That makes two of us then  .
In seriousness though, voted for Dog Day Afternoon because it's the only one from the list I've seen, so I probably shouldn't have voted but I did anyway.
Have only seen a few Lumet films, Serpico, 12 Angry Men, and Dog Day Afternoon but I've loved all of them.
The Holy Mountain, The French Connection, Blow Up, Slaughterhouse 5, and The Fisher King are all ones I've been wanting to find on dvd for awhile, never have come across them (yet). |
Oh boy you're in for a treat with The Holy Mountain if you ever get your hands on it! I remember your movie poll from a little while back and coupled together with what you generally go for in music and your funny bone, then I think it's probably certain to say that you're going to enjoy the heck out of it. One of the most surreal flicks out there yet also one of the most beautifully staged. Acid, Carl Jung and 'dream states'.

I've wanted to get my hands any Alejandro Jodorowsky film really. I know I'd love'em, anything surreal, strange, or off the wall and I'll probably get some enjoyment out of it.

You've been chosen to go about amending your ways in the old wine shed, where you shall watch these magnificent movies on VHS. No HD television either for you boyo.

Gene Hackman is my dad's fave. I personally love how he's always a bit of an ass hole even when he's one of the good guys. |
He can play arrogance very well. I won't try to name all of his roles that I liked.A particularly good one was in Runaway Jury. That movie had a big name cast but he still stood out. |
He was also hilarious as Lex Luthor. I remember when he got into a fight some years ago with a couple Marines. Apparently kicked their asses. Here's to tough old dudes.

The Fisher King, Midnight Run, Bronson, Fahrenheit, Blowout, better than Manchurian C ? I don't think so my tall urinating friend. And yes Streep is absolutely chilling, maybe her most convincing role. Hillary? More like Sarah Palin on weaponized hallucinogens.

I know...but I honestly don't see it apart from Streep's character being a powerful woman in politics and the short hair.
|
As I recall at the time there was a bit more than that. I ignored that and concentrated on Denzel and Liev and their powerful performances. Jeffery Wright delivered as well. |
Oh yes Wright is brilliant. Paranoia taken to a hole new level. Two more that really deliver stellar performances are Bruno Ganz and Simon McBurney (Atticus Noyle). Ganz' role actually says one of the most memorable lines in the movie. What if all this is a dream and you're still back in Kuwait? By that point the flick has turned so surreal and treacherous that you genuinely believe it is a viable explanation.

Blow Up. I enjoyed Antonioni quite a lot.

Me too Jim. Zabriskie Point was my first venture into his world, and it completely hooked me. There's a warmth and sensuousness to the imagery in his movies - even when it's portraying the exact opposite. Very beautiful and gripping.
