Mel Brooks is a GENIUS and HIGH ANXETY is absolutely brilliant! :-)

Same plotline of people being taken away. Rehash by the same guy.

THE SEVENTH SEAL is, IMO,Bergman's best movie. If you've only seen one of his, you've seen him at his very best. :-)

Right, it is wrong to savage a cult film like Susperia or Donnie Darko which were hardly hits or critically acclaimed films.
If it made $100-300million and got Oscars, then feel free to trash it as overrated junk.

I agree about 2001: A Space Odyssey. Some of those movies I never heard of, so I can't agree that they're overrated.
One that made no sense to me and apparently it did to many others was "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest."
To: Mr. Jeeves
It's great merely for its influence on other movies. And it has more special effects then Star Wars.

Reading the article just confirms the axiom: pan reviews are always more fun to read than raves.

Yes. It's a great film. Truly.

I don't know. I got it via email years ago.

The Lady Vanishes and 39 Steps are reworked on video (Early English v. Hollywood) and the depth that the film historians relate on the DVD "Commentary" option is worth the price. I never realized before what a total art form film can be. The foreshadowing in his angles, the recurring themes from film to film, his commentaries on certain occupations--even spin-off's from his minor characters. I always thought his cameos were interesting--they were the least of it!

For me it is "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." I love Jimmy Stewart, but that ending stunk! I did it, it was me........the end.
To: AnnaZ; Fedora
AnnaZ---love reading your thumbnail reviews. You have real talent for the cinematic.
Disagree on a few----for balletomanes, the Red Shoes is a triumph of story and dance. Will watch it forever on TMC.
But I do agree that An American in Paris is so-so. Just ran on TMC recently.......cannot understand the raves for this pic----could hardly watch it. Translating French impressionists to dance was a ditzy idea.

To: Central Scrutiniser
Oddly enough -- and although Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, and Barton Fink are on my all-time fave list -- I've never seen Lebowski, even though, odder still, the Coen brothers were eating my homemade chocolate chip cookies while filming the bowling scenes. I guess I'll have to catch next year's Fest to make up for it.
