Hey all. im the new guy. was a film major. Im workng out production ofr a small budget film now. here is a list of my best films. I want to see how totally off base I am. 1) the 400 blows/ french new wave 2) afterhours/ scorsese 3) rules of attraction 4) trans/ indie film 5)platoon/stone 6)carlitos way 7)ravenous
Ravenous was plain weird, but cool (saw it a long time ago and don't remember everything), Platoon is very good.. the others I don't think I saw.. A few of my favorites (no particular order): The Samsara (see my review somewhere in this thread) - very spiritual Ong Bak: the Muay Thai Warrior (idem) - excellent martial arts movie Apocalyps Now Redux - amazing shots Nightmare before Christmas - gotta love Tim Burton and Danny Elfman! The Secretary - yeay for fetish? Original concept..
i agree truffaut and godard are two of my favorite filmmakers... along with bergman! i would also vote for apocalypse now over platoon as the best war movie ever made.
