Topic: Return to the desert island: 10 films Posted: April 06 2007 at 08:08 |
Well, quite easy (yet I couldn't find this thread elsewhere). You just have to list 10 FILMS you should bring about on a desert island.
Here's my list:
- "The Innocents" by Jack Clayton
- "Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes" by Werner Herzog
- "Jeder für sich, Gott gegen alle" by the same guy as above
- "Suspiria" by Dario Argento
- "Il fiore delle Mille e una Notte" by Pier Paolo Pasolini
- "8 1/2" by Federico Fellini
- "The Color Purple" by Stephen Spielberg
- "The Haunting" by Robert Wise
- "Monsters Inc." by ???
- "Some like it Hot" by Billy Wilder
Now it's your turn! Bye Bye

When I exclude the LOTR trilogy, mine are:
- Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf (made in 1966 but i still love the razor sharp dialogues in this movie)
- The English Patient
- Seven Years In Tibet
- Babe
- Jaws
- The Full Monty
- Reservoir Dogs
- Once Upon A Time In The West
- A Clockwork Orange
- Rosemary's Baby
But I would like to choose so many more films (after all on a desert island I think I would need more comedy).
BTW Paolo, I think the director of "Monsters, Inc" is Peter Docter.

Dear Fandango,
can you remember "Soylent Green", when the old man sat on a bicycle and had a lot to do with its dynamo?

Well, I can remember it. With his bicycle he (Edward G. Robinson I think) provided himself with the electricity he needed.
I've seen Soylent Green twice. The first time was about 30 years ago. At the time I was very impressed by this film. A year ago I watched it for the second time. Sadly enough I didn't like it as much as 30 years ago. Maybe I should leave memories like this one in the past.

During a cineforum I let some students (15 to 19 yo) watch "Soylent Green" and they were quite impressed. It was not only the desperate ending, but also scenes such as the rebellion put down with the bulldozers to impress them... and me as well. I find many issues in that film still quite topical.

Yes, you're right about the many issues in the film. It's alarming that these issues (overpopulation, famine, violence, corruption, exhaustion of fossile energy resources) are still actual and even worse in the world of today.
