Worst excuse for a comedy i have ever seen, it still amazes me how i sat through this snooze fest of a movie
I am very serious in asking this request: Does anybody comprehend the plot of this movie, besides the excellent love scenes between Laura Harring and Naomi Watts this movie is just one beweildering experience.
Ms Ann Thrope said:This one's pretty old (1973!), but one of my favorites: The Day of the Jackal, directed by Fred Zinnemann and based on a novel by Frederick Forsyth. It's the story of how a professional assassin codenamed "Jackal" plots to kill Charles de Gualle, the President of France. Remade in 1997 and called The Jackal -- STEER CLEAR OF THIS ONE! It's utter garbage.
The recent Jackal - with Bruce Willis? I saw it once, a while back, and didn't think it too bad. But I've not seen the original which probably has great influence on opinion.
Anyone up about 2001 A Space Odyssey? I've not fully seen it yet, but hear rave reviews from peers.

Gosford Park was OK, but a waste of Altman's talents. Considering this man gave us Nashville, Short Cuts, MASH, Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean, and others, Gosford Park seems like a simple money-making exercise.
Mulholland Drive was marvelous, imho. I'm not wild about simple, linear narratives. Plot? Maybe there was one I missed, but I never looked for it. I saw more than one possible conclusion that emerged from deeply resonant and atmospheric scenes. I found myself considering the characters' behaviour, and their interaction.
and what happened to the original topic on this thread? you can't ALL be such mainstream moviegoers?
surely SOME of you see independent, small budget films? c'mon guys -- let's name some movies that are a little more obscure than Spielberg's latest propoganda!

yeah, originals are nearly always better:
The Day of the Jackal vs The Jackal
Solaris (by Tarkowski) vs Solaris (with George Clooney)
Insomnia (with Stellan Skarsgård) vs Insomnia (with Al Pacino)

This is something that should only be seen as a flim (vs video) on a large screen. Better never to have viewed it at all than to watch it on a television. It's a masterpiece...

but i'm a cheerleader was funny. it's a farce about the way society views homosexuality.
8 mile was very good, imho. i respect eminem, even if he gets a little extreme on use, every now and again.
the paino was fantastic. i love harvey kietel! and his nudes scenes in this movie were great....compared to bad lieutenant.
