The Official Movie Thread

Apparently along with Days of Being Wild and In the Mood for Love it makes a trilogy.

Watched the extended edition of The Fellowship of the Ring yesterday.

ive had the extended editions of all three for over 5 years but still haven't go around to watching them. Planning on doing it before the 2001 movie poll closes up

 

[Blurry_Dreams]

Don't need to see the extended version
Regular version was good

You really should. The scenes are so well integrated that I have no idea what's additional or not anymore.

Can anybody recommend me any good detective/police procedural films?

 

[no country for old wainds]

inherent vice (2014)
the long goodbye (1973)
lone star (1996)
night moves (1975)
touch of evil (1958)
the crimson kimono (1959)
drug war (2013)
the big heat (1953)

these aren't all exactly typical procedurals but they're all detective (or private detective) movies, and all really good.

 

[CiG]

Thanks guy.

night moves (1975)

Is the modern film a remake or just a coincidental name?

 

[challenge_everything]

Coincidence I believe. I haven't seen the new one, but isn't it a thriller about eco-activists or something?

Good list, seen most of these and will endorse. I'll add:

El Secreto de Sus Ojos (The Secret in Their Eyes) (2009) - in the vein of difficult, obsessional investigations like True Detective, Zodiac etc

The Interview (1998) - Aussie crime drama with Hugo Weaving as the 'unreliable witness/suspect'

The Big Sleep (1946) - Genre-defining noir and the definitive Chandler adaptation.

Immediately catches my interest!

yeah, it's pretty good like most kelly reichardt, but unrelated to the seventies one, which is an arthur penn/gene hackman neo-noir in the vein of chinatown or the long goodbye.

I wholeheartedly adore that movie.

I wholeheartedly adore that movie.

yeah one of my childhood favorites. They used to show this to us all the time in elementary school during "finals" or whatever they were called in elementary... we would take our tests and then go to watch movies in the auditorium for the rest of the day.

 

[CiG]

That sounds amazing. I watched the shit out of it when I was a kid too.
