oh yeah.. I try not to start each "day" until I wake up after sleeping.. lol.. assuming I sleep lol..
Yeah, I guess that makes sense
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
or does it?? hha
Hey now, this isn't the thread we took over in the name of confusion! Let's stick to the point here...
So. Film..It's great stuff.

hahah.. yes film is great stuff. hey if you want a cool old black and white creepy film.. watch "Nosferatu" sometime.. it is a silent horror film from the early twenties... so awesome but so creepy.. I can't even watch modern horrors.. they are too gory and gross for me.. I hate it... but the old ones before people decided that graphic violence was entertaining.. well them, I love...
Haha depends on the gore. Like I really do love James Bond movies. And the Hannibal movies, but I really don't think of them as gory because I've seen them so many times. But old horror movies are soo much better. Ill definitely check it out. I have an ever-growing list of old silents that I want to see. Top of the List is La Belle et La Bete by Jean Cocteau. I saw clips in a class I took last year, but I can't seem to get my hands on the whole thing.

Oooohh I have a bunch of good ones.. but I have not seen that one.. what's it about?
My favourites are "the cabinet of dr caligari", "Faust", "Metropolis", "The Battleship potemkin", "Intolerance", "The Phantom of the Opera", and "Nosferatu"... so good..
I don't have any problem with the James Bond movies.. I quite enjoy them.. I was more suggesting horrors along the lines of The "Saw" series.. just gross and disturbing violence and gore that really serves no purpose in my opinion.. it is just icky.. haha..
Yeah, those really are just plain bad.
It's a really old French version of Beauty and the Beast. It does AMAZING things with lighting, considering it's black and white.

"Derrida" -- upity critics liked it; I'd call it mediocre. The Big D reminds me of Colombo (Peter Falk), but Falk is more intelligent and gets results. Derrida just gets a good tan from, no doubt, time spent sunning on the Riviera.
You two must have been up all night gabbing.
I think that La Belle movie sounds cool, *Classic*. I love "Beauty and the Beast" themes and in an old film - that would be so cool. I understand it to be a black and white film?
Which Seller's Film features the phrase 'ban the boom'? I think that one is hilarious! I am sure years ago I saw "Shot in the Dark" islandclimber. I agree with you - I hate blantand violence when it is meant to be pure gore, having no other purpose but to shock a person or gross them out.
Bye the way, thanks for your sympathy about my eye - both of you.It is better today, thank heaven. I couldn't watch any movies last night, because of it
Which "Phantom of the Opera" version did you see, islandclimber? I heard there is this one with Charles Dancy playing the phantom, which is superb - black and white, I believe. You probably saw the older one, that is more well-known with Bella Laggosi (sp?).

I thought I would just say that Dr. Zhivago , the 1965 original movie , was the best movie ever . The music and photography
were amazing . Not to mention the story and the presentation .

I like David Lean films a lot, but it has been years since I saw "Dr.Zhivago"...I don't know if I ever thought of it as 'the best film ever', but when I was younger, I did think it was pretty 'special' and very well filmed. I just think now, some of it is quite dated and I think some scenes a little to hard to actually believe; like the ice/snow house, but still it is lovely to watch. I must try and see it again soon.Originally Posted by GREENWOLFE1962
Of couse, my all-time favorite movie of his is "Lawrence of Arabia"...I own that one and "Passage to India". My library has "Bridge over the River Kwai" which is amazing. The ending is so incredible.
GREENWOLFE, welcome to the forum...I know you will like it...so many nice people here.

I can't remember which one has the phrase "ban the boom"... hmm.. His accent is just hilarious though... He has got to be one of the funniest actors ever...You two must have been up all night gabbing.

good to hear that your eye is feeling better
I was talking about the Lon Chaney silent "Phantom of the Opera" from 1926.. it is really good... though the disc I have it on is so scratched now it doesn't work, so it appears I have to find it again... oh well...
I will have to look it up. I can never recall the name of that film and as soon as I say it you will know it, I am sure. His accent was funny - so phoney it makes one laugh. I think he plays a number of characters in this film I am thinking of.
Had to rest it last night and could not watch any filmsgood to hear that your eye is feeling betterbut listened instead to Frankenstein, an audiobook I bought awhile back with Kenneth Branagh reading the text, acting out the voices. It was quite good, but I kept falling asleep - they I would have to backtrack to catch the parts I missed. Ken's voice can lull me to sleep anyday...haha
I realised my mistake later - Bella was in 'Dracula' I think. Lon was in 'Phantom' - cool -I bet that is just great! I have never seen the whole film...I must put that on my list. uuuuhhhh...did you ever hear of cases for DVD's, islandclimber?I was talking about the Lon Chaney silent "Phantom of the Opera" from 1926.. it is really good... though the disc I have it on is so scratched now it doesn't work, so it appears I have to find it again... oh well...
