Probally There Will be Blood, because it explores it’s character. Whereas No Country For Old Men does not go to such depths. Though No Country does show the brutal savagery on the part of humans who proved to be animals in the film, Javier Bardem’s character is not explored in as full depths as Daniel Day Lewis’s. Neither I think the best film of 2007. That honor would go to Assasination of Jesse James by the coward robert ford.
Kurosawa is the greatest but his first films are bad. about 2 minutes into Sanshiro Sugata Part 2 I turned it off. I should listened to Kurosawa himself who denounced the film in his autobiography. I nearly turned Love On the Run off too when they played the theme song, COME ON!
Also Gladiator, Pearl Harbor, any Michael Bay movie, any M. Night Shalyman film too. Plus anyone who is a fan of Evil Dead 2 acknowledges it’s a terrible movie, that’s the point of it.
My list mainly goes by directors, I believe one should see the full range of the director’s works ( this isn’t totally comprehensive i have alot of films to see but so few dollars.)
Ran or Ikiru or Seven Samurai- Akira Kurosawa
8 1/2 – Frederico Fellini
The 400 Blows- Francois Truffaut
Hara-Kiri Masaki Kobayshi
Viridiana – Luis Bunel
Fire within Louis Malle (haven’t seen this one but i’m a huge fan of louis malle and hear it’s the best)
Breathless Jean Luc Godard
Army of Shadows Jean Pierre Melville
Brazil- Terry Gilliam
Taxi Driver or Mishima: Life in Four Chapters- The first is directed by Scorsesse and written by Paul Schrader, the the second Written and Directed by Paul Schrader
those are just some, There’s alot more i’m probally forgetting, much more on favorites list on profile.
The killer says “Garbage Day” when killing a man taking out garbage in Silent Night Deadly Night 2
“I have not been to my home country since I last left.” from some western
He’s not the worst critic ever, but he is pretty absurd. He gave no valid reasons for not liking Brazil. And the only reason he liked Paul Blart is because it shows fat people in a positive light. Seriously read the review, he wants kevin james to be the next james bond!
I saw that maker of Spirit of Beehive was going blind, so was Kurosawa when he was making Ran. I just find that interesting i’m not trying to downplay the accomplishment of others. And Yes i realized this forum is a repeat, but i forgot to check before i made it.
Evil Dead 2, The Departed, Wizard of Oz, Any disney movie, Rocky, any speilberg movie, Juno, 300, the marx brothers films (It’s not they aren’t funny, Groucho is Hilarious, but the films are just so damn incoherent, why even bother to have a plot if it isn’t strong.) Deerhunter.
