Those films where you lot dance about in white suits in the middle of huge fields?
While Rebecca was a good movie I thought it missed the Hitchcock factor, mainly because it was adaptation. Also, since I had already read the book I found myself making comparisons which is never good. The guy's character was much better in the book. Still, I enjoyed the movie and would watch it again given the chance. I've yet to see a Hitchcock movie that I haven't enjoyed.
You should take up Bollywood, if you found Rebecca better than Rear.
No, I'd rather watch Requiem of a Dream a million times over. . .and then claim it's a master piece on drug addiction in the middle of a drugs rehab clinic.
I didn't regret watching Rebecca, but I definitely won't be watching it again.
Who said it was a master piece?
It was definitely not shit though. Exaggerated yes, one sided yes but he presents his side in the best way possible.
Ok, which one should I see next
North by Northwest, 39 steps, A man who knew too much, strangers on a train or without a doubt
North by Northwest, 39 steps, A man who knew too much, strangers on a train or without a doubt
It was shit, though. Stick some nice effects in and a totally silly storyline by a director with no idea about the subject he's trying to portray and bingo, the public(generally the people who have had no addiction whatsoever to anything let to alone drugs) will love it. Crash was another, racism for feckwits.
I rated North by Northwest, not too highly though. His best that I've seen
Spoony, can I please recommend this?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338490/
You wouldn't regret it, it doesn't have any songs and shit, plus it's is part-English
Give it a try...

As long as there aren't any silly dances in the middle of rice fields.
AgreedRequiem was good for one story, i.e the pretend druggie's ma's
Crash was awful
Absolutely none of that shit
Those are aimed at the rural masses, and half the urban feckwits, and mehro
Should I find you a link?
We have been over this before....
We will just see how many people have in their top 100
OK. But I'm a bit scared.
I don't think many will. Or I hope not. If you've got it in your top 100, I'll personally walk over to Germany or India or whereever you are at mo, and stab you in the eye with a rusty nail.
By the way, Laura loved Requiem. It's her fav film.
Dare I say anymore?
Dare I say anymore?
You' re all druggies...feck off
Say it isn't so ....:shakeshead:
Yes, no word of a lie.
In fact one of the things that annoyed me about Requiem the most was that all the druggies I knew thought that the movie was extremely cool and they'd watch the scenes where the characters take drugs over and over again.
Strangers on a train it is for tonite...
Mehro, if you have the link for sting or butch cassidy, pm them to me.

That goes for Come and see as well...infact mail me any links you have of movies you recommend.
Come and See will be near impossible to find. I suggest you try to download it using torrents or rent it.
Ok, is it a foreign movie?
Yes
Probably for the good cos I think I've hyped it an all...
Gimme a while, I'll send you a PM in the weekend when I'm arsed. Worse comes I'll upload the darn thing
Crappy, watch the Man Who Would Be king. Not one for the list but a good movie with Sean Connery and Michael Caine.
Got a couple of Zatoichi movies staring me in the face right now. Might have to give them a watch tonight.
Excellent film that should be on the list
Strangers on a Train, another good one from Hitchcock. Not quite on the level of Psycho or Rear but enjoyable none the less.
Hitchcock and Kubrick, best directors ever.
Half right
You haven't even seen Dr. Strangelove if I remember correct. You got to watch his movies Wibble. Consistently brilliant. Watch The Killing and Paths of Glory.
The Third Man. Took me a while to get into it. . .but yeah, I really enjoyed it. Was beautifully shot, then again, it's not hard to make a film look great with Vienna as the backdrop. Lovely Rococo/Baroque architecture, and narrow cobbled backstreet, not unlike Prague. Orsen Welles was a fat fecker, though, one with great on screen presence.

I think Welles' introduction into the film, under the window, is simply brilliant...and it has also one of my all-time favourite endings - having the woman walk towards the camera from that distance, with Joseph Cotten expecting her to stop, and she just blanks him and carries on walking.
Okay, it don't sound much, but in the context of the film, I think its perfection.
Absolutely fantastic movie. At first I thought Welles himself directed, because it looked like something he'd direct.The Third Man. Took me a while to get into it. . .but yeah, I really enjoyed it.

Cinematography was brilliant. Ending was indeed fantastic. Although, one could argue the film was probably more style over substance. I watched Double Indemnity yesterday, brilliant movie. . .very powerful. Polanski was clearly influenced, when he made Chinatown(as were a whole host of the other directors probably). That said, I enjoyed The Third Man more, but this for me was a better film, had the lot really - murder, fraud, femme fatale. . . and great acting by Barbara Stanwyck. Was this the benchmark noir film, Hammer? Funnily enough, both of these films didn't have typical Hollywood endings. . .the same could be argued for Casablanca and all.
