High Fidelity is also a personal favourite of mine. As a secret fan of romantic-comedies I enjoyed finally seeing one that wouldn't make me feel dirty afterwards...

I watched the remake of 'Halloween' at a friends house the other day as we have a tendency to drunkenly watch shitty horror movies after a heavy drinking session. Needless to say, it had me in hysterics throughout. The bit where he's standing at the doorway dressed as a ghost wearing glasses - brilliant.

it's not the last movie i watched but the last movie i liked ... the others i just forgot

it was Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? watching non-stop topnotch movies [as i'm studying them in uni] it's really hard to find one that still amazes me ... that one was stuck in my mind ... just amazing ... can't believe it was Nichols' first movie 10/10

Finally watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night, which I thought was pretty good. Very lengthy, but rewarding. I am glad it didn't get best picture though.

The first time I saw it I was laughing and crying at the same time. My favorite scene is when they are sitting in the waiting room of the hospital and they get the news of the grandpa dying and Dwayne tells (writes) Olive to "Go hug mom". That scene just ripped my heart out.



I watched "The Deer Hunter" last night and it reminded me how much I love that show. That show is a masterpiece. Its long, but still a masterpiece.

If anyone would like a brief overview, it is about the lives of these friends, and how some go fight in the war of Vietnam and when they come back so much is different and so much has changed. The war changed them in so many ways emotionally because of the things they endured together and physical ailments that plauged some. No matter how much they wanted it to be normal like it used to be, it wasn't going to happen.

That is about the best desciption I can give you guys because it is such a complicated and intense show. It will also rip your heart out, I guarantee you. And I absolutly fell in love with Robert De Niro in this film.

The Deer Hunter was incredibly depressing, however it was an incredible movie non the less. Definitely one of my favourite De Niro roles, perhaps better than Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver.

Grosse Point Blank is either my favourite or second favourite Cusack comedy, I really love High Fidelity so it's kind of hard to choose between the two. They both have an amazing supporting cast and excellent soundtracks. It definitely lightened the mood after The Deer Hunter.
I just now noticed this. How weird!

Now your ratings are just getting ridiculous...can we at least get an explanation before you drop a bunch of 5s and 6s for certified masterpieces?

isn't a "masterpiece" just something that people who take themselves way too seriously take way too seriously?

He has an opinion?

Or maybe he realises that foreign cinema is boring and pretentious sh*t.

Plenty of masterpieces are so-so or even a chore to get through. It's all a matter of taste and opinion.
