he Julianne Moore car chase scene in CoM (no spoilers!) is probably one of my favorite action sequences of all time
yeah, that motorcycle..
total claustrophobic panic

Car chase on CoM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> its 'politics' but its been a long time since I've seen it. xp

Ronin completely ruined Sean Bean for me. Every time I see him now in something, I just think of the loudmouth who pukes after getting into some raspberry jam.
Miffed that Heat ranked as low as it did, it is on my short-list of favorite films of all time, and apparently my #1.
Still holding out hope that The Thin Red Line makes its challopy appearance, but save for three films, my top 10 has been otherwise represented, though I'd say two of them have little chance of making it, and the third I am surprised is apparently going to rank this high.
PS Ugh, Hanna -- I knew there was a flick that I'd been meaning to go see in a theater, except now it's out in DVD already.

A NONSTOP ACTION THRILLRIDE amirite
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 20 February 2012 17:48 (twelve years ago) link
It just occurred to me: is Saving Private Ryan gonna show up in the top five? The poll results thus far have largely and somewhat oddly eschewed war films, but that one must be a shoe-in for the opening sequence alone, right?

the car door into the motorcyle and resulting crash @ 2:12 is so amazing to me

*raises hand* love Wages of Fear

wages of fear AND the remake have come up quite a few times in this thread already

I have seen and dearly love Wages of Fear. I wish there were more "action" movies like it.

wages of fear just played at my local arthouse but i missed it :|

i saw wages of fear but it was not enough like a ride for me to enjoy it

wages of fear #8 on my ballot iirc. and yeah as slocki said it's not like it's a movie that's been ignored on this thread.

its sorcerer mate! not a julian sands movie

The movie has been out for six years, I think we can avoid hand-wringing about spoilers tbh
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 20 February 2012 17:58 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, Amon! I don't really care. It's my fault for not having seen it yet but prob best removed in general.
lol I was confused by "Warlock". Don't knock it tho - <3 Julian Sands.

is Sorcerer any good? does Friedkin like it, or cry studio interference?

lol woops
― Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:00 (twelve years ago) link
I like Wages of Fear and all, but bringing it up after Children of Men placed serves it up with extra "meh."

i thought 'sorcerer' was was pretty good but i haven't seen it in a while. one of those movies where everyone is drenched in sweat for the whole running time.

The "Men" in the title: actually women

― ( -- ( .) - ( .) / (am0n), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
having just seen sorcerer, yes it is good. it's been a while since i've watched wages of fear so i can't remember too well how similar to the original it is. but some v tense scenes (the one with a rope bridge during a storm is very impressive)
― Jibe, Monday, 20 February 2012 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
must have been hell to shoot. i'm sure there are some great things to read about the making of it.

I have no idea what Eric is trying to say, which is a welcome change.

I'll clear it up.
WoF = good but mostly not thrillingCoM = better and much more thrilling

I dunno, the thread has been rife with people saying "Oh yeah I never saw that, I really should"

After the midpoint, clearly more than a ride.
PS THIS IS A RIDE

I can't comprehend how Children of Men is better than Wages of Fear.
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:09 (twelve years ago) link
I've seen it several times (and own that Criterion disc). Still prefer it to the remake (despite Friedkin, Scheider, and the Tangerine Dream soundtrack)
