Thank you to all those that suggested 'The Fountain' I'd downloaded it, but wasn't sure if I wanted to watch it coz of the weak film write up from Sky. I was pleasantly suprised! What a great film!

oh I know that one! both of my nieces are in the worst princess phase right now, and there's just no end to the torture... and why do all of those damn princesses have to SING!?!?

My bro worked as an animator in Spirit! 😏

His daughters cannot stop watching it... so many years after 😞

Metropolis was a good one. And I remember our group used to watch A Bridge Too Far or Midway as a ritual, just before starting a game of Rise & Decline of the Third Reich

i've watched Apocalpse Now lots of times, always the Redux version these days; A Clockwork Orange, 2001, Bladerunner, Dead Man, Donnie Darko, Sin City, Blues Brothers, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, Pan's Labyrinth, The Exorcist, Star Wars IV-VI, LOTR, Kill Bill 1&2, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Trainspotting, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, Fitzcarraldo, Cobra Verde, Fight Club, Mulholland Drive, lots more, too many to mention.

I just saw "There Will Be Blood," (based on the Upton Sinclair novel, "Oil," ) last night and have to say it was my favorite film of the year and possibly the decade. Daniel Day Lewis' performance was riveting. The film is kind of a cross between "Giant," and "Citizen Kane," and traces the beginnings of the oil industry as Lewis' character scratches around in the dirt looking for oil while acquiring more land and wells as he builds his company, literally, from the ground up. As the stakes become higher, and his personal and professional relationships become more complex, the climax comes with his discovery that although he has everything, in the end, he truly has nothing. I highly recommend "There Will Be Blood," if you liked the two previous films mentioned, or period pieces. At 158 minutes, it's kind of long, and although the pacing in the beginning is slow, the film continuously builds momentum. Definitely four stars and worth adding to your DVD collection.

Somebody mentioned The Fountain.

I did not really get this movie. At the end, I thought, well, what was this movie about? It was mostly special effects and I just didn't get it.

It's about life and death. It reflects the view of death during the three phases of life: youth/medieval, middle age/present and older age/future.

At least that's how I see it.

Edit: The effects are done without any CGI (Computer Generated Imagery).

i dont know most of the movies that people are mentioning,
my favourites so far:
amadeus
midnight cowboy
west side story
pulp fiction
dr strangelove
tommy the musical
jesus christ superstar
the man who fell to earth (bowie)
o lucky man ( malcolm mc dowell)
one flew over the cuckoos nest
mars attacks
2001 a space oddessey

Oh, and also "Field of Dreams". It doesn't get any better for a baseball fan from Iowa.
