2024-11-12 23:18:58 +0000 UTCAn awesome collection of films. Would love to see any of them pop up here. Especially excited to see The Red Shoes. A good way to enter the Michael Powell/Emeric Pressburger rabbit hole.

2024-11-11 19:15:14 +0000 UTCI love this, Ames! "So many movies, so little time" indeed. Such a cool walk through your Criterion Closet! Looking forward to watching these with you! Along with "The Before Trilogy" and "The Philadelphia Story", of course, I'm particularly looking forward to "Rebecca", since I read the book earlier this year and will be fascinated to see how the story is portrayed on film!

2024-11-11 08:17:24 +0000 UTCLOVE LOVE LOVE just about all of these! Especially looking forward to Don't Look Now and Klute (after already doing All The President's Men, we'll just have the excellent The Parallax View to complete Pakula's 70s paranoia trilogy). The Philadelphia Story (Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart & introducing Ames to the incomparable Kate Hepburn!) in an ode to those zany Main Line WASPs of my fair city. Days of Heaven--hopefully you do a watch along and it's just the first of several of Malick's like The Thin Red Line, The New World and The Tree of Life and Badlands, the movie to which True Romance owes so much. LFG!

2024-11-11 01:05:21 +0000 UTCAwwww.. so happy to see you excited for Terrance Malick! Days of Heaven a great addition to any collection. A Director I think you’ll go back to again and again when your craving pure CINEMA on an emotional level with images that few before or since can evoke. In 1989, Sex, Lies and Videotape was a small independent first feature by unknown director Steven Soderbergh ( much like Sophia Coppola did with The Virgin Suicides) that went on to garner all the praise at every film festival it was entered that year and then did the unthinkable and won the Golden Palme over favorite Do the Right Thing (spike wasn’t happy) that year. Speaks for itself and just in case you don’t see Steven’s early genius on display here remember that Jeremy Irons (fresh off his best actor win) was so impressed after seeing it he picked up the phone and told Soderbergh “I’d love to work with you”…there’s also a great book on his experience that he published shortly after with the same title that includes his original screenplay, notes, rewrites and comments that is a MUST HAVE for any aspiring screenwriter…

2024-11-10 21:59:22 +0000 UTCAmes -- I enjoyed this. You have a nice sounding voice. You might consider doing a podcast at some point. You have a good collection going. You duplicated my thoughts on The Breakfast Club (1985). I know I mention my kids a lot, but in about 2013, I had an unplanned watch of TBC w/my kids -- TBC happened to come on the TV while the three of us were sitting in the living room -- I could tell the movie captivated them. I was thinking they might think TBC is dated but they sat there the entire movie and commented afterwards how much they liked TBC. I am a big fan of Dazed and Confused (1993). Linklater did a good job capturing the 70's in that setting in Texas (applicable to other states and Canada) -- I like the soundtrack. I very much liked Linklater's Before Sunrise (1995) -- especially when I was younger -- so does my son who is a Linklater fan. I remember being taken by The Virgin Suicides (1999) but don't remember details -- I am a Sofia Coppola fan (I like her style) -- see, e.g., Lost in Translation (2003) and "Somehwere" (2010) w/Elle Fanning. I like Klute (1971). Jane Fonda (her first Best Actress Oscar) is awesome. Sutherland gives a nuanced performance. Bloody Sunday (2002) is great. I was focused on the politics of the British/IRA conflict back in the 1980s/1990s. The Good Friday Agreement of 1998 (brokered by the Clinton administration) was celebrated. My son loves Parasite (2019). The Philadelphia Story (1940) is on my watchlist.

2024-11-10 21:56:54 +0000 UTCFun! I’m watching it now but want to mention that the title song to Brazil is sung by Kate Bush, and as a MASSIVE Kate Bush fan, I never miss the opportunity to mention it.
