Movies: What makes and impact with you?

[Heffaloop]

By the way, which version of the Professional did you see? I heard from a friend of mine that the American version pales in comparison to the original cut.

Probably the American one cause it was shown on TV ^^;
I should watch the original one then

[Evil Jamie!]

I remember I went and saw Signs with a bunch of girls.
You know that bit at the very beginning? Where Mel wakes up and his noggin pops up on screen?
Yeah?
That scared the crap out of the girls sitting next to me and the all screamed. They didn

Two very big mind movies:

Fear and Loathing in Los Vagas- Damn. That's all I can say.

Waking Life- When you watch it at 3am and you're not sure if you're still awake.

Oh, and Donnie Darko, coz every moment of it seems to blow me away.

[YarpsDat]

Fear and Loathing in Los Vagas- Damn. That's all I can say.

I'm not sure the movie made an impact with me...

but I can sure say it's one of my favourites.
Every single scene is just cool.

The saying goes, "American's won't read subtitles." I really don't mind, but I was a film student so I don't count.

Jean Reno must not mind making the same movie twice. I've seen both Les Visiteurs and The Visitors. Jean Renot and his Stooge are in both movies, and both involve time travel. But apart from that, they are completely different.

King of Television (French) = Ed TV
Insomnia (Norwegian/Swedish?) = Insomnia (with Robin Williams)
La Femme Nikita (French) = Point of No Return
Ringu? (Japanese) = The Ring
Adam Sandler is remaking a Belgian? film Kopps.

Hm, maybe I could add a few more:
Birdcage is a remake of french movie (not naming cause I don't know how to spell french).
So was "lady in red". Or was it lady in purple"?

Did you see other films by Terry Gilliam? I've seen most of it and IMO "Fear and Loathing" is the weakest. The strongest be probably "Brasil".
"Waking life" is one very interesting piece. I can't really say what I think about it, it's so puzzling.

[SamSim]

Pi. It's by the same person as Requiem For A Dream, which I haven't seen.

They both rule. Darren Aronofsky is my favorite director!

The saying goes, "American's won't read subtitles."

I read subtitles; but I have a tendacy to read the subtitles and not watch the movie at the same time...

Oh, yeah; two more interesting scenes:

Pitch Black: At the end of the movie when the captain lady gets killed by the night creatures, and Riddick is left alone going: "Not for me... Not for me!"

Das Boot (The Boat): At the end of the movie, when they have survived all that hell, then they come back to their homeport, thinking they can finally relax; then there is a bomb raid, and they all die. That's ironic.


What's with all these people who were scared by Signs?
I thought the Ring was scarier.
The scariest moment I've seen on TV wasn't even on a horror movie though... I was in Minority Report, when the precog jerks out of the water and grabs John Anderton... that makes me jump out of my chair every time... wierd, huh?

You sure you're not confusing "scared" and "startled" now? =P

Transformers the Movie. I always feel so uplifted when Prime single handedly turns the tide against the Decepticon attack force, then feel sorrow at Primes death.
A masterpiece of its time.

Can I be a guest?

[War]

"No matter the cost!"

Yes, yes you can.

I remember the utter disbelief when Galvatron disintegrates Starscream during his coronation ceremony. I liked Starscream.

And I remember thinking... how can Astrotrain, a regular size robot, turn into a space train capable of holding all the other decepticons...

Did you see other films by Terry Gilliam? I've seen most of it and IMO "Fear and Loathing" is the weakest. The strongest be probably "Brasil".

"Brazil" is great, just like everything Terry Gilliam does, but I don't know if I'd say it's his strongest movie. I mean, I GET what was going on during the climax, but something about it felt a little too sloppy. Like the movie started to meander a little too much, or something. The ending is still wonderful, though.

I'd say "Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas" is his most tightly-knit movie, but you can probably owe that to Hunter S. Thompson's writing, and that doesn't necessarily say it's his best, either.

IMO, "12 Monkeys" is his weakest.


I like "The Adventures of Baron van Munchhausen" quite a bit.

I like "The Adventures of Baron van Munchhausen" quite a bit.

The death guy in that movie scared the fuck out of me when I was little.
Oh, and wasn't it voted one of the worst movies of all time in a poll or something?

By idiots, maybe.


What poll are we talkin' about, anyway? I always thought most people agreed that the worst movie of all time was Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space," although, to those who know, that isn't even Ed Wood's worst movie ("Bride Of The Monster" is MUCH worse).

Personally, I think the worst movie ever made is Bill Rebane's "Monster A-Go-Go." I've seen it 3 times, and I still have no idea what happened in it.

[ZOMBIE USER 18017]

I just saw Big Fish, so it's all I'm thinking about right now. I love the scene in which he appears with a field of daffodils. Yeah, I'm a romantic. Ugh.

I loved the music in LotR and The Pianist. Music's definitely important in a movie.

Benny and Joon also has a great scene; Johnny Depp lets the air out of a balloon and it sounds like a violin playing.
