MattBlackLamb Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Whether you're into the latest blockbusters or weird arthouse films, this is the place for you So, come one, come all, roll up, roll up, it's the opening night & you're all invited Basically, you can talk about films here, if it's been put onto celluloid & then projected onto a cinema screen you can talk about it here. Any films are up for discussion, so grab your ticket to the hottest premiere in town. For starters I'll tell you some of my favourite films Blazing Saddles: A great film by a brilliantly funny man, cowboy humor at it's best. Young Frankenstein: By the same director as Blazing Saddles (Mel Brooks) this is just as good & should be watched by all The Producers: Mel Brooks' first outing & this has to be one of his best films, set in New York in the 60's about a Broadway producer that wants to make the biggest flop ever. Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels A British comedy about four men who have one week to get £500,000. Comes highly recommended but not good for family viewing. Snatch More London based Brit comedy, this time it's about boxing & diamonds. If you liked Lock Stock, chances are you'll like this. The Original Pink Panther Films Peter Sellers is a fantastically funny man, ho shows it very well in these films with the ineptitude of the hero Inspector Cleuso, a fantastic watching for the family. The Ealing Comedy Series The series consists of four films entitled: Kind Hearts & Coronets, The Man In The White Suit, The Lavendar Hill Mob & The Ladykillers. All featuring Alec Guinness, (most famous for playing Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars), playing a variety of roles. IF you like slow paced black comedy's then this is certainly the series for you. The films are suitable for all but would be more suited to older people with more patience. Right, that's enough from me, it's your turn now. Have fun watching Quote dA Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time. Then she'll leave you & be with men that are ten times better than you can imagine. These men are called musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I will be posting random movie reviews in this thread. I bought my daughter Ratatouille for Christmas. I didn't have high hopes despite the fact that it is in the IMDB Top 250 movies list. But, I found the movie funny and well done. 8/10 from me. 1 Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncfan51 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 India has churned out more movies than any other nation, USA included, with roughly 1,000 new ones every year. But 60% is either boring, stupid, old, unoriginal, or just plain plagiarism. But here are some of the 40% of good ones: 1. Pather Panchali, The best Indian film ever. Created in the '50s by Bengali director Satyajit Roy, the film that got honors from Cannes to the Oscars, it documents the life of the life of a young boy who goes from tragedy to hapiness in Benares. A MUST see. 2. Golmaal, the funniest Indian film ever. 'nuff said. 3.Haqeeqat (sp?). In the early sixtees, with the rupee declining, and having suffered a devestating war with China, the Indian public needed a way to cheer up. It is the classic Indian war movie, and also the first one too. Others have come, but mone have come as remotely successful.

Andrew D Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Probably the best films I've watched are Airplane 1 and 2, and then Ocean's Eleven. the Airplane films have been extremely funny, and I wish I could get them on DVD, seeing as VCR is virtually dead nowadays, along with many cult classics And, as for Ocean's Eleven, it's pretty funny, the plot is good, and it's generally enjoyable to watch. definetely worth those 280 Microsoft Points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattBlackLamb Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 The Sting, now that's a film @ Andrew D The Airplane films are available on DVD, I've seen them in bargain bins & the like so they ain't expensive either. The Oceans films, yeah, they're good, 11 is probably the best, 12 the worst & 13 inbetween all good, but 11 is by far the best.

topezia Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 And here is my short list (for the moment): Mar adentro (The Sea inside) & The Others by Alejandro Amenabar El labirinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) by Guillermo Del Toro 2001 A Space Odyssey , Dr. Strangelove and The Shining by Stanley Kubrick The sixth sense by M.

MattBlackLamb Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 And here is my short list (for the moment):Dr. Strangelove by Stanley Kubrick Yeah, that's a fantastic film, Peter Sellers is a genius Frankstein Jr. by Mel Brooks I think you mean Young Frankenstein & yeah, that's another great film Stardust is a good film & the best part about it is that some of it was filmed in Norwich, about 20 miles from me Quote dA Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time.

topezia Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 MattBlackLamb : Peter Sellers was a genius indeed, I never got bored watching his Pink Panther' series but Stanley Kubrick was a genius of a director! My mistake: that was the italian title, this is an other movie that never stops making me laugh even if watched 100,000 times! An hurray for the great Mel Brooks! Stardust? what is it about? Sci-fi? I think in present panorama Spanish film-makers are leading both in drama , comedy & thriller (thinking of some Amenabar's movies and of course the evergreen Almodovar and many others whose names I do not recall right now :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBlackLamb Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Nope not Sci-Fi, more of a Fantasy story, it's about a star that falls to earth, much more info & it'll give things away. Mel Brooks, I love him, brilliantly funny man Yup, the Pink Panther series are one of my favourites Quote dA Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time.

BoltBait Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'm a big fan of Sci-Fi (as you can probably tell from the list I posted above). I like Star Trek, Star Wars, and everything in between. I thought that Star Trek the Next Generation was just about the best sci-fi TV show ever made. That is, until I found... Firefly. This is soooo much better than anything I've ever seen in a TV series. Prematurely cancelled after 14 episodes (only like 10 were shown on TV--and out of order too). The humor is awesome, the story lines are good, the acting is supurb, the writing... perfect. I hope the future will be like Star Trek TNG, but I have a feeling it will be more like Firefly. I watched the whole series. Then, I watched the movie Serenity. This is a continuation of the TV series Firefly. Awesome. I highly recommend both. But, do yourself a favor and watch the TV series first. It's not necessary, but if you do, you will have a deeper understanding of the characters and their motivations while watching the movie. 10/10 from me. 1 Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 *cough*Doctor Who*cough* :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales.

MiguelPereira Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Nah! "Stargate" FTW now that a Sci-Fi series, I just love it cause with what I know of science from my wannabe mechanical engineering degree the wormhole theory is just amazing and the rest is just so almost scientifically correct. Oh and BoltBait "Fight Club" is the best movie on your list for me Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozo Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 BoltBait: Check out these sci-fi series: Stargate: SG-1 / Stargate: Atlantis (as mentioned by Miguel) Babylon 5 These are triple A-mazing series with great writing, acting and plots. Babyon 5 in particular has simply amazing writing. It's almost like the producer sat down and wrote all five seasons at once, the way the script is unified. Seemingly minor things that happen in season one have a huge impact on, or foreshadow, the things that happen in seasons 4 & 5, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelPereira Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I don't know Babylon 5 is nice but I never sat around to much around it. Another great series, but not sci-fi is That's 70's show :D Soooo funny Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
