Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

[kid charlemagne]

a version classic... personally one for my history books, i love a film that seems to take place only after midnight, excpet for maybe 5 percent of it.

 

[version]

the weight he attached to his psychic too

I liked that, the hint of mystery, another layer to the events of the story.

I did too, his recurring questions to her about whether he still has luck on his side. A more honest and sympathetic way of dealing with his character as a coke dealer with a midlife career crisis than making it his responsibility to learn a trade or something. An acknowledgment that there are larger more impersonal forces at work

 

[version]

The actress playing the psychic is Paul Schrader's wife.

 

[dilbert1]

Her haircut was fucked lol

 

[version]

David Spade cameo

 

[dilbert1]

Now they call them “Hegelian e-girls”

 

[Clinamenic]

Now they call them “Hegelian e-girls”

This made me spit laughing when I scrolled down and read it.

 

[Corpsey]

Police Story
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Point Break

"Late Spring", 6 out of 5, GOATed no cap

I never could have imagined that Jack would be so moved by the marital prospects of a young Japanese woman.

 

[Corpsey]

I won't unreservedly recommend it but I watched "Drunken Angel" last night. It's quite good cos Mifune has the GOAT face, especially when he dances like a panther to a jazz song about the jungle, and I also quite enjoyed the alcoholic doctor being an absolute cunt except for the saving people from TB thing.

This is how I imagine Luka danced in his clubbing days down the Stratford rex

I watched about half of "Journey To Italy" last night, going to finish it off tonight I suppose. But is "Roman Holiday" better @craner ?

 

[Corpsey]

Watching Drunken Angel made me want to rewatch/watch more Kurosawas

to watch: Stray Dog, High and Low, The Hidden Fortress, Yojimbo

to rewatch: Seven Samurai

 

[version]

Yojimbo

Sanjuro's worth watching too, even though it was a bit of a cash in.

 

[Corpsey]

I was looking up point break scenes to post here and I realised there's too many classic scenes to pick one

It makes me think of starting a thread about the best screen faces ever, including Keanu, cos he's got a great face, albeit one of the worst actors around

Journey to Italy is an appalling film, Roman Holiday is far superior.

Are you not going to bother with The Bad Sleep Well or Red Beard?

 

[Corpsey]

If you recommend them I'll watch them (if they're on BFI player)
