I saw 'All About My Mother' by Pedro Almodovor, which I though was class. I quite like Spanish Cinema though. That said, I've probably seen less than 20 Spanish films.

 

La Cabina is the best horror film of all time ever in the history of the Universe ever. And it's less than an hour long. Anyone else seen it?

Just looking through IMDB for the most popular film I haven't seen. I did watch The Elephant Man when I was about 10 but would struggle to offer an opinion now.

 

The most popular one I have never seen is High Noon.

All well worth seeing (except for McVicar which might be but I've never heard of it). I've got a huge pile of unwatched shitty DVDs courtesy of the Saturday Times.

When the Saturday Times does a dvd it's usually a classic tbf. In The Mood For Love, Donnie Darko, Metropolis, Don't Look Now, Rebecca and Notorious are just a few of the ones I got from there.

 

The Express, Mail, NOTW etc all peddle absoloute tripe.

In Leazes Mag style copy and paste job.

 

This is the incredible true story of John McVicar - a man who took on the entire prison system and refused to surrender. Roger Daltrey gives a powerful performance as McVicar in a film that is shocking, brutal and full of gritty violent realism. The film strongly depicts the brutal aspects of British prison life and follows McVicar into his eventual rehabilitation.

As others have said, many of these classic films like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Godfather etc ive never seen. Not really that arsed either, ive not got the attention span to sit through a long, intense film.

Grease.

 

:D

 

Now there's a fantastic example of a film that I've seen, but I really wish I hadn't.

 

Apalling

 

I just think its crap, crap songs, boring boring boring film which celebrates 1950s America. Yeah racial segregation and witchhunts - wonderful.

Do you like Goodfellas?

 

Aye but its not really celebrating 50s American culture though is it and only the start is set in the 50s anyway.

No, it's glamourising the Mafia though. Not that I'm arsed, I still like it. I just think it's a bit odd if you think a film like that is ok then think a nostalgic musical is bad quoting some of the events of the era it's set in as an example. :icon_lol:

Do you think cars really explode like they do in the movies? :icon_lol: (you can't even light a petrol trail with a cigarette in RL :rolleyes: )

 

Or that you can cut an arrow out of the air with a sword (on purpose anyway)?

 

Or that Tom Cruise isn't actually 2' 3" tall? :rolleyes:

Best musical ever. Channel 4 FACT!

 

I haven't seen any films by Fassbinder, Bunuel, Harold Lloyd, Almodovor or Renoir.

Very few by Ozu, Truffaut, Fellini, Wenders, Godard, Bergman, Ford, Eisenstein, Griffiths or Lean.

And not all by Hitchcock, Speilberg, Welles, Wilder, Kurosawa, Huston, Kubrick, Herzog or Scorcese.

 

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

It is, but he's much more well known as the obssessive media studies student in Dawson's Creek.

 

He get's to shag some nice girls mind, despite being dull as ditch water.

Apparently he was interviewed by Dermot O'Leary and he described his acting style as a cross between James Dean and Marlon Brando :lol:
