I can totally agree with you.

And I'm another Tolkien geek that compared the Fillum with Teh Booke and saw what they did and what they had to Give Up and all...

It was a bitch of a job and they did a bloody GOOD job considered.

Hail Jackson.

IZ.

same here. I would have liked if they had just ignored more parts. for example just not shoot a Tom bombadil scene but don't chainge all the stuff around it. a fan of the books would know what happend and others wouldn't even notice something was missing. (it works in my mind )

-Lotr.
-24hpp
-control
-21 gram
-Pan's labyrinth

Oh yes - Watchmen!
(I bought Mr splinteredthing The Absolute Watchmen book for Xmas!)

The Dark Knight
Control
This Is England
Superbad
Nil By Mouth
Sexy Beast
Snatch

1. Cast Away (with Tom Hanks by Robert Zemekis, USA 2000)

Aye... I couldn't come up with ten because I watch shockingly few movies (keep resolving to change this, but I cannot follow a plot to save myself) but I think that would be number one. At least the first half of it, it runs out of steam a wee bit towards the end.

Off the top off my head the only film I can recall watching over and over again recently is Walk the Line - thought Reece whatserface was spellbinding in it.


I will endeavour to think of 9 other filums

Quite impressing was the Cremaster Cycle by Matthew Barney.

Cremaster 3 (2002) accompanied an exhibition of the artist at the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, together with the other four films of the cycle ...

http://www.cremaster.net/crem3.htm

A few years later followed Drawing Restraint 9 (2006) ...

Furthermore, I really enjoyed this documentary on Jacques Derrida ...

I've seen so many films (that's gonna change now, right ) that it's only natural I forget about most of them...

But these really stuck in my mind and most of them I've seen again & again & again:

The Life Aquatic
Sin City
Lost in Translation
Ghost Dog
Gegen Die Wand
Control
24hr Party People
La Vie Des Autres
Children of Men
Walk The Line

And I very much liked the LotR trilogy too, but I ain't no Tolkien geek

yup. Lost in tranlsation was a good movie i forgot about that.
i would also add Le scaphandre et le papillon ( Diving Bell And the Butterfly).

and LoTR trilogy was a boring, very boring, extremly boring piece of nothing not even cloes good as books. and i'm not gonna mention about Shytrix.

In no order of merit:

The Machinist
Momento
LOTR
Pan's Labyrinth
Grand Torino
Watchmen
Requiem For A Dream
The Dark Knight


Probably a few others, but right now I can't think of them.

Argh - I forgot about The Machinist - damn good film

XKCD agrees with you -- see last panel of this one

Am I the only person that thought Pan's Labyrinth was wank then?

thx.

yes but maybe it is an acquired taste, it does not have the typical storyline, it is dark and it hasn't got any woman in fetishdresses running around.
it does have creatures with eyes on the wrong places but that just is Del Toro

last decade? there was a few good ones like:
- dancer in the dark
- paranoid park
- match point
- there will be blood
and for sure many more i can't remember

How could I have missed The Devils Rejects?

I missed Sin City.

Ozpat wrote:I missed Sin City.

I wish I had

Sin City and Coraline are the only 2 that I can think of right now...

worst fillum of this century and any to come is...

Donnie Drecko!

I think it's possibly the worst fillum I've ever fuckin' seen and that bastard 'Moon" tune by EatB then that bloody blimey heinously awful 'Mad World' cuntup didn't help - Spare me!

Khuntz!

you mean donnie darko? if you think it's the worst, try to watch "southland tales" from the same guy. that's really piece of crap

needles in the eye with a shit snoudtrack?

damn, I seem to be surfing for porn that night!

worst film= city of angels. now that was sacrilege

Can't seem to do a top 10 of the decade so I'm doing my top 10 most watched DVD's this decade... in no particular order.

The Beach
Devil's Rejects
American Psycho
Dead Man's Shoes
Withnail & I
