i saw wages of fear but it was not enough like a ride for me to enjoy it
― max, Monday, 20 February 2012 17:56 (twelve years ago) link
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.

Man, am0n...I really wish that Children of Men imbed were a link. That's such a huge spoiler for people who haven't seen the movie.

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

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?

I like Wages of Fear and all, but bringing it up after Children of Men placed serves it up with extra "meh."

the children of men dies at the end

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

i dunno never seen it
― ( -- ( .) - ( .) / (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.
― Jibe, Monday, 20 February 2012 18:03 (twelve years ago) link
I have no idea what Eric is trying to say, which is a welcome change.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:04 (twelve years ago) link
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, IT'S A RIDE
After the midpoint, clearly more than a ride.
PS THIS IS A RIDE

PPS as I said upthread, v excited to see Wages of Fear.

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
so I rlly am curious how many of you have seen this
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)

it's kind of lol to think this guy is also responsible for CoM which is great too.

Cuaron's Harry Potter was the best of all of them. For what it's worth. :D
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:11 (twelve years ago) link
the scene where the little princess gets shot in the face was such an amazing surprise

Felt that way when it first came out. Watched the series again with lady friend before the release of the final movie and it stood out even more as the strongest.

The Little Princess was my #1
― rob, Monday, 20 February 2012 18:17 (twelve years ago) link
that scene where they're riding in the magic train and dumbledore gets wanded in the face was amazing
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:17 (twelve years ago) link
can't believe cuaracon shot that in one take

It's called A Little Princess btw

broom chase scene was amazing, shot in real traffic!

never change, Morbs
Austerity Ponies wrong on 7 Chances, it is driven by the quest of the Keaton character
I already anticipate yr responses to that: no, yes, you're crazy, maybe

hard boiled was my #1 vote. i was thinking about how isolated and lonely tony is in the movie shrouded in fog and how despite all the neurostimulating operatic action film violence its almost wistful, a farewell to hong kong. the ambivalence of leaving
― 99x (Lamp), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:23 (twelve years ago) link
i havent seen any woo movies since the 90s i think
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
i had this feeling they would date badly but maybe im wrong?
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:25 (twelve years ago) link
yes and no
I feel like the datedness is no less distracting than a Mann movie, bc the action/story is so good
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:26 (twelve years ago) link
the datedness is very endearing, the offness of the film stock, the soft edges, 80s sound palettes carried forth into the 90s
― http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1tAYmMjLdY (dayo), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:27 (twelve years ago) link
the doves
wonder where those doves are now
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:28 (twelve years ago) link
some hong kong action movies are a little too wistful for me. tons of wist. like, 70 minutes of grieving and 20 minutes of gunplay.
― scott seward, Monday, 20 February 2012 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
plus honestly, singing + doves in the killer works even better now bc of the datedness.
now go rewatch them!!

I love Hard Boiled! (It's a comedy)

Doves made it over to America, definitely appear in Mission Impossible 2, can't remember if they turn up in Paycheck.
