Yojima- excellent
Seven Samurai- amazing
The Hidden Fortress- not Kurosawa's best but still good
Izo- it's on my list as well
Chung King Express- I really liked it. You better like the song California Dreaming
Bin Jip(3 Iron)- if it's the one I think it is, it suprised me and actually ended up being a decent movie
Days of Being Wild- Andy Lau and Tony Leung in the same movie, nuff said
Rainy Dog(still haven't gotten around to watching it)- don't think I've seen it
The Quiet Family- haven't seen it

I also recommend:
Running out of Time
Rich and Famous*
The Tragic Hero*
Goodbye Mr. Cool

*2 parter

Yeah, that California Dreaming song was quite good. And that girl was cute as hell.

Spoonatov · 27th July 2007, 15:26

Ha, three that you haven't seen on my list!

Let's not get into comparing lists.

I know. . . but I'll class this as a moral victory.

More of a case that there are 3 films that you haven't seen. . . considering you've seen nearly every film made.

I was being a tad ironic!

You are right on that, and based on your glowing review of it I might not.

Spoonatov · 27th July 2007, 15:42

Different people, different opinions, Ole. Wibble hated. . . but someone else might think it's a masterpiece of sorts.

Wibble · 27th July 2007, 15:43

Probably wise.

It makes The Age Of Sexual Innocence look good. And that is saying something.

mehro · 27th July 2007, 15:45

Spoony, I hope you're watching the match. He he.

Balboa has been banned.

Spoonatov · 27th July 2007, 15:47

Strauss out?

who else?

mehro · 27th July 2007, 15:48

Vaughan.

There's a kid in the Gen who thinks Anchorman's brilliant. Something like 'those pretentious cunts on imbd no nothing'. (even though most of them are actually kids)

mehro · 27th July 2007, 15:51

Has anyone seen Driving to Zigzigland?

Just read some good stuff about it. About a Palestinian cab driver in LA.

You're gonna love it or Torres will score 40 goals in next season.

Wibble · 27th July 2007, 15:54

I would have guessed that Anchorman would have got at least 8/10 on IMDB.

I haven't seen Anchorman because I am sure it will be shit. 5 lines that the txt spk generation can remember and feck all else.

Spoonatov · 27th July 2007, 15:55

I don't there's any chance of El Blanco Heskey scoring 40 goals next season.

That's the thing with imbd. Full of fanboys. . . if they like a film they make sure it gets a high rating. . .and proceed to give brilliant films negative ratings. . .so they can move their favourites up the list. Kids. As for Anchorman. . . only kids like it. It's one of the worst films I can recall watching.

mehro · 27th July 2007, 16:01

Why would anyone want to watch Anchorman?

mehro · 27th July 2007, 17:18

Any of these worth a watch?

Sad Movie
Sympathy for Lady vengenance
3 Extremes
Friend

Lady Vengeance is very good. I loved the whole trilogy.

Cinc's downloaded 3 Extremes, so he'll review it in the next couple of days. Not seen or even heard of the rest. Perhaps, Ole has.

As for Anchorman. . . a few people really loved it, I thought it'd be one of those that just splits viewers. In fact, it was just shit. . .no redeeming qualities whatsover. And I have no idea why Ferrel is so highly rated.

mehro · 27th July 2007, 17:24

Heard a lot about it. But it was a brilliant fake.

Have you seen it?

mehro · 27th July 2007, 17:27

Yeah. Long back. Found it hard to sit through some of the scenes.

I can usually get through these types of films. That said, they killed a lot of animals didn't they?

Sad IMVHO.

mehro · 27th July 2007, 17:31

They killed a big ass turtle. That's all I remember. And I think some of the tribesman ate monkeys. I think they were offered some other meat but they preferred eating the monkeys or maybe that was some other movie.

But no, i don't remember many animals being killed. Some of the scenes are really well shot. There's this one where a woman is dragged by this man, raped and then impaled on a pole. It was so fucking sick that I don't I'll ever forget it.

Anyway, I'm going to watch ichi the killer now. It better be as good as you said it was.

er. . . it's very 2D comic booky. I thought it was brilliant. But expect it to be shit . . hopefully you'll love it.

Miike's a brilliant director, in my opinion. Audition and Visitor Q are must sees too.

mehro · 27th July 2007, 17:35

I saw Audition when you first recommended it. Thought it alright, A Tale was Two Sisters was much better though.

Visitor Q, like I said, is a little too fucked up for me.
