Just watched the first three episodes of the 1980 BBC Pride & Prejudice adaptation. But while I like it and Garvie's Lizzie is delightful, I'm still more partial to the 1995 version.

The Star Wars DVD box extras.

Thinking about watching ESB again now (which should make it my 30th-something viewing).

I dunno, there's just something about the style of acting that appeals to me :) In the past few months, I've discovered that I really prefer movies from the '90s, '80s and '70s, to the more recent stuff. The acting, the humour, the action, and (above all!) the music makes for more viewing pleasure, I feel.

I dunno. I'm gonna watch The Lost Boys now :o

Not Star Wars. The Empire Strikes Back.

How can you go wrong with ESB? It practically has it all. Drama, action, romance, comedy. Darth Vader. ;) The coolest plot twist in modern cinema.

Sure, the dialogue isn't the greatest, but it's all in the delivery when it comes to ESB. Just like Don Corleone could have been the biggest fuck-up in movie history if Brando hadn't portrayed him (Brando makes the character what it is, that's why no one has ever managed to own a role like that again) - nobody could look a muppet in the eye when it's just said "Wars do not make one great" in a Kermitty voice, except Mark Hamill. The fact that although it's a popcorn movie at heart, it still has a dark undertone (Han Solo gets turned into a popsicle, Luke loses a hand and learns the horrible truth about Vader, the rebels have their asses handed to them at Hoth etc)

But I'll stop there or I might ramble on even more.

ESB is definitely in the top ten of all time when it comes to cinema. In my book, it's the only movie I can never grow tired of.

Man On Fire.






Very, very, very good film. Direction is original and classy, the acting is top-notch (what do you expect, with actors like Denzel Washington, Chris Walken, and Dakota Fanning? And, would you believe Marc Anthony did a pretty good job with his character? :)), and the music is perfect. It's a very moving film. I feel I have to add something else to my description of "Boondock Saints + Payback + Suicide Kings", but I keep thinking about "Titanic"... :o

Anyway, I really enjoyed this movie, and I recommend it warmly.

You can tell, can't you? :)

Don't know how I missed this thread.

Let's see...in the last few days I've watched:

Buffalo Soldiers
Reservoir Dogs
most of the Simpsons Season 1
Willow

And I've got the Ahh-nold box set with Predator, Total Recall, The Running Man, and Commando to watch in the next few days.  Other than Buffalo Soldiers, I've borrowed the rest from a friend, hence the frenzied watching of movies. ;)

Yeah, watched the Incredibles last Monday and it was indeed a great movie...

Last thing I watched was Hearts in Atlantis, which was pretty sucky compared to the book...
