Jim's_a_Thai_Fox Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hi, I think of myself as a relatively intelligent chap, and as such, I tend to understand almost all the movies that I watch... However, about 3 months ago I got 'Syriana' on DVD and found it hard to follow. That said, I just re watched it tonight and found i was able to link all the names (a lot of mumbling in that film) and happenings together and thoroughly enjoyed it. I finally 'got it'. Alas, I watched a French movie called 'Hidden' recently and actually surprised to see the end credits start rolling....totally unexpected! Guess I'm not so intelligent after all..? Anyway, are there any films (or books for that matter - Brett Ellis, 'Lunar Park' comes to mind) that you've had to watch/read again in order to 'get it'? Maybe this thread could even help those who still fail to 'get' a movie/book and can be helped out by fellow TVers? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrus Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I always watch Donnie Darko while inebriated, its a different film every time....! Still one of my favourites, even after the tenth or fifteenth, I don't know, its top anyway. Romantic, horror, love story time travelling film.... redrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonc Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 When The Lord of the rings came out I had to watch it at MBK 3 times with 3 different girls. I got 'it' each time. It was painful to sit through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame the leading actor, showing so much potential, ruined it all by doing 'The Day after tomorrow'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmart Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 "An@l Gangbang 3". I've watched it a few times now, and find that its usually best viewed with a left-handed remote control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbusman Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Momento, the movie made backwards. Have seen it about seven times, think I finally got it but never can be too sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momo8 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) If I don't 'get it' the first time then it's not worth the effort. Kmart is "An@l Gangbang 3" same as "Lord of the Ring 3"? Fell asleep in "Lord of the Ring" maybe that's why I didn't get it, dead bore the Tolkein books are better.

garro Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I needed to watch fight club two times. I got it the first time but was so surprised by the ending that I needed to watch it again. Fantastic movie. Since then I have watched it a few more times and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazydiamond Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Recently I just watched "Spiders" by director David Cronenberg, very good as a brain tease. Another name that came into mind is "Mulholland Drive" by David Lynch. At least try to check out comments on RottenTomatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'm not so intelligent after all..? There's another big twist if you watch the credits closely. HINT .. look who the son is talking too. Great film btw ..

libya 115 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) 'Milwaukee, Minnesota' I watched it three times back to back. It is 91 minutes long, won awards at Cannes and is similar to 'Fargo' except ten times better (hard to believe, because Fargo is a great movie. _________________________________ Lunar Park: by B.E.Ellis is an incredible book. I had to re-read some chapters, but one day this work will be accepted as a work of genius. Edited February 16, 2007 by libya 115 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
