Yes, hence why I didn't flood the board with my tears.

I think he means classic 'cult' films rather than classic films

You misspelled V for Vendetta.

I watched some of Fargo last night. It was hilarious.

 

[no country for old wainds]

when the coen brothers aren't doing slapstick screwball nonsense they're always so fucking good. those of you who've only seen the big lebowski and fargo should seriously watch 'no country for old men', 'barton fink', 'the man who wasn't there', 'blood simple', even 'the hudsucker proxy', it's all great. you can get coen dvd collections with a lot of these films on, or at least you can over here.

 

[The Ozzman]

I've been meaning to watch more Coen films. Miller's Crossing was on last night and that was directed by Joel Coen

 

[DarkBliss]

Fargo is excellent. I wasn't really awed by No Country,I should watch it again sometime(have it on DVD)

 

[no country for old wainds]

oh yeah miller's crossing is great as well, i knew id forgotten one.

no country's my favourite film for so many reasons

No Country For Old Men impressed me quite a bit, and I've never been one to be overly fond of movies in general. When it comes to the arts, I've always tended to stick primarily with literature and secondarily to music, but I've been meaning to get into film. It's a vastly uncharted territory for me.

Good Metallica discussion guys.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

You misspelled V for Vendetta.

Pretentious art-faggotry.

i recommend starting with 'the seventh seal' and 'aguirre: the wrath of god', not only gorgeously artistic but metal as fuck. the latter is absolutely incredible actually.

for me the greatest director ever is tarkovsky though, his films are just indescribable, poetry in motion, they'll totally change the way you think about film.
