seen over 2K. A lot of shit amongst that lot, though.

I don't even want to think about how many horrible movies I have seen.

I don't know how you guys get through so much stuff. I find it very difficult to watch two movies in any one day, even if it's a day when I'm not doing much else.

botond · 11th October 2008, 18:12

I am legend -- good movie , the main story is a bit old , and i don't understand why the virus gives supernatural powers to those fuckers but overall its worth watching

7/10

Underachiever.

Witness for the Prosecution - Phew, what a climax! I'm glad I hadn't read the short story before I saw the movie. Another masterpiece by Billy Wilder. Double Indemnity, Some Like It hot, The Apartment, Sunset Blvd, I think I might have a new favorite director.

I also recommend One, Two, Three. Another great movie directed by Billy Wilder. Also the Seven Year Itch. Marilyn Monroe at her most iconic probably.

mehro · 12th October 2008, 15:48

I've added another 4-5 Billy WIlder movies to my Blockbuster list already including the ones you mentioned. Stalag 17, ace in the hole, lost weekend, love in the afternoon...

Anyone seen Body of Lies yet? Can't decide if I should go for that or Nights and Weekends today.

Ace in the Hole's very good and all. He's made some brilliant films.

One of the best directors, ever. Surely?

Body of Lies - Crap

No argument there, Spoons.

My students will be watching Double Indemnity in the next few months, comparing it with The Last Seduction. I'm looking forward to teaching both of them, even if the students hate it!

And just where would you put 'Stacy' in that list of horribleness, Ole?

Let's just say I'm plotting your demise because of your recommendation.

Pretty much....I still haven't seen The Apartment, but every other film I've seen of his has been brilliant.

mehro · 12th October 2008, 22:38

Watch The Apartment. It's awesome.

Alex · 12th October 2008, 23:12

It's decent, not great

Elergy Great perfomanes from Cruz and Kingsley but in the end the whole seems to take itsef a bit to seriously and comes across as trying a bit too hard. Still well worth a watch. 7/10

Spammy · 13th October 2008, 00:35

The Strangers

Odd. Decent in parts but just a bit of a one trick pony that falls into the same traps that so many horrors do, despite trying desperately hard to be different. Suspenseful at times, other times you just want to kill the main characters yourself.

6/10.

I've had it on DVD for years, but haven't gotten around to watch it. Will try and do so in the next couple of days.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington - A very young James Stewart stands alone against a bunch of corrupt senators in this 1939 classic. 8/10

Class film

M160RA · 13th October 2008, 03:45

Son of Rambow - 6/10

Seemed like an alright flick, but couldn't really get into it. I ended up watching the latter half of the film whilst surfing the internet.

mehro · 13th October 2008, 03:45

Spoons, I finally have a spanking brand new kick ass blockbuster list again. Let me know if you're running out of titles to watch.

I enjoyed that one.

Alex · 13th October 2008, 03:46

W was pretty good

R.Nilsson7 · 13th October 2008, 04:07

The Killing Fields - 7/10 - Typical war movie

Alek M · 13th October 2008, 04:31

I thought in Bruges sucked. Slow developing, midgets and coke just did not got me laughing. Stoped at half. What was the spurs joke?

Alek M · 13th October 2008, 04:32

I liked Love in the Time of CHolera 8.5 /10

Baby Mama had few funny moments, but nothing spectacular. 5.5/10

Alex · 13th October 2008, 04:41
