Revision as of 18:22, 27 April 2011
Favourite movies
It's an incomplete list, of course, but these two definitely stand at the top of it:
- The fiddler on the roof
- Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Yet to be seen
Do you have this feeling sometimes you're for nothing but watching a movie. And realize you have no clue whatsoever which. A movie is like a restaurant, it's not something you should improvise at the last minute. Here I compile a list of movies that remain for us to see.
Movies I want to/should see: (may be with a reason why)
Stroke out are those that I've seen, see below. I add to this list at the bottom.
- movies from the Coen brothers: Raising Arizona, The Hudsucker Proxy, Miller's Crossing, Blood Simple, The Man Who Wasn't There, Barton Fink.
- Given that of the three Coen brothers movies I know, two are among the best I've ever seen (Fargo and the big Lebowski), and the third one (No country for old men) is also a masterpiece, it's only natural to check the other things they've been working on... it might just as well be equally genial.
- Gene Wilder's movies: Young Frankenstein and
The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother.
- Citizen Kane. Classic.
-
L'homme de Rio.
- Some scenes are in Brasilia while it was in construction. The story looks fun (after Hergé's album, l'Oreille cassée).
- Singin' in the Rain. Classic.
- Triumph of the Will. Historic document. Apparently, also a classic.
-
Jésus de Montréal.
- I'm interested in adaptations of the gospels or biblical texts in general in modern settings (see Jour de Feu of Barjavel for a nice one in litterature, that should also have been a movie). Also, I love Quebecers' accent.
- Memorias del Subdesarrollo. On Cuba.
- Les Enfants du Paradis (Children of Paradise). Classic.
- La Règle du Jeu (The Rules of the Game). Classic.
- Ladri di Biciclette (The Bicycle Thief). Classic (Elena however tells me she doesn't like it).
- Seven Samurai. Classic.
- Броненосец Потёмкин (Battleship Potemkin). Classic.
- Plan 9 from Outer Space.
- Supposed to be the worst film ever, so bad it's actually good [1].
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Classic.
- 8½ (Otto e mezzo). Classic.
- Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. Classic.
-
Tokyo story. Classic.
- Searching for Bobby Fischer. About this not-grandmaster who is also a champion of martial art.
- Un roi sans divertissement. From Giono's masterpiece (directed by Giono himself). Music by Brel.
-
L'Année dernière à Marienbad which I didn't hear about until Inception.
-
Serenity, once voted the greatest science fiction film of all time by SFX magazine.
- A Hard Day's Night, a classic, also allegedly very good (featuring the Beatles during the height of Beatlemania).
- Mon oncle Antoine, a French Canadian movie (I love them) that is highly rated .
- Giv'at Halfon Eina Ona, a cult Israelian comedy.
- El callejón de los milagros, famous in Mexico.
- Sexmission, Polish comedy, recommended by Luboš Motl.
- The dead father. I didn't know there was a movie!
-
Cemetery Junction. I am a fan of Ricky Gervais.
