bkkmadness Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 An interesting list herehttp://www.cinefile.com.au/home/view.asp?a=10015&s=Forum <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats a useful list, I mentioned a few in my own list. Lot of great films on there and a few I know I need to watch, glad to see they recognised City of Gods, probably one of the best films I've seen in a few years. Trouble with Bangkok is I cannot get the same selction of movies that I could back in London, and even though my local DVD guy has a lot of the more obscure and foreign language ffilms it's still lacking.

kayo Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Agreed and cut´n´pasting from previous posters... City of Gods....absolutely brilliant. Usual Suspects/Seven ........... Rank them together for the effect they´ve had on me. Memento..... Just plain watchable, again and again. The godfather. Apocalypse Now.... the horror... Oh, The horror... Dazed and Confused. The Breakfast Club. Friday............ I love you Mary'Jane. Tree`s Lounge....... I love you, Pub life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmadness Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 The breakfast club is a great film and I believe on UBC this month. , I liked all those old school 80s films especially St Elmos Fire. Dazed and Confused another underated film, got a lot of stars in it that made it big later. I bought Se7en on original DVD the other day for 99 baht, its been a while since I first watched it and still an amazing film, usual suspects was good first couple of watches but not a great fan.

Insight Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I agree to bkkmadness 101%... but i dont want any LOTR Vs Matrix/StarWars Flame war... lol.. I saw all the 3 parts together at a strech in DVD for a second time to see why I didnt liked that movie... I just love some vfx shots there.. but there was nothing new in that... story was very plain, no depth and not inspiring in anyways...It never made me think a little bit about anything from that movie other than why on earth all people are crazy abt LOTR... I think kids pulled their parents to cinema'sa and make it a box office hit... Star Wars was original. I loved Tim Burtons Big Fish and Edwards Scissorhand than LOTR....lol.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hold it Scamp, hold it... In no particular order, and probably missing a tonne of others: Goodfellas (how the ... am I funny to you?) Gladiator Godfather II Get Shorty (look at me) Boogie Nights (with his ka-ra-te) The Shawshank Redemption Se7en Anything by Pixar, with the Incredibles at #1 Fight Club One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest I've also got the complete Cracker series and sometimes stick an episode of that on to pass an evening away - great stuff... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
