Nature's Minister

Recommended Posts

Here comes the cheesy factor. and prob a question more for the women then men... But did anyone see I AM SAM. Its got Sean Penn... I dunno.. its a cheesy sad/touching movie, and it has like all these Beatles songs in it...

anyhow.. it was a good movie.. but it was one of those movies where u have like a constant tear running down your cheek.. its like i didnt bust out crying at one sad part.. but it was emotional and so the whole movie was sad and touching.. I liked it... whatever.. BYE

Nature's Minister: Have you ever seen Koyaanisqatsi/Powaqqatsi? You should check them out, they're wordless and imageless art films, with music by Philip Glass. Very interesting stuff.

Another question: Have you seen Andrei Rublev by Tarkovsky? Some incredible scenes in there, and some incredibly boring scenes there too. I tried to watch Solaris, but 1: I didn't realize it was almost four hours long and 2: we had already begun drinking heavily when the incredibly long driving scene comes up. It seemed like a very well-made film, though, heh.

1. I've been meaning to, but I haven't had the time lately to watch many movies. A lot of people I know have really enjoyed them.

2: I've seen Rublev. It was a very powerful movie that I found powerfully boring. It just didn't catch me like Solaris did.

Solaris was, for me, the most accessible movie by him. Yeah, the driving sequence was... drawn out, but I was even able to sit through that. At first, I figured he was just being a dick to his audience, but I later learned that the highways were meant to be seen as "futuristic," since the majority of Russians had never before seen something like the highways of Japan. And, besides, any faults that the beginning and middle might have are instantly attoned for by the intensely creepy end sequence.

Have you seen Nostalghia? It's the only other Tarkovsky film I've seen.

Yeah, I forgot Rain Man, too. I love Rain Man! And Caddyshack. And Indiana Jones. And my husband loves Quiet Man. It's definitely his favorite. Especially the line, "Here's a nice stick to beat the lovely lady with." I think he should have been a Neanderthal. He could have dragged me around by my hair. Ha! :unsure: Seriously, it's my favorite John Wayne movie. Never liked old war movies.

There's too many movies. This is harder than the voting threads! :evilcry:

Woody Allen (some of it is crap but I'd always watch a Woody Allen movie)

Mel Brooks

Alfred Hitchcock

Many Bob Hope movies

Marx Brothers

River Runs Through It (this is just a perfect movie to me - it's life and I think Redford's masterpeice)

Pretty Baby (yeah it's a little disturbing subject matter for guys but man this is a gorgeous movie)

Days of Heaven (weird and I hate Richard Gere but he's cast perfectly - a very beautiful film)

Goodfellas (I really liked the totality of it - just a great work but I would say I like Taxi Driver better as a movie)

Saving Private Ryan (I really like this but it's just too disturbing to watch though I saw it three times in the theatre with different people)

Galipolis (I just love the characters in this movie - I had it memorized when I was in highschool!)

Comedies

Silver Streak

Foul Play

See!!!!! How could I forget Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind?!? :blink: And PK, I had such a crush on Roddy McDowell!!! :wub: Even as an ape he was cute! I know, I'm sick. :P He was in a story on an old late night scary movie show. I don't know if it was chiller theatre or another one. Can't remember. It was like The Picture of Dorian Gray. After he kills his father, the picture of their house starts changing to show his father coming out of the grave. Anybody ever see it? :unsure:
