Classic/vintage or newer?

Heathcliffscathy · 15/04/2007 21:27

junebug - lovely, moving, beautiful

moonlight mile - a fantastic film about grief and families and susan sarandon is amazing in it and puppy eyes bloke from donnie darko and bareback mountain is great in it

amores perros - violent, fabulous, mexican about life and dogfighting

heat - if you havne't seen it shame shame shame...best action film for people with some intelligence ever

for starters will that do?

Cheesy oldies-Crossing Delancey
Play it Again Sam ?

Another vote for Heat. Sticking with the De Niro theme, Casino, and Cape Fear - the 1991 version.
Magnolia - Tom Cruise's career best performance!
The Ice Storm.
The Last Days of Disco (or the others in this Whit Stillman sort-of-trilogy, Metropolitan and Barcelona)
The Big Lebowski.

MAGNOLIA! one of the best films ever and the only truly great film that tom cruise has ever had a part in.

Confetti is fab and funny!

Would like to see The Queen too.

casino royale is supposed to be good and I would love to see Borat as well.

point break: hokum that makes you want to be a surfer.

boogie nights....fantastic. julianne moore off her tits on cocaine and a porn star but still managing to come across as a kind of gentle mumsie type....

I'm sure you're right, Sophable; I watched the 1962 original feeling "this is indeed film greatness", but I enjoyed the 1991 version more, just the same!
1980s films - how about Something Wild or After Hours?
