Both are the dogs, and the music is ace, esp for Aguirre.

Certainly no holds barred film making. Plenty of times when the actors looked like they were genuinely shitting themselves.

I've only seen Aguirre, Grizzly Man and Little Dieter.

What are Herzog's other must sees?

lordy, where to start.....

Aguirre is my fave, but ou also can't miss:
Even Dwarves Started Small
Fitzcaraldo
Fata Morgana
The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
Nosferatu the Vampyre
Woyzeck
My Best Fiend & Rescue Dawn
 
Episode 5 of The Wire Season 2.

Seriously, Is Ziggy in this throughout? He's really starting to piss me off in that 'shouting at the telly' way.

Otherwise, excellent stuff.
 
Rome, Open City - fantastic, devastating film about the anti-Geman resistance in Rome during WW2, such an achievement considering the Germans had fled Rome two months before filming. The subtitling could have been updated though as it only seemed to translate half of the dialogue.
 
The Sorrow And The Pity. The occupied France documentary. 4 hours of interviews and propaganda newsreels. The aristocratic fascist turned out to be an interesting character and I wondered what caused him to change his views. The German officer is an awful cock and the reactions from him, his son and his wife when the subject of the jews is brought up are very telling.

If they cut out the politics, this would probably be incredible.

Continuing the theme, Army Of Shadows tonight.
 
In Bruges.

Cracking stuff, Ralph Fiennes was quite good, despite doing an obvious (referenced?) Ben Kingsley impression. Didn't expect it to end like that either.
 
Started watching Wyatt Earp on the telly last night...I should have known better really, what with Kevin twatting Costner playing WE. Jesus FUCK it was shite. Gave up after an hour
 
Fringe

Made it as far as episode three and it is really running out of steam already. It is kind of like the X-Files but with no heart or believability even for the most hardened conspiracy theorist (xes) among us. Not 100% and filed under harmless but I do not recommend you buy it until it makes the shelves of Poundland.

It does get better, but it's yet to catch fire.

Watched 10 Things I Hate About You last night, surprisingly better than I remember.
 
An episode, at least I think it was an episode. of "Death Note" followed by some "Ghost in the Shell".

Tbh Mr. QofG's was actually watching them, I was in the same room and pottering/watching. Hence my "Do you know what is going on?" question to Mr QofG's about "Ghost in the Shell" and his "Yeah I think so. Possibly. Not sure" answer
 
dodgy dvd of of Doubt, which was much better than i thought it would be. almost worth seeing it the cinema
 
I thouht it'd just be somethng to satisfy the ex-catholic in me, which I suppose iot did in a way. They're all cunts y'know?

Sadly Mark Kermode spoilt it for me a bit by telling me which one of them was right!!

(yes a priest, and before Vatican 2, oh what a friendly church it was)

Stuck it on last night but fell asleep.
Will give it a bit more time on your advice though.
Guess it was free (((The Fox Broadcasting Company))) so no harm there.

The Mist. Loved it....thought it was great. The ending was well bleak though.....and considering the majority of the cast were unknowns I thought the performances were good.

I have to say that I thought The Mist was awful.
It started out OK but then became laughable quite quickly.
But films are a very personal thing and that's what makes them so great.

We watched RoboCop last night.
I had never watched it before :)o).
I expected that I would really enjoy it as people go on so much about it being a classic 80's film but I was not massively impressed.
I think its possibly because I didn't watch it when I was younger so I don't have the association with it.
It wasn't bad bit I am not in a rush to watch it again.
