^^ das boot was a really gr8 movie but for 5 hours it was toooo long ... i wud have gone claustrophobic if the movie continued for any longer ...

Watch the Director's cut...it's 3hr20 min long.
The 5 hour version is intended for tv , so it's not intended for 1 sitting i think!!

Why is everyone here so crazy about clockwork orange .. sure the acting was great by that alex guy but the movie left a lot to be desired on the moral dilemma front ..... i felt the movie was missing something ...!!

Only Crazy people are crazy about A Clockwork Orange who is made by a crazy director (stanley kubrick) and the main character is a crazy guy. The film portrays how crazy the society and politics are in a crazy way. I think you are sane.

Battle Royale(japaneese) - 3/10 .
It's plot synopsis seems interesting

In the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill each other under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act.

. But too much melodrama in between , over the top acting, fake blood , poor script and aweful score made this film a looser. I wonder how did it get 8 on imdb!!!!

^^I like Battle Royale

@Eggman:: yeah the movie was good so was the acting ,, but what i am saying is the end was not as powerful as the movie ,,the movie just whimpered through at the end .. plus the ending of the book was far happier than that of the movie

another of his movie which had a stupid and/or weird ending ..Dr.Strangelove -- cool movie ,, gr8, nay ,superb acting but when it ended abruptly.. i was like WTF !!

and you dont have to be crazy or insane or sane or somebody or nobody to like or dislike a movie ... you just like it or you dont like it ...

Nothing but the Truth - 8/10
Katey FTW

Revolutionary Road - Kate Winslet and Leonardo. Quite a depressing movie. Nice background score. Pace sluggish and lengthy too. Both the performances are very powerful.

 

[eggman]

^^I like Battle Royale

I did not

Can't believe I watched it same day as Das Boot......

Shame on me

Well, for this kinda movies we've "Must not watch" thread

 

[Faun]

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - 5/10

must not watch movie...I just skipped it scene by scene.

 

[Anorion]

^^yep, great documentary. But don't take every fact for granted, do some research on your own too.

Haven't seen it yet.

BTW, anyone seen Sita Sings the Blues?
*www.sitasingstheblues.com/
Its an animation, sometimes using traditional Indian shadow puppets, but definately not for very young children

 

[Faun]

^^yeah seen sita sing the blues, satire and autobiography of Nina Paley. This movie is free to download...

 

[a_medico]

*www.archive.org/details/Sita_Sings_the_Blues

Can be downloaded here (Legally) as its free to download.

The movie has some awesome songs. And a different take on Sita's version of Ramayana. You really need to have open mind watching it.

Nina Paley also uses black humor efficiently, if you dare to laugh.

Gulaal - Awesome movie. Something like Omkara. A deja-vu feel.

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

Nah! Wasn't as bad as I expected but a rather OK'ish film. Worst in the Mummy Trilogy may be, but as a stand alone film it was alright.

 

[Anorion]

Donno which song from Gulal... the song is about Tanaji's anger, with lyrics like "jaise dur des ke tower mein gus jaye aeroplane" and "jaise bisleri ki botal peeke ban gaye gentlemen"
funny stuff... will watch it soon

Would have given Sita sings the blues in the DVD if not for its somewhat adult nature

wouldn't say its a must watch, but the Lake House is a great film. Its not exactly about time travel, but Sandra Bullock and Keeanu Reeves live in the same house but a year apart. Really slow movie, but a great watch at the end of it.

 

[gopi_vbboy]
