Scarlett Johansson is a fantastic farang girl. Just finished watching it. I wouldn't say is a masterpiece though... It was surprisingly good for a Woody Allen movie - maybe because he wasnt in it???

monochaser Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Did anyone mention Patton (best pic 1970)? The new movie Jar Head is OK. Of course never forget Apocalypse and Full Metal Jacket. Someone mentioned 2 Best Picture winner classics, Lawrence of Arabia (64?) and River Kwai(57), both greatness. My memory is slipping, what was the 70s classic with Dustin Hoffman and Steve McQueen? Platoon was a solid best pic winner 1986. I dont remember seeing Mash the movie but is supposed to be solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmadness Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) My memory is slipping, what was the 70s classic with Dustin Hoffman and Steve McQueen? Papillion? I liked Jarhead, thought it was a quality film. Not the usual war film anyway, a full metal jacket for the 21st Century.

tutsiwarrior Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I don't unnerstand you guys...what about Kagemusha, Chushingura and the other japanese classics? choreogrhaphed casts of thousands running over wildly panoramic fields of battle with swords and bows and arrows...it's the real stuff... I also liked Peckinpah's(?) Cross of Iron which was panned by critics but just right...nice to see WW2 germans in sympathetic light, they weren't all nazis... Kubrick's movie with Kirk Douglas also comes to mind 'Paths of Glory'... I sure do like Apocalypse Now but more for the spectacle than anything else...yeah, sure...Kurtz was nuts...a holy idiot that took things to conclusion but there was an imbalance between script and spectacle...visually wonderful but flawed... back in the days of the VN war I knew that I would never take up arms with what I considered to be a colonialist war...nothin' to do with the US but with some jerk off in the White house that decided to finish what the French failed to complete. But I always had a peverse fascination with war...not facing off with the enemy but with the collatoral damage...the 'horror'. I said to friends, it's not about gunfire and heroism...it's about death, destruction and displacement of non-combatants...all generations before us have seen it, are we missing something, is our perspective incomplete by not having seen it ourselves? dunno...like someone said...'you don't have to play the game to know what the rules are...'

dddave Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Flash back to the 'fifties; any Alfred Hitchkock thriller with his tall, cool blondes: "NORTH BY NORTHWEST", "VERTIGO", (Kim Novak, James Stewart) and just released on video after twenty years of legal crapola, the truly great "REAR WINDOW" (Grace Kelly just before she became royalty, Jimmy Stewart and Raymond Burr in his greatest performance) Lady's continue to avoid motel showers because of "PSYCHO", it still defines the genre; add "STRANGERS ON A TRAIN", "THE MAN WHO KNEW TO MUCH" and "TO CATCH A THIEF" and you have a lot of rainy days covered. If you become addicted, there are many more. A couple of un-sung war movies that captured me; "THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS" (Clifton Webb in a true story of well crafted deception) and way way back, "DAWN PATROL" one of the first great air combat films. "THE GREAT EXCAPE" wasn't bad either, sold a lot of motorcycles And; just in case you need to be reminded that war is really not all that much fun; the war film to end all war films: "ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT" OK, sorry; probably a bit tough to find on Sukhumvit. I'll stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
