Amlethus: Filmography

This should be rated NC-17 for sheer emotional exhaustion. This thing is going to be with me forever!

Duck, You Sucker

The true Leone trilogy is The Good, the Bad & the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West & finally Duck, You Sucker! Who cares about the A Fistful of Dollars & For a Few Dollars More, or Once Upon a Time in America (alright, that's a fine movie, but not perfect). When I was a child, and naive, I thought this film was the weakest and slowest. Now I see through all the BS and find it's a perfect cinematic experience.

Let's live in a world where this is a forgotten film. Oh wait, we already do!

The Wicker Man

I have no bond with the original film (I was 30 before I ever saw it). But this movie is trash on its own terms. Neil LaBute seems to really hate women. Just look at how females are treated in his films (I’ve never seen his plays but of all of Shakespeare’s plays, he worked on The Taming of the Shrew).

Death Proof

Stupidly underrated film.

Death Proof

There are a lot of people who don't like this film. I think it's done something amazing. It took the lead male from the first film & showed his psychological response to how he interpreted the mystic that is in the first film. We see this in how he reacts to his 8 year old daughter’s youthful imagination. He suffocates her. There are NO CAT PEOPLE. And this film can stand alone. Amazing, better than Cat People.

Cat People

Not what I thought it was going to be. I'm not sure I've ever seen a movie like this before. It gives one a very strange feeling.

Cat People

I feel like this one is better than Old Boy and Lady Vengeance.

Barry Lyndon

It's okay 'Powers That Be', it's probably best to not put Barry Lyndon on Blu Ray. In fact we should all just forget that this film ever was, it's only one of the greatest films by one of the greatest filmmakers, so I don't know why we should keep perserving it and putting it onto new mediums.

Joel is a jerk.

Chimes at Midnight

The sound production (what felt like dubbing) really stopped this from being a perfect film (this happened with Welles' Macbeth, though I don't think his version of Macbeth is all that good). Welles is the best Falstaff I've seen (in a non-Opera). A lot of people will say this film is better than they really think it is because Welles' loved it and they don't wish to feel like they've missed something. They didn't.

Every magical thing he introduced at the start would have a function at the end, look at the Dark Crystal were weird creatures would be on the screen for a millisecond then never return, that’s how you open up a world of wonder. Made up of simple emotional manipulation, simple story and visuals that got old within an hour (and leaves you with two hours of a cartoon). And BULLDOZERS!!!!!! REALLY!!?

Eyes Wide Shut

As far as I can see, this is easily one of the most magical, creative, "deep", serious, funny and honest films I have ever seen.

Drag Me to Hell

This is the type of movie where one can seperate the film SNOBS, from people who LOVE film. This one of the most fun movies ever, and it never once takes it's self seriously.

Holy God what an amazing film! What an amazing Buñuel!

This was a pretty amazing film. I thought it was near perfect, then a Djini came in and sucked the life out of the picture.

Maybe in the early seventies this was something, but it doesn't hold up well for me. The philosophy of the "crazy" lady one had an affair with I find mildly offensive.

I can't believe this is the movie Gilliam always wanted to make! It was kind of cliche' and boring.
