Films you caught later. [Archive]

this one is for the movies you just never got around to seeing, then got on dvd.

for me, I just caught up with Collatteral. dunno how many of you have seen it but I was quite impressed. Michael Mann has a real talent for good camera work, especially with confusing yet exciting action scenes- in particular the fight in the nightclub later in the film.

Tom Cruise was good in his part. casting him as a hitman was interesting to see as he's usually in the role of a charming lover boy or something- here he still has a charm but he uses it to a good effect of thinly veiled willingness to kill everyone in his way. a good peformance methinks.

anyway, whats your films?

Sleepy Hollow, not sure how but it manages to be both gruesome and relaxing at the same time.

The Usual Suspects. Never seen it before, but gotit on DVD the other day anyway, and by jove, it's a fantastic flick

"How can you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?"

Donnie Darko and Goodfellas aswell. Heard good things about them, so I thought I'd pick them up. They were pretty good, also.

Awesome film. Such a great ending if you haven't seen it before. Spacey is awesome throughout.

Also, Titanic. Lame-ish film yeah. But it would be cool to watch in widescreen at the cinema.

I also missed Spiderman :(

Maverick

all the time.

well, since i started the thread in my infinate wisdom, i have since watched 28 days later. I think this got mixed reviews but i liked it. camera work was awesome throughout- it's purposefully jared editing using low res digital cameras. the effect was excellent as it really captured the paranoia effect of the film as a whole.
I dunno if it's supposed to be scary though. lots of it was tense but i never found myself scared. I think they used the 'infected eye view' too much. I could see a good few points that could have scared the shit out of me without that trick.

Ah The Warriors.....I am pleased they made a game so it brings awareness to the movie and see how fan-fucking-tastic it is.

The only movies I've seen at a real movie theatre are Lost in Translation and LotR: Return of the King. Otherwise, every movie I've seen has been on VHS or DVD - The latest, being Shaun of the Dead.

I laughed.

I also missed out on Spider-Man 1 in the cinema.
Didn't think Chronicles of Riddick was worth the money but due to a friend's recommendation I bought it on DVD and enjoyed it a lot - the one liners and how he manages every situation is just enteraining.
Also never saw Hero on a big screen but I got it later on DVD and was totally fascinated (see my sig :D) and then I got the Directors Cut too.
I was too young to watch The Matrix when it was released but got it on VHS and later on DVD.
Then I got some Indy Films on DVD that never got to a cinema near me:
Cypher, Avalon, the Machinist, Equilibrium, Pi

I didn't see The Castle (what I believe to the greates Australian movie ever made) untill years after it was made even though I am a fan of the writers and directors work from TV.

12-11-2005, 09:33 PM

I don't think i've ever bought a film without watching it someplace else first. I've bought films where i've only seen them once or twice but never really properly. Last one I bought like that was The Rock, class film.

Bren

13-11-2005, 09:14 AM

The Crow, i had never watched that until about 4 years ago, and its now my favorite film

Napoleon Dynamite. One weird movie. Plus it has more catchphrases than you can shake a dog at.

That's what I'm talking about

Leon and Pulp Fiction; two of the greatest films ever made and I only watched them a few months ago.

Ditto, I can't believe I hadn't seen pulp earlier, Leon I saw when it was first on TV, brilliant absolutely brilliant. Collateral is another favourite as was Hero and House of Flying Daggers.

Oh and Sin City

And The Last Samurai...

Damn I don't go to the cinema enough.

I just watched Ray. It's a brilliant film despite the slow beginning, and Fox definately deserved his award.
