tonyv Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Any category or genre (drama, comedy, horror, romantic comedy, documentary, animated, insert anything else you can think of here) ... I know this could be hard to narrow down (because there are so many good ones), but is there some movie that somehow defines you? My top favorite is Fargo. I love the setting and the desperation portrayed ...

Thank youuu Aleksandra Quote The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth - Jean Cocteau History of Macedonia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandra Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Bw Tony, I don't agree with you, yes we are partners but I think you should not say ANY genre of movie. You can say all genres, except one, should I say which one?

I now it could be possible to choose one (or several) in every category, but which one stands out the most out of all? Which one is a notch above the rest?

Aleksandra Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 ccc I can't believe what a DOM you are Should we make a competition for that who knows on what I mean I think you should reread the rules of this forum Tony But never mind, it's ok. There is nothing to do if somebody defines with some ( not allowed genre ) movie - in what I don't believe . Tony, you are a clever guy Ok I will try to pick up one - but I don't think that there is any movie what can define me Quote The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth - Jean Cocteau History of Macedonia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksandra Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Ok you clever Dom. I will share my thoughts about one movie, one of my favorite movies. That is the one of the best movies what I have seen. It's old and - I am sure most of you knows - Gone with the wind. I love this movie. I love the scenes of pride from where one comes, when Scarlett O'Hara the heroine of the movie, takes the piece of the ground from her land and promise in that name no more hungriness... Also the end touched me exactly because that from that land comes that energy to handle with all hard things. The movie generally I like it, and I watched this one, many times, but the most what I love inside, is that the source of energy and pride. Sometimes is used on more rude way to get what is needed, but on other hand shows that when you want something really from your heart, or if you have some goal in front of you, you can do it - whatever it is, only with hope and energy. I enjoy this movie. I love it. There it is my answer Tony .

tonyv Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Gone with the Wind is indeed a classic, Alek. It's a wonderful selection for a favorite movie, and, when I think about it, it does seem to epitomize you. I really like your reasons for liking it. I remember watching it as a kid, and I can imagine my mother giving the same answer to my "favorite movie" question.

tonyv Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Ah, Victor, I remember Star Wars. I'm not sure exactly to which episode you are referring, but I can remember seeing the original one in 1977. I was seven, and it was so exciting my parents had to take us to see it on the big screen three times. (I think they liked it, too. ) Tony Quote Here is a link to an index of my works on this site: tonyv's Member Archive topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 my favourite movie? hmm, i have two, actually. the first is 'a room with a view' - a beautiful adaptation of the book, by the same name, written by e.m. foster. i loved and still love this movie as much as when it first came out. it spoke directly to my pubescent sensibilites and planted the seeds of romance and an appreciation for foster's literary work. the film stands as beautifully today as it did in the mid 80's and features the beautiful and brilliant off-beat actress helena bonham-carter in her debut role. the second film i absolutely adore is 'the hours', a clever portrayal of the lives of three women - under-pinned by a common thread exploring the enigma and genius of virgina woolf and her influence upon society - as well as common sensibilities shared by women. nicole kidman stars in the movie and portrays virginia woolf with great flair and sensitivity. she won a much deserved oscar award for this role.

goldenlangur Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Hi Tony, You've lifted the lid off Pandora's box here All time favourite is : Kurosawa's The Seventh Samurai. Others: Tampopo The Cup ( made by a Bhutanese incarnate monk) ET Sholay (A Bollywood blockbuster about bandits) Bandit Queen ( a real life story of a woman who became a bandit in the infamous Chambal valley in India after her husband was murdered and she was gang raped). Phoolan Devi, as she was called later, became a member of the Indian parliament but was killed in some sectarian vendatta. Kieslowski's Three Colours. Unfortunately I've not seen Fargo and many, many other wonderful films. goldenlangur Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying.

Tinker Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I have to jump in, I am a big movie buff. The Cowboys with John Wayne.... an oldy but a goody. The story of a cattle drive made with school boy drovers. I loved this movie which I have on Video and have watched it many times. I want to convert it to DVD. Seven Brides For Seven Brothers Howard Keel and Jane Powell, another old movie, a broadway musical maded into a movie. I have it on DVD and I have now converted my granddaughters to fans of a movie that was made before their parents were born. There are many more but these 2 I will never tire of.
