jimmyjimmy Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Recorded this last week, just got around to viewing.A good film with a surprisingly controversial premise considering it was filmed in the early 60s; (Young couple seeking an abortion).There's some great scenes throughout and strong performances by both Wood and McQueen. One scene in particular should be seen by any fan of either of these actors. Hated the ending, but it's certainly not a waste of time viewing. Link to post Share on other sites

GtrPlyr Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Repo Man is in my all-time top 25.Me too. Probably seen it at least 10-15 times since I was a teen. I think I can still quote half the movie. It also has one of my favorite soundtracks ever. Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 The Great Debaters. I'm a bit of a sucker for glossy, crowdpleasing social-message movies.I enjoyed this movie, but I think one of the central ideas of being a good debater is being able to defend positions squarely opposed to your own. I wish we would've seen that portrayed. Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 The Mist is one of the best "genre" flicks I've seen in ages. Truly unsettling. A lot of people disliked how the movie makes its social criticism explicit, but that's exactly what I loved about it. And I think I could lead an entire class on what this film says about fear, desperation, and fanaticism. What it condemns and endorses isn't always obvious. SPOILER: The religious imagery is especially confounding; among many others things, consider how the wacko's death is framed to give her a cruciform pose, and how the shocking Abraham's sacrifice at the end suggests that mankind does, indeed, have something to pay for.

Sir Stewart Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Oh, has this aged well. I don't remember being all that moved by it when I first saw it (ten years ago), but man - this is up there among the greats of the '90s. Link to post Share on other sites
