I WAS TEN OKAY

What I'm getting from this is that still not nearly enough people have seen Walk Hard. Beautiful Ride is goddamn amazing, especially, of course, in context, because it's so hilarious and so genuinely moving at the same time.

Serves you right for not seeing Free State of Jones first. Y'all change your names and avatars but don't show any real commitment to your cause

Before summer started I actually thought the whole "election year" thing + solid wom on the second movie will allow The Purge 3 to go way up to something like a 40-45 OW and a 100 total. I even flirted with the idea of putting it in my summer game top 15. Weird they aren't doing anything with it.

Sam Fuller is another guy who seems like he's totally my kind of filmmaker, but I haven't seen anything from him yet. Love his cameo in Pierrot le Fou though.

I'll get mine in in a couple of hours

Patiently waiting for that long cut of Until the End of the World, but I've listened to the soundtrack a few dozen times. SO GOOD.

Schizopolis might be my favorite Soderbergh. It's funny as hell. The color in those Powell and Pressburger films is unbelievable. What I wouldn't give to see Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes on a huge screen.

I thought Enemy and Sicario had a very similar tone, the former was more of a mindfuck but they're recognizably the work of the same director. A drama/romance/sci-fi combo strikes me as very different from both of those. And yeah Enemy is easily his best film.

Everything about Repo Man sounds right up my alley. I need to get to it already.

Scorsese's best since Bringing Out the Dead.

YAAAAAASSSSSSSS

Will this still be open tomorrow? How many hours left?

Prince of Persia dropped 14% the weekend Toy Story 3 came out, this is pretty much the same thing

I just realized that I completely fucked up SOTM 6. Put in six answers I think will actually be correct. That's what I get for doing it at 6 AM.

You just get off on being withholding

Nothing, really. There's definitely some very dark humor in there. But it works very well overall. Poelvoorde's performance is amazing.
