lol i just re-watched le mepris. i like all of these! think my vote goes to the strange case of angelica. i'll have a look through my screenshots today as well

Spring banner time?

haven't seen the movies she did with techine, a director who is a big blind spot for me in general I've only seen one Techine, which was L'Adieu a la nuit . I thought the movie was really bad (islamaphobic in a really boring way) and it discouraged me from checking out his other work. BUT... Deneuv...

Since no suggestions for next month have come in at all, I have asked ChatGPT to pick and I can let you guys know March will be Bogart and Dietrich.

Need to watch his films, they've been on my radar for years. Feels strange to be encouraged to explore someone's work after they're gone even if I've successfully done that with Rohmer/Chabrol and others in the past.

Carlos Saura, 91

Thought I'd get the ball rolling on these again with two French greats. Considered Binoche and Huppert as well but feel like they're still very much active. Not that Deneuve isn't, but I feel like the bulk of her work is behind her. Would love to poll the other two at some point as well. Get the nom...

Seen: 11 (for now) Les parapluies de Cherbourg Repulsion Dancer in the Dark Un conte de Noël 8 femmes Fête de famille HM: Belle de jour, Rochefort, Potiche, Rois et reine Damn, she doesn't miss! Only one that I wouldn't want to put on there is the awful Tout nouveau testament. To see: Un flic Le der...

The rules: - I'll assume ballots are ranked unless you tell me otherwise. Unranked ballots are fine. - Deadline for ballots: Tuesday the 28th of February We'll use the extended rules for this poll: • If you have seen an odd number of Deneuve films, you can round up instead of down when determining ...

Another weak year for me, will try to expand but for now, three tiers of five: Tier 1 Lost in Translation (Sofia Coppola) Salinui chueok / Memories of Murder (Bong Joon-ho) All the Real Girls (David Gordon Green) Kill Bill Vol. 1 (Quentin Tarantino) Goodbye Lenin! (Wolfgang Becker) Tier 2 Melvin Goe...

i had no idea that godspeed you black emperor the band were named after a film. they're incredible so i wanna see it now

A lot of other stuff I wanna catch up on, but here's a few to start: Seen 18 1. The Northman (Robert Eggers) 2. The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh) 3. RRR (S.S. Rajamouli) 4. Unrueh / Unrest (Cyril Schäublin) 5. Triangle of Sadness (Ruben Östlund) 6. Heojil kyolshim / Decision to Leave (Park...

Don't know how many I'll manage to watch in the last few days but will try. When did News from Home become a 1976 film? Tier 1 Network (Sidney Lumet) Jonas qui aura 25 ans en l'an 2000 / Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000 (Alain Tanner) Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese) The Opening of Misty Beethoven...

Thanks, flip! Haven't checked the forums in ages so didn't even realise they stopped working. Managed to watch more movies recently so gonna catch up with what I've missed. Definitely need to see more Stanwyck movies, only seen 8 and only 6 of the 20 that made the cut. My pleasure, Silga! It's funny...

In total, eighteen people voted for thirty-five movies, here's the top 20, ties broken by number of ballots: 1. The Lady Eve (Preston Sturges, 1941) 51 pts 2. Double Indemnity (Billy Wilder, 1944) 45 pts 3. Remember the Night (Mitchell Leisen, 1940) 43 pts 4. There's Always Tomorrow (Douglas Sirk, 1...

Not that anyone cares, particularly, but I felt bad that I didn't tally the two polls I had open when I stopped using the forum, so here are the results of this one now that I'm hopefully back. In total, fourteen people voted for twenty-five movies, here's the top 15, ties broken by number of ballot...

i haven't seen the first "unofficial" one, but i think i've seen all but one of the rest. skyfall from russia with love dr no the spy who loved me casino royale on her majesty's secret service thunderball you only live twice spectre for your eyes only seen 10 Skyfall Casino Royale Goldene...

Seen 26 (I'm counting Casino Royale 1967 and Never Say Never Again and would also count the 50s TV adaptation of Casino Royale which I haven't seen) Hoping No Time to Die will break the top 10, and might re-watch some, especially On Her Majesty's Secret Service which I feel like I'm underrating, but...

I will close this (for real this time) on Sunday, any suggestions for our next one? If not I'll put a few names I have in mind into a randomiser.

The rules: - i'll assume ballots are ranked unless you tell me otherwise. unranked ballots are fine. - deadline for ballots: Sunday the 31st of October we'll use the extended rules for this poll: • if you have seen an odd number of Bond films, you can round up instead of down when determining the le...

Could add Fyodor Khitruk to the list, I have 8 and since he was featured in a cup a while back, there should be enough or nearly enough views for him in general.

The Lineup, which suffers from being staunchly pro-police and boringly procedural but does come alive when the villains or the SF landmarks are on screen. Makes me wonder how Dirty Harry holds up, haven't seen it in over a decade. Dune, which has some pretty sick set design and was generally very en...

Yeah let's do it, I'll just use flip's extended director rules and it should be easy enough, I've been pretty sporadic lately but should be able to start the thread soon.

Watched Susan Slept Here the other day which was cute and icky at the same time. Really weak year for me but these will make the list for sure: Rear Window (Hitchcock) Vera Cruz (Aldrich) Drive a Crooked Road (Quine) Sansho the Bailiff (Mizoguchi) Seven Samurai (Kurosawa) Johnny Guitar (Ray) maybes/...

MdG. Is that good?

I'm reading four books at the same time, thought I'd kicked that habit. Cheever's Collected Stories . I'm only a few stories in, and it's a fat one, but really digging his style, a little naïve perhaps but poignant and evocative nonetheless. Hrabal's Dancing Lessons for the Advanced in Age . Read 40...
