At the same time as we crash-landed on the Andean glacier and slipped into a downward spiral of cannibalism.

The first time i saw that was as an in-flight movie coming back from Canada one time. The "trying to crash the car into the tree" scene was the only time in 35-odd years of flying I've ever heard everyone on board a plane laugh out loud at the same time...

The Bad Sleep Well (aka the Japanese Hamlet) 8.2

And then you go and spoil it all by posting something sensible.:thumbsup:

I guess now is not the time to mention I've just finished all 10 hours of Krystof Kieslowski's Dekalog? Superb film-making and moving story telling (and much, much better than Three Colours...). If there are any grumbles, it's that "One" is the best of the lot (9.3), which sets the bar and the...

:lolol::lolol::lolol::lolol::lolol::lolol::lolol: I think that's the funniest thing I've ever read on NSC.

The Filth and the Fury The perfect antidote to anything. Lots of swearing, loud punk music, and Sid Vicious behaving like a total cock. Marvellous 8.8 Almost as good as Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten (8.9)

Number 2 on my list of "saddest films ever made" (number 1 is Tokyo Story btw). 9.2

Plan 9 From Outer Space I'm always a bit nervous of films that are "so bad they're actually quite good", but this one lived perfectly up to expectations. Yes, the cardboard cemetery headstones wobble every time sometime kicks one. You can see the shadows of the scenery on the studio wall...

Group hug, anyone?

Not that anyone else cares, but I suppose i could have used the movie's actual title: The Darjeeling Limited :dunce:

The Darjeeling Express Enjoyable tale of three estranged brothers finding themselves on a trip through India. Probably conveys the spirit of what India is really like better than any other western-made movie I've ever seen (you can keep your Gandhis and Passages to India). It's filmed with...

You've read all the reports on these above, so I'll just say: Juno 8.2 No Country for Old Men 8.4 The Lives of Others 8.5 All in all a very satisfying weekend of movies.

:thumbsup: I shall be watching that and No Country For Old Men this evening. I am muchly looking forward to both.

A quick: "I thought the film was utter BOLLOCKS" would have done the job equally well however.

www.oscar.com/nominees/index?pn=index# : Cate Blanchett for Elizabeth: The Golden Age Julie Christie for Away From Her Marion Cotillard for La Vie en Rose Laura Linney for The Savages Ellen Page for Juno I'd like to see Marion Cotillard win it, but they'll never give it to her becasue she's a...

La Vie en Rose Tremendous and very moving biopic of Edith Piaf containing something for everyone: sex, drugs, wife-beating, murder, teenage pregnacy, plane crashes, terminal diseases... oh, and a few songs too. You name it... And it's all true. Marian Cotillaud is a tour de force and very...
