Suggestions

[edit]

You should see The Godfather films (especially Part II), Scarface, The Usual Suspects, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Citizen Kane and Once Upon A Time in America. These are good films.--Skr15081997 (talk) 13:37, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Skr15081997: Definitely will watch them. Thanks 4 d recommendations. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 15:19, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

April 1 Vidudala

[edit]

If you are interested, please watch this 145-minute-long black comedy film. I'm sure you will not end up hating this film. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 08:40, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pavanjandhyala: Sure. Nenu surely Choostaaru. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 05:22, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nalladhu. Romba santosham. But, since you want to learn Telugu, please keep this in mind. Choodu means watch. And, Choostaru : They will see, Choostamu : We will see, Choostanu : I will see. Now, what should be your reply? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:42, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Pavanjandhyala: Choostanu. Got it. Thanks. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 06:57, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect! But, was my usage of these Tamil words correct? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:59, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Pavanjandhyala: Just "Nalladhu" would do. Good attempt nevertheless. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 07:01, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A seven-year-kid said this word during a conversation last night. When i asked him what was that, he said "Good". Thought this would be apt for responding, but his age made me add that "Romba santosham". Pavanjandhyala (talk) 07:06, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

These ones

[edit]

Have you seen Wanted or Tere Naam. These are the Bollywood versions of Sethu and Pokkiri.--Jilebi2000 (talk) 11:00, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll definitely watch them soon by this week, bro. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 15:57, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also watch Pandithurai. The film is a heart-touching drama, but unfortunately it is unknown to many. - Jilebi2000 (talk) 2:03, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Some more

[edit]

Just glancing through your list. Don't want to overburden you with too many suggestions but these are also vital for your list: Roman Holiday, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino (1995 film), Once Upon a Time in America, Mulholland Drive (film) and Sideways (film). Goodfellas and Once Upon are two of the greatest gangster movies ever made. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:57, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: If you liked Double Indemnity and some of the Hitchock's, here's some more highly recommended older noir/crime films: The Killing, Scarlet Street, Woman in the Window, M (1931 film), Across the Bridge (film), No Way to Treat a Lady, The Maltese Falcon (1941 film), White Heat, Gaslight, Gun Crazy, The Big Heat, Taxi!, Kiss Me Deadly, Dark Passage (reminds me of Vertigo at times), Shoot the Piano Player and Rififi. Plenty to be getting on with now!!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:43, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: Make sure you see all of the above!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:58, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Blofeld: Will surely do, Doc! — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 16:39, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: Have you seen the Dollars Trilogy? If not I'd watch them asap! Clint redefines badass!♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:52, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Blofeld: Will surely do, Doc! I've never watched a Clint Eastwood film in my life! I'll start with the Dollars Trilogy. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 10:19, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Goodfellas and Casino combined probably have over 1000 expletives LOL, you'd be as rich as the Casino if Joe Pesci had a swearbox LOL. Both great films which must be seen asap, especially Goodfellas. Seen Once Upon a Time in America yet? That and Goodfellas came close to the greatest gangster film I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:59, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you love films/Hollywood Ssven2 and Krimuk90, watch The Player (film) asap, it's fantastic! 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, whoever gave it a negative review is a complete twat! It easily enters my top 50 greatest films list.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:53, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Blofeld: So you say Jonathan Rosenbaum is a complete twat and that he can stick his review right up his "bum"? "baum", "bum" get it, doc? LOL — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 07:58, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, I just noticed! Well, he's got nothing on Ebert but who has ;-). I see his point, but I don't think he gets the point of the film! It's one of the best films of the 90s, easily.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:00, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr. Blofeld: I give the film and all the other films you mentioned here a look. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 08:01, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
One of the reasons for its charms is the many references to classic films and classic film posters on the walls. In fact in one scene he goes into the cinema to watch Bicycle Thieves! What do you mean a look? You can't have seen them all already??♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:02, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr. Blofeld: I have hardly seen any of them (except Roman Holiday, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and The Killing). I'll see them all soon enough within these next two weeks. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 09:18, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You can remove all of the brackets from after the films now like (2005).♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:36, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Highly recommend A Patch of Blue, one of the best films of the mid 60s.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:58, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: I've begun expanding Rod Steiger, who I consider one of the greatest actors of all time. You've seen Dr. Zhivago, but I recommend watching No Way to Treat a Lady, Across the Bridge, In The Heat of the Night, Duck You Sucker and The Pawnbroker and you'll see why. Two of those were mentioned above in the general must see anyway haha!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:22, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Blofeld: I've been wanting to watch Across The Bridge and In The Heat of the Night. I'll do so by this week. Best of luck on Steiger. How's it going with Kubrick's article? — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 17:10, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Kubrick later in the summer once it gets cooler. To plough through those heavy books I really need deep concentration! No Way to Treat a Lady is a must see asap one, Steiger's impersonations including a German and an effeminate hairdresser as a serial killer who puts lip stick on his victims are amazing!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:12, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr. Blofeld: Well, once again, best of luck with Kubrick. He really deserves an FA. Any plans on expanding Hitchcock's article? — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 17:15, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart I was planning on, but something like Hitchcock is too big along with the Kubrick one. In the future maybe.. One film I might get up to GA/FA by the end of the year is Sunset Boulevard though, maybe you'd be up for that.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:16, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr. Blofeld: Aah, Grant and Stewart really need expansions (especially Grant's article). As for Sunset Boulevard, I'd very much like to review it. BTW, the way Stewart pronounces Samarkand in It's a Wonderful Life sounded really funny with his thick American accent (being from Pennsylvania). — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 17:24, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you watch enough films, you'll find Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart stand out as perhaps the most "core" Hollywood actors, even more than ones like Bogart, Burt Lancaster, Henry Fonda, Gregory Peck and Spencer Tracy as virtually every film is enjoyable, and they make films even with mediocre scripts a joy to watch. All of those I mentioned should be minimum GA status.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:29, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr. Blofeld: Very true. Also Clark Gable. Equally, actresses like Bergman, Hepburn, Davis, Crawford, Garbo, Monroe, Kelly, Swanson, Hayworth and Colbert as well. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 17:42, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I was planning on getting Liz Taylor or Ava Gardner up to GA sometime, I think few are more iconic than them in our image of old Hollywood. One of my favourites Carole Lombard I've already brought to GA status :-) All of those you mentioned should all be at least GA on here. But to really do most of them justice I need some biographies for each to really research them, and it takes a lot of time.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:49, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr. Blofeld: Doc, I would really like to know which newspapers write articles which have a lot of information on actors and films (like how The Hindu is used in every Tamil film GA.)? — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 17:57, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For the core classic Hollywood articles biographies are almost always the best way to research them, with padding and reviews from The NY and LA Times, Variety etc. Books should be the staple of researching them. When I wrote the Clint Eastwood article a lot of those details weren't yet online. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:09, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr. Blofeld: Thanks for the suggestion, Doc. You might be a bit surprised at my 5/5 star rating of Cleopatra (1963). That was because Elizabeth Taylor practically, IMO, lived the role (as if she were Cleopatra herself). She really was beautiful. BTW, who would you rate as beautiful women and handsome men among the classic hollywood actors? — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 18:35, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Like El Cid, Cleoptra had stunning cinematography but I felt that both films were a disappointment given the quality cast. I preferred The Robe (1953) with an earlier Richard Burton, also one of my favourite actors. That's an epic worth watching, you'll enjoy that. Most beautiful of the classic Hollywood actresses? Maureen O'Hara, Hedy Lamarr, Gene Tierney, Ava Gardner, Vivien Leigh, Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, Gina Lollobrigida, Sophia Loren, Jean Simmons, Elizabeth Taylor, Paulette Goddard, Yvonne de Carlo I think covers most of them haha! Most handsome guys? Probably Rock Hudson, John Gavin, Gregory Peck, Cary Grant and Harry Belafonte I think, Sean Connery and Clint Eastwood too but they weren't "classic Hollywood".♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:49, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Blofeld: To me, my pick would be Kelly, Taylor and Bergman. Among Guys, it would be Peck, Grant and Connery. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 05:22, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you say of all time, obviously there's many 60s stunners like Senta Berger, Ursula Andress, Veronica Carlson, Faye Dunaway, Anita Ekberg, Claudia Cardinale, Catherine Deneuve, Raquel Welch etc. The 60s IMO had the hottest women. I don't think you can get more elegant and graceful that Grace Kelly though, but I think I melt the most at a young Maureen o'Hara![1] [2] [3]! When you hear her soft Irish accent too, you'll fall in love with her like me haha! You can see her young in the great John Ford classic How Green Was My Valley.♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:52, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: Haha I like it :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:26, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Blofeld: LOL! Watched Casino today. F***ING BEAUTIFUL! Especially when Joe Pesci meets up with De Niro in the f***ing desert. (He practically f**ing owned De Niro from 1:52:00 to 1:55:00). Really wish that Pesci didn't f***ing retire from acting. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 09:33, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What I love about Pesci is that he's totally believable. He has that nasty demeanour about him and that sort of volatile temperament you expect on a mobster who can just turn on you and kill you just like that. If you like the Italian mobster type film you'll also enjoy A Bronx Tale and Donnie Brasco (film). White Heat well worth watching too, without the expletives though haha!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:41, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Haha you'll love Liotta's recital of Pesci's letter here LOL. [4].♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:58, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr. Blofeld: Saw it. It was really funny. Here's a really hilarious video from 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag! — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 11:31, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Iddarammayilatho

[edit]

During a glance at your list, i watched the name Iddarammayilatho with a 2.5/5 rating in the "Other Indian films" section. As far as my knowledge about Tamils is concerned, Allu Arjun wasn't too famous back then and now. What prompted you to watch that film? How this happened? Can you please explain. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:38, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pavanjandhyala: I actually got to it through Pokkiri, the Tamil remake of Pokiri, which was a Puri Jagannadh film. I watched Iddarammayilatho for Jagannadh. Also, I came to know about Allu Arjun from watching Vaanam, the Tamil remake of Vedam (Silambarasan played Arjun's role.) So, a collaboration between Arjun and Jagannadh seemed interesting and I wanted to see it. Another fact which made me want to see it was the song "Top Lechipoddi", which was used in many of the awards ceremonies in 2013 and 2014 as well as in dance shows like Jodi Number One. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 15:06, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What made you rate it 2.5? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:08, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Pavanjandhyala: Apart from Brahmi's comedy, Arjun's dance moves and DSP's songs, the film was somewhat confusing and just seem to go on. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 17:10, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I find your rating genuine. Frankly, Brahmanandam was very bad in the film. Arjun's dance and styling, DSP's music and the cinematography were the positives. The dialogue "Matallev Matladukodallev" (No words. No talking.) is almost unheard till this film came out. Rest of the film is a big mess. Despite getting roles of some substance, the female leads do not impress. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 01:50, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, did you watch April 1 Vidudala yet? Also, i suggest you to watch Woody Allen's Annie Hall. It is one of the best comedies ever made. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 05:19, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pavanjandhyala: Still so much great films to see! Annie Hall is up next. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 07:32, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I see you have a very long list of films to be watched yet. And most of them look worth-watching. All the best. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 07:40, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oohalu Gusagusalade

[edit]

I know that your semester has begun and still, you have so many films to watch. Also, April 1 Vidudala does not have subtitles on YouTube and that makes it difficult to you to understand. Once i write the story in detail, you may try to watch it. Now, i am here to suggest you to watch the film Oohalu Gusagusalade with subtitles here. It is an adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac and i hope that you shall watch it in your free time and enjoy the viewing experience.

PS: Do not skip the songs while watching. Yours friendly, Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:52, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

More crime films

[edit]

Really the following must be seen asap!! Gilda, Scarlet Street, Woman in the Window, M (1931 film), Across the Bridge (film), The Maltese Falcon (1941 film), White Heat, Touch of Evil, Gaslight, Gun Crazy, The Big Heat, Taxi!, Kiss Me Deadly, Dark Passage (reminds me of Vertigo at times), Shoot the Piano Player and Rififi.

Get Carter and Straight Time are two of the greatest 70s crime films on the Dirty Harry vein too. If you want something quirky check out Straw Dogs, The Wicker Man and Sleuth (1972 film), the latter of which will leave you wondering if Laurence Olivier was the greatest actor ever. It's the wittiest film I've ever seen I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:19, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I took for granted you'd seen Se7en. One of the greatest crime thrillers ever made!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:48, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Blofeld: Nope. Haven't seen Se7en yet. I'll see it along with the other above mentioned articles soon enough. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 01:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Se7en I'd say is easily in the top 10 best films of the 90s I've seen.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:20, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sven, do watch it. Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and that psychopathic serial killer (don't know his name) will blow you mind. Although this movie is a bit cruel, you'll like it. -- Frankie talk 09:07, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Only Kevin Spacey, one of Hollywood's best actors! See Se7en, American Beauty and Glengarry Glen Ross and you'll agree with me. Glengarry is like the office version of Goodfellas, and almost as sweary and volatile ;-) Se7en and American Beauty are top five material for the 90s I think, Krimuk90 also raves about them, Ab in particular.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:06, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Have you encountered the delights of Jack Lemmon yet? One of the most talented actors of his era for sure. The Apartment, Days of Wine and Roses, Some Like It Hot, The Odd Couple, Save the Tiger, How to Murder Your Wife, Irma la Douce even the dramatic The China Syndrome all superb performances. And Glengarry Glen Ross of course.. Don't want to overburden you with too many suggestions though. So if you want a crime film watch the earlier mentioned ones, if you want a comedy watch a Lemmon film! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:18, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr. Blofeld: Definitely, Doc. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 12:19, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You'll absolutely love Days of Wine and Roses too. Also recommend The Notorious Landlady, a wonderful Lemmon comedy. Another really funny one is It's a Gift which has top 20 rating it's so good!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:27, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Notorious Landlady is really one of Lemmon's funniest, a slow burner though. By the end of it you'll definitely consider it one of his best!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:47, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Song of Sparrows

[edit]

If you haven't watched it yet, try to do so. It is really a feel good film, provided you are sensible enough. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 07:04, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

School films

[edit]

If you enjoyed To Sir, with Love, some more rebellious school films which you might enjoy if.... (the reason why Kubrick made Clockwork Orange with only Malcolm McDowell), Blackboard Jungle, Kes (film). Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939 film) is a brilliant film too, though not rebellious.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:49, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Recommendation

[edit]

A few reccomendations

[edit]

Today, the Makar Sankranti festival ends and in my hometown, i have managed to watch a few films. So, i felt i can recommend a few good films in Telugu which would be less than 20. Watch how many as you can and let me know whether anyone of them would qualify to reach it to your films list. But, if you have watched any of them already, and have forgotten to enter it into that list, let me know that too. Here are they :

At least, 70% of these are available on YouTube in English subtitles for free. For the others, i hope that you can find help from other legal video streaming websites. So, if you are interested, if you have the time, and if these are available, try to watch at least 40% of these. PS: If you want to recommend a few to me, leave a message at my talk page. Since i don't maintain a list, wait for my response if you wish to.

Yours friendly, Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:03, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anastasia

[edit]

No, it is neither based on Cinderella's stepsister, nor a Disney film at all. But you'll agree that it is Disney-like in nearly every every aspect except the studio who made it. Kailash29792 (talk) 12:46, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kailash29792: Obviously it's Disney-like as Don Bluth was a part of the Disney family (like Stitch) before he established his own company as Disney found his stories and concepts to be "too dark". I've been meaning to watch Anastasia and watch I will, soon enough.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 15:51, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Talented Mr. Ripley

[edit]

If ever an authentic and authorised Indian version of this film were made, I'd wish to see any popular veteran star in the lead role. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:50, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kailash29792: Amen to that, brother!  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 14:56, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pillow Talk (film)

[edit]

One of my favourites, highly recommended. A wonderful film to relax to, and the look of the film very Golden Hollywood ;-)Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 07:43, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Emailed ;-)Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 11:27, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2:. There's still entries in my top 50 you've not seen, I get the impression you don't much value my rating system! Obviously you haven't caught the French and Italian neo-realism bug yet! Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 09:50, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Tibetan Prayer: Reserving the best for the last!  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 10:08, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the films have three-four stars though for a very good reason! I'm giving you dozens of good eggs on one plate ;-)Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 10:17, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Tibetan Prayer: Just saw My Man Godfrey. Hilarious, really! Thank you again! Also caught the bloopers. Such language from Lombard! "Son of a b****", "S***". Luckily no F-word, LOL.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 11:25, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, one of my favourites Ssven2, Carole is so neurotic LOL. You'll enjoy Pillow Talk, it's one of the most relaxing/watchable films ever IMO! You can watch it in a foul mood and feel good after watching it ;-)Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 12:17, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Mirror Crack'd

[edit]

You've got to see this one asap, a murder mystery one with a brilliant twist. Luke warm reviews I believe but should be rave ones IMO. Lansbury is terrific. The look of the film is also a big part of its charm, early 50s England I think.Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 16:13, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Tibetan Prayer: Watching Pillow Talk right now. So far, really good! Hudson really takes after Grant! Been meaning to watch The Mirror Crack'd.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 16:27, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Tibetan Prayer: Saw Pillow Talk. Lovely and funny egg! Thank you! "crossed a new frontier" LOL! Indeed.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 17:21, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Ssven2: Glad you enjoyed it! I've seen that film at least a dozen times haha! Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 17:57, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Quicksand (1950 film)

[edit]

@Ssven2: Highly recommended. An underrated, lesser known noir, been a few years since I saw it but you'll love it I think!Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 11:16, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)

[edit]

@Ssven2:, as I know you like the look of "classic" Britain, getting to look at 60s London is one of the major attractions of this series. I very highly recommend you see this, the first episode, you'll be hooked on the series soon enough, there's 26 episodes. I generally don't watch much TV but every episode is a gem, you'll absolutely love it like I do! A detective and his ghost partner who solves crimes together. Cool website too which has worked out all the locations of a lot of episodes!Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 11:47, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: Did you check it out?Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 15:38, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Tibetan Prayer: Will do so tmrw,  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 17:43, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: Just see this, only 45 minutes. See what you think!Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 07:58, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Tibetan Prayer: Not bad. Its quite good. Supernatural Sherlock Holmes-esque in the late 60's.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 09:57, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

French films

[edit]

Still no Renoir classics Boudu Saved From Drowning or The Rules of the Game or Truffaut's The 400 Blows Ssven2?Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 17:16, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Tibetan Prayer: Saving the best for last, buddy.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 06:30, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: Recommend Purple Noon, that's a classic!Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 10:36, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Creepy egg

[edit]

Highly recommend House of Wax (1953 film), quite extraordinary!!Tibetan Prayer ᧾ 19:49, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: Don't know if you can find The One That Got Away (film) online but it's the last truly great adventure thriller I saw, it's a real masterpiece and udnerrated one, so highly recommended.
