Man, you just mentioned three perfect movies in relation to another perfect movie. How did you learn yo craft?Rififi (1955)
i've already seen Asphalt Jungle and Bob le Flambeur and Cercle Rouge so i mostly knew what to expect. this was solid throughout and the heist scene is probably the best of the bunch. and now i know where Ocean's Eleven got its Clooney/Roberts/Garcia romantic subplot from.
well i suppose i did it by watching a lot of perfect movies. it wasnt easy to slog through some of em but i prevailed in the end. still waiting for a paycheck tho...afternoon delight said:Man, you just mentioned three perfect movies in relation to another perfect movie. How did you learn yo craft?

Will watch Pi soon, will see how that goes. I tend to see them mentioned together quite a bit, same with Primer which I did enjoy a lot.
Nappuccino said:Pi doesn't really have all that much in common with Cube. Its much more a character piece than it is... well, whatever Cube is.

I really liked it. It kept me thinking about my own life as a college student and the types of big life decisions I will start having to make soon throughout the entire film. Now I've seen this and I've seen Juno a few times, so I think I'm going to watch [B]Thank You for Smoking[/B] tomorrow night.[/QUOTE]
Easily the best of the three!

Frontieres is the only one i enjoyed. Ils should be avoided because imo it's a stupid movie, with a stupid script and no scare factor.
I have yet to see Martyrs (torture porn right? in that case, not my style) and La Horde
Have a question for you. How do Le Doulos and Le Deuxième Souffle stand in comparison to Melville's other work and the genre in particular? I love noir and haven't had the time to watch these. It's Melville so I assume it's good, but I want to know if it's Le Samourai/Army of Shadows good.well i suppose i did it by watching a lot of perfect movies. it wasnt easy to slog through some of em but i prevailed in the end. still waiting for a paycheck tho...
Someone else thinks so! Every single person I hear mention this thinks it's terrifying and tense, when I just could not stop wishing for a scene that didn't involve a dark cream-colored room where people make stupid decisions and nothing happens. The last twenty minutes might make up for it.... Until theInside is so-so. Has a great ending scene, but lacks horror (or tension)...

What the fuck did I just watch? The description made it sound like it was a revenge flick... no, it's not. It was really well made with great special effects, and you feel for the main character (who isn't the main character you actually think it is at the start) so i'd still recommend it, but the plot takes an interesting turn that isn't expected. Might be one of those love it or hate it things.

Meliorism said:I'm trying to watch at least 1 "horror" movie a day for the month and here is my list so far:
10/1 A Tale of Two Sisters
10/2 A Nightmare on Elm Street
10/4 Suspiria
10/4 Taxidermia
10/5 Last House on the Left (1972)
10/6 An American Werewolf in London
10/7 The Devil's Backbone
10/8 Eyes Without a Face
10/9 Begotten
10/10 Martyrs
10/12 Lake Mungo
Lake Mungo was the most recently watched for me and I definitely enjoyed it a lot. I think it's one of the After Dark Horrorfest movies that got released with the latest batch of movies, so I was hesitant to see it. Something about a bunch of movies being thrown out together under one label turns me off, but I went ahead and checked it out due to good word of mouth. It was good stuff.

Out of all of the Melville I've seen, Le Doulos is probably my absolute favorite, while Le Deuxieme Souffle is my least favorite. It isn't bad by any means though.swoon said:I know you didn't ask me, but I think Le Doulos is really great. the opening scene is stunningly beautiful. the writing is top notch and the relationship between the two main characters is fascinating.
Le Deuxieme Souffle is OK. not his best work - and certainly not the the best story Joe Giovanni gave us.
I'd recommend Le Doulos and Un Flic if you want to watch more Melville.
You'd also like Le Trou (Becker) Classe tous risques (Sautet) and maybe La Balance (Swaim)

I saw this a couple months ago. Great movie, amazing effects, makeup, costumes. The look of the beast is just perfect. I want a poster of him. Maybe I should just paint himBorgnine said:La Belle Et La Bête: This was nice, total freak out at the end though. Cool effects.

Eye for an Eye - moody-looking Korean action flick.

Salazar said::lol
I am precisely six minutes and fifty four seconds into it. So far - damned good.

Play It Again, Sam: Instant classic. Manhattan, Annie Hall, and this are alike in that they follow Woody Allen in the dating world and you have his unique Jewish, neurotic self with witty funnier, and smarter then anyone else one liners, yet all three are unique on their own with the personification of Bogart in his head in this one, different breaking the 4th wall techniques in Annie Hall, and the gorgeous cinematography of Manhattan.
Crimes and Misdemeanors: I liked this in its own regard but in too many ways it's not a Woody Allen film to me. And I understand the contrast of comedy to tragedy but too much was left unexplained or unexplored in Allen's screen time. The ratio of screen time of Landau's storyline to Allen's was like 60:40 or 70:30. It wasn't even explained why Woody Allen's character stopped sleeping with his wife and I just felt like having Mia Farrow's character end up with the Mash guy at the end was a little cheap. I definitely liked Landau's storyline and thought it was good, compelling film but I watch Woody Allen movies for Woody's relationships, humor, memorable situations, and unique style.
