avalon27 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 ok hc i will get salo if i can. whats the problem with this movie?
Saxon Hall Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) ok hc i will get salo if i can. whats the problem with this movie? Not a problem as such. It may be a bit much for some people. It is very confronting and there is not much in the way of entertaintment value. Just my opinion of course so each to their own. Edited July 1, 2014 by holdencaulfield2007
soundfan Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 ....that WAS the shortened list! You should try living in my head for a day. ZM. I'll pass thanks. A few more I can think of: Harvey Strangers On A Train Night Of The Hunter The Seventh Seal The 400 Blows 2
ZEN MISTER Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Re "SALO" do some reading first. One of the most confronting and disturbing films ever made. Two more stunners, black and white cinema supreme; "I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG" " THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON" ......both great films, both featuring stunning under water shots. ZM. 2

betty boop Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Rififi (French crime thriller 1955) Le Cercle Rouge ( French crime film 1970) classics !
betty boop Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Define "old"... I'm only 31, so lots of movies could be "old" by my standards, hell, I'd even call Lion King old. So what, at least 20 years old, 30 years? To Kill A Mockingbird, North By Northwest, Cool Hand Luke, the original Star Wars trilogy, The Godfather: Part II (I enjoyed this MUCH more than than Part I), The Silence of the Lambs Seven Samurai north by northwest, vertigo a couple of all time favourites for me
betty boop Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar well if talking bloywood releases... Sholay is probably an all time great ! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073707/

avalon27 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Not a prtoblem as such. It may be a bit much for some people. It is very confronting and there is not much in the way of entertaintment value.

soundfan Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Repulsion and Knife In The Water ( 2 classic Roman Polanski films ) Through A Glass Darkly: Ingmar Bergman Yojimbo ( may have been mentioned already)

betty boop Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 sound of music and mary poppins another couple of classics that are pretty hard to forget even my 6 year old daughter cant stop watching them.
emesbee Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 The Ladykillers I mean the 1955 movie starring Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers, not the more recent Coen brothers remake. While I don't consider this to be my best 'old movie', I do like it a lot (and a number of my preferred choices have already been mentioned by others). I remember first seeing this on TV as a kid, and played the DVD of it again just the other day. An excellent 'black comedy'. Watching the street scenes of London as it was in the 1950's, and the steam trains arriving at the railway station really looks like a bygone age. 10 Rillington Place Made in 1971, starring John Hurt and Richard Attenborough. Tells the story of the Christie murders in London in the years following WWII. Great performances from both John Hurt and Richard Attenborough. 1
Sierra Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) "METROPOLIS" "SOLDIER BLUE" "LITTLE BIG MAN" "THE CONVERSATION" "HAROLD AND MAUDE" "THE HOSPITAL" "THE SERGEANT" "THE CARS THAT ATE PARIS" "THE THIRD MAN" "CRIA CUERVOS" "THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE" "THE NIGHT OF THE SHOOTING STARS" "OVERLORD" "SALO" "KAGEMUSHA" "RAN" "DAYS OF HEAVEN" "THE NAKED PREY" "THE LAST WAVE" "BRAZIL" "GO TELL THE SPARTANS" "THE WILD BUNCH" "BONNIE AND CLYDE" "HUD" "COOL HAND LUKE" "THE MISFITS" "THE LAST PICTURE SHOW" Thats for this weeks viewing, now get cracking. ZM. "The Cars That Ate Paris" ... Man that was a shlock film ... spikey beetle and all ... "Ronan" ... I don't think has been mentioned yet. "Them" ... A 1954 Scifi film about giant irradiated ants in the Mexican desert ... scared the crap out of me when I saw it as a little kid. Edited July 1, 2014 by Sierra
ZEN MISTER Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 "THE CARS THAT ATE PARIS" - low budget, yes, but I don't think it falls into the shlock bin. Firstly, it was a totally original genre film for an Aussie production of the time. Its' story was an update of the historical fact that nefarious gangs used to lure the cargo ships onto the rocks during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and kill the crews, and plunder the goods. The film has a unique visual style, and achieves a great mix of black humour. Perhaps more significantly, without " CARS" there would be no " MAD MAX". George Miller lifted the production design very faithfully. The concept of the " MAX" vehicles is straight from " CARS". ZM.
