Weak effort from aging, slumping GOATDirector Kubrick! Much prefer final scene of Dr. Strangelove with Slim Pickens and Darth Vader-to-be J.E. Jones!
"What about Major Kong?" "Yee Haw!"
I actually have a 2 DVD set with these 2 movies on it that I got years ago for only a few dollars. I prefer Apocalypse Now slightly...

The visuals from 2001 stand the test of time. I love the deliberate pace of that file and then that final sequence has such a great effect. That's one of the greatest scenes in movie history. Apocalypse Now is so powerful as a film. Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, The Godfather 1 and 2, A Clockwork Orange, The Graduate, Altered States, Marathon Man and Gandhi are some of my other favorites.

I was pleasantly surprised by The Cider House Rules. That was a nice film from 1999.

IT was nice for me only because Charlize Theron was in it.
Ha Ha. She's very pretty!

I have so many movies I love, I can't even think of them. I'll just do a couple that pop into my head for now, in no order.
Terminator 2
Dances with Wolves
Catch Me If You Can
Kill Bill 1 and 2
M:I:3 and Ghost Protocol
Huge fan of Superhero movies and Suspense/Twist endings like Saw 1.

If you're into sci fi I would actually suggest this new Korean film (Korean director American-Brit actors) called snowpiercer! Quite Good! very well made.
But otherwise enjoy everything done by Nolan or Kubrick!

Thread bump...seems right to compare last spring's look to the current thread.

The Kubrick thread got me thinking about my favorite movies, and while the Fab 5 thread is more recent I refuse to limit my selections to only five, so I decided to list them here. A couple of things:
1) These aren't necessarily what I believe to be the very best, though most of them are up there and, at the risk of sounding presumptuous (OK, I am), better than the predictably pedestrian Sight & Sound picks.
2) Nor are these even necessarily what I've spent the most time watching. (They'd be mostly the blockbusters on TV that I come across while doing chores.) Rather these are the films I actively return to from time to time not because they are "must-see" but because I really love these gems almost as much as my literary and musical faves (in Naruse's case there's no "almost").
3) No particular order. Just alphabetical by director and the titles are chronological.
Now the list:
Carné, Marcel - Les enfants du paradise/Children of Paradise
De Sica - Umberto D.
Dreyer - Vampyr, Day of Wrath, Gertrud
Kubrick- 2001: A Space Odyssey
Kurosawa - Ikiru, Ran (in my not-so-humble opinion, the supreme achievement of cinema)
Melville, Jean-Pierre - Le Silence de la mer/The Silence of the Sea (Howard Vernon as Naz! officer Werner von Ebrennac may well be my favorite performance ever by an actor, man or woman, even above anything by my all-time fave thespian Anna Magnani)
Mizoguchi - Sansho the Bailiff
Naruse, Mikio - Late Chrysanthemums, When a Woman Ascends the Stairs, Yearning
Ophüls, Max - The Earrings of Madame de . . . (a masterpiece of elegance with the best-looking couple in movie history between Danielle Darrieux and De Sica (yes, that one), and also the best line ever: "Our marriage is only superficially superficial.")
Ozu - I Was Born, But . . ., Late Spring (his real best work over the slightly overlong and overwrought Tokyo Story), Floating Weeds, An Autumn Afternoon (his valedictory and as good as any of his other titles)
Renoir - The Golden Coach/Le Carrosse d'or
Shindo, Kaneto - Kuroneko (presumably a horror story, it's quite possibly the most erotic film ever made, absolutely haunting)
Hope you'll be tempted to try some of them. Enjoy.
