I saw the theatrical cut, and I still thought of it as a really good film. The chestburster/cremation scene was my favourite part of any Alien film :yep:

Anything with Peter Sellers and Laurel and Hardy

Split Second
The Omega Man

The Spy Who Came In From The Cold
The OdeSSa File
The Ipcress File

Except ''Das Boot'' who most of people here would agree, I see:


-The Artist (silent, but surprisingly great movie)

-Princess Mononoke (a really cool japanese anime movie)

-Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (I had no idea chinese could make such a great movie)

-Million Dollar Baby (a Clint Eastwood classic)

-Batman Begins (my favorite of the serie)

-La Guerre des tuques (The Dog Who Stopped the War) an epic child movie.

I've never even heard of it. Sounds like fun though. I'll be on the lookout.

For some of us that's the only way to watch a foreign film. Some people say they hate to "read" a movie, but I'd rather do that than listen to bad dubbing.

I'm a fan of the German WW2 film U-Boote Westwärts, and it doesn't have any dubbing or subtitles at all. I can still understand enough of it to tell what's going on. :sunny:

Cor blimey. Another movie thread. OK, for me the usual suspects, in no particular order are -

Monty Python's Life of Brian
- " - The Holy Grail
Apocolypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
Man Bites Dog
Naked
The Ipcress File / Funeral in Berlin
Downfall
Das Boot (Duh!)
Senna (the only film guaranteed to bring tears to my eyes)
Rare Exports
Zulu (and if I now add The Italian Job - would it be too much Michael Caine?)
QED:Round Britain Whizz (not a movie, but a 30 min documentory on the geographical coast of mainland Britain, with footage (almost) all the way around from a RAF Hawk. Can be seen here (part one) and here (part two), I apologise in advance for the poor quality. Inspirational to the 12 year old boy that watched it. :D
An Ungentlemanly Act.

The list goes on, and on, and on, . . .


What am I watching now? Well the other night I started Run Lola Run, I'm 54 minutes in. Next up after that is Seven Samurai.

I could have added Zulu and Zulu Dawn in my top ten.

These can be added to my list as well :yep:

I sat down to watch Crouching Tiger the other night, after 30 seconds I realised it was all dubbed and turned it off. I have it on DVD from years ago, still in the wrapper, I'll just have to dig it out - but now it's going to wait for a bit longer.

I notice with some Blurays it seems that they simply transferred the film to a higher quality and usually include the same extras that the previous DVD had when something gets changed they do not even bother to list it many times.they do that so much they do not even mention changes sometimes.


@Cybermat47 its not that the original cut of Alien 3 is bad it just has so many holes in it and the character development is just horrible after you watch it you walk away knowing that it should have been so much better.

@Herr-Berbunch if you own a Bluray you can surely change the audio to Mandarin and the subtitles to the language you want to read.You might have to do it via the set up menu or by using the pop up menus.It must just default to play dubbed.

For me it must be subtitled if it is in a different language FTW.I want to hear the emotion in the actors original language.It just does not feel right to see the words not match with a dubbed film.I was very happy to see that my Godzilla box set had both the Japanese and English version of each movie.

I really liked Prometheus. There have been a ton of negative reviews of it that I've read and I didn't think it was bad at all.

@Stealhead - I know, but the disc was in a bedroom cupboard where the wife was sleeping (the bedroom, not in the cupboard), I'd chosen to watch it on-demand but it was dubbed. If there was an option to use subtitles then the spoken language would still have been in English. I'll watch it one day, and it will be original language with English subtitles. :D

I got it recently. Brilliant movie, and I loved the ending.

Hmmm, I've watched a lot of movies over the years. Don't know if it's possible for me to pick a favorite. I'll list some of the more exceptional ones, old and new.

The African Queen
Mister Roberts (The original one)
Heaven Knows Mr. Allison
The Longest Day
Cool Hand Luke
Deliverance
The Shawshank Redemption
Empire Of The Sun
The Aviator
Running Scared
Shutter Island
Michael Collins
The Wind That Shakes the Barley
The Boondock Saints
The Departed
Good Will Hunting
Inception

There's just too many to remember.:hmmm::wah:

That is one of the reasons why I do not really like On Demand you get the same problem in the US.I do not use Netflix or other streaming services for the same reason and they also have lower quality than a bluray will have not much but still.

Another good movie I forgot to mention is "City of God" about the favelas in Brazil in Rio De Janeiro brutal movie.I think that one is only available in Brazilian Portuguese with subs.

@Werner I like "Empire of the Sun" as well.

That is a good movie. Seen it a couple of times. A little disturbing but well made and a good story. :up:

I watched the Chiller channel's "5 Senses of Fear" movie twice tonight. It was okay. Nothing great. It was 5 different mini stories that are loosely intertwined. Like most of the movies on the Chiller channel, it doesn't blow you away or even actually scare you.

It was a good little time-waster movie. :doh:

For Sailor Steve, and anyone else who might be interested, here's the "trailer" for "Viva Maria".

Bridgette Bardot really was a stunner, and a great actress.

Good luck trying to find it though. However there are a few snippets on youtube.
