"Shine" has an amazing soundtrack... that movie started my Rachmaninov obsession!!!:D

sorry for making you want to watch "Quills" again... :p

Well, the original film is the first one that I'd ever seen. I watched it after I read the book. I do agree that the acting is very well done. I have always enjoyed Greer Garson's Elizabeth so much. Like I said before, I really like Olivier's Darcy. Actually, I had quite the crush on him in this film when I was a kid. :p Any film version is good compared to the Keira Knightley one for me. I just don't like it at all. :sick: I own an older BBC version of P&P. I wasn't crazy about that one, but even that I like better than the recent film version!

The sad thing about "Quills" is the fact that I have this desire to watch it now, but I don't even own it. So, I have no access to this film. :bawling:

All this talk of Peter Sellers reminds me of another movie I saw recently: The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. The movie was decent, but Geoffrey (sp?) Rush does a spot-on Peter Sellers. Stanley Tucci does a pretty good Stanley Kubrick as well.

Well, I would lend it to you, seeing as I have it, but it would be quite the toss to get it to you... I would have to be one of those Milwaukee Brewers that you love so much, to throw that far...:p instead i think I may just wath Quills as I go to sleep tonight ... :p But if you want I could send it to you someday, just to make up for this appalling gloating that I am partaking in at the moment :p :D

oh yes, the Keira Knightley version is so bad.. I think she has to be one of the worst big name actresses out there... just terrible...


Janine and Antiquarian... I love Prokofiev and DeBussy as well... though I have to say I like Tchaikovsky better among the Russians... and Rachmaninov's piano concertos best of all Russian classical music, but it is hard to compare piano to symphonies, etc... :D

But still my favourite piece of classical music of all, has to be Mozart's "Requiem".. it is so epicly beautiful... it is too bad he did not finish...

August Rush 9/10. I loved the movie, but what was with the end!!! It was a cute end but I was hoping for a LITTLE more.

Atonement 8/10. I liked it and thought it was a good movie, but it didn't catch my attention the whole time. The end had the tears rolling down my face though!

Hi grace! Long time no see, how are you???
What is "August Rush" about? I don't think I am familiar with that film.
I want to see "Atonement" but I have a feeling I will feel the same about it as you. I heard mixed reviews on the film. I still am dying for it to come into my library. They just got tons of new ones so I am sure they will buy it soon.

Hi Antiquarian, I love Tchaikovsky, too - who doesn't? Especially love him since he wrote so many fine ballet scores - "Sleepying Beauty", "Nutcracker", "Swan Lake",....and so much more.

I also adore Mendleson's "Midsummer Night's Dream" score.

I have some Bach but have never fully emersed myself in his music. I am not sure why; but I am sure I do like some of it, A.

Of course, Mozart's last work was amazing and so moving, islandclimber....yeah, sad he did not complete it.

I love Beethoven and Chopin, too, because I love piano music.

I might watch "Quills" tonight or tomorrow. I'm not sure. I have so many DVDs to watch.

---

:lol: Did you watch "Quills" or one your other countless 'unwatched, still-sealed-in-the -original-wrapper', new DVD's.....?
Antiquarian, I do the same thing; I have some I bought about a year ago, and still have not gotten around to watching.......soon....soon...;) :lol:

Sweeny Todd 6.5/10

I found it okay but there was waaayyy too much singing for me. I though it was Harry Potters next movie or something.

27 Dresses - drivel. 1/10

My, you were in a very teasing mood last night! :p I am tempted, but no. I thank you, but I don't need your copy of that movie. After all, it was offered in a way of trying to "make up" for being a tease! :p Oh, wait! Unless you were teasing with the offer, too! You are just too bad! :p


Breaking Away (1979)
10/10 Good film! :thumbs_up

He is mischievous! Watch out for him, Lady Wentworth! ;) :lol: Also, he wears shorts year round, even when it is 0 degrees C out. He confessed on another thread, right, islandclimber?

I am not sure if I saw that film you listed. I know I wanted to see it. Can you recap it for me, LW? I think I did see it and liked it so much. Who stars in it?

Would you believe I have not seen a film now for over 3, 4 nights?

I guess the last films I watched were plays and I greatly enjoyed them; something different for a change.

The Enemy of the People, original play by Henrik Isben
The Widowing of Mrs. Holyrod, a play by D.H.Lawrence

Not assigning numbers to them, but they both were excellent!

Just finished watching the 2007 remake of 3:10 to Yuma. I usually don't like newer western movies (you just can't beat the look of the old B&W westerns :) ), but I have to say, this movie was pretty darn good. Not sure when it happened, but somewhere along the way, Christian Bale has become one of my favorite actors working.

It was okay, but nothing great.

6.5/10

Was going to watch "The Leopard," but it was too long for tonight.

:lol: Antiquarian, another night has passed by and I have not watched a movie - this makes about 4 now...what is the world coming to? ugh...I have gotten tied up on this computer:crash: again posting like crazy - totally obsessed of course.:(

I am curious, what is "Get Shorty" about? I need to break open one I bought about a year ago, too! ;) :lol: I might take off the wrapper and find it has disintegrated!

Janine, I highly reccomend Get Shorty. Its a based on Elmore Leonard's book of the same name about a mobster loan shark that becomes involved in the movie business. Unfortunately, they followed it up with Be Cool, one of the worst sequels ever made.

Sweeney Todd , Loved it very much.:)

and thanks again:thumbs_up
