Shadow of a Doubt. Interesting film, said to be Hitchcock's favourite among his own body of work.

Before that, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Before that, The Truman Show.

Before that?

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Rewrite the Prequels!

Shadow always seems a bit too small town-ish to me.

The Sound of Music. Glad I could revisit an old favorite that ages well.

Truman Show is one of my favorite movies. So underrated.

Winter's Bone was mine. And it was awesome. 10/10

Before that I watched Large's Ark, L8wrtr's edit of Garden State. A great improvement on the original.

30 Days of Night: Dark Days

Since they're like poetry, what with the rhyming and all, I find that I only need to watch three out of the six films.

A Single Man (2009).

Visually beautiful adaptation of the Isherwood novel.

Some lovely subtle visual effects which are very evocative of the sensation of mood shifts and some well crafted performances.

It's a bit of a downer though (just like real life from a certain point of view).

If you are in the mood for the visual equivalent of a slightly clawing Carpenters song give it a spin.

**edit - I was thinking of A Serious Man, the Coen Bros movie, which was amazing. I haven't seen this, although I've always meant to.

Watched The Future of Food last night. Documentary. Highly recommended.

I admire your enthusiasm but Red may not have access to a copy of the film and as I said, good as it is, it's a mood piece and if you aren't in the mood it may be advisable to...oh...I get ya... ;-)

Me and my dad just finished watching Full Metal Jacket.

Since he was in Vietnam way back then, he was pretty critical of the film's not being very realistic to what actually happened.

I think that Kubrick wasn't trying to make it a war film.

It was a character study.

Still, he thought it was okay.

Pop's rating:

6/10

My rating:

10/10 (one of my new favorites)

My 1960's History professor, who was in Vietnam, insisted that every Vietnam movie except for We Were Soldiers is complete shit that doesn't capture what it was really like.

He particularly hated Platoon, and hated that people generally think it's realistic because they've been told it is, while he claimed that it was one of the most unrealistic Vietnam movies he'd ever seen.
