Here's some movies that if youu haven't seen you need to: (my keyboards busteed sorry for double letters.

Seven Beauties - 1975 - Written and directed by Lina Wertmüller who worked with fellini often. To tell you the truth I perfer this movie to any fellini movie I've seen. It really shows us what it takes for a human being to survive, then makes us wonder if it was worth it. Nominated in 1975 for 4 oscars. It'ss a perfeect blend of comedy, tragedy, llight heartedness, andd darkness of huumanity. IInvolves Italy dduring WWII andd the holocaust.

3 Iron - 2004 - Written and Directed by Ki-duk Kim. The movie contains very few lines, maybe 3 or 4. Yet it is one of the best and most entertaining movies I've seen. It's the story of a man who breaks into peoples houses and lives there for short periods, unnoticed. This did really well in film festivals, and Ki-duk Kim is known as one of the best directors in Korea. After seeing this i would say one of the best directors out there today.

Turtles Can Fly - 2004 - Written and Directed by Bahman Ghobadi. This was one of the first movies to be completed after establishing the new government in Iraq. It's about children refugees who are minesweepers. Won 14 awards at film festivals. It ddeserved muchhh moooore. The children in the mmovvvvvie weree great actors and it was really something special the first time I saw this movie. It is completely flawless.

The Limey - 1999 - Directed by Stephen Soderberg Written by Lem Dobbs. This is about an excon who just got out of prison, and tries to find out what happened to his daughter who wass killed in an automobile accident. This is one of my favorite reevenge stories. It has one of my favorite shots out of any movie. I think yoou'd know it when you saw it. All around great film, with a very slick and meditative visual style. The episodic structure bring you back and forwarth in time as if you were inside the characters head. All in all, this is an inspiring film for anyone who likes to see whats possible with film.

That's it for now... I'll post more movies when I'm not supposed to be working. But see these ASAP. cause your life is lesser without them

Thanks.

The Limey's a good one, but a bit of an excerise for Soderberg. Good director though.

The Limey is an excellent film.

Spoiler: show
In particular, the part in which he's dumped out of the (warehouse?) and, in the same shot, calmly walks back in and kills a couple of henchmen ending with "You tell him, I'm coming!!" :lol:

The Limey is a fucking masterpiece. One of Terence Stamp's best roles ever.

I love how he says his name ("Wilson'). Just his delivery of that simple word in itself is as badass as it comes.

none of you are actually going to rent any of these you're just going to talk about the one you love, and not think "it's on the list of ones i don't know... maybe i'll love those too" i see how it is :P

I'm sorry guys, but this was Stamp's best role:

Image

"No more fuckin' ABBA!"


"That's all this country needs: a cock, in a frock, on a rock."


"Now listen here, you mullet: why don't you light your tampon and blow your box apart, because it's the only bang you're ever gonna get, sweetheart!"

:worthy:

I just don't ever, for the rest of my life, see Terence Stamp as a woman. Thank you and goodnight.
