Vulgar


I seen VULGER- you ain't missing nothing.

AJ- I haven't seen any Bergman films either. I tried one once; Liv Ullman was in it. Ugh. I heard that LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT was inspired by Ingmar's WILD STRAWBERRIES!
I seen Lars Von Trier's the IDIOT'S, which is a weird movie...yeah... I can see why he likes the idea of jerking off. Most of his films are mental jerking off on his part. Not so much for me. I think he's a moron.

Of course I like TEENAGE ZOMBIES...so- what do I know?
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

The Warriors (1979). Never seen except for bits and pieces over the years.

I absolutely adored Antichrist and I've heard good thing about Trier's early works. But yeah, he is kinda dumb.
The "Okay, I'm a Nazi" incident at Cannes made that clear. I've also heard his newer movies like Nymphomaniac and The House The Jack Built were basically just Lars giving himself a blowjob.

In general I have mixed feelings on him. He can make brilliant films but his ego seems to be getting in the way a lot.

I never watched any of the classic Universal monster movies. In fact, the only Bela Lugosi movie that I've watched is BRIDE OF THE MONSTER, and it's the MST3K version. PHANTOM CREEPS was also present in the show so I did see that too.

I haven't fully watched PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, I actually had to turn it off after a while because I was bored out of my skull.

I still need to see...
The Producers (2005)
The Bourne Identity (2002)
Blade Runner (1982)

Outta these?  BLADE RUNNER is the only one you need to see.  Music by VANGELIS.  That is a favorite.

The BERGMAN film that inspired LAST HOUSE was THE VIRGIN SPRING, which is horrible and wonderful.  Both are rape/murder stories so I only watched either one just once.  

WILD STRAWBERRIES
is also wonderful and eerie.  THE SEVENTH SEAL is challenging because of its reputation; it's in fact wonderfully lyric, another one of those "motionless" films that mesmerize me.

I've been told I need to watch 12 Years a Slave.... but I have no desire to see something that depressing

For Lugosi, try the RAVEN (1935), WHITE ZOMBIE, or DRACULA.
As for the Universal monsters- the BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN is a must see!

I'd replace THE RAVEN with THE BLACK CAT---the best Karloff + Lugosi film.  :thumbup: :thumbup: on BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, but might as well see FRANKENSTEIN first while you're at it.

Movies I need to see? Some really obscure/rare ones, like SON OF THE WHITE MARE or ANGEL'S EGG.
Some of the very oldest Surrealist movies.
BIRDEMIC, I guess.
ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA
LOLITA
YOJIMBO
THE THIRD MAN

I need to take out that copy of "1001 Movies to See Before You Die" and mark off the one's I've seen. (Though quite honestly I could die happily without seeing at least 25% of those suggestions.)

Thanks both of you for the tips.

By the way, BIRDEMIC is something that has to be seen to be believed. It's not just a movie, it's more like an incredible event that defies logic, like being abducted by aliens or talking to a ghost.

Birdermic 2 is just as enjoyable for the same insane reason.

I haven't watched BIRDEMIC 2 but, as far as I know, it's more like tongue in cheek, because the director basically gained huge reputation because of how awful was his first movie, and then he made the second fully knowing this. The first one was more like a beatiful accident, I believe.

Add BIRDEMIC 2 to the list of of this thread, too.  :tongueout:

No. I NEED to see them.

I've sort of avoided LOLITA out of fear that it won't live up to my hopes/expectations.
