Love this movie. But I didn't find it inspiring - their delusion is sad and depressing. These two guys don't have a chance ...at just about anything.I love this movie. One of the most inspiring movies I've ever seen, and a beautiful study of true friendship.
hmmm... I get not getting that into the story- but for me, this is the most beautifully shot film in the history of film (or at least the movies I've seen), and that makes it an all-timer. New World is probably my least favorite (the "civilized" vs "natural" dialogue was a little too forced, IMO, and I didn't like the coda trip to England)- and I still love it.
Well, I've long thought that the main difference between success and failure isn't usually talent - it's tenacity. And since we know that these guys sold more units than they'd ever imagined, their hard work paid off.Love this movie. But I didn't find it inspiring - their delusion is sad and depressing.

Saintfool will tell you you're wrong. Days of Heaven is Malick's greatest work, he says. I prefer The Lost World.
I thought it was
Me too. I thought it delivered exactly what it promised and what the audience should have expected.I thought it was
Just watched this - its pretty enjoyable. Definitely worth a rental for a quirky, humorous indie flick.
Just watched this, one of the better newer movies I've seen over the past few years.
Totally. :fap:But just for the sets and script, right?I liked Bring It On.
"Days..." does use voice-over narration. I'm really surprised that it isn't getting more love among some of the folks here. Yes, it's a beautiful looking film but it also connects that to the plot. It tells a story with a pretty sparse script and feels almost like a book it its storytelling. It's just lovely and in my top 5 films.
Have you watched it recently? The more classic films I watch the more I realize how dated they seem. Films from the 40s and 50s work for me because the speech patterns and cadences are so far removed from modern films, it's like a completely different genre. But I've been watching more and more films from the 70s lately, and they aren't holding up well.saintfool said:
I've watched it at least once a year for the last 15 years maybe. It's ####### awesome.
"days of heaven" is not like most films.
I dig. I'm not writing off all old movies. There are plenty of them I love. I think that I'd feel different about some of these movies had I seen them when they were first released.
I don't know if you've seen a ton of movies from the 40s and 50s, but I bet I could name some more titles you'd end up liking.
Probably. For me it's so hit and miss that I usually don't want to spend the time to find a good one.For instance, the last one I watched was The Searchers. Didn't like it.
North by Northwest?
Third Man
another top five film for me.
Nope. Terrible ending - primarily because it was so abrupt. Although Eva Marie Saint =
In the watch instantly queue.I'm going to give The Professionals a try before it's out of the Watch Instantly in a couple days.
All right. Those three weren't all inclusive, just off the top of my head. 7S is a pretty good movie.
if you like the professionals then you should give "the wild bunch" a try. peckinpah has a number of interesting, if flawed, movies. his catalog is really hit or miss for me.Nope. Terrible ending - primarily because it was so abrupt. Although Eva Marie Saint =

Night of the Hunter?
I've started on The Wild Bunch a couple of times. Not sure why I didn't finish as it did grab my attention (scorpion vs ants).
Cool character. Bland otherwise.
Not one of my faves- but ok.
how do you feel about movies that were made in 1975? have you seen "mitchell" with john don baker?
It has Merlin Olsen and Linda Evans in it. Might be worth a try.
Actually, based on the description, it sounds AWESOME!
I didn't really care for the Wild Bunch at all. Best older films I've seen recently for the first time have been White Heat and Yojimbo.Wild Bunch had a lot of "shock value" material and just doesn't strike the same chord that it probably did with the audience back then. Women and children getting shot in the streets and that sort of thing.
Picnic at Hanging Rock?
Try Night of the Comet instead.
Loved this movie. I agree that Michael Sheen plays similar characters in most of his movies, but that didn't bother me.
I am bored, so I googled this. There's like 10 movies called Aftermath. I have no idea what you watched but am very curious now.So Im going through netflix last nite and want to watch a short film before bed, so I find Aftermath. Only 32 minutes long and I say that will work, so I decide to watch it.
ummmm, nevermind. I think I found it.I am bored, so I googled this. There's like 10 movies called Aftermath.

:X
Cory Booker is a very likable guy, but I think he gets a tad bit over dramatic at times. A very entertaining documentary. It's refreshing to see a politician visibly upset about some of the injustices they face.
It seemed like he was the only 1 recommending it. If only 1 person likes it and 5 dont, probably not gonna watch it
Depends on your thoughts on Terrance Malick. I think it's worth watching.
it's no different than sergio leone and other spaghetti westerns in that regard. it is certainly violent but really only at the end. what sets it apart is the cast - robert ryan, william holden, warren oates, jack elam, and borgnine - and direction of plot.
Thin Red Line scarred me for life.
I lerve it. Looooaf it. You don't have me on ignore, do you? I just wrote about it at the start of all this... most beautifully filmed movie of all time, IMHO. Well acted, unbelievably directed and art-directed... and as Fool says, good enough story (although I can understand not getting into it) to make this an all-timer... easy top 10 for me.It seemed like he was the only 1 recommending it.

Big fan.
And 
that anyone could hate Clerks.
