Shawna Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 "Duel." Oooooooo I get goosebumps just thinking about that flick. Spielberg is, and has always been, the master.
The Seeker Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 I just watched Duel Remind me never to drive on lonely roads
The Seeker Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 Yes I did. It's quite amazing how they managed to keep things interesting and suspenseful for 90 minutes even though there wasn't really a lot happening as such.
Ken Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 We had a car very similar to the one in the movie. Weaver is driving a '71 Plymouth Valiant, our family had a deep green '73. The car I learned to drive in. I still have the Valiant emblem off the side. That damn car was like Jason from the Friday the 13th movies, you couldn't kill that slant-6 engine.
The Seeker Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 After my friend bothered me for days telling me to watch The Fly, I finally gave in. All I can say is
_Laurie_ Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah, that was a freaky movie...I haven't seen it in years, but I remember it was freaky...
MuzikTyme Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 The movie: To Walk With Lions Starring: Richard Harris; was as moving, inspirational and downright gut-wrenching of any that I've seen recently. A solid 8.
Otokichi Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 With "Indiana Jones 4" about to arrive in the theaters, it was time to ride that rollercoaster ride of a movie, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on DVD. I replaced the CRT with a widescreen LCD unit by ViewSonic and took the time to run the video tests on the disk. Still 9/10 after all these years.
Ken Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 "Be kind to parents, and the near kinsman, and to orphans, and to the needy, and to the neighbor who is of kin, and to the neighbor who is a stranger." --The Koran I recently watched the movie "Kandahar". The movie is centered around an Afghan journalist named Nafas who seeks refuge in Canada. She maintains a relationship via letters with her sister, still in Afghanistan. The sister sends a letter to Nafas stating her intent to commit suicide because of the brutal condions imposed on women under the Taliban rule, and has said that this impending suicide would take place just prior to the next solar eclipse, about to happen in a couple of days. Taliban rule forbids women to travel alone so Nafas, wearing the restrictive burqua employs a series of men to get her across the Iran-Afghanistan border. The men only agree out of the desperation for much needed money. It is a deep look into the darkness that is the Afghanistan woman's reality of life. If you are looking for a buoyant film, this is not it. But if you are looking for something truly thought-provoking, and horizon-widening, check it out... Ken.
Ombre Vivante Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 heeheehee Hahaha. That was awersome. I love that movie. Last night, I watched Vertigo. HOLY CRIZNAP! I couldn't believe the movie was from 1957 because of the different camera and photography techniques Hitchcock chose to use. It most definitely is the best Alfred Hitchcock movie I have seen up to this point. I've still yet to see a a bunch of his movies, but it's definitely a hard act to follow - even by modern movie-making standards.
edna Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 Last night, I watched Vertigo Great movie. I watched "Footsteps in the Fog" (a very old film with Stewart Granger and Jean Simmons) on tv the other night as I was falling asleep. Of course, I fell asleep and didn´t watch the ending. I asked my friends and family but nobody saw it or remembers. Anyone here knows what happens in the end?

"Vertigo" is definitely one of the best but I think my favourite Hitchcock film is "North by Northwest"! I recently watched a special showing of "the lady vanishes" and it was very interesting as it is very different to all the later HItchcock I've seen.
Farin Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Posted May 11, 2008 The Ghost and the Darkness good movie, not great or even spectacular, but good 8/10
Shawna Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 Ghost and the Darkness is one of my favorite movies. 1. I like Val Kilmer. 2. It was suspenseful. 3. It was based on actual events. 4. I like Val Kilmer 5. It was a well acted movie. 6. Michael Douglas was good in it, too. There was a ending I didn't see comin'! I've seen that movie probably 4 times, and I'd watch it again in a heartbeat.
Lucky Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 "Vertigo" is definitely one of the best but I think my favourite Hitchcock film is "North by Northwest"! I recently watched a special showing of "the lady vanishes" and it was very interesting as it is very different to all the later HItchcock I've seen. Vertigo & Rear Window are my favorites. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" funny in spots, but not nearly as good as I'd heard .... 6.5/10
Farin Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Posted May 11, 2008 (IJat) Raiders of the Lost Ark 10/10 with the Best. Swordfight. Ever
