Good Movies / Re: Films you should revisit
Last post by claws - Today at 07:52:10 AMSchindler's List (1993). I mean, I have seen it a few times but it's been a while.
The film teaches, moves, and preserves memory, but it asks a lot emotionally. Too much to revisit ever so often.

Ghosts can continue to roam the earth as long as people remember them, but they'll start to fade once they're forgotten. Luckily there is a way out to remain memorable: scare people and become an urban legend. Easier said than done when you're an average girl with no special talent. However, in the afterlife there is an entire showbizz industry, geared to transform you into an undead sensation.
This Taiwanese horror romp takes broad swipes at celebrity/influencer culture and societal norms. Not the most subtle movie you'll see, but great fun throughout. Kudos to Gingle Wang as the main character, who, it turns out, was also in Marry My Dead body. Also kudos to the director/writer for not shoehorning in a love story.
You'll also be surprised by how much work and planning goes in a decent haunting

It's 1978, and four dim-witted high school buddies embark on a mayhem filled road trip to see KISS at Cobo Hall in Detroit. A very funny, raunchy period piece that's worth seeing even if you're not a KISS fan.

Last post by Rev. Powell - December 06, 2025, 11:14:40 PMKubrick wanted to make a movie in every genre: a war movie, a historical epic, a crime movie, a comedy, a sci-fi movie, a horror movie... he ended up making a couple of sci-fi and war films, but he did have an ambition to work in every genre. Early on he wanted to make a XXX film but never had the balls (so to speak) to go through with it. EYES WIDE SHUT is as close as he came.
My friend was always upset he never made his Western (he almost did, but he ended up fighting with star Marlon Brando). I agree that a Kubrick Western would have been something to see!
I almost bought the new Criterion Collection edition of EYES WIDE SHUT but decided against it. I just don't think I like the film well enough to but it on disc.

Hilarious!
I only saw it once, in the theaters, and for some reason with my childhood friend and his middle-aged, socially conservative parents, who were unamused.
Kubrick at the end of his life might've been the prisoner of his own compulsions, painstakingly choreographing scenes to the point of self-parody. He apparently forced Kidman to do somewhere in the ballpark of 150-200 takes of the shot early on where she silently flirts with the guy at the party. That shot absolutely feels like the product of 150-200 takes and in no way feels authentic. The other things that stand out most clearly in my mind were the small, indelible performances from Alan Cumming, Rade Serbedjida (or however he spells it), and Leelee Sobieski, all of whom were clearly intent on making the most of their bit of screentime (and were successful). I also remember spending a large part of the film wishing Harvey Keitel and Jennifer Jason Leigh had ended up onscreen in the roles played by Sydney Pollack and whoever. I guess dynamos like those just don't mesh with the immaculate tapestry-like vision of a control freak like Kubrick.
