Re: What Films Impressed You?
Recently watched the 1985 (Bela)Russian film 'Come and See'. Not sure impressed is the right word, but it deeply affected me.
Probably the most effective film about war ever made and just shows how far Hollywood has to go before it can ever contemplate creating something like this. Spielberg has so much to learn about real filmmaking.

Re: What Films Impressed You?
The film that affects me most is "The Family Way" with Hywell Bennett, Hayley Mills (yum) and John Mills. It makes me cry even more than "It's a Wonderful Life" and that's saying something.

Re: What Films Impressed You?
Another that I could watch (and have) again and again is The Duellists with Harvey Keitel & Keith Carradine. Its one of Ridley Scott's best but is always relegated to the graveyard shift if it's ever shown these days. I remember chris Kelly showing it being made on Clapperboard- another show they should have kept going.

Re: What Films Impressed You?
I rarely watch any film more than once unless I didn't understand it first time - eg -2001 Space Odyssey.
But the 3 Godfather films I can watch over and over again, and have. My ex-no2's auntie had married a Sicilian, who anyone could see was a consigliare (sound=consilliore). When we visited them (near Messina) it was clear to see -he had been mayor of Messiina - we could go in any cafe and eat for free just by saying we were his family. Every morning there were freebies on his doorstep and people touched ther brow when they met him (but didn't smile as they did it) - was a bit frightening. Just a thought -no more Mafia cracks here please - it is no joke!!!!!

Re: What Films Impressed You?
British films from the 60's Billy Liar, A taste of Honey, Saturday night, Sunday morning. I remember seeing earthquake at the pictures on broadway and running out cryng cause the seats were shaking!
Recent films; goodfellas, godfather 1 and 2 always liked Jason and the argonauts, that metal statue coming to life used to give me nightmares. Also loved Kes with brian glover and the football sketch!!!

.Recently we went to the London Palladium to watch the show starring Connie Fisher (who won the BBC's How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria).It was an outstanding performance of a wonderful show. |

Re: What Films Impressed You?
just watched on DVD " Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg, full of mindless popcorn violence , will probably do wonders for military recriuting programs , worth the rental on a bad TV night
kind of reminded me though nothing like the old Charles Bronson classic 'the Mechanic' , |
