I'm actually surprised by how many I've watched considering how busy I have been doing other things. <br />Hmmmm, I was in a pretty bad mood when I was watching it, so I may have to give it another go.<br />I've always wanted to see Witness for the Prosecution!<br /><br /><b>Nikhat</b> - Haha, that's what I'll be doing in my holidays too!<br />Simon Pegg and Nick Frost=BEST PAIR EVER!<br /><br /><b>Anna</b> - Apparently the book is quite different. I'll have to check it out.<br />I was a bit grossed out by that part, but Danny Boyle does the gross thing quite well!<br />My Man Godfrey is great. I love Carole Lombard!<br /><br /><b>James</b> - I know :( Wanna come for a trip with me to Nitrate Heaven? ;)<br />Haha, I know how you feel. Gone with the Wind is always good to rewatch, though!<br />Yes, I thought it was getting a bit late and I really needed to see Shaun of the Dead! Now I can finally be in on some of the jokes!<br /><br /><b>Robert</b> - I look forward to it!<br />I really liked Hesher too.<br />Shaun of the Dead is definitely the greatest horror/comedy ever!<br />Definitely rewatch Shutter Island, sober. WAAAAAAAY better the second time! (it dragged for me a lot during the first watch, but the time flew by in the second!)<br /><br /><b>Tyler</b> - Same!<br />Gosh...3 hours. That would be torture! I still haven't gotten around to watching Manderlay, but I will one day! And I'll stick that one in my queue.<br />I need to see all of those movies. Although, Intolerance sounds a bit long...<br /><br /><b>Bonjour Tristesse</b> - It sure was! I'm dying to see Melancholia again!Stevee Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284769251750574447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-19017616291707018922011-10-01T18:39:10.814+13:002011-10-01T18:39:10.814+13:00That was a busy month for you!

I love it to bits.<br /><br />If you thought the DOGVILLE you watched was exhausting, you should try the full 3-hour Director's Cut. Can't wait to see which Von Trier you watch next (I'll take this time to recommend one you probably haven't got in your queue, the documentary THE FIVE OBSTRUCTIONS. All kinds of brilliant.)<br /><br />As for what I've been watching, it's been an unhealthy amount of silent movies, many of which I'd seen before, such as: THE BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN, NAPOLEON, INTOLERANCE, BROKEN BLOSSOMS, SEVEN CHANCES and GREED. All great films though, and I have SUNRISE in my sights.Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-30613181011388056572011-10-01T05:14:02.645+13:002011-10-01T05:14:02.645+13:00The Shining - Love it.

Got to see it at the Florida Film Fest a while back.<br /><br />Shaun - Greatest horror/comedy ever?<br /><br />Shutter Island - I've only seen it once and I was border-line drunk. And yet I can't bring myself to rewatch it. Any encouraging words?Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394045103473759585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-81385868878857440342011-10-01T05:00:45.736+13:002011-10-01T05:00:45.736+13:00Unfortunately the *really* uncut version of Freaks...Unfortunately the *really* uncut version of <i>Freaks</i> probably vanished after those first test screenings and is most likely in Nitrate Heaven along with the original ending of <i>The Magnificent Ambersons</i> and the other 30 reels of <i>Greed</i>. That would be quite a find if it ever turned up.<br /><br />Haven't seen <i>Gone With the Wind</i> since I was your age... which was 20 years ago :) I should revisit it one day, I suppose, but there's so many other films I've never seen before that I'd rather see first.<br /><br />As for <i>The Shining</i>, I think history's vindicated Kubrick's film of it over Stephen King's own TV version. And I'm pleased to know someone else has been even later than me at discovering <i>Shaun of the Dead</i>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-29757500389400872632011-10-01T01:58:04.372+13:002011-10-01T01:58:04.372+13:00The Shining was pretty good but considering I read...<i>The Shining</i> was pretty good but considering I read the book first, that kind of spoiled it a bit. (I prefer the book more.)<br /><br />I thought <i>Trainspotting</i> was all right. Too gross for my tastes. (Toilet diving...ewwwww.)<br /><br />As for <i>My Man Godfrey</i>, I haven't seen it but I plan to in the coming week. The main reason being this blogathon:<br /><br />http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/427564.html<br /><br />And I'm done taking space.MovieNut14https://www.blogger.com/profile/17250239873504510289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-14367349363484568092011-10-01T01:56:50.160+13:002011-10-01T01:56:50.160+13:00Woah...again so many films.

Well my holidays start today so I will be going back to my roots and watching 3 films minimum a day :D<br />You have seen some of my favourite films this month- Trainspotting, The Shining and ofcourse Shaun of the Dead. Remember the 15 Questions meme? I totally put my favourite onscreen pairing wrong- it's Simon Pegg and Nick Frost forever.Nikhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10379713171889712078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-21793311679193359362011-10-01T00:24:42.393+13:002011-10-01T00:24:42.393+13:00oh wow stevee either youve been a busy watcher or ...oh wow stevee either youve been a busy watcher or a monthly list just seems like you were busy.<br /><br />it's a shame you didn't think much of everything must go, but i totally can see why you would feel that way despite getting the urge to see it again just a few days after watching it the first time myself.<br /><br />i think the best thing i've seen this month would be TOKYO DRIFTER or WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION in a close second.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.com
