mahnamahna Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Lucky! I remember when I was 14 watched Pulp Fiction for the first time, It blew my little mind! Goodfellas is a most also, those two were my favorites for years. Watched Pulp Fiction this morning... I'm still not sure what I just saw but it was an amazing interwined story if I've ever seen one. I can tell Reservoir Dogs was a testing ground for this. Samuel L Jackson should have gotten the Best Actor Oscar just for the last scene! John Travolta wasn't laughably bad, Bruce Willis was great, Christopher Walken is always nice to see, and the various smaller actors were great (Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi, Julia Sweeney, etc). Uma Thurman was perfect as Mia Wallace - and QT snuck in his foot fetish for the first time in this one haha! great soundtrack and phenomenal dialogue I give it an very high A/borderline A+ - it would make my top 25 for sure at the moment but I'd need to watch it a couple more times to solidify my opinion of it.

The Stingray Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Funny thing about Once Upon a Time in America is that my dad bought it and Once Upon a Time in the West for my 16th or 17th birthday, and all these years later and I still haven't gotten around to watch it.

mahnamahna Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 I saw Being John Malkovich last night... it has to be the most twisted, absurd, and imaginative comedy I've ever seen John Malkovich going into his mind alone makes it worth watching 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It would be embarrasing to list all the important movie I havent seen, so I wont do that. But I'll say that I have never seen a Werner Herzog movie other than Grizzly Man, and that is a crying shame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilusha Bandara Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) I've seen all 6 of them those are all the ones I haven't seen! Watch them soon! Especially Seven Samurai, Godfather2, 2001: ASO and Lawrence of Arabia. And Blade Runner and Pulp fiction as well.

Follow it up with BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF NEW ORLEANS because.... Nick Cage. That's why. Edited August 15, 2013 by Telemachos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disapprove of your means of acquisition, but since Herzog stole a 35mm camera from the University of Berlin to make AGUIRRE, I think he'd be fine with it.

He has to be one of the most fascinating figures in filmmaking. I've watched dozens of interviews of Herzog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should really check out a lot of Herzog's other stuff. His range is amazing. RESCUE DAWN, with Christian Bale, is a harrowing true-story POW adventure. AGUIRRE, of course, is one of the greatest films ever. FITZCARRALDO, all his documentaries, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Herzog's been on my radar for a long time now, just haven't got around to him yet (I was shown Bad Lieutenant by a friend, too). I have a habit of catching up on a lot of living directors' works in days/weeks before they release a new film (recently, for example, I watched a lot of Neil Jordan before Byzantium arrived in theaters, Kar-Wai Wong before The Grandmaster, Korine before Spring Breakers, and so on), and since Herzog remains pretty active I'm sure I'll get more acquainted with him soon enough.
