I stopped dancing when noticed that I wrote Zuwalski.

But I blame Greg as he wrote that before me and I unconsciously did the same.

Victory dance in progress

32 Our Little Sister (Hirokazu Kore-eda 2015) I really wanted to include it, but couldn't make up my mind which film's got to move out to give it spot. So it's my #56 for sure. 24 L'iceberg ( Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon 2005) :hearteyes: :hearteyes: :hearteyes: Have you seen their recent film &quo...

Agree about the Gone Girl. It was a horrible experience and Fincher’s worst film.

When I think of the films that influenced my love of cinema, I get back to the days of my early teenage years (that being the early 2000s) and I've got many titles that come to mind when I have to look back at what got me into film (I know there's another thread on SCFZ for that), but besides the li...

I am grinding my teeth right now. I mean, The Darjeeling Limited is my favorite Wes Anderson film.. How could I've missed it. Nevertheless, props to Greg for all the great screenshots. I guess I am due for a re-watch of this beautiful film.

The additional five films: The Reflecting Skin (Philip Ridley, 1990) Hyenas (Djibril Diop Mambety, 1992) Affliction (Paul Schrader, 1997) I'm Not Rappaport (Herb Gardner, 1996) The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (Robert Ellis Miller, 1968) 1-10 Sunset Boulevard (Billy Wilder, 1950) 12 Angry Men (Sidney L...

I salute everyone who watches The Beach Bum. I watched it twice in cinema and looks like it’s going to become a cult classic. Moondog is a cool cat! (also there’s a cute kitten in the film)

Three films for 1949 poll The Set-Up (Robert Wise) 7/10 Expertly made and compact film. Criss Cross (Robert Siodmak) 8/10 My second Siodmak and while I still prefer The Killers, Criss Cross is a great noir with another fine performance by Burt Lancaster. I only wish the 3rd act was as good as the re...

Final list: 1. Hanna (Joe Wright) Young Adult (Jason Reitman) Sleeping Beauty (Julia Leigh) Contagion (Steven Soderbergh) Rango (Gore Verbinski) Five Broken Cameras (Emad Burnat & Guy Davidi) A Separation (Asghar Farhadi) Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (Nuri Bilge Ceylan) The Guard (John Michael M...

I for one cannot think of any reason as to why people hold Paul WS Anderson as somewhat respectable auteur. I find the use of this 'vulgar' term as a tool to justify any chaotic film-making that delivers muddled and pretentious results. I've only seen 4 films from him (Soldier, Event Horizon, Mortal...

Paul Schrader is one of my favorite directors. Affliction and American Gigolo are some of my favorite films of the 90s and 80s respectively. He's not just a great writer, but also capable to deliver nuanced and well-constructed stories. Actors shine in Schrader's films and are not overshadowed by an...

Seen 10:

Affliction
American Gigolo
The Comfort of Strangers
Hardcore
Blue Collar

I highly recommend 5 Broken Cameras. One of the best docs on the subject.

Two compositions by Terje Rypdal for Heat. I think Mystery Man is one of my favorite songs from 90s cinema.

GAB a.k.a. WBA, cast your votes in the ongoing polls. They can also represent your alter ego GAB.

I have 9 from Paul Schrader

Maybe someone can get Pabs and WBA votes if they still can't log in here?

I hope the change of theme is temporary because it looks really bad in comparison to the previous one.

I also seem to be getting logged out every time I close SCFZ tab.

Does anyone know how many users are locked out at the moment?

And I was wondering if admins can see when was the last time every user logged in?

I guess there could be more users with the same problem, only they haven't found a way to tell about it.

Great one, Joks. I would have picked Tony Scott next. I think I’ve seen all of his films.

Tony might not be admired universally as much as his brother, but I think he defined action filmmaking of the 80s-2000s.

Coens? They are in a totally different league than Hyams OR Sonnenfeld. Coens might just be the most accomplished director(s) of their generation in the US.

I agree with Monsieur Arkadin . I too think that Barry Sonnenfeld is more talented and creative director who made one of the best Elmore Leonard adaptation Get Shorty and probably the best Hollywood blockbuster sequel with Men in Black 3. Not to mention his great work as cinematographer on films lik...

I've seen Angelo, High Life, Queen of Hearts and Anthropocene: The Human Epoch. High Life is the only one I absolutely hated. But others here at SCFZ seem to be more generous with their opinions, so I just don't know. For me the acting was atrocious, directing non-existent. I could recommend Angelo ...

Palme d'Or: The Traitor (Marco Bellocchio)
Grand Jury Prize: Pain and Glory (Pedro Almodovar)
Jury Prize: Bacurau (Kleber Mendonca Filho/Juliano Dornelles)
Director: It Must Be Heaven (Elia Suleiman)
Alternate: Matthias and Maxime (Xavier Dolan)

never seen a hockey match in my life. Me too, I don't think I ever watched an entire game. Hockey is not popular in Lithuania, although I see a resurgence lately. Last year Lithuanian national team won Division 1B group in world cup with the help of two former NHL players Dainius Zubrus and Darius ...
