Thanks for the names of a few I hadn't heard of..I'm going to see if they are available at blockbuster on line...
I did see M.Klein and really enjoyed his performance..the end was so strange I had to rewind and watch it again.
Funny thing Un Cercle Rouge is on my table right now..Hope to be able to watch it this weekend
Thanks again for the names of those movies

Belleville (Reply to this comment)
by Stephen_Murray,  in Movies
I strike you as someone craving family fare? I can do dark, as a number of classic noirs on my list of epinions and my list of 2005 movies shows. It would be boring if we always agreed. Sometimes, I don't even agree with myself (that is, change my mind, but this was not one of the movies that stayed and improved in memory).

Todd Haynes (Reply to this comment)
by Stephen_Murray, in Movies
made one of the worst movies I've ever seen (though, since I walked out on it, I only saw part of it), "Poison." As much as I adore Julianne Moore, she needs something to do, and I thought "Safe" was a self-indulgent bore. But I don't get much from Mike Leigh movies, and am quite willing to believe that tastes differ.

Alain Delon (Reply to this comment)
by Stephen_Murray, in Movies
I fell in love with Alain Delon in English (and, indeed, in an update of Les Miserables movie set in San Francisco) in "Once a Thief" and in a part quite different from any other one I've seen as an Amalfi Coast gigolo in "The Yellow Rolls Royce," but his greatest roles were in three Melville films (Le Samouraļ, Un Cercle Rouge, Un Flic), and two Visconti ones (Rocco and his Brothers, The Leopard), though he was also a compelling Tom Ripley in "Le Plein Soleil" and a stockbroker in Antoniono's bleak "L'eclisse" and a perplexed victim in Losey's "M. Klein." The hitman in "Le Samouraļ" is quintissential tough guy of few words Delon).

Safe... (Reply to this comment)
by thevoid99
Great list of the films you've seen. I just saw Safe again last month and the film to me now resonates more than ever. It's one of the films that inspired me to write the becoming and I understand Haynes' elliptical pacing approach since it wasn't trying to be a conventional film. I know that it was slow but I think it was Hayne's intention for the film to be slow. I'm sorry you didn't like it but it's cool.

Amazing! (Reply to this comment)
by mike.holmes
What a fantastic list! Must have taken a more than a little while to compile it. My only disagreement is with "The Three Sisters of Bellville" but that's mainly because I really liked the music (which was jazz for the most part) and the bizarre animation. But, I guess we can't agree on everything. Anyway, thanks for the excellent review.

Another interesting read (Reply to this comment)
by ChrisJarmick
Not surprised about your reaction to A Christmas Story. If I saw it for the first time today it is definitely a blown up t.v. sitcom with a few good moments. I think more of it than that however.
I am surprised you did not respond to TRIPLETS more than you did. Perhaps you were expecting a family film geared more to children I don't know.
Fascinating journey through your month's film-watching.
