Strijkbout: Watched Zardoz recently.
I wanted to watch this movie for a long time even though warnings of campy silliness are all over it.
But I also watched Logan's Run and I found it pretty entertaining and I have to say Zardoz is easily better than that.
Recommended if you think Sci-Fi movies like Avatar and Prometheus are boring.

Gunsang: Hey! Someone else who has watched Zardoz. I agree with you completely, Logan's Run is your average run-of-the-mill 70's scifi flick(which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the preachy stuff gets kinda old); Zardoz, though campy, is a very...unique film. Plus any film that has Beethoven's 7th in it is Ok with me.
Yes, it's incredible that this movie was made on a nickle and dime budget but has a more deeper meaning than The Matrix, Avatar and Prometheus combined.
Makes me think that some movies suffer from having too much budget.
I also don't understand why this movie has such a low IMDB score, I would have rated it at least above 7, guess Sean Connery's costume must have offended a lot of people. ^^
The Godfather 1 and 2

Amazing that movie was.
I saw "John Dies At The End", it was a blast to watch because it's so crazy but well written.

thegrasspillow: My friend, while this reply is 3-4 years late, I must say I grinned when I saw this! I watched it around 3 months ago. What a film. Alain Delon's such a pretty boy, too.

Excluding Le Samouraï, here are a few of my favorites:
* Alain Resnais's Hiroshima mon amour
* Alain Resnais's (again) L'Année dernière à Marienbad (Last Year in Marienbad)
* Joe Wright's Atonement
* Kon Satoshi's Paprika and Perfect Blue
* Stanley Kubrick's The Shining

The last one I saw: The Hobbit. It had its dragging moments, but I generally liked the pacing and most especially the acting (Martin Freeman!).

Recommendations:
* Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation. Gene Hackman is such a good actor. Also, the young Harrison Ford looks like a complete douchebag in that film!
* Godfrey Reggio's Koyaanisqatsi for that total audiovisual experience. Very very worth wasting an hour and a half for this.
Wowza, is it weird to get a reply on here...

My favorite movies have changed a lot since that old post. Le Samourai is no longer up there, but stays close (and gosh darn is Delon ever that). Resnais' Last Year has been tied for my favorite movie ever for a long time now, sitting alongside 8 1/2, Jurassic Park, and the Goonies. (A nice, I feel, mix of nostalgic bliss and "arthouse" (or whatever term is appropriate); it took me a while to get over myself and toss Goonies into my top ten, but I think that and JP are the two movies I've seen more than any other throughout my life.)

Conversation is great, I'd recommend Blow-Up on top of that if you haven't seen it. Now I just need to see Blow Out and I'll be done with that little 'series'....

Some great audio-visual treats would be Chris Marker's la jetee and Tati's PlayTime. So much fun, that last one!

MAGNUM500: I saw "John Dies At The End", it was a blast to watch because it's so crazy but well written.
Just watched that yesterday, was a nice change of pace.
I'll have to dig up the book at some point.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I'll admit, it made me tear up on occasions. Something that's not really common of me. Fantastic movie right here.
Now I want to watch Le Samurai again...
"Brazil" by Terry Gilliam. One of those films that ooze brilliance. It's basically a setting similar to Orwell's "1984" with quite a bit of dark humour.
I just finished watching on Netflix "FRD: American Badass", it was hilarious. It's a very satirical style of humor along the lines of Naked Gun, Scary Movie or Airplane where it's just stupid but that's why it's funny.

I hate the movie for only one reason : the music gets stuck in your head forever.
I just saw "30 Nights Of Paranormal Activity With The Devil Inside The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" by the makers of "The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall And Felt Superbad About It". Ultra Stupid but you laugh so you get what's promised...don't ask how I found these movies LMAO!
Sahara

I remember seeing it a few years back, but didn't really remember anything about it except that it was loads of fun. Watched it again and, well, it was still loads of fun. It seemed very aware of the fact that it was set in Indiana Jones land and made no attempt to deviate from its focus on implausible adventure. Even the characters seemed to be enjoying themselves. It wasn't great cinema and it had its share of logical absurdities. But it was an enjoyable way to spend 2 hours.
The Hobbit. Great movie, but like Star Wars it's not as compelling the first three movies.
I just sat through that thing we call House at the End of the Street. It was bad. Really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, bad.
My wife and I are working our way through the James Bond Movies and just watched Thunderball (#4) and I found it to be rushed and badly edited. Looking forward to You Only Live Twice (#5)
