yeah that was a good film...Gary Oldman at his slimyest...

 

and then the 12 y.o. Natalie Portman who is a prepubescent fantasist when asked about her relation to Leon: 'he is my LOVER!'...she brought that one off well...leading to an award for the Black Swan later when she growed up...that one with the sublimely sexy Mila Kunis...

 

Luc Bresson has some good films...the recent Lucy with Scarlett Johansson is worth watching...(anything with Scarlett is worth watching, preferably with 'painted on' action clothing, ooohhh them hips...)

when she growed up..... ?

Fitzcarraldo staring Klaus Kinski is one of my favorites.

A great movie, indeed!  If you haven't done so already, please view Burden of Dreams, the documentary about the making of Fitzcarraldo.  Also, you must view My Best Fiend (yes, "fiend," not "friend") about the always tumultuous relationship  between Kinski and Werner Herzog.

Apocalypse now i believe during Vietnam war, and hells on wheels nice movie.

A movie I would suggest to you would be Hearts of Darkness:  A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, which is the documentary about the making of Apocalypse Now.  Also excellent!

The Big Lebowski anyone? Godfather 1 & 2 are up there. Spartacus over Ben Hur for me. This is Spinal Tap another classic.

The Big Lebowski is my favourite comedy.  The Coens know how to make movies.

Speaking of the Coens, I remember No Country for Old Men, a very interesting flick in which Javier Bardem (the villain from Skyfall) is superb. Also stars Tommy Lee Jones.

  Blood Simple (1984) was the Coens first movie, and still stands up well today.

Interesting. That's a (Werner Herzog) movie I found boring.

 

Ever seen Nosferatu the Vampyre ?

I'm sure I have, but it was so long ago (1979)  I don't remember much about it.

[Khon Kaen Dave]

Yes,Nosferatu.Ive seen it.The producers wanted to call it 'Dracula' but the living relatives of Stoker (i believe it was his wife)still owned the rights to the original book and refused to allow the name (Dracula) to be used. So they simply changed the count's name to 'Count Orloff.Wasnt John Malcowitz in it as the director.I dont recall the name of the actor that played Orloff. Was it Kinsky?I used to have a poster of the movie in my kitchen.

The Titfield Thunderbolt

[Khon Kaen Dave]

Further to my last post regarding the Nosferatu movie.I have to say that i am getting a bit muxed ip here.As i remember it there were 2 movies.One is where the film crew is making a movie o f Dracula,and the producer actually finds a Vampire,living in a cave.Unaware that he actually is a real Vampire the use him to make the movie as original the actor for the part was indisposed.That was Malkovitch. The name of the actor playing the Vampire was 'Max Shrek'

In the second movie,The actor,Bruno Ganz,plays the part of Jonathan Harker it sort of follows the original book where the count sails on the 'ship 'Demiter'to his destination and releases the rats to cause plague through the city.It was a foreign film. I think by the look of it,Holland,or Belgium,somewhere in that region.

Can some one please remind me,because i am beginning to doubt my own memory.If you are a real film buff and know what i am talking about,help me out.

Thanx in advance.

Yep, Klaus Klinsky starred. 

 

He also starred in Aguirre, the Wrath of God.

 

Both are Werner Herzog movies.

Are you confusing Nosferatu with Nosferatu the Vampyre?

 

PS. Here is one of the best scenes ever filmed:

Yup! you are right,the two titles are similar.Thanx for the input.Two great movies.

Werner Hertzog was a great director.

As for the Absinthe scene in Bram Stoker's Dracula.Oldman was brilliant,he portrayed the part so well.even felt sorry for him when that scene was shown.

[Ramen087]

Interesting how we point out excellent films by F.F. Coppola but this film usually flies under the radar and I would like to give a promo for it. "The Conversation" starring Gene Hackman. Made between The Godfather and  TG Part II this is a very well made film and shows how hot FFC's hand was during the 1970's.

 

As for great films, I suggest anything made with the very fine supporting actor John Cazale.

[Tarteso]

Another one!...Orson welles
One of the very best CITIZEN KANE.

And another one ; I am sure not too many people watched, is a master piece: "THE QUIJOTE" by Orson Welles, produced and mounted by Oja kodak and spanish Director, (1992) long time after Orson Welles is dead.

Also starring the great Harrison Ford.

 

Your post is quite important since The Conversation is little known, yet one of the best movies from the 70s.

 

I watched it a few months back, and have kept the torrent. I aim to watch it again soon. The soundtrack (with that piano) is superb:
