If you have Netflix all of those except for Master of the Flying Guillotine and probably the Warriors Two + Snake in Eagle's Shadow should be on there.


....and cuz they're pretty close to the same genre 13 Assassins is pretty awesome. For the first half of the movie nothing particularly interesting happens aside from the bad guy killing and raping a bunch of people to show how evil he is while the 13 prepare a village for an ambush on him and TWO HUNDRED of his men...and the 2nd half is one continuous fight scene of the 13 fighting the 200. It lasts for over an hour. Holy fucking shit.



The Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale is a hellishly long (complete version = 4 hours. Cut version = 2.5) movie produced by John Woo (!!!!) about indigenous Taiwanese tribesmen fighting against the occupying Japanese. To date I've still never seen more graphic decapitations in any other movie.



Red Cliff is another movie produced by John Woo of similar length to the above in both the complete and cut versions that's about the Three Kingdoms period in China (Wei, Wu, and Shu). If you're not a history buff you may recognize it better as 'it's about those guys from Dynasty Warriors'

dude, Netflix is ok, but, my Canadian flix is gay and probably won't have it. (and i don't wanna do the IP switch because i'm tech illiterate, and i'll probably just frustrate me)

but i will DL em at some point. this is gonna be my main stockade of to-watch-films so when i'm in the mood for some new Martial Art movies (i've seen the classics but not these newer ones :yesnod:) i'll be checkin' em out. they all look and sound dope.

Glad to hear the excessive lengths of time I've spent watching kung fu movies have gone to good use. I apparently got Tito (The Phleg/Pyrate999) to start having kung fu related dreams recently after forcing him to watch Dragon despite him admitting that kung fu movies usually don't do it for him.

Don't Look Now
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_Look_Now

really, this movie is NOT scary. by today's standards, this is MILD at the MOST. but... BUT... if you can take the deliberate pacing... this film is one beautiful film of Venice and a delicate story of ghosts and paranoia. not for everyone but... i really thought it LOOKED and SOUNDED great. and for a low budget, too, it came out great.

Ugetsu Monogatari
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugetsu

this movie is a major surprise. it leads no clues as to what is going on aside from the story at the forefront, being a sort of normal drama... but with a twist, and shit... not only does this film LOOK amazing, but it's entirely well done in all respects. classic of Japanese film.

like...
Tokyo Story
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Story

this LOW-KEY film is a masterpiece. not only the directors statement and technique of filmmaking, being in full display here, but also a true to life story about familial disdain in modern (50's) Tokyo, Japan. looks beautiful (most important) but also very telling of modern Japanese culture. since i'm on Japan right now, i might also mention...

After Life
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Life_(film)

a newer-ish film. this movie is so dead on with it's concept and display of nuance in story telling and character development, and is SOOO good. it's about people crossing over into the afterlife, and the people running the show up there giving the passing a chance to save ONE permanent memory to replay up in Heaven. touching. truthful. slightly sad, but ultimately empowering film. this one is slightly rare, but so worth it. i was lucky to see it, personally, i think. i might have to buy this one one day.

Persona by Ingmar Bergman
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_(1966_film)

this one is a fucked up, and twisty film about what else... two person's becoming far too entwined in one another, and them befallen to a quite disparate distinction. so good, but not for everyone. it's kinda fucked. but most Bergman films are. you know...

The Seventh Seal (everyone should now this one... plays chess with Death for his life? ring a bell?)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seventh_Seal
Wild Strawberries (dreamy, and entirely mysterious plot, a real spellbinder this one and hard to figure out.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Strawberries_(film)
and some other acclaimed classics, that i've yet to see. but check these ones out for SURE.

The Apartment
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apartment

Jack Lemmon. that'd be nuff said, if i didn't have exclaim that this movie is slightly a bit downtrodden and... it's not Lemmon's usual style, which is why it's so fucking good. one of my favorite movies.

La Jetée
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Jet%C3%A9e

this movie is super short. despite it's low-key nature, anyone can watch this and get some "oomph" out of it. it's a weird one though, which is why it's awesome. (obligatory 12 Monkeys reference) it's about a time traveler. can't say much more then that, other then it's a movie of stills. that's right, still shots make up this film, and it is ingenious. a MUST SEE.

Sans Soleil
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans_Soleil
another film from Chris Marker (Le Jetee) but very different. this is more like a documentary, in the style of something like Baraka. it's a progenitor of this type of filmmaking. it's suburb.

Blood Simple
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Simple

everybody knows the Coen bros make awesome movies (No Country for Old Men, Barton Fink, Raising Arizona (LOLOLOLOLOL), Miller's Crossing, Fargo ect) all classics in their right. but this was their debut... and this film is CLASSIC Coen bros. a indelible showcase of visual delight and a suspenseful almost lampooning story of real life proportions. though this one is more serious then their usual repertoire. it's about  a husband and wife and hired-killer, nuff said.

Read Window
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear_Window

everyone probably knows this one but it must be mentioned. the film is genius. and as far as direction goes... gotta be my favorite Hitchcock i've seen. i mean, it's all within the one apartment and it's back alley view of the other's around it. so visually stunning, and just that makes it worth it for anyone.

lol, those dreams must rock. :lol: but yeah, certain kung fu might not do for certain peeps, but there are just so many amazing Choreographed fights to see, and they are brilliant to watch. why pass 'em up if you get the chance to see em? who doesn't think Martial Arts are at the very least...

fucking excellent movie, and REALLY beautiful too. so beautiful in fact, gotta be one of my favorite color films, and newer films YET. i fucking loved it. so sad too. fuckin real sad and pathetic characters.

edit: holy shit, that scene brings it all back. :lol: awesome. terrifying. and PS: the preacher makes me want to kick the shit out of his self. asshole preacher!

Auto-Summary
This forum post summarizes a variety of films, each with its unique style and appeal. The Player is praised as a thrilling film about a film producer's downfall. Double Indemnity is commended as a classic noir film with great acting. The Children Are Watching Us showcases early Italian Neorealism with a raw, everyman story. All The Presidents Men is deemed a must-see political thriller. All Is Lost is hailed as a gripping, dialogue-light film. Night of the Hunter is noted for its pacing and chilling river scene. My Own Private Idaho is described as twisted and sexually charged. Leaving Las Vegas is considered Cage's best work. Belle de Jour is described as a delicate, mysterious film. Other films mentioned include La Belle Noiseuse, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Crying Game, Last Year at Marienbad, and Paris, Texas, each praised for their unique qualities and storytelling.

The Player
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Player_(film)

stupendously awesome film; intriguing, exciting and whimsical. it's a story about a producer of films (or film exec, to be more precise) getting in too deep, as it were, (never watch THAT particular film LOL) with his decision making... and of course... murder.

so good.

Double Indemnity
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Indemnity_(film)

this one was as good a film noir as i've seen, nice story, nice shooting. i mean, it's kinda cliche now, but back in the day, it was pretty dark. the acting is great too.

The Children Are Watching Us
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Children_Are_Watching_Us

and early foray into the NeoRealism Italian film period. using non-actors, this film portrays and everyman's kinda of story. might be a bit too deliberate in that sense, for most people, but it's quite enjoyable if you like the idea of a true to life story, being done by regular people, and having it turn out quite great.

All The Presidents Men
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_President%27s_Men_(film)

i caught this from beginning to end once on TV,... i was lucky. i got to fully enjoy the breadth of this excellent thriller, and it certainly helped that i was tripping shit on acid, and just finished peeping The Shining on the same date, tripping fuck as well. this one is a must see. MUST. one MUST watch this movie at least once. it's so dire, and on the edge of your seat, and with SUCH a good plot and story, one cannot regret seeing it. excellent performances, too, by Redford and Hoffman. and speaking of Robert Redford...

All Is Lost
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Is_Lost

this is his newest film. and it is a JUGGERNAUT of a good piece of filmmaking. it's dire as fucking dire as can be. and it's subtle, and it's an incredible concept, shot brilliantly, and acted brilliantly, with almost no dialogue whatsoever.

Night of the Hunter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Night_of_the_Hunter_(film)

this is an oldie but goodie. it's pacing is excellent, and it's truthfully quite frightening (not scary but still frightening). the river scene is one of my favorite scenes of all time. i'll post a decent quality piece of it here. plus Robert Mitchum fucking rocks.



My Own Private Idaho
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Own_Private_Idaho

this one is a bit fuckered. Keanu Reeves kills it, as does River Phoenix, the narcoleptic sleeze of the road. this movie is an endeavor. it's twisted, kinda hard to follow, it's particular sex scene is so disturbing and brilliant at once, and the dialogue is ridiculous, cause  like the droogs from A Clockwork Orange, the characters in this one all take on a certain "unreal" personality. it's a film for ... adults. definitely. :yesnod: very good and very well done. and a bit (understatement) downtrodden.

Leaving Las Vegas
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaving_Las_Vegas

this one is Nick Cages best. bar none, save Raising Arizona (if you haven't seen this one... do yourself a favor... grab some weed, and prepare to laugh your face off) but this one... this one is a serious fuckin' movie. Cages character wants to drinking himself into oblivion. he befriends a prostitute and begins a journey of debauchery and love. with the booze and his limelight, the great portrayal of Elizabeth Shue, as his confidant. this movie, again, for adults. not pretty in the slightest. nor clever (unlike My Private Idaho). though let that not do it a disservice, it's just too... REAL... to be clever. which kinda makes it clever. :lol: so good.

Belle de Jour
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_de_Jour_(film)

a film of hallucination and fantasy. a bit of a chickflick, but regardless, if you can handle the delicate pacing... it's a great and mysterious film, by a master filmmaker Luis Buñuel, whom has made many a great film, along with the aforementioned Un Chien Andalou (which was in coordination and LED by Salvador Dali, as well, to note) and several other GREATS. but all of them are quite "experimental" in it's story telling, and all quite fucked up. films such as...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Age_d%27Or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exterminating_Angel_(film)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viridiana
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristana
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Discreet_Charm_of_the_Bourgeoisie

La Belle Noiseuse
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Belle_Noiseuse

another chickflick, but if you like A: painting B: beautiful shoots and C: a good story, one would like this film. delicate pacing, not for everyone.

on the topic of chick flicks that are ACTUALLY GOOD.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unbearable_Lightness_of_Being_(film)

this one is brilliant. great story, in depth, romantic but also with a flavor of political strife. it's based off the novel of the same name, so you can assure yourself it's a "deep" film. not for everyone, certainly. impressive though, for the ladies... and BETTER certainly then The English Patient (overrated film).

The Crying Game
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crying_Game

anyone not seen this? WATCH IT! and BEWARE.

PS: almost forgot
Last Year at Marienbad
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Year_at_Marienbad

this movie is AMAZING,... one to watch stoned. but it's deliberate pacing might be to slow for some... but it's a perfect film. it's like a dream, but more so like a disintegration of reality... it goes into depths of love (as a subtext) but more importantly memory. this is one for the senses. amazing.

Paris, Texas
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris,_Texas_(film)

a humble film, about humble origins. an amnesiac finds himself wandering the desert... he tries to get in touch with his brother, in order to find his identity. touching movie. slow pacing, not for everyone.

In The Realm Of The Senses
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Realm_of_the_Senses

this movie is brilliant. it's touching, frightening and disturbed, all at once... plus, it's basically a really excellent... porn.

must watch.

well, dang, to me, the story is not exactly paramount to a good picture. (see Wavelength) the set design (less so than,...) the pictures and the sounds are KEY to me. story comes as a close second to picture/sound. so i must say, Intolerance seems to be the obvious choice, but considering it's so long, i dunno. :lol:

both look gorgeous from what i've seen though. damn, probably gonna have a D.W. Griffith night, sometime. Birth looks like some fucked up shit, though. :yesnod: hangings and fires... and... whooopp!1

i know, but i've heard it told. i'm like, wha? it's gorgeous. not because of any particular pictures (cept the rose ceiling and the rain at the end) but it's gorgeous in it's story and characters. the Fittz kid is one of my favorite, almost nondescript, characters. and Burnham is awesome, or at least, he turns awesome. and seeing him comfort his daughters friend at the end is one of the best moments ever, in a film.
