I saw all the movies you mentioned except for The Cowboys, which I don't think I've ever heard of.

Mandark · « **Reply #5 on:** October 23, 2008, 02:23:27 AM »

The Sweet Smell Of Success: Kinda-noir in New York with an awesome soundtrack. Tony Curtis plays the proto-Ari Gold.

The Asphalt Jungle: One of my absolute favorite noirs.

The Wire: How come you haven't watched the rest?

Breaking Away: Low-key comedy with a sports movie finish and a young Daniel Stern. Mark Hamil was set for the lead, but turned it down cause he was suddenly hot off of Star Wars.

The Goodbye Girl: It's a pretty clever comedy with a really likeable young Richard Dreyfuss.

Casablanca, The African Queen, Key Largo, To Have And Have Not: You ever watch the Bogart canon, outside of The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon?

Cat City: I watched this as a kid and apparently it's a cult hit. Eastern European 2D animation! That's got to have some cachet.

At Last The 1948 Show: Kind of an ur-Python, with John Cleese and Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman.

LA Confidential: When's the last time you watched it? It's so good and should have its own sub-forum here.

Profit: It's available on Netflix! Like right now.

TVC15 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 23, 2008, 02:34:11 AM »

I search for Cat City, and the second result for that search was Sex and the City: The Movie. Lol.

On why I haven't gotten into The Wire: Similar to Mad Men, it requires too much attention to watch. Having a movie that demands attention is okay, but when I'm talking 12+ hours of a television show, it doesn't fly nearly as comfortably. If I am taking the time investment to get into a TV show, I want to be able to comfortably fuck around on the computer or do other things while watching.

Batman: The Movie with Adam West. I'm being sincere. </Biden>

It gets a lot of flack for undermining The Real Batman (which had to be rescued by Frank Miller in the 80's) but that misses the point: it was deliberately campy, and it does a fantastic job at what it's trying to do.

Definitely worth watching. That goes for the rest of you too.

Was Frida a good movie? I love Frida Kahlo (she was on the short list for office art, but I could not find a print of the picture I wanted), but uh, isn't her life story kind of a downer?

Mupepe · « **Reply #17 on:** October 23, 2008, 03:02:13 AM »

I like Frida Kahlo, but I thought Frida was pretty lame.

TVC15 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 23, 2008, 03:04:33 AM »

This is the one I wanted a print of, of course:

It fits my theme of off-putting well.

Mandark · « **Reply #19 on:** October 23, 2008, 03:07:02 AM »

Frida was kind of a standard biopic.

I'm not crazy about biopics, especially about artists (in the general sense). Seems like there's a tendency to shove it down the audience's throat. "She was great! Look, we'll get other characters to talk about how great her work is! Appreciate her, you philistines!"

I saw it in theatres, but that was for Salma. Ya know...

TVC15 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 23, 2008, 03:11:53 AM »

I think The Aviator is the only biopic I really love.

Memories of Murder-is so fucking great. As a confirmed Asian film geek, when I say that this is my favorite Korean movie, that should mean something. Its riotously funny, its thrilling, its heartrending, its an especially involving police procedural film. If Zodiac were funny, and about Korean bush-league cops, and came out a few years prior, it would be this movie.

Did I mention that In Bruges features priests, little boys, drugs, murder and midgets? It's mostly about Irish hitmen bored out of their minds in Belgium though.

And in a bizarre coincidence, that Bosch painting we were talking about last week (The Garden of Earthly Delights)?
