The movie that impressed yout the most!

For high camp, you can't beat "Buckaroo Banzai"
"The 5th Element" and "Fargo."

Yes to ALIEN but I never could get the popularity of 2001 Space Odyssey. What the heck did I miss about it?

2001 was a daring film for its time. As Kevin mentioned in a previous post, to make that calibre of film using 1960s motion picture technology, was mind-blowing
in itself. We can't debate the creation / evolution aspects in this forum but they added to the film's element of risk. I like the movie for its beauty and elegance. I'm not sure I understand it. Probably only Kubrick does.

That's probably why it didn't appeal. I was non-plus see. ??!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Rotten Apple won't let me write what I want to. Have tried 4 times so far. Talk about Big Brother. I will try creeping up on him...:

I was... NON-PLUSSED.

Ha! That'll show him. :-)
Anyway, being completely (that) doesn't make a film enjoyable for me. And all that clinical whiteness felt alien & ..? Can't pin point the word I want.

We watched the 3rd Bourne in the trilogy last evening. Wow, had forgotten how F.A.S.T everything goes. The chases, both on foot & in cars & the fights, go at quick-silver speed. Exciting doesn't come anywhere near it.

The Trap.
Forgotten that one. Especially the opening scenes of him going down the river to that great music. Wonder if it's now available on DVD-it hasn't been before.

Try nonplussed. RT may be more forgiving next time. ;)

Thanks, what a good idea! Strange, I don't usually have a problem with spelling. But I'm not forgiving apple for being so ferociously bossy.

"Perfume: The Story of a Murderer" impressed me most.

I liked the hangover and clif hanger as well.

PLANET OF THE APES (the original with Heston) is still very watchable. I pop it into the DVD machine once a year. The end scene on the beach still gives me a little shiver, it's that powerful.

If you've never read Pierre Boulle's novel (1963) that inspired the screenplay, it's worth a trip to the Library or book store.

Shamefully, never seen that nor read the book. When it first came out, got the wrong impression that it was a blood & guts, poor sci-fi film, but obviously that's wrong as it's been highly rated for ages. Will try & make amends.

Yesterday watched "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" for the first time. Though very violent, & in Swedish, not Danish, thought it was excellent. It kept us closely focused for the whole 3 hours or so, which we wouldn't with many films (Yawn, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!) We've now bought the trio of ebooks so will see what the fuss about this author was all about.
