Two unforgettable films in the last 7 days - LoveFilm is spoiling me: The Station Agent. God, what a brilliant film - a subtle, moving and funny study in dignity. American indie film making at its very finest. 9.3 Run Lola Run. Yes, everyone saw it when it came out but I'd not. A touch of...

Nosferatu - 1922 silent German horror classic. Beautiful locations, the first filming of the Dracula novel 7.8 Batman Begins - lavish very superior comic strip epic with real brains as well as balls. 8.5

Come off it - NSC's self-appointed film expert not having any discernible powers of judgement other than being drawn towards schlocky cheap manipulative emotion is what makes this place so GRATE. :bowdown:

What a BINFEST

Au Revoir Les Enfants. Brilliant beyond words. And all true too, based on the director's own experiences. 9.7

Christ on a bike Gavin, everything about that sounds f***ing AWFUL. :bigwave:

Europa Europa - appallingly inappropriately-jokey title for low-budget but fascinating true story account of how a German Jew survived WW2 by joining the Hitler Youth (the original title is Hitler Youth Solomon). Great film. 7.5

A Very Long Engagement - an excellent lavish and entertaining but underrated epic concerning WW1 featuring Audrey Tatou's ARSE. 8.8

It's a SCORCESE film. With Robert DE NIRO in it. From the 1970s. And I like MUSICALS and JAZZ, both of which feature in it. So how can New York, New York be so bloody awful?? 2.7

I will - I'd heard of his Cahiers Du Cinema, will check him out.

The Bicycle Thieves. I'd heard it was a bit of a classic and it far from disappointed. Brilliant, haunting but subtle and stirring film. 9.5

La Vie En Rose - even if she'd never sung a note, Edith Piaf's hideous life story would make an unimaginably grim epic tale of appalling tragedy - neglectful mother, brought up in her grandmother's brothel, blind for long periods of poverty-ridden childhood, dead child of her own, love of her...

:ohmy::ohmy::ohmy: You, you...holocaust-denying Desert Orchid-fellating BULLY, you!

Nothing personal and no offence of course but I think the idea of NSC's film expert being someone who dislikes any films with any evidence of brains in them is actually a very funny concept - it sort-of reminds me of the grumpy children's entertainer in Hi-Di-Hi who can't stand kids.

Is this a thread about the forthcoming biopic of Desert Orchid entitled "Four Legs In The Air"? *runs*

Italian For Beginners - I totally love Danish Dogme films and it was quite nice to see one without any women dying protractedly at the end for a change. Very, very funny and the customary brilliant, flawless acting and script. Recommended. 8.1

I rewatched One Day In September, and I think it's the best documentary film EVER MADE. 11.1

So, this week I have watched: Shampoo - very California, very 70s, very "why can't I just be a bit more like Warren Beatty?", quite funny, oddly downbeat ending. I want to f*** Julie Christie. I Confess - not the most famous or gripping Hitchcock - he's never at his best with dealing with...
