Designer1 Posted July 28, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2010 A few years old now, but well worth the effort... Good shout on Memories of murder Jez, beautifully twisted stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Watched 'Kick Ass' last night. It was safe to say that it wasn't what I expected and it's quite **** up in parts, but I thought it was brilliant. "Alright you c*nts, lets see what you can do" Quality.

johnsonp Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 It was Chindie, I've watched 39 of the 50 now so will likely watch the other 11. I have seen 4 of those 50 films, which is poor by any standards, I think its time to join blockbuster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 28, 2010 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2010 I've seen 11 of that 50 :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 28, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well, since I've never seen either, I'm going to seek out 25th Hour and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind today/tomorrow I think. There a few films on there I have no interest in seeing whatsoever so I doubt I'd complete the 50, but I reckon I've got cause to break the 30 mark.

villa4europe Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Crash is rubbish In the same way that slumdog and hurt locker are now rubbish? ie killed by hype? I hadnt even seen a trailer for crash and only saw it cos i had 2 hrs to kill with nothing else on, i thought it was brilliant, also won best film at the oscars imo in the toughest year i can remember, iirc it beat capote, brokeback, goodnight and goodluck and munich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Ive only saw 10 ofteh 50 which isnt bad. Some of them are not great films like Royal Tenenbaums, Moulin Rouge and Kill Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Tenenbaums is a fantastic movie. One if the best comedy movies ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted July 28, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2010 Tenenbaums is a fantastic movie. One if the best comedy movies ever. Big fan of Wes Anderson, Life Aquatic being one my favourite movies. Opinion on him is very divided though, a friend of mine who shares a very similar taste in movies to me and whose judgment I always respect, cannot stand his movies which is something that baffles me. Personally I love him, you only need to watch a few frames to know it's one of his movies, as he has such a distinct style. I think his character work is utterly mesmerising, his characters convey so much emotion without saying too much and let's face it, If you can make a great movie with Owen Wilson in, you must be doing something right.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I've seen too many movies on that list for it to be healthy. Eternal Sunshine deserves to be top, one of my favourites. Lost in Translation isn't there which is a pity. But it's similar to In The Mood For Love which is far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you make of his (Wes Anderson) animated version of The Fantastic Mr Fox?? I personally really enjoyed it - it was typically quirky and he invented and filled out more characters than the book too. Again, he managed to obtain a good cast too!

Chindie Posted July 28, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2010 25th Hour is an interesting little film. Very good but I can't quite put my finger on why. Upto 22 on the AV Club list. Eternal Sunshine next I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Crash is rubbish I agree completely. I really disliked it, I didnt see it until six months ago and the hype had disappeared to the point where I forgot it even won an oscar. It pisses me off that most of the characters in the film act so irrationally and like utter arseholes just to drive the plot forwards. I want to slap them. Shots of them staring forlornly into the distance through a sepia filter when their whole world comes crashing in doesnt make me stop wanting to slap them either. It's a terrible film.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The other Crash is better. I'm going to watch Island Of Lost Souls now, old school horror ftw. And Bela Lugosi of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The other Crash is better. Especially because it has tits in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed it mate, mostly for the same reasons you did. I tried not to get too bogged down with the book comparisons and the animation style really appealed to me.
