Nah, it's not you. Some threads eventually die and pick up again.

Gah, I almost forgot. It's not always a movie for me to watch, but when I'm in the mood for an action movie, my favourite would be, hands down, "Hard Boiled". Wonderful John Woo movie. The ones he makes now (now that he's moved to the States) pale in comparison to his Hong Kong ones.

Yup. Hard Boiled is basically a Chinese Die Hard. I'm dissappointed with the DVD though, it's only in mono and not even Dolby Digital. :dork:

I thought Face Off (US) was pretty good, it was way better than A Better Tomorrow (Chinese), which was really gay.

 

[Calgar]

AAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Well lets see.

True, Face Off was far better than A Better Tomorrow...though ABT was more in Woo's younger years, methinks. In any case, the newer stuff he makes today (MI2, Bulletproof Monk -- and yes, I know he just produced that, but nevertheless...) is subpar, in my opinion. I don't know...there's no more *memorable* gun fights, it seems. They're too obsessed with the special effects, as well as martial arts. While I admit, martial arts movies are fun to watch, we have Jackie Chan for that, thank you. Anyway, enough of my rant.

I see no one has mentioned the princess bride yet? :flame:

 

[Vertigo]

That is a classic, though I wouldn't say it's one of my favourites. It's one of those that I've seen so many damn times I just can't more than once a year anymore. Still, it's not a bad movie.

[PLas]

1) the Crying Room
(An Australian Film that is now almost unheard of. Not to be mistaken for the crying game. This is so much better. If you can find it. This film absolutely floored me. You can never be the same person that you once were after viewing this one.)

2) Battle Royal (from Japan)

3) The Original Night of the Living dead (Not the Anniversary edition or the comedy)

4) Time and Tide (also from Japan)

5) Bad Boy Bubby (Australian)

PS: if you haven’t yet seen any of these films yet make sure that you track them down. They are all truly phenomenal.
