Last Movie You Saw, Name & Review Movie • Page 268

Been working my way through Bresson films (I'd previously only seen Pickpocket) but Four Nights of a Dreamer has stopped me dead in my tracks. I've watched it three nights in a row.

Never seen anything so alluringly elusive.

 

Au Hasard Balthazar used to be the greatest film of all time. Some of his films really need a good remaster.

The Warriors 5/10!?

 

Coma is such a good, slightly dry, underrated little medical thriller. My mom loved that one growing up.

 

Agreed, figured since I hadn't seen it in over a decade and recently enjoyed revisiting Westworld, I'd give another Crichton film a watch.

 

Giving The Warriors a 5/10 means the rest of the list is void

 

I gasped

I get it's not for everyone but man, it's the rare kind of film that can barely be contained within its own medium. my second time seeing it and I enjoyed it even more than my first

 

Wasteman - 8/10
Pursuit - 6/10
The Bees - 4.5/10
Miyamoto Musashi IV: The Duel at Ichijo-ji Temple - 9/10
Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star - 3/10

 

Dickie Roberts is a 7/10

 

What is better than one Sahara? Two Saharas.

Opposing Force - 6/10
The Man Who Wasn’t There - 9/10
Miyamoto Musashi V: Duel at Ganryu Island - 8/10
Sahara (1983) - 4.5/10
Sahara (2005) - 6.5/10

 

I did not know there were so many Miyamoto Musashi movies.

 

There were nine more even before the 1950s Samurai trilogy, although if you want a single similiar but large series, look no further than the 26-film Zatoichi series.

 

Dragnet - 6/10
Circus World - 7/10
Japanese Godfather - 8/10
Japanese Godfather: Ambition - 8/10
Japanese Godfather: Conclusion - 8/10

 

Have you seen the 1943 Sahara? Wipes the floor with both.

 

Yes, Bogart is great as per usual to watch.

 

Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie

I’d never heard of the show so had no context this except knowing it was from the guy who did BlackBerry and kept hearing hype around it. While I’m not sure it lives up to the “movie of the decade” hype I’ve seen it is still hilarious and clever throughout. Definitely go see it if it’s still playing near you. Go in blind if you can.

 

High Road to China - 7/10
A Chinese Ghost Story - 8/10
The Spy in Black - 7/10
The Passionate Friends - 8/10
A Chinese Ghost Story II - 8/10
