Hercules is also quite good. The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh should also be up there among all time great Disney films.

K. Waste posted:It's a Wonderful Life, Au Hasard Balthazar, Pier Paolo Pasolini's Oedipus Rex, Terror of Mechagodzilla, The Wild Child, Days of Heaven, Miller's Crossing, Dazed & Confused, and Moulin Rouge! are all "perfect," so, no. Dazed and Confused, really? I mean it's a great film but Mitch alone makes it far from perfect. Count how many times he touches his face when he talks to whatshername, the girl that's his age. SO DISTRACTING e: If you want to talk about a perfect Linklater film you have Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, both of which entirely trump Dazed and Confused.

SO DISTRACTING I haven't seen the Before films, but Mitch Kramer constantly touching his face is just another one of those honest things that makes Linklater's film genuine. Everything awkward in that movie works to its benefit, and I consider that a kind of perfection.

The show Salem isn't too bad for killing time in the background. And pretty solid visual effects.

K. Waste posted:I think it feels more abrupt because to a certain extent it's meant to be that way. By the time Curtis reaches the front of the train, one fully expects that he's going to follow through on his plan: "Kill them all" and bring the train (somehow) to a safe halt. But then it's revealed that the entire 'rebellion' was staged for the benefit of the train. It basically leaves no other options open other than give up your flesh and destroy the train, and that's part of what makes the film emotionally effective. It's not giving us the satisfaction of a hitch-less revolution where the "silent majority" survive and overcome, and instead suggests that the solution lies beyond our desire to perpetuate ourselves. This is very similar to Children of Men. I almost hate to bring this up because of the last few pages of the Snowpiercer ending discussion but I know that the revolution ending wasn't going to happen, because at best they were still stuck on a train powered by evil. I'm talking about the fact that all the main characters but one die off-screen and aren't even given the closure of a shot of their dead bodies or whatever. It's like the movie forgot they were there and it was jarring as gently caress. Also you idiots arguing semantics about polar bears are almost missing the point as hard as MadMattH. The implication that 'life finds a way' is made obvious by the polar bear, yes, but so too is the fact that the only two survivors shown are the only two 'innocent' characters left alive by the end of the film. If the intention was to indicate humanity's bitter and final end I don't think they would've had a convenient and adorable tiny fur jacket for the little boy. For a movie that bludgeons you with it's metaphors and isn't particularly great some of you were really bad about understanding it.

Jose Oquendo posted:So is Snowpiercer the new Children of Men? Are goons going to take out an ad for the movie asking for Academy Award consideration? Children of Men is so much better it's ridiculous. I'm not talking about the plot premise or anything, just that Children of Men was so much better as a film.

They're very different. Children of Men was a self-serious, mostly OK story with some truly fantastic action movies. Snowpiercer has a wacky premise and some wacky performances. It's dumb, but at least it's dumb in a different way than movies have been trending lately.

Snowpiercer had amazing direction, beautiful set design, good acting, and a pretty weak script. It works well if you shut off certain parts of your brain associated with pure logic and focus on it as an emotional allegorical tale. Pretty good movie, seriously stellar direction. There, I have settled it.

I liked Snowpiercer for the most part, but I think it would have been better if it had more wacky stuff. Tilda Swinton was by far my favorite part, along with the classroom stuff. Whereas a lot of the more serious parts seemed kind of generic and didn't stand out to me much. I don't really care how "smart" a movie is, but a lot of it wasn't all that interesting to watch. I didn't even mind the baby speech near the end that a lot of people hated, for pretty much the same reason as you said. It may have been stupid and not very well-written, but you don't usually hear the protagonist say something like that.

The trick to Snowpiercer is to approach it like Robocop, not Inception or something. It has subtext and allegory and everything but its strength is just being a really good dumb, fun movie.

Great Mouse Detective? It has Vincent Price and Basil Rathbone, and it's on streaming. It really doesn't feel like a Disney movie.

I have no idea how Cuaron teased something incredibly visually dense out of a really drab P.D. James mystery. You could watch it with no sound whatsoever and just be floored by it.

I'm trying the Amazon free trial and I take back all my complaints about Netflix's lovely interface. Who thought listing each season of each tv show as a separate thing was a good idea?
