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.
Have you read the book?

Yes, it's my favorite novel. I wrote about it in college and I know it extremely well. That's why I'm wary of the movie, even though I think Kubrick is the greatest director of all time and everyone says it's great.

I have not read LOLITA.  Without that prejudice, I have a high opinion of that strange film.  I believe there are differences from the novel.  Having read THE SHINING and immediately noticing differences between novel and film, nonetheless KUBRICK seems to do what is necessary to bring his sense of a work to the screen.

I really think comedian Bill Hader should see the movie Honkytonk Man (1982).

ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA


Make sure you watch the uncut version. I saw the theatrical version when it was released to U.S. theaters and much of the movie was incomprehensible. I bought the longer version on DVD and it's excellent.

I NEED to see:

JONATHAN (1970) - It's a vampire movie. I have an "unofficial" DVD (that I bought from Video Search of Miami before they went out of business). The colors are nearly washed out (to the point that it basically looks like a black & white movie) and the picture quality isn't very good. I watched about 30 minutes of it and it's still sitting on my shelf. I'd love to see an official blu-ray release.

I heard it's real real slow.
I have'nt seen it yet either, though I do have an isuue of Marvel's Monsters of the Movies mag from the 70's that had a short write up on it.

I was first introduced to this classic b-movie in 1982 on the old Elvira's Movie Macabre TV show. If you can withstand the godawful movie score, you are left with a surprisingly good movie that had a decent plot; a couple of law enforcement guys in the 1600s or something go to investigate a local village witchfinder general's actions concerning witch hunts and a corrupt governor...or something. What people really cared about when this movie was released was the horrifying torture scenes, which are gory and disturbing and still hold up today. If anything, it's worth it to watch a young Udo Kier early in his movie career.  :cheers:

I actually have never sat through the whole of  the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925).
I just fall asleep. Not because it's BAD! It's just so quite!
