I am turning into that bloke from High Fidelity...*grins*
Ok, just cos my beauteous belly dancing![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
beeej asked:
My Top 5 Films
1. Bladerunner
2. LA Confidential
3. The Star Wars Trilogy (original versions)
4. Grosse Pointe Blanc
5. Fight Club/The LOTR Trilogy
I'm cheating a bit on the last one as I've not settled yet on whether the LOTR films are gonna be in the Top 5 or not. I need longer to assess their impact on me!
You see, when I say, my Top 5 films, I mean the films I can watch over and over, have committed large chunks of dialogue to mind and generally adore. Believe me, you don't wanna *know* the Top 10! *grins*
Oh and before you ask, sadly Highlander got edged out by Fight Club.
Oooh and while I'm talking about films I watched sex, lies and videotape last night with The Ex. I haven't seen that film since I was about 18/19 and wow! I mean seriously, Wow! James Spader *rocks* and what a very clever, well thought out, intelligently handled *adult* film. I thought it was good when I saw it before but I don't think I appreciated just how clever it is until I saw it this time. Certainly if anyone is interested in seeing beautifully executed d/s and powerplay elements in relationships then watch this film. It really sharply punctures the smug married syndrome and highlights all those ghastly common place lies we make to ourselves. Outstanding stuff!
The scene where the cheating husband watches his soon to be ex-wife transform into this in control goddess is just..Guh! Oh
and James Spader is too yummy for words. I want.
So your Top 5?

Re: The Wirrrn's Top 5
OOOooooh Angel Heart! *luvs*. Iloved the book Smilla's Sense of Snow ..what's the film like?

Puny Earthling Primate,
OOOooooh Angel Heart! *luvs*.
-Indeed. Robert DeNiro is the finest Satan to come along until George Dubya.
I oved the book Smilla's Sense of Snow ..what's the film like?
-Lots of people don't like it, but I think it's great. Julia Ormond has Smilla *down*... They fiddle with the book a little- Robert Loggia (Smilla's father) is now American, and Gabriel Byrne's Mechanic isn't as morally nebulous as is the book, but I still love it. Great opening scene, too.
Other great films the Wirrrn demands you check out under penalty of severe chewing:
*John Carpenter's THE FOG and PRINCE OF DARKNESS, KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE, THE JOHNSONS, DARIA: IS IT FALL YET?, SESSION 9, IN THE WINTER DARK, BATTLE ROYALE, FREDDY VS JASON, JEEPERS CREEPERS 2,
BLISS (AUSSIE VERSION 1985); WHALE RIDER
