I am so incredibly jealous. That is an awesome story to be able to tell. Man, I have to watch that again soon.

Nice addition, @Xarus. And I'm embarrassed to admit it's a movie of which I had not heard prior to your listing it here. Going by the critics' columns and other commentary, it looks like an outstanding movie that did not get enough publicity in North America.

I haven't heard of it either but it looks alright.

I saw Dunkirk in the theater last summer, and I was impressed. Interesting movie structure, with the interlaced (non-sequential) three stories. I definitely give it a thumb's-up as being worth the price of a theater ticket, but I want to see it once or twice more before I make room in my personal all-time top-10 list for it. There's a lot going on in that movie, in very subtle and understated ways. It was obviously a labor of love for the producer-director, and not everyone who sees it is going to love it.attacker101 wrote:

I know you younger guys all love Inglourious Basterds (note odd actual spelling), but I consider it less of a war film than an over-the-top revenge fantasy.
And, no, I am not a big fan of Quentin Tarantino. However shiny, well directed and well acted several of them have been, I think Tarantino is basically a pornographer of violence, and his movies have precious little in the way of redeeming substance.

Yeah I tried watching some of his movies and, while I love pulp fiction, others were just too much of a gore fest to even watch.MontanaBB wrote:

I love the last Django from Quentin Tarantino. Amazing western.

I guess he will never get back to the "Pulp Fiction" level. Some of his other movies have been nice (I liked "Reservoir Dogs" in particular, but "Ingl.Bast." isn't bad either), but they will never get "classic" status like PF.
