Burnt Offerings
1976
with Oliver Reed, Karen Black, BUrgess Meredith
7.5. Very enjoyable and creepy. Hint of The Shining before The Shining. Oliver Reed is cool. The Brood introduced me to him and I thought he was great in it.
The Unholy Three
1925
with Lon Chaney
8
I'm curious to see the 1930 version now.
The Kings Speech
10/10
Bullet Ballet by Shinya Tsukamoto
9
This guy's metal and bullet fetishes get me so fired up.
In Tranzit - set in a transit camp in Russia after WW2. Crap - 4/10. Too unbelievable though it claims to be based upon a real story. it looks like it was filmed in a yard at the back of a factory.
I'm rubbish at choosing films I am.
Stick with the Woody Allen's I'm having a great time.Originally Posted by Paulclem
The last one I watched was Manhattan Murder Mystery - a great load of fun, even Mrs Neely enjoyed it. It ticked all the usual Woody Allen elements too, New York - tick - Neurotic characters - tick - affairs - tick - wine and coffee - tick - analysts - tick - writer/film maker characters - tick, tick, tick, great stuff...
The trouble is I've seen them, and I re-watch films even less than I re-read books.
I have got some good films lined up on Lovefilm.com though.
What films do you have lined up?
What all 55+ of them?

Ah no. I didn't know he'd done so many. I'll take a look then. I did enjoy Zelig - especially when he's tussling with the Pope.
Ah excellent, I've not seen Zelig yet, I've just been looking at them, I'll get that one too. I must be on about 25+ of them though over the last month or so. Match Point is a very good recent one of his (and dirt cheap, under £2 on Amazon). Recently he actually said that Match Point was his best film. I like the neurotic New York ones myself but it is a good one. It might stilll be on the BBC i-player too.
Some other good ones I have seen recently are: Mighty Aphrodite, Play it Again Sam, Manhattan Murder Mystery, Vicky Barcelona (newer).

Cheers mate. I signed up to this Lovefilm.com and so i can order any film they have on their lists - which is pretty extensive. I'll definately have a look.
Last movie I saw would have been Sucker Punch. I thought it was ok, if you're into the idea of scantily clad women performing acts of gratuitous violence in slow motion. Strange plot, horrible ending. But the effects were beautiful, and I liked the idea of this sort of escapist fantasy world. Throw in some steampunk and you have me entertained. Overall, a seven or eight out of 10.
If all the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players,
Who, may I ask, wrote the script?
"Hanna" 10/10
"The Way Back" 7/10
