Favorate Movies

Quote from vulture:

Actually, I had never really thought about Woody Allen's audience until RS7 just mentioned it...Had always considered him to be a classic filmmaker, and one who had a strong audience...But then I realized that many of his films do a very low gross to domestic audiences, relatively speaking...I think Allen definitely appeals to an overeducated and urban audience...

As much as I love movies - I think I have only seen one Woody Allen movie, which was his latest one with Helen Hunt. Seems to be inline with your 'overeducated' theory...

PEACE my friend...

Reminds me a lot of this card trick...

Huh? You lost me Trane. Don't understand the reference.

What does this "trick" have to do with anything? (pretty weak trick by the way...all the cards are different....so obvious even I saw that).

:confused:

For the trick to work, the player must stay so attached to the card he/she choses that they totaly miss the obvious fact that they all change. For Usual to 'work' he had to find a way to make the viewer see only what he wanted them to see. It is pretty cool when you watch that movie for the 2nd and 3rd time, because you realize that Synger was showing you the entire time who Keyser was, but because you stayed attached only to what he wanted you to see you missed all the signs. Usual is the ultimate card trick imo...

PEACE

A lot of my favorites already mentioned. Have you ever seen Sir Alec Guiness in "Lavender Hill Mob"? How about some of Mel Brooks movies?

hey Trane...

(Not mentioned yet) & I think one of the all time greatest action/drama movies much less the 1990's is HEAT w/ Deniro & Pacino.

This movie has an unbelievable cast job. THe soundtrack is way out there with the likes of William Orbit & Moby. Michael Manne has an uncanny ability to creat such realism in the plot. That movie has everything down pat from the M.O. of the LAPD to Deniro's crew, etc.

One other great great movie that many people have not seen that is actually very close to the capital marketplace is "Rogue Trader." If you have not seen this, I would highly recommend a trip to Blockbuster. It did very well in Europe, but not here.

I think Gladiator was also well done from a historical perspective.

Somehow my addled brain retained this from March!!

Tonight I saw "HEAT" for the first time. I noticed on the guide that it was coming on cable. And I recalled that you and others had mentioned it in this thread.

Excellent movie, great cast, music, direction....all that stuff you said.

It was very long....almost three hours. But it never dragged.

I still haven't seen "Rogue Trader" though. I will look for it now that I have seen "Heat" and know I can go with your movie calls.

coincidentally, there is someone using that (Rogue Trader) as an ET identity. You would probably think his posts suck though.

Hope you are enjoying the monastery. Vow of silence and the rest of it. Trane with you?

Peace,
:)RS
