I liked U-Turn more.

I haven't seen that yet. I tend to like old Oliver's stuff...so I'll probably enjoy it.

They talk about it with all their friends and how they can make a better film, all the while they're writing a film about 4 college buddies, that come out to "Hollywood" to write a movie about 4 college buddies making it big in Hollywood. Losers.

ROFL.. it's so true.. and it's not like it's big news.. it's been regarded that way for quite some time now.. it's not extra special knowledge that has to be passed on....

deluxe · 01-30-2002, 08:04 AM

Here is my top 5 (recent movies)

1. Snatch
2. Fight Club
3. Memento
4. Oceans Eleven
5. The Score

(runner ups: blade, american beauty, matrix)

Jakke PNG · 01-30-2002, 08:57 AM

Ok. Now you've given your point on movies, what about actors and actresses? Why? I give you a list (again)

1. Jack Nicholson - Because he can play any crazy man, he's great. Cocoos nest, shining ahh...

2. Kevin Spacey - He's just so good. Calm.

3. Bruce Willis - He allways has the 'hangover' look with 2 days old stubble. Can't beat it. He looks exactly how I feel.

4. Jim Carrey - Rubberfaced man, excellent. He makes movies you want to look at when you're bored.

Mike Myers is the same.

5. Sean Connery - Love the accent

I have a deja vu. Did this topic already exist somewhere?

FreeNetPass Steve · 01-30-2002, 09:12 AM

Fight Club was a great movie.

My favorites include:
Fight Club
Good Fellas
Casino
Pulp Fiction
Driven
Fast and the Furious
Army of Darkness
Meet the Parents
The Boiler Room
Starship Troopers

Great male actors:
Edward Norton
Kevin Spacey
Sean Conery
Samuel L. Jackson
John Cusack
Jackie Chan - haha! Just kidding on that one!

Great female actors (or actresses):
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Mira Sorvino
Sandra Bullock
Cheyenne Silver

By the way, I just saw "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist" It was funny at first, but in the middle I was thinking "God! When will this end!" because it started to suck. Even though I had mixed feelings on this film it has had an impact on my life because I can't stop quoting it "Ooooweeeeeewoooooweeeeeeewooooooo"!

AbeFroman · 01-30-2002, 09:22 AM

Recent Movies:
1. The Matrix
2. Fight Club
3. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

All time:
1. The Godfather
2. The Matrix
3. Fight Club
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Let it Ride
6. A League of Their Own
7. Shawshank Redemption
8. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
9. People vs. Larry Flynt
10. Better of Dead

As far as everyone elses taste. I thought The Game was average. Vanilla Sky was better. I loved Snatch it didn't top Fight Club. Fight Club was about deep and twisted shit. It made you think. Snatch was about what everything else is about: crime and violence. I cant believe Hackers, Cruel Intentions, Gattica and Mr. Ripley was mentioned here. Especially Hackers. That was the worst fucking movie.

theWatsonian · 01-30-2002, 11:25 AM

Yes, Redshoe, you are getting carried away.

The problem is that you work in the field and you have to take the abuse, put up with the show and suffer the fools for your livelihood. I have friends in the biz (including an animation teacher at the mouse company) and have had to listen to them vent.

But I do think Citizen Kane is right up there as one of the best films ever made. Based on William Randolph Hearst and controversial in its day. I own Citizen Kane in several versions, including the 50th anniversay edition, don't know how many times I've seen it. But I'm an Orson Welles fan and even watched It's All True when I had the chance.
I think one of the best movies ever made was another Welles classic (panned in its day), Touch of Evil. Still, it's not a widely popular genre so it may never get the respect it deserves.

A tremendous amount of notable films were made pre-1950. Distinguishing the truly great works from the films that first introduced a technology, method or style is a very difficult task and the best we can do is offer our opinions.

In my opinion, more people should see Visions of Light to better understand the art of cinematography. It's a good place to start for the casual movie lover and unfortunately too many film students have not seen it.

DarkJedi · 01-30-2002, 12:00 PM

well, we all know that the best movie of all times is Star Wars, right ?

PersonasNonGrata · 01-30-2002, 02:15 PM

Sorry Redshoe if you misunderstood my post, or maybe you did understand and it?s easier too label me as a film school wannabe so you don?t have to take into account my point of view. But realize I could just as easily label you as some film maker wannabe who has probably little experience in the field other then 3rd Gaphers Assistant on the set of Clueless. But I won?t.

There is little denying that Citizen Kane changed the face of cinema. I would much rather sit down and watch a film like Fight Club but I also realize that David Fincher, Steven Spielberg, and Sam Mendes would not be making movies like Fight Club, Schindler's List, and American Beauty had Orson Wells not made Citizen Kane when he did. That?s why I think it was the movie of the century. Purely because of the impact it had and the impact it will forever have on film.

But on another note, since there do seem to be some film lovers here, has anyone seen a movie called Wonder Boys? It came out recently and I thought it was great but have never heard anyone else say anything about it. It stared Michael Douglas, Katie Holmes, Tobey Maguire, Francis McDormond, Robert Downey Jr., and a few others I can't recall at the time. Anyway if you haven?t seen it I would suggest renting it, if you have what were your thoughts on it?

bhutocracy · 01-30-2002, 03:02 PM

wonder boys was good.. i personally wouldn't rave about it, but it was good.. tobey maguire and michael douglas are a somewhat strange pairing but it really works.. tobey's getting some choice roles at the moment..

Let's not forget another man who has had a rather large impact on Hollywood but has not been mentioned here.

The king of the b movie, Roger Corman.

This is the man who brought us Jack Nicholson, Robert Deniro, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Robert Towne Bruce Dern, Peter Bogdanovich, Jonathan Demme, Ron Howard, John Sayles, Gale Anne Hurd and James Cameron the list goes on.
These people might have made it in the biz but it was Corman who gave them their career starts and set them on their way.

The guy was a fucking genius. Who else would go and buy a japanese film dub it in english shoot some scenes with Raymond Burr in an office talking into a microphone and edit that in release it in the United States and create a pop culture icon....that was fucking GODZILLA...and let's not forget Night Of The Living Dead.

Sure Welles probably inspired even Corman to be an independent film maker but who inspired Welles' independence?
Possibly such people as Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and Charlie Chaplin who had the balls to form their own studio United Artists in order to have creative control over their own films.

I would just like to add another film to the list here which I believe is really inspirational.
The movie is about a guy who is a complete fuck up but had the balls to not only have a vision but to actively pursue the succes of that vision.

The movie...ED WOOD.

Rocky · 01-30-2002, 04:06 PM

any film by John Waters

theWatsonian · 01-30-2002, 05:15 PM

Ed D. Wood Jr. is my hero.
Wood did what he loved any way he could. He may have died a penniless drunk but he was more of a success than he could have ever imagined.
There a so many great directors that I cannot list them all. This site lists them better than I could.
Though I think most of our current directors wouldn't be in the biz if they weren't inspired by the likes of Cecil B. Demille and Frank Cappra.

neuromute · 01-30-2002, 06:50 PM

I am Jack's Winter of discontent....

Fight Club rocks -- one of the few movies that actually may exceed the book (y'all did read the book, right?)

Snatch was OK, but it was Mr. Madonna's sophomore slump IMHO -- Lock Stock kicked so much more ass.

My faves (no particular order):

Casablanca
Citizen Kane (yes I've seen it, and own it)
When Harry Met Sally
American Beauty
Pulp Fiction
Fletch
Out of Sight
Fight Club
Caddyshack

If you are wondering how I can put Casablanca and Caddyshack on the same list, then you just don't understand....

neuromute · 01-30-2002, 06:54 PM

Oh yeah... and Magnolia. One of those movies that truly half of the people hate, and the other half love....

-=HOAX=- · 01-30-2002, 06:58 PM

The original drunken master! With the young jackie chan and that old fart Samseed!

Office Space is a great fucking movie.

It's another one of those movies I rank with Ed Wood quite strangely enough.

Like Ed Wood was about a guy achieving his dreams, Office Space was about putting it all into perspective...what is actually important.

And I love the soundtrack funny as shit watching white collar workers dancing to gangster rap. The gangster jump in scene with the printer is fucking hilarious.
I would have to say Office Space is an all time guilty pleasure...if it is on I'm watching it

that was the movie that John Hinkley saw Jodi Foster in, fell in love with her, and tried to assassinate Reagan for her.

Nope, not a gaffer. I'm a special effects makeup artist. Well, at least I used to be. Just before the fx industry took a big dump on all of us. Now, when we get shows, I coordinate and supervise the shows. Inbetween shows, I waste all day on GFY.

We just recently did, Matrix 2 & 3, Master Of Disguise, Adaptation, and will be doing some work for the Hulk movie.

I did see Wonder Boys, but I don't remember liking it all that much. I guess I 'd have to see it again.

I've heard mixed things about the next two Matrix movies, how did they look too you? Any new special effects techniques that people will rant and rave about being revolutionary but will only get used in spoofs and by some live broadcast idiots in a huge waste of money and energy at the Super Bowl?

I'm not able to discuss what we did for the movie. I can only say that we did some effects. Most major films, especially if there is a lot of hype involved, make you sign waivers. But I'm sure you know that.

As far as any new revolutionary new techniques... I couldn't tell you brother. There are a ton of fx places in town, I have no way of knowing what each one is doing at any given time. Super Bowl commercials are usually big business for us. People are ususlly hush hush, about what they are working on anyway. At least in fx.

This year they are a bit slow on our end. If you go to some the lower quality studios like Lazzarini's shop. They are busy on a few of the super bowl commercials. But that's because they usually hack shit out, (badly I might add). I heard that guy crys his ass off because of the money he's losing. Good. Fuck him. If you knew him you'd say the same thing. LOL
