Best Films of '07

[got_edge]

I think I'm gonna watch Eastern Promises today on my computer and maybe something lighter afterward so I don't kill myself.

It's not that depressing. You might need something to recover from the awesomeness, though.

Where's my Robert Zemeckis Collection?

Where's my Robert Zemeckis Collection?

Hopefully in the trash, where it belongs.

[LMP]

Hopefully in the trash, where it belongs.

The only movies he's ever done worth a shit were the Back to the Future series, and that's more because of the excellent writing and acting, not his direction.

 

[lazarus]

Well, did you watch North By Northwest?

"I'm not Kaplan!"

 

[LMP]

I was out all night, I'll watch it either tonight or tomorrow.

 

[No spoken words]

You were out all night?

 

[Lancemc]

I just watched The Fountain again.

It was good.

I'm really craving some Malick now though for some reason, and have no means to satiate my hunger.

 

[LMP]

You were out all night?

All evening. Excuse me.

 

[No spoken words]

I just joined the NetFlix, instead of buying every fucking thing I want to see, and The Fountain is on the list.

 

[LMP]

Netflix also does downloads or streaming videos now, which is pretty cool.

 

[No spoken words]

I likes to watch on my Television, not on a stamp.

 

[LMP]

I've upgraded to my computer screen, which is kind of good.

 

[No spoken words]

I've upgraded to my computer screen, which is kind of good.

That is progress.

 

[LMP]

In 5 months it won't even matter, fantastic.

 

[phillyfan26]

In five days, it won't matter for me either. :score1forthegoodguys:

 

[LMP]

Great shot kid, that was one in the million.

 

[Lancemc]

Fucking nerds.

 

[No spoken words]

Fucking nerds.

I understand and agree.

 

[lazarus]

Make that two threads hijacked by Star Wars quotes.

Don't make me bump the SW discussion thread. Because I'm always up for more nostalgia.

 

[elevation2u]

we need more malick discussion,
what's everyone's favorite?

badlands is easily my favorite movie, ever.

every scene , every sentence, of any of his movies is pure cinematic perfection.

 

[LMP]

Badlands and Days of Heaven are really high up on the NetFlix queue. I can't wait to get to them.

 

[elevation2u]

i recently saw the special edition of Days of Heaven and almost bought, but used my better (economical) judgment and put it down since I already own it. I have all his films (cause you know there's sooo many), well technically I have to repurchase New World since the person who borrowed it never returned it.


I'm suddenly tempted to watch Thin Red Line, it's been some time since I've watched it.

 

[lazarus]

Sorry, but Badlands is probably my least favorite. I still think it's great, but the others are all just a bit more ambitious and powerful for me.

1. Days of Heaven
2. The Thin Red Line
3. The New World
4. Badlands

Tree of Life

LMP will be able to rent a car by the time that comes out.

 

[LMP]

LMP will be able to rent a car by the time that comes out.

Or I'll just drive my own.

 

[lazarus]

Or I'll just drive my own.

But you need to be 25 to rent.

Village Voice/LA Weekly Film Poll, voted by critics from publications across the country:

Check out the landslide that DDL won the actor category by.

And I kind of like that they don't bother to have the arguably redundant director category. Just the auteur-friendly snob touch that I love.
