What do you think about Spielberg's Schindler's List?
Repo Man
Why not anchovies?
what's your take on Reefer Madness?
Kenneth Pinyan's final movie, I don't remember what it is called.

What do you think about Spielberg's Schindler's List?
Many things: brutal, awe-inspiring, depressing but, at the end, life-affirming where you discover that even someone who wasn't particularly a saint could be a life saver of thousands. Also the presence of South African raised actress Embeth Davidtz and, amidst the horror, a little humor: here I refer to the scene where they get a volunteer drunk to pull his teeth for Schindler's ring. :teddyr:

Repo Man
Good movie, produced by South African Jonathan Wacks. :thumbup:

Michaelangelo in TMNT: "Oh, but no anchovies, OK? You put anchovies on this and you're in trouble, OK?" :teddyr:

I find Steve Coogan a little too intense as a comedian so I haven't seen this.

Loved it: the only time I refused to watch it was when one of our local broadcasters screened it. In color! :buggedout: :buggedout:
As a film archivist, I HATE colourizing films, but it can happen if the film's color is fading (which does happen).

I saw this at a film festival at college: I found it very upsetting.

I haven't seen any of them, nor any of the other remakes of classic 70s / 80s horror films.

That would be Jans Rautenbach's scary, eerie, frightening and funny (yes: funny)
Jannie Totsiens. Once seen, never forgotten and you don't have to understand Afrikaans to understand the movie.

Another 50's classic that I've never seen.

I have to confess that I haven't seen any of those, unfortunately. I've seen some of

Trevor, I would enjoy hearing your opinion about American remakes of other nation's films, such as
THE RING (2002) vs. RINGU (1998)
or
LET ME IN (2008) vs. LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2008)
Not only about the movies themselves, but from your perspective, what do you think of the process of Americanization of these (well done originally) films?

I'm with you on coloring B&W films,Trevor. I remember when we rented a copy of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" that had been "improved" with color....the front characters were in color but the background was still in B&W! We turned off all of the color and watched it the way it was meant to be.

In the 1980s I bought a colorized VHS tape of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (I know, I know, I apologize!) I think I watched in in color once. After that, I always turned down the color on my TV and watched it in glorious B&W.

In short, I detest remakes: I would hate it if anyone made a remake of a SA film. I prefer the originals to remakes anytime, even if I have to read subtitles. RINGU and LET THE RIGHT ONE IN are far better IMO than the remakes.

The only film IMO that looks OK when it was colourised was the 1951 version of what I always like to call
Julius Squeezer: that looked good.

What are your favorite silent films?

What are your favorite silent films?
Those kinds of films that get much better when you put the sound off. :wink: :teddyr:
I once projected D W Griffith's
Intolerance for film students when I started to work here: that cinema organ music nearly drove me nuts, so the next time I screened it without sound and told the lecturer that we had a problem with the speakers. Blessed silence and a good film too.
My favourite silent films are
Napoleon by Abel Gance and the local silent films
De Voortrekkers [The Pathfinders] and
Symbol Of Sacrifice. :smile:
Have you seen Nosferatu (1922)?
Quote from: JaseSF on January 25, 2012, 09:31:18 PM
Have you seen Nosferatu (1922)?
Yes I have: very creepy indeed. Max Schreck was the absolute business as Nosferatu. :buggedout:
I had a conversation once with a person about scary movies and she said she found the original Nosferatu film from 1922 to be the creepiest and most unsettling thing she'd ever watched and said she could never bring herself to rewatch it again. Pretty cool praise I felt for a movie so very old. Few did creepy so well as the German Expressionists.
