Not entirely convinced by Le Orme, but I'm glad I watched it. My very first Giallo Sci-fi, for want of a better term.Talking of Le Orme, Reds was also shot by Storaro, which is one the main reasons I want to watch it, apart from the subject matter of course.
I do admire you for listing Point Break
Certainly can't think of another WWII film that could come close to it. The subject matter is so difficult to pull off but it does it somehow. By leaving most of the horror til the end I guess. Maybe 'The Human Condition' is up there too, but that's more in the epic mold than 'Come and See'.thoughts skimming last couple pages
-Come and See was about last cut from my list (other near misses: The Sting and Miller's Crossing. also Heathers
pee wees big adventure
I wonder about the psychocultural implications of 'listmaking' in this form and what it says about the heirarchy-engendering tendency in aesthetic appreciation. Is there something reactionary about making a list and only prizing those finest. What kind of selection process does one construct when looking at them?
Would be good to get some thoughts from people about why they chose what they did.
Lol brilliant. Remember going to the pictures to see this. Was dismayed when it's star was arrested for wanking in a cinema.
