What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[CharlieAddict]

one of the finest movies ever, so badly panned on release Laughton never directed another movie..

really? thats so sad. did you know the actor that played the kid's crim dad was the captain in airplane!

mitchum's character scared the utter crap out of me.

surprisingly it was the best black n' white movie i enjoyed since jimmy stewart flicks.

Finally got round to watching Brokeback Mountain

Excellent. 'Stemming the rose' - gonna try to remember that one

 

[s.norbury]

Fall

terrible for the kids

 

[Orang Utan]

3 Iron - I liked this, despite the absurd premise - not sure what Kim is trying to say about sexual politics, but it's probably dodgy, but the photography is sublime and the acting is great too.

Oh yes. One of my favourite films of all time. I love Kim ki duks sweeter stuff as much as the harsh stuff. I think this is one of his only films that doesn't end with a long shot and has a slightly unbeat feel.

Not too long either.

Have you seen Samaritan girl? I love the awkward car end. Koreas Miike.

Over the past few days, i've seen Napoleon Dynamite and Bamboozled.

Two very different films, but each excellent in its own way.

 

[muser]

Films are great

Is there any chance of borrow these films mentioned on this thread from fellow urbanites who might have them. Most of them I wouldn't have a chance of finding, and it would cost a fortune to buy them.

Here in the US, i'm a member of a film-rental service called Netflix. I pay $18 a month, and i can have three movies at a time. As soon as i'm done with a movie, i send it back to them in a pre-paid envelope that they provide, and they send me the next movie in my queue. I average about 12-15 movies a month, meaning that it costs about $1.25 to $1.50 per rental.

The selection is huge; there's hardly anything that they don't have.

Don't you guys in the UK have a similar service available?

Loads of them are available online and not all of them cost the earth - well some of the foreign ones are cheap but...

Not 300 posts and already asking for my first born. Samaritan Girl cost me about £3 from CD wow. There are loads of places on line for cheap vids.

Complicity.

Didn't have very high hopes as it was such an excellant book, and they were just bound to miss too much out. Which, of course, they did. But it was a damn good version nevertheless., very entertaining.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

got the die hard trilogy for a laugh

right who is this guy and isn't he in every single action movie of the 80's/90's

 

[kyser_soze]

LA Confidential.

Top fillm.

And Shippy...what is IMDB for if not for finding out bad guy extras?

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Al Leong

[ivebeenhigh]

Ferris Buellers Day Off.

Complete with me and my housemate filing in teh dialogue before it happens...

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Al Leong

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Leong

Sweet!

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

still not quite as good as Alan Rickman but then he is the best villan ever

 

[CharlieAddict]

Al Leong

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Leong

yes. he electrocuted mel gibson in lethal weapon and like christ, was resurrected again for number 4.

personally, i thought he played genghis khan better than omar shariff. he's a good find.

 

[purves grundy]

Torremolinos '73

Fuckin good

 

[muser]

A piece of the action and lets do it again. great feel good movies, if you like carribean comdies then this one is for you. Billy Crosby and Sidney Poiter star in it. One of their best lines. Walking into a boxxing exhibition\training session. BCs wife (denise Nichols) says 'look he's knocking out his fellas too' , BC 'no dear, that bootney farnsworth there.' points.

 

[rennie]

I watched Bosta on saturday... it's a funny Lebanese film and a modern take on the problems of Lebanese society after the war.

reccommended altho im not sure it's been released in the UK yet.

 

[rennie]

double post.

 

[ruffneck23]

Mission Impossible 3 , surprisingly watchable rubbish
Hostel : blimey thats a bit harsh innit
V for Vendetta , fell asleep right at the beginning so dont know yet , must try harder tonight

 

[Greebozz]

Dvd I hired from the Library

Kingdom of heaven cartoon baddies, pipsqueak hero, satisfying last 15 minutes

Constantine turned of after 10 minutes laughable crap.

A fill so crap I can't even remember what is was.

After the Sunset makes Bad boys 2 look good.

War of the worlds strangely low Tec aliens that have sensors that can't detect humans scurrying around a basement. Two hours of shouting and screaming, no story.

Guesswho a lame rip of of 'Meet the parents' I do mean lame.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Red Eye - utter fuckin garbage, the night before i watched "Land of the Dead" not the best of the zombie movies for me, not enough character developement but maybe a couple of more viewings and it'll grow on me

 

[maya]

Boys Don't Cry.

 

[AnMarie]

Boys Don't Cry.

Good film but very traumatic


Last night the bf and I watched Cocoon- cheesy, feel good, 80's, sci fi!

 

[foamy]

Enduring Love - wanted to watch it again having read the book.

Mrs Hendeson Presents - really good (and made me cry a little)

In my Fathers Den - amazing

 

[purves grundy]

Scarface

Possibly one of the thickest, most unlikeable gangsters ever portrayed. No wonder all these hippety-hoppity types love him

 

[CharlieAddict]

everything is illuminated -

american tourist travels through the ukraine in search of granparent's village. lush photography, great colours and perfect acting played to a tight story. recommend!!!
