    Janine and Antiquarian!!!!!!! *shakes his head in disbelief, looks up into the evening sky and wonders if there is a god any longer*... how could you talk about versions of Pride and Prejudice and neglect to mention the best one of all... 1940--- Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson, Maureen O'sullivan, Melville Cooper as Mr Collins, and the great Edna May Oliver as the Lady Catherine de Bourgh... how could you!?!?!?! I am speechless, at a loss for words, tearing my hair out here... I mean, the BBC Colin Firth, Jennifer Ehle version was good... just not comparable...

    Though, I have to admit that one of things I look forward to on this site is reading your ongoing movie discussion here... It is great, and full of wonderful insight, I might add...

    Well, I don't get so dismayed, islandclimber....we will have to put this one on our list Antiquarian, don't you think? We both love old films, so that should not be a problem; except for the fact, that I have not seen that version available before. I must go and research it when I have the time. Glad that you alerted me to it.

    Though, I have to admit that one of things I look forward to on this site is reading your ongoing movie discussion here... It is great, and full of wonderful insight, I might add...
    Gee, glad it is helpful. We love bantering on about films. Seems one film will lead to another suggestion or set of comments, and that makes this even more interesting.

    LOL I have not seen the 1940 version, islandclimber. Something for me to look forward to.
    Yep, we must check that one out.

    Please don't tear your hair out.
    ditto!

    Amalia, Excellent film! I love Roman Polanski's films. *two thumbs up*

    "The Kingdom" and "Into the Wild" -- both recommended; lots of meaning.

    Watched Paris, je t'aime last night; it seems I had a bad copy the first time I saw it, and a lot of scenes where cut out.
    Anyway, it's a cute collection of short stories, some make sense, some just leave you a bit puzzled. 8/10


    byquist, I loved The Kingdom, it was very well directed and one of the few films of that managed to maintain objectivity and present both sides of the story.

    recent BBC "Robin Hood" -- a tad on the corny side, but some bounce to it.

    I just saw "Chalk" and oh my "Bob" it was AMAZING. I LOVE low-budget films that are little miracles like that! And it was such a great, basically untouched topic, too-teachers. I mean, sure, there are plenty of movies out there about teachers and how inspirational they are, but have you seen any that are about how they really are?

    It's just fun because I see the teachers at my school socializing all the time, walkin' around, goin' in the teacher's room, etc. (sometimes I wish I could go in there and hang out with them, really) and I ask them how their last teacher's meeting went (they usually say "Boring. I just got coffee and spaced out.") and this really put all that on the big screen. Loved how it showed them going out to a bar. I've even heard teachers say, "When I went out with Ms. so-and-so". Of course it's only logical, I mean, they're human, too.

    Real gem of a movie. I simply must own it. My favorite part was the Spelling Hornet. Hilarious. The extras on the DVD are great, too.

    Completely underrated hilarious indie film and unfortunately basically unseen and unheard of.

    10/10

    Yes!!!!!!!!! Amazing film!!! (but I can't bring myself to use that dancing banana smilie!)

    Lily I thought Chalk was really good too...

    Antiquarian.. I agree with you about the new Elizabeth... I thought the first was quite a bit better! but I still love Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush... I always think about the movie Shine when I think of Rush... he was so amazing in it.. one of my favourite films... such a wonderful and yet sad story.. and then his portrayal of the Marquis de Sade in Quills... it was fantastic too.. It's too bad he hasn't been in anything of quite that caliber since, or not that I've seen...

    "We're starting a morning teacher walk..." *two people power walking* Ahahahaha. I love awkward movies like that. So realistic.

    I <3333333 teachers so I'm a bit biased.

    BBC North and South (2004). 20/10
    Brilliant! Watched all four hours of it yesterday evening after work, and i had to watch all four hours of it again this morning i loved that much. Move over BBC Pride and Prejudice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The last movie I saw was...Saw

    The fourth installment,to be precise,I went to the cinema specifically for this(well,not because I really wanted to see it,but because a female friend of mine asked me,and I can't say no to her...).

    Anyway,I'm not sure if it's because I didn't see Saw II & III,but the movie was dreadful,,boring,no story,no characters,no sense.I fell asleep around 45 minutes in,she noticed that,and now she's cross.Yes,I fell asleep in the cinema.During a horror movie.That's how bad it was.
    Noću, u intimnom, poluglasnom razgovoru sa samim sobom, nikako ne mogu zapravo logički opravdati zašto se u posljednje vrijeme toliko uzrujavam zbog ljudske gluposti.

    Fallen with Denzel Washington. It was pretty good but they left too many things unsaid, like why the brother was living with them and if he was slow?
