Favorite Of All Time: Apocolypse Now
Best I've Ever Seen: Blade Runner
Most Liked Recent Movie: three way tie: East is East, July Rhapsody, and Dinner Rush
Last Good One That I Saw: The Station Agent
Worst Movie: I've seen so many I don't even want to think about them.

For those who have satelite, the IFC channel is the source for the most amazing independent films. 4 out of the 6 movies I mentioned, I have seen on that channel. Every independant release from The Thin Blue Line all the way to House of 1000 corpses. Where else can you watch a documentary on John Waters other than the LOGO channel, and I don't think they'd play it. Anything by John Sayles is awesome.

I've never seen Memento, but I've seen the real news documentary report on the true to life guy that that movie was based on. That was intriguing how he "started over life" every 2 minutes or so, unless he played a song on the piano, in which case, he could last about 4 minutes. I still think back to that every now and then for some reason randomly. I think it was that intriguing to me. It is funny that someone mentioned it.

Man, Water for Chocolate was an amazing looking movie, the director of photography did an awesome job on that one. Is that the new Elizabeth I or the one with Cate Blanchet? Great movies everybody!

 

[Pumblechook]

oooh, that reminds me. My more recent most favorite is the new "Miami Vice." My mother is a really fanatical Miami Vice fan from the TV show lol... so this summer I planned for us all to go as a family and see it..... then she made me go a 2nd time a week later.... and then my step-father to go a 2nd time himself another week later:tongue:

Anyway, I thought the movie was awesome the first time, such a great story. Then the second time, I was really able to appreciate the cinematography and finer visual points of the film. I really like Mann's directing, he has a style that is present in all of his movie's that I've seen. They are very good at capturing both the "very cool essence" of a scene (i.e. we're driving fast down the highway etc., for 20 minutes in the middle of a movie with no dialogue) and literally seeing things as a person really sees them (i.e. if I'm watching a baseball game from behind home plate, I will see the cage/net blocking my view, as opposed to having a 100% close-up/clear view of the batter as most films portray). I really like the use of these elements.

You're thinking of Clive Wearing, poor guy.

You're thinking of Clive Wearing, poor guy.

Yah, thanks for reminding me of his name. It's a pretty sad story. You know what the professor said after he played that movie to us?... "guys, if you have a headache that lasts for more than 24 hours.. get to the doctor! Don't wait three days.." I suppose that's about as good advice as you can give about that one, it's just a tough one all around.

Driving Miss Daisy
I just watched this about two hours ago lol. Awesome movie, so simple, and all dialogue, so it's a wonder that a modern day younger person likes it (everyone I know likes empty action films), but it is one of the greatest.

Small Time Crooks
Saw this one in the theater, I really like it too. I feel like it's very underappreciated, as it was not some huge well-known blockbuster when it came out. It's an all around good picture.
