Re: SCFZ poll: Jia Zhangke

For now, my vote would be the same as Flip’s (sorry, Crypt’s :D ) , but I’ll try to watch at least one more from Jia as I like all the three films I saw too much and I need to be able to vote for more. Great director!

Re: Films and Directors You'd Imagine You Would Like

I imagine that I would like these directors:

Robert Altman
Fritz Lang

I was always very interested in Robert Altman's films, but never got around to actually watch some. Same with Mr. Lang. :shhh:

You put 10 90s directors in the 2000s list. ;) I put those ten at the bottom of your 90s selection. If you're unsure, just look up imdb, or wikipedia. Thank...

Re: New(ish) Films you've seen in 2019

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Quentin Tarantino, 2019) 10/10

One true highlight of the newish films I've seen in recent months.

The best film of the year so far, followed closely by The Beach Bum.

John Wick 3 is very good, just not as great as the 2nd film.
