Aerzia's Film Recommendation Thread

[Rev. Rye]

@Rev: Good list,thanks: I haven't seen "Oldboy" ,and would not include ANY Ed Wood movies.Not funny to me,jut boring.

Yeah, well, I've been a lifelong fan (and I'm not even exaggerating here) of Mystery Science Theatre 3000, so liking to laugh at incredibly bad movies does come natural for me. Have you ever seen the movie Ed Wood, starring Johnny Depp as the man himself? I've actually heard people getting a new "Appreciation" for his oevure.

Ivan's Childhood (1962)

I've seen that film. It's probably Tarkovsky's weakest Russian film, but that still makes it a lot better than a lot of movies.

The Grey Zone is a 2001 film directed by Tim Blake Nelson and starring David Arquette, Steve Buscemi, Harvey Keitel, Mira Sorvino and Daniel Benzali. It is based on the book Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account written by Dr. Miklós Nyiszli.

This seems like an interesting film. I'm always on the lookout for a good Holocaust film that's genuinely disturbing (or at least disquieting) and not just some Schindler's List-wannabe melodrama that's so concerned about being heartwarming that it seems like it's trying to ignore the suffering of millions to focus on the salvation of a few thousand.

If you liked In Brugues,you should enjoy The Guard. (current release)

Yes, it does seem like it would be a good film. Its RT score is actually at 96%. I hope to see whether or not John Michael McDonagh is as good a writer as his brother Martin.
