movie time

O Brother is one of those movies we around here will stop and watch, outside of the SciFi genre. The music is good, and large parts of it aren't that far-fetched from how it really was back in MS back in the day.

And City of Lost Children.

I need to watch City of Lost Children again. But Delicatessen and Amelie are both favorites.

I did not know that. I'll have to check that out. Amelie is top 3 for me.

Forgot about Hunt for Red October. I'll always watch that one too.

I cannot watch either Easy Rider or that toast movie. Nor Napoleon Dynamite. I just want to break the TV.

Good, but I prefer the books and the BBC radio plays.

I agree, I laughed out loud at the book, I chuckled at the movie.

Don't we have an Arthur Dent on this board?

What is Delicatessen about? Sorry, when a trailer can't tell me a dang thing about the movie, it's not a good sign. A couple bouncing up and down on a bed (vertical, fully clothed) and other odd stuff at odd times just doesn't look like a movie I'd WANT to watch.
I'm one of those who didn't watch Slumdog. The trailer looked stoopid, and after I heard about the movie for the 4,583rd time in the same day I was over it.

Among other things, it's a post-apocalyptic story of a landlord who starts to feed human meat to his tenants. It's very character based. Worth watching just for the kinda eerie atmosphere and set design, I think.

It's one of those films that makes film students cream their pants. If interesting, unique, and well made films are not your thing, skip it. Not trying to sound like a douche. Some people just prefer hack n slashers or romantic comedies or other less cerebral types of films. Sometimes a movie that is pretty brainless is a welcome departure from reality. While delicatessen is certainly a departure from reality, it's not one that everyone would welcome.

I personally found it to be hilarious, which may worry some.

You guys should watch, "This Means War" with your SO. You will get "brownie points" for watching a chick-flick, and it's pretty entertaining, has a lot of action/physical comedy, and will make you LOL.

I think I need to watch 'Delicatessen'.

My rewatch favorites that I own on DVD:

World's Fastest Indian

Mad Max and The Road Warrior. I own Thunderdome but watched it once, just to be able to say I had.

Alien and Aliens. The other two... meh. I will watch 'Alien vs Predator' if it comes on just because I laugh out loud at some of the stupid stuff in it but I won't go out of my way to find it.

On Any Sunday

LeMans (I will watch the end sequence 4 or 5 times. Now THAT was raw edge movie making).

Grand Prix

Cool Hand Luke

Bullitt

Black Hawk Down

Hurt Locker

Blazing Saddles

Simpsons movie

Dust To Glory

Flight of the Phoenix (original, not the remake)

Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Bogey showed his full range in that one)

Paul (damn that's funny!)

and there's other stuff.
