I wasn't suggesting you wouldn't watch them snoopcester Send a noteboard - 01/09/2010 04:38:57 PM
I like watching "not Jen movies" occasionally. That's how I know what really gets to me. I just need a day or two to recover.


This is what I was thinking of - that a few of them will get to you, one way or another, and you might need recovery time afterwards

Empire's 100 Best Films of World Cinema Legolas - 31/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 1616 Views
As for my quibbles with the list... Legolas - 31/08/2010 03:01:43 PM 999 Views
Since it's "World Cinema," does that automatically exclude U.S. films? *NM* Palatine - 31/08/2010 05:51:00 PM 471 Views
It usually means non-English language films *NM* snoopcester - 31/08/2010 06:36:34 PM 447 Views
Not only that, it also seems to exclude British, Australian and other English-language ones. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:19 PM 864 Views
No one minds Australia's exclusion. All they make is bad Jackie Chan films. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/08/2010 10:55:18 PM 348 Views

Hey I've only seen 21 ironclad - 31/08/2010 03:40:54 PM 921 Views
My opinion of their list rose by a fair bit when I saw La vita รจ bella was not on it. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:56:15 PM 903 Views
What exactly is Battle Royale doing there? Lordling - 31/08/2010 04:07:46 PM 1004 Views
Juno is Canadian-American though. ironclad - 31/08/2010 07:40:20 PM 893 Views
I'm quite surprised to see that La Vita e bella (Life is Beautiful) isn't on the list. *NM* Missa Sedai - 31/08/2010 04:51:53 PM 624 Views
Me too. Pleasantly surprised. *NM* Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:47 PM 460 Views
Really? I thought the movie was fantastic and well-made. *NM* Missa Sedai - 01/09/2010 12:36:05 AM 468 Views
In fairness, Roberto Benigni being an overrated ass doesn't mean his only good film isn't good. Legolas - 01/09/2010 01:01:21 AM 937 Views

I've seen one Haneke movie (La Pianiste), and I've decided I'm going to keep it that way. Legolas - 01/09/2010 04:08:55 PM 871 Views
