Phube Posted 10 August 2014 Share Posted 10 August 2014 The one and only film mentioned in the thread that I've never heard of. You need to see, amazing film. Darren Aronofsky about drug abuse... horrendously depressing! Also the source of this tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbS-Zhz31CA&hd=1 As heard on nearly every trailer circa 2000-2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Le Bleu Posted 10 August 2014 Share Posted 10 August 2014 Depending on what music awards you might refer to, for me the gravitas of accolade was lost a long time ago, when sponsors, and industry politics polluted them. You can find more independent awards, like in film, but again dependant on the background of those, can you on paper decide to listen to their recommendations. Again point taken, but in general, the Oscars and Baftas are the biggest awards for film and nominations will have 2-3 properlly good films. The music equivillent would be the Grammys and the Brits and I can't remember the last time I saw nominations for either of those that didn't create a sudden desire to commit violence.

Raw Dykes Posted 10 August 2014 Share Posted 10 August 2014 I think that's it, I personally think they're (not my) style over substance. Really nice style, I mean Mallick's films look lovely, but I just can't enjoy them. .. I loved the ending of Brazil... just the first 95% left me a bit meh. I blame the fact that I genuinely dont have an artistic bone in my body. .. I see! Makes perfect sense now. I don't like to blow my own trumpet (not with my back), but I'm not bad at drawing and painting, and for me, the visuals are the main thing in a film. Maybe these films are style over substance. Maybe style over substance is a slightly unfair phrase. Maybe style is not seperate from substance, but part of it. I consider style just one element of film, along with story, characters, script, etc., with each more or less as important as the others. Maybe it's a shallow thing to say, but I think style can count for everything. I think you can turn even the lamest script into a watchable film, just by getting all the visuals (sets, costumes, graphics, cinematography, everything) right. You need to see, amazing film. Darren Aronofsky about drug abuse... horrendously depressing! Also the source of this tune: As heard on nearly every trailer circa 2000-2003 I'd second this. Seen it twice. I forgot how bleak it was before the second time. Make sure you have some of your favourite comedy lined up to watch after, but it is a great film.

PAPA LAZAROU Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 Casablanca . For fvck sake don't play it again Sam. Utter 1940's tripe , with Bogart mumbling and trying to look mysterious . The stilted dialogue and the camp cameos of Sidney Greenstreet and Peter Lori and Claude Rains. Ingrid Bergman was the only thing worth shagging in the whole film. Now Voyage with Betty Davis . Christ this one really was the pits . With her bulging eyes, p*ss poor script full of emotional incontinence and acting that would put a schools Christmas nativity to shame. And that Kim Carnes can fvck right off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
separator Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 A Clockwork Orange. Not sure if its a 'classic' as such but its over-rated, getting banned is the only reason it was talked about. Enjoyed reading the book though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydos Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 For me a classic film is a a film held up as an example fo great story-telling, good acting and fine cinematography - a film other films should aspire to! Just because things like LOTR are fairly recent, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be considered. That trilogy is another level to a lot of modern films. I think some people like to be a bit hip and say modern stuff isn't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parafox Posted 16 August 2014 Share Posted 16 August 2014 I have never really taken to Casablanca, I'm just not a romantic person. Towering Inferno. Nah, bilge and tripe. The Wizard of Oz. Yawn. (I do get the inherent message in it but it's really overrated). On the other hand, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction both Tarantino films were excellent.

Ozwin Posted 18 August 2014 Share Posted 18 August 2014 Requiem for a Dream is one of those films that genuinely haunt you for a few days after seeing it. The way it's shot, the soundtrack, the obvious messed up interchanging storylines, it's not an easy watch at all. Utterly brilliant in it's own right.

Guest MattP Posted 18 August 2014 Share Posted 18 August 2014 Some very liberal interpretations of the word 'classic' in here. I didn't think 'City of God' was as good as it's made out, think Tarantino's recent stuff hasn't been upto standard of old as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
