Pre-Oscar movie chit chat

[blackthroatedwind]

I haven't seen much Antonioni. The Passenger and Blow Up and one of his supposed classics which I barely remember.

Hard Times and Mean Streets are great off the track movies.



Maybe there should be a T-10 for off the main trackers.

[Mortimer]

I am inspired to do so.


I'll come up wth mine later.

Best Tom Hanks Movie...

Agreed. Mean Streets is obviously a classic ( " what's a mook " ) and Charles Bronson as the bare knuckle boxer in Hard Times is excellent.

One False Move!

I love that movie.

[Mortimer]

Scrooge with Allistair Sims..???..can't quite bring up the name....was very close for mine as well.

[blackthroatedwind]

Morty, have you seen " One False Move? "

If not.......get it. It's tremendous.

[Mortimer]

Have not...adding to the list.

[AeWingnut]

I really hated Saving Private Ryan

the Americans all died horrible and the Germans only died while trying to surrender.

It's brilliant, how bout the work of Michael Beach as Pluto the quiet, and brutal killer? I thought it was the best film of that year, and of course it go overlooked at award time.

Everything about it is great. Billy Bob ( didn't he write it as well? ) and Bill Pullman are both excellent. It's one of my favorites.

Billy Bob did indeed either pen the screenplay, along with Tom Epperson. It was Carl Franklin's directorial debut. By the way it was Bill Paxton that play Dale "Hurricane" Dixon. Your right about everything in the film is great.

Il Deserto Rosso was good.
