My Left Foot is out because the girl is much younger than the women in that one.

Ballad of Jack and Rose? I have not see that one yet, so I'm not quite sure.

Yes, you're quite right. The Ballad of Jack and Rose is a fine little film, that grows on you the more you think about it.

One of THE worst box-office failures of all time, but very high up on my list of all-time greatest movies.

Here's one for all the Tom Waits fans (I know I'm cheating and skipping ahead, but I just got around to watching this movie and I'm completely in love with it.)

A fish is an animal that swims in a brook... *singing*

That's Hudson Hawk, a fantastic film by the same director who made Heathers and Meet the Applegates (yes I'm a fan)

Bingo! I don't know why it took me so long to watch this movie, but I finally did and it was great. Tom Waits is in it, some of the soundtrack is by Gogol Bordello. It's perfect in my eyes

Heh ..... looks like I may have to drag out Tom's ninth grade photo and pass it around again. Snicker.

You know me .... love to bask in reflected glory.

This is my all time fav. I love to wallow in the atmosphere brought about by a movie and this film is exceptional in that respect.
And btw. wristcutters was a great film, very atmospheric, I like films that go looking for love in places where one would least expect it.

Nothing?
The director is a South-Korean. He's acknowledged throughout the world. Won numerous prizes for direction on festivals in Venice, Berlin and others.

It's so familiar, but I can't place it... I want to say I'm a Cyborg, But That's Okay or Lady Vengeance by Chan Wook-Park, but I've got a nagging feeling neither is right.

EDIT: on a related note have you seen the trailer for Park's latest, Thirst? If not I've embedded it below:

Abelturd · 07-15-2009, 02:14 PM

No, I have to dissapoint you, it's not among those you mentioned. Different director.
But the Thirst looks really great, potentially another quality vampire flick and those are rare.

Sparrow · 07-15-2009, 02:20 PM

Is it that horror film about two sisters?

I can't recall the name

- it might have had 'sisters' in the title.
