The Movies I Love Thread

[zero]

Just tell the world if there was or is a movie that you just love......


Right now Terry Gilliam's "Tideland" is on my must see list for everyone.

The Ice Storm.



And then in a totally different direction I'm interested in seeing Matthew Barney's CREMASTER Cycle.

Nice choices people.

And all I can say is that SLC PUNK is pretty much one of the versions of my life that was put up on the big screen. That movie is so true in so many ways it's not even funny.


Anyways, I don't know if I should start a new thread or just add to this one. But I'm going to make a list of movies for you guys to watch to take you through the world of zero-to-one vs. the event theme.

For the Sho' Nuff party.

1st start with Game Of Death...... Reason being it's the last film that Bruce Lee was working on when he died. Second reason..... most of it was finished after he died with stunt doubles... Third reason........ Chuck Norris with an incredible amount of body hair, and Kareem Abul Jabar. Fourthly....... Bruce Leeroy of "The Last Dragon" wears the same yellow track suit that Bruce Lee wore in the Game of Death.
www.amazon.com/Game-Death-Kareem-Abdul-Jabbar/dp/B00005BCKB/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8717048-0298528?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1179855041&sr=1-1

2nd "Old Boy"........ Just watch this flick. A Korean mind twister. You won't be disappointed and I will not give any of the plot away, because it's not your average bang bang beat 'em up type.


www.amazon.com/Oldboy-Min-sik-Choi/dp/B0009S2T0M/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-8717048-0298528?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1179855161&sr=1-1

3rd "City Of Lost Children" Couple of reasons for this. 1) Old Boy ends in the winter, in a snowy field and the City of Lost Children begins in a twisted nightmare on Christmas. 2) It's just a good film, etc. etc. etc.

www.amazon.com/City-Lost-Children-Briac-Barthelemy/dp/B00000K3TS/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8717048-0298528?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1179855265&sr=1-1

4th "Tetsuo : The Iron Man" Japanese experimental film about a guy and him doing things with metal. It will make you go insane ;D

www.amazon.com/Tetsuo-Iron-Special-Kei-Fujiwara/dp/B0009GV9FK/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8717048-0298528?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1179855419&sr=1-1

5th "Faust" ...... Live action.... Claymation....... Stop Motion......... Genius......... It just needs to be played in contrast to the thought of a parochial school. ;D

www.amazon.com/Faust-Petr-Cepek/dp/6305557144/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-8717048-0298528?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1179855535&sr=1-2

And to tie it all together

6th "Enter The Dragon"....... Bruce Lee's last completed movie. He died 1 month before the release of this film. It's also the direct reference of Barry Gordy's "The Last Dragon", and just the title alone gives a sense that things are just beginning.

www.amazon.com/Enter-Dragon-Bruce-Lee/dp/6304981635/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-8717048-0298528?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1179856483&sr=1-2

Have fun

[thediva]

word... The movie about my life was Ghost World. So funny!

[bradbaesic]

City Of The Lost Children is WICKED!!!!!

[zero]

Yes It Is.

Now I need to find out about this Matthew Barney's CREMASTER Cycle that you speak of.

[zero]

Here's the Zero-to-One pick of the week...

Vacuuming Completely Nude In Paradise

www.amazon.com/Vacuuming-Completely-Paradise-Timothy-Spall/dp/B0001Z936Q/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-1656507-9123646?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1180713445&sr=1-1

Make It a double feature and watch Tristram Shandy - A Cock and Bull Story
www.amazon.com/Tristram-Shandy-Cock-Bull-Story/dp/B000EOTFBW/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-1656507-9123646?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1180713935&sr=1-1

Hey Diva you already saw Vacuuming Completely Nude In Paradise. Now you still have to finish Tideland. Muwahhahahahahaha

[zero]

Right now I'm gearing up for the Afro Acid.

If you can find it check out The Harder They Come with Jimmy Cliff

www.amazon.com/Harder-They-Come-Criterion-Collection/dp/1559409061/ref=sr_1_3/105-1479041-2447613?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1181839764&sr=1-3

It's as real as it gets. Great film. Now let us get together and have ourselves a punky reggae party, because to me the roots of punk and reggae are the same.

[thediva]

You can't make me watch the end... I was seriously disturbed for like a week.... FUCK

[zero]

Oh yes I can....... ;D

It really is a beautiful movie. You must finish it.

[thediva]

I am going to suggest 20 cenemeters. It's about a narcoleptic, tranny, prostitute... and it's a musical! It's great. It's all in spanish BTW.

I'm still disturbed by Tidelands... serously!
