Actually, that's a good point, Bruce. I did the same.

From what I recall I agree. He didn't cheat that much, but he did make good use of cuts / transitions (eg, Bruce and Toni in the living room).

Really? I think The Sixth Sense was really the only successful one (as long as you didn't know the twist) and Unbreakable was an interesting take on the superhero. Signs was mediocre but has a great soundtrack.

Don't know why I like it. But I do. I put it down to Joaquim Phoenix ..he is just ...great

My trouble with the village, or the main or, was the twist was so obvious it hurt, and it would have been much better without the twist,

Yes, well put. Tho there are lots of films with the same problem that seem to get away with it...

I must admit that UNBREAKABLE was enjoyable.
But, I think every one of his other movies would've been better as 1/2 hour Twilight Zone episodes.

Worst twist EVER....

Boxing Helena

I don't like censorship, but that film either needs the end cut, or just ban the whole bloody terrible embarrassing, insulting pile of tripe.

Wow, why watch The African Queen a zillion times? I watched Dirty Dancing about 15 times just for the watermelons. I think one out of every two movies I have watched was Dirty Dancing. Do I get ejected from the forum now?

If it wasn't you Steve. I'd ban you from NSFGE.
I did go on my first date to dirty dancing though.

Watermelons? Hahahahaaha well, glad to read that you have a soft spot..

African Queen is just great, and you should watch it.. thou no watermelons, just water

Now, Ari, Dirty dancing for a first date? dear oh dear.. dear oh dear... dear oh dear... watermelons for a first date... dear oh dear.....

Ari · « **Reply #60 on:** March 06, 2013, 07:47:52 AM »

Wasn't my idea, she asked me.
She left me for one of my friends a few days later, so I guess my obvious "joy" of the movie didn't impress her. Then I met a woman years later and married her.. And guess what her favourite movie was. Gee I have all the luck.
Anyway Steve maybe I can hook you up with one of them?

There should be a penalty for mentioning AFRICAN QUEEN and DIRTY DANCING in the same post.
For shame....

About to watch Argo, and I'm going to follow it with Jason and the Argonauts...

Mirosae · « **Reply #65 on:** March 09, 2013, 03:07:29 PM »

Argo is a good one.

I am going to watch The Impossible. A Spanish film. Hope I won't be too upset afterwards..

Good thinking, man!
I'm betting you'll enjoy Jason more.

And I said, ''what about Breakfast at Tiffany's?'' He said ''I think I remember the film. Yes, I recall we both kind of liked it''. And I said ''yes, that's the one thing we've got''

It's a few years since I saw BAT... May give it a re-run soon, but I'm off to watch something British, and Black and White. Maybe Hobson's Choice...Crikey..

Which Drac? 1931? Didn't you already get the Uni box set?

paul waines · « **Reply #72 on:** March 19, 2013, 05:56:53 PM »

58 Harry, and Rosa there's more extras than you can shake a stick at, I'll post the back of the box in the morrow...

Harry Caul · « **Reply #73 on:** March 19, 2013, 06:34:17 PM »

Oooo... it's on blu ray? Is it region free?

paul waines · « **Reply #74 on:** March 19, 2013, 06:45:15 PM »

Unfortunately not Matt, which is crazy as surely they would make more money doing so.

It's a disc that would make me buy another player for it. When I say disc, it's a 3 disc set, and if your an anorak about it like me, there's plenty of extras, two versions of the film, and the last 4 Japanese reels where they took the extra footage from for the recent restoration. They only found the last few reels from the Jap version, just incase your wondering... but anything extra is a bonus this many years on.
