What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

fiddler · 05-28-2015, 08:28 PM

I just finished watching "Camp X-Ray". Not a bad movie, not exactly the ending I expected. And if it shows you how bad I am with movies it took me two days to finish it..

Well I identified most with the synth player, to be frank.

I'm on a Refn kick b/c I watched the hour long doc his wife made about him during the filming of Only God Forgives. That little film is especially interesting b/c it gets you in the head a depressed egomaniac and shows ya how he approaches both filmmaking and his own domestic life.

I watched Valhalla Rising, Drive, Bronson, and Only God Forgives without knowing anything about him but now that I know I find myself interested in everything he's made.

So yesterday I watched Pusher, and today I watched Pusher II. Loved em both. I'm starting to think that Refn hates women and doesn't realize it.

It's like 9:00 already, but I'm toying with the idea of throwing on Stranger than Paradise.

Cool, I'm a huge Refn fan and saw that pop up on Netflix so I'll give it a view for sure.

Who needs sleep when you have Lurie directed by Jarmusch? I would have gone for Down By Law since you get a bonus with Waits as well.

Oh, yeah, Down by Law is a good one too. I was actually toying with writing an analasys for film class on that one. Good stuff.

Really liked this. Thanks for the recommendation.

I definitely agree with him on that point and I think that Snatch is more well made than LSATSB, but I find the latter to be funnier with the dialogue mostly, even if they are similar in terms of humour styles.

Still, it's very close. I'd say LSATSB is a 9 and Snatch a 9 as well tbh.

I prefer Snatch myself, i saw LSATSB just once and it wasn't bad but Snatch had more memorable characters.

Im very biased towards Snatch mainly cause ive watched it a bunch of times, i can't say the same for LSATSB

Both insanely great movies but Snatch is just a bit more rewarding for me. Ritchie needed to make Lock Stock first in order to get to Snatch though obviously.

That's what it felt like to me too especially considering i watched Snatch first.

It may not be a fair comparison but i view Reservoir dogs and Pulp fiction in this same way, i haven't seen Reservoir dogs cause i saw Pulp fiction first and it's hard for me to appreciate a director's work if i don't see his films in a chronological order.

i mean, i can appreciate the films but if his later work is a better version of those films i don't see the need to go back.
