It is rare when these kinds of questions and lists of movies coming up, it made films that would be involved, to be reasonably complete.

Penguin 02-07-11 05:04 PM

Interesting list, especially in the relation of the time the movies were made.

I've seen:

THE WILD BUNCH
BASIC INSTINCT
THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM
THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT
THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE
DIRTY HARRY
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST
THE TESTAMENT OF DR. MABUSE
DEEP THROAT :smug:
FACES OF DEATH
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
KIDS
THE EXORCIST
LIFE OF BRIAN
BONNIE AND CLYDE
LAST TANGO IN PARIS
FREAKS
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
120 DAYS OF SODOM
TRIUMPH OF THE WILL

(Reservoir Dogs still lying around here since some time - I feel a little ashamed for not having it seen yet...)

And shame on you guys that nobody has seen "The Testament of Dr. Mabuse"! :nope:
A brilliant movie! Even if you don't put it into the context of the rise of fascism it is still a great story.

not the original, "only" the version with Al Pacino (great film) - didn't know that this was a remake - but making one is ok after 50 years.

Quite right, :yep:

Sailor Steve 02-07-11 06:51 PM

I have to disagree. I thought the remake was awful. But of course that's just me.

Rambo IV showed more blood and guts than the majority of those on the original list IMHO :yep:

"Guts" everything is relative from the viewer's eye,:cool:

I think that The Last House on the Left still shocks and nauseates just as well as it did in 1972.

Well, I love the early 80s Florida scenario, but I was a big Miami Vice fan, that's why I'm quite prejudiced... But I'll watch the original, as I also was a fan of the Untouchables :cool:

Yes, that's why Bonnie and Clyde was so shocking at its' time, today it is maybe the Zeitgeist to make shootouts more realisticly.

Well, 120 Days of Sodom still shocked folks after 200 years ;)

Yes, indeed, good movie. However I meant the TV series from the 50's. I loved it, one of the reasons it was so great, is maybe the fact that it was made relative shortly after the real events happened (20 years).
For example, I saw 5 minutes of a movie about the Hindenburg 2 days ago - that was enough! The costumes were great, the decoration was good, but the actors talked and acted like today, they didn't behave like someone in 1937 would - that alone made the movie bad. Ok, the story line was also laughable, trying to make a mixture between the Titanic and Pearl Harbor movies is always a bad idea... :damn:

As am I. That's why we have opinions and taste.

"One man's meat is another man's poison."
-Old saying

"One man's theology is another man's belly laugh."
-Robert A. Heinlein

"One man's great film is another man's worst ever."
-Me, just now

And speaking of which, I also hated Untouchables. It was a good movie, but I'm a fan of the true story, and they made a hash of that.

Did you also not like the series? :cry: I watched it when I was younger, so I can't tell you how much it followed the real eventsand how much was fiction.

Maybe there was some because the movie's hero was someone who previously aided Al Qaeda terrorists...

:O:

I was too young to know better. I hadn't read Ness's book yet. After the movie there was a new series. The pilot was very accurate. The show itself? Not so much.
