Monks are gay.

Spoonatov · 16th July 2007, 19:45

I've had Mr Vampire in my collection for years. . . still yet to see it.

olesmyhero · 16th July 2007, 21:10

One Million BC(the Raquel Welsh one). Movie itself: 4.5/10. Raquel Welsh in a loincloth: 10/10.

Spoonatov · 16th July 2007, 21:25

recommend me some horror films, ole.

Nope. Anything will do. . . any region, any decade.

To be honest, I've never been a huge fan of horror films. The only ones I ever really watch are Italian Giallos. They're not straight horror films, but they combine horror and mystery. My favorite is Seven Blood Stained Orchids. Try that out for starters.

Spoonatov · 16th July 2007, 21:37

Have you seen Deep Red, by Argento?

No, but it's on my Netflix queue. Got that and The Bird with the Crystal Plumage on the way.

Spoonatov · 16th July 2007, 21:48

The Bird? or The Birds? if it's the lately, I thought it was vastly overrated.

I've seen Suspiria. . .and didn't think much of it.

olesmyhero · 16th July 2007, 21:48

Any genre you don't like spoony?

Spoonatov · 16th July 2007, 21:54

I don't think there's any in particular that I don't like. Sometimes I have an urge to watch a particular genre. . . had a urge to watch horror films a few weeks ago. Lately I've been watching loads of Korean flicks. . .and I've really enjoyed them. Still got JSA to watch, downloading Failan, My Sassy Girl and Visitor Q (japanese) at the moment.

What about yourself?

Still haven't seen Rainy Dog and Ichi the Killer by Miike. Bought them a year ago, I think.

olesmyhero · 16th July 2007, 21:55

Don't care too much for American westerns(though I absolutely love spaghetti ones). Also not a huge fan of horror films. Though I am starting to like the ones from the 60s and 70s from Europe. Outside of that I'll pretty much watch every kind of movie.

Spoonatov · 16th July 2007, 22:00

Yeah, wouldn't call myself a fan of Westerns too. But I do like most of Eastwoods' films in that genre(spaghetti, I presume).

Anymore movies from the Far East that I should check out?

olesmyhero · 16th July 2007, 22:07

I love kung fu films so I'd say: Five Deadly Venoms, Five Fingers of Death, Drunken Master, 36 Chambers of Shaolin, Master of the Flying Guillotine. There's a bunch more. I'd have to go through my notes(yes I keep notes about movies I've seen, sometimes) and let you know other titles. I've also enjoyed almost all of Takeshi Kitano films. Wong Kari Wai films are ace. Don't care too much for Miike's films. They have good parts to them, but ultimately don't live up to the hype in my opinion. Check out Saijun Suzuki's films from the 60s. Good viewing.

Spoonatov · 16th July 2007, 22:16

Takeshi Kitano. I've seen Hana Bi and Zatoichi. Loved them both. Dolls is actually only my to see list. What did you think of it?

It's on my list as well. I'll let you know after I watch it.

Spoonatov · 16th July 2007, 22:20

As for your Kung fu list. Well, we can clearly see which genre influenced the Wu Tang Clan.

Anyway, any films with a similar pacing and storyline to Lost in Translation? (I actually loved LiT)

olesmyhero · 16th July 2007, 22:29

If you're going for the pacing, I'd say many of Antonioni's films share much of the same. Seems like you might have seen most of those though.

Spoonatov · 16th July 2007, 22:34

Don't think I've seen any of his. I'll check through his list.

Do you rate him as a movie maker Spoony?

mehro · 16th July 2007, 22:49

I think Eastwood is pretty good. Unforgiven is still his best work though.

Has anyone seen Freaks?

That the one from the 30s or something like that that has all the well, freaks, in it?

mehro · 16th July 2007, 22:54

Yeah.

Yes

Of his recent works, I liked all three, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby and Flags/Letters, especially for Mystic River which as a movie I didn't rate it highly but was brilliant from a director's standpoint

No, in agreement with Unforgiven being his best work

Visitor Q. Good luck, it's fucked up, I can't stress that enough. Seriously.

Drunken Master, a legendary film. The fight with The King Of Sticks is one of my all time favourite scenes.

Watched Flags Of Our Fathers recently, very disappointing. Still yet to watch Letters from Iwojima which is supposed to be much better.

Spoonatov · 17th July 2007, 15:22

JSA was very enjoyable. However, the acting by the Swiss was awful. Best part of the film was the interaction between the four soldiers. The investigation wasn't really that interesting, I actually think Park could've made this into a masterpiece, if didn't concentrate on the investigation part and just solely focused on the interaction between the soldiers from both sides(which to be fair was the majority of the film). Still, a very good film, nonetheless, and a very accessible one at that.

And Young-ae Lee looked very pretty in this. She was in Lady Vengeance too, she looked completely different in that film.

Only seen Mystic River by him, which I recall enjoying.

Spoonatov · 17th July 2007, 18:08

Right cuntos, recommend me some war films.

I've seen Apocalypse Now, Das Boot, The Deer Hunter, FMJ, The Downfall, Platoon. . . and the terrible Saving fucking Private Ryan, just to name a few.

A couple that I should watch
