Talk About Movies: Part 4 - Page 51 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

I watched Midnight Cowboy for the first time last night and thought it was great. John Voight’s raw charisma and kinetic energy is undeniable and a pleasure to watch and the movie is ridiculously edgy and seedy for a film released in the 60s.

Yeh I really liked Get Out but it got a little schlocky at the end. I thought it was hilarious that

Room In Rome https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1263750/
Two women meet on their last day on holiday in Rome and spend a passionate and emotional night together in a hotel room. What starts out as a physical encounter, the two women gradually get more intimate and form a close bond which makes parting the next morning more difficult.
A nicely paced, sensual and compelling love story.

Went to Apollo 11 last night. Very enjoyable, kind of felt like being a little on the inside with the original footage and audio. I also really liked the few times when they put data on the screen.

Then, on the way home, a nearly-full moon had just risen as I was driving eastbound, which I thought was a nice touch.

This week in my two film were on Monday evening When Harry Met Sally . . . and, tonight, F For Fake. And the classes loved both.

I am a little surprised that f is for fake went over well... it's slightly inaccessible for many, let alone the younger generation or without a host and a host of explanation.

I gave them some explanation of what they were going to see, so they were slightly prepared. I'm always surprised by what they find intriguing, too.

This is exactly right. They start perfectly and never let up.

i hope you're not glossing over the actual credit sequence

i've always thought the way the credits are superimposed upon, and integrated with, physical items representing the roles of the individuals was conceptually brilliant and the cinematography is amazing. all of that for a two minute credit scene

Us is another winner for Jordan Peele but I’m going to see it again before I write about it.

Delicatessen is such a masterpiece that was overshadowed by amelie poulain worldwide. Best movie made by Caro and Jeunet.
City of lost children is worth watching as well.

IMO City of Lost Children is the best Caro & Jeunet film.

Yes. When I watch it there's a lag time of a second or so until I snap to what it is I'm seeing. Then I start wondering how they maneuvered the camera...

I was expecting a fun action flick but damn, Triple Threat was bad. Michael Bisping is a UFC legend but he really needs to stay away from acting.

I dont think i'll ever see a action/martial arts movie as good as The Raid movies.

8 1/2 I have no idea what to say about this.

My best shot at plot is a director is making a movie about his life but the movie itself is the movie or something like that. Some sort of cinematic mobius loop. Or maybe it's just about a guy that doesn't have his **** together. I really have no clue.

Really interesting to watch but I couldn't get much farther than that. I'm sure there was all kinds of meanings to everything but someone is going to have to explain it to me.

For those who have seen it what is your take on US? Immediately following viewing I didnt know how to feel or whether I liked it. 1 day later and I haven't been able to stop thinking about the film.
