That's the film with no discernible actors, no dialogue, just a look at a "world in chaos". Set to Phillip Glass music.

44. That it is!
Edited on Fri Feb-19-10 01:47 AM by kentauros
Saw it in the theater four times, then had to make do with a tape from a local PBS broadcast until they were finally able to release it to DVD (problems with the distribution company over "rights" as I recall...)

It's still impressive, thirty years later :D

47. I first saw it on PBS shortly after the Challenger disaster
and I thought that the explosion near the end of the film was the Challenger (as it turned out, it was a test rocket launched during the Gemini program).

The rocket explosion, the shots of the abandoned and destitute buildings (and their occupants), and the controlled demolitions always had a special impact on me.

And no, I wasn't really aware that I was close to 10,000 posts-- and it only took me 9 years to get there. :toast:

49. People still make that mistake with regards to that rocket explosion,
so don't worry about it. NASA blew up a lot of rockets in the beginning years ;)

The music for those segments also makes a big difference in how we perceive it. I know what you mean about how those particular segments feel. A few years ago I bought Powaqqatsi, and found myself on the verge of tears a few times. When I had first seen it when it was released, though I felt the power of it, at the time the plight of the third-world as depicted felt like I was being hit over the head with it. Now that I am older and know better, it hits me in a better and more emotional light :)


9 years?! Well, congratulations for sticking with it so long :toast:

I lurked for a bit, then started posting a few years back. The Lounge is the means by which my post count shot up so fast. This place is an addiction in and of itself!

50. Yes, absolutely, the music used in that context
(abandoned buildings, etc.) is very powerful.

I don't believe I've ever seen Powaqqatsi. I will try to find it somewhere and watch it.

100. Lee Marvin could play a drunk so great.
He was the washed up, drunken ex-gunfighter Kid Shaleen. Don't you remember his horse dragging him side-saddle all over the countryside? Then, there was the classic shot of both he and his horse asleep leaning up against a building. He was equally as funny in 'Paint Your Wagon', the western musical with Clint Eastwood.

I have that image in my mind, but couldn't place it with an actual movie. GUess I'll have to rent the movie and see it in its entirety, as an adult 40 years later.

Edited on Sat Feb-20-10 10:37 PM by BrklynLiberal
He is incoherent..and they stop him..and yell "Don't you know what is going on here??!!!" He looks around..sees the candles at either end of the coffin..and starts singing "Happy Birthday to you.....". I think he may even have blown out the candles.

62. Ooh...I left Love Actually off my list!
I LOVE that movie. Often, movies with such a large, well-known cast, suck (Valentine's Day, He's Just Not That into You). But Love Actually is really quite wonderful. Alan Rickman, Laura Linney, Liam Neeson, and especially Emma Thompson had wonderful, REAL stories. Might have to watch it again real soon.

I also loved Lars and the Real Girl. They took a very unusual topic and made it VERY relatable and moving.

Lastly, I think you are the only other person I know of to have seen Off the Map - another great movie.

:D

116. Haven't seen it in full. Apparently my great uncle is in it (uncredited) as a bartender.
Guess I'd need to see it to verify that. I'm almost ashamed that I haven't seen the whole thing... I finally saw "Citizen Kane" and liked it, appreciated the creativity on several levels, but (simpleton that I am) wasn't blown away. "Stray Dog" blew me away...

My very silly list (in vague order, but first 4 mean the most to me for different reasons):

Smoke Signals
The Bird Cage
Harold and Maude
My Man Godfrey
What The Bleep (Do We Know!?)
The Court Jester
12 Angry Men
The Lion King
Amelie
Hard Day's Night
Johnny English
Dersu (Uzala)
Finding Nemo
HELP!
Casino Royale
(own 10 DVDs, watch 3 online, miss the other 2)

Any movie that has Cary Grant or Danny Kaye or a certain 'mad Russian' in it. (Admittedly, some including the latter can be a bit painful to get through, but loyalty is a thing. I love him.)

Clearly I don't like to laugh. Nor do I have any delight in the absurd.

.
One of my favorite movies -- and definitely my favorite anti-war movie.
.
Set in WWII in the remotest of Greek Islands, it's visually stunning.
.
The picture is of the Italian soldiers "securing" the island dancing
shortly after the Turkish smuggler has introduced them to hashish.

160. None
I usually can't watch a movie more than twice before I get tired of it. I do own movies on DVD, but not because I like to watch them over and over. I buy them when I think they are particularly good and share them with others.

Music, on the other hand, is a different story. I dig mostly new music, but I've got some stuff here that I first discovered 20 years ago.
