Must be one of the sexiest seduction scenes in film history...
A guilty pleasure with a terrible and hilarious ending.
This one surprised me. Well stylized. And yeah, you probably have to be into a very specific kind of film to enjoy this... but I'm in that minority that likes metropolitan and kicking and screaming. Though this goes leaps and bounds beyond those films. Just entertaining.
Nothing really worth noting here... in fact, nothing actually happens in this movie. All of the events that would make us care even a little bit are railed over in narration and only brought back when the plot needs them in order to wrap something up. In very short, this movie does not exist.
Awful title, very fun movie. Tom Cruise is damned awesome!
I found this oddly affecting.
Could we get Minority Report listed on this site?
Worth it for the Sax conversation alone. But the whole movie is just as good as that one implicit scene. It's the little things that get me in Woody Allen flicks, and Alice is chock full of some great ones.
Those sustained shots are a godsend. I need more Cuaron like this. I need more sci-fi like this. I just need more.
Hands down the greatest Western ever made.
Holly hell! Klaus Kinski is obsessed and so am I. For some reason I love obsession in movies. It's one of those driving forces that I can believe and really get behind.
Very likely the greatest Musical ever filmed. Bob Fosse was a genius... genius genius genius.
Beautiful and mesmerizing. I leave it on as a screensaver so I can look up and watch a fountain of oil burning against a desert skyline. Why is this so interesting to look at?
Lula!!!!
I love it, and sometimes it still scares me... things have to be just right, but it has the power to be terrifying. I wish horror as a genre could touch on this kind of greatness a little more often. We only have a select few great horror films and a great deal of travesties.
Sometimes I call this my favorite movie. And often, it really is... because sometimes there's a man... and I'm talking about the Dude here... Too much to say, too much awesome in this movie.
I like this film a lot more than I let myself think I do. I still wish they would all look at the same spot in the final scene... it's really distracting.
Have to agree, David Lynch would eat your soul if he wasn't such a splendidly nice guy.
One of the greatest villains of all time.
It's odd how so much confusion on set can lead to something so perfect. Well happy accidents do happen, and Casablanca makes me think that maybe there is a plan for the universe after all.
Obsession: 1. what this movie is about. 2. my reaction.
Rutger Hauer makes this movie. That monologue at the end kills me every time.
I may laugh when he shows up in a dress, but I'm crying on the inside.
Prefer this to Raging Bull... very much so actually. Pretty entertaining flick.
I could watch that kid run all day, in fact my friend and I left the menu on for three hours once while we were working on a project. It really helped. But, what does the title mean?
P.T. got gypped. And I love the Coen Bros... but this was on a whole other plain. Plus, I hate the Academy's score rules... this music still gives me chills (the good kind). When Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead does a film score, you give it a chance. Daniel Day-Lewis rocks.
Wish we had more than just this and Lolita to watch Kubrick and Sellers play. But at least we have the two.
Father of the modern movie.
The ending hits me pretty heavy. They go through all of that for... for what? The Samurai had it hard.
The first Fellini film I ever saw, and still my favorite. Can't wait for Nine. Here's to hoping they get it right.
I think Jim Carrey has more of this in him (Man On The Moon, The Truman Show, The Majestic). Love that Jon Brion score, oh yeah!
