Films

Ok! I love classic film, and i’m always looking for new ones to watch! I’d love to hear your suggestions…

I’ve seen the really big classics, like Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, Singing in the Rain, The Godfather, Wizard of Oz, Lawrence of Arabia, It’s a wonderful life, Vertigo, The African Queen…etc.

I love Hitchock films, if you can reccomend some good ones, that would be great!

My favorite actor is Jimmy Stewart and my favorite actress is Audrey Hepburn.
I’ve seen Jaws and Titanic

My favorite Hitchcock movies (in addition to Vertigo) are
Psycho
Rear Window (Jimmy Stewart)
Dial M for Murder
Rope (Jimmy Stewart–based on a real story)
Strangers on a Train

Other must see classics…
Casablanca
The Maltese Falcon
Sunset Boulevard
The Manchurian Candidate (original)
All About Eve
Chinatown
Double Indemnity
The Lion in Winter
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Breakfast at Tiffany’s (a must-see if you’re an Audrey fan)

Other classics you may like depending on your interests…
Comedies–

Bringing Up Baby
The Quiet Man

Sci-Fi–
The Day the Earth Stood Still
When Worlds Collide
Forbidden Planet
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original)

War of the Worlds (original)
Planet of the Apes

Westerns–

I myself would say in order:

1. Citizen Kane
2. Raging Bull
3. The Godfather Part II
I think Godfather II is superior to 1 by just a little. Still 3 was the weakest.
This doesn’t necessarily mean how much you enjoy the film, but as a hopeful film critic in the making, what are the best from artistic POVs.

not in order…
"Solaris"
"2001 A Space Odyssey"
"The Fountain"

wanted to do the same when vhs was popular but all the people i contacted where too expencive. is it hard to do? how much does the process cost?

You have to get someone who has the equipment to do it. I have some reel to reel tapes made in the 60’s with my dad and uncle playing and singing on them, and have a vinyl album that you can’t buy in cd form but it is just to expensive to get it done.

Good Luck I hope you can find out somewhere it can be done, I would like to know also

What is your favourite film and why please, may give me some ideas, good family films to suit both a 22 year old daughter and myself. You could also add your favorite Thriller and why? They are time passers whilst not very well.

I’m 19, I grew up in the 90s and 2000s. The 90s had some awesome action films, but most critically acclaimed films came out in the 60s and 70s. Which decade had the best, most solid output of film media?

I’m biased of course because I started loving movies in the 90’s

- Pulp Fiction
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
-Terminator 2
- Heat

They kinda serve as landmarks for the decade so yeah 90’s

Here are mine;
1. Peter Pan (2003)
2. Harry Potter 6
3. Mulan
4. Narnia
5. Harry Potter 1
6. Harry Potter 5
7. Narnia; Prince Caspian
8. Pirates of the Carribean
9. The other Harry Potters
10. Beauty and The Beast

Haha, yeah i guess i have a pretty childish film choice, but admit they are AMAZING films.
But anyway, what are yours? x

In no order
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Black Hawk Down
Slumdog Millionaire
Gran Torino
Terminator
No Country For Old Men
The Lion King
Crash

I have managed to burn films from torrent sites on dvd 4.7 G.B dvd+R 120minute but I can watch them on my computer but not on my dvd playing which is annoying.I have 1st burned onto a 8.5G.B dvd+R then via dvd decryptor burned to a normal 4.7 G.B dvd+R and i can play on both my computer and my dvd player but it would be easier if someone can tell me that it is possible to burn directley onto a 4.7 G.B that plays on the dvd player also.Greetings from lee.

WinAvi is the best solution

I’ve checked the internet and the definitions aren’t really clear…please help.

One dimensional means essentially only one thing is happening. Nothing more nothing less.

Pretty much it means if you are reading this somewhere about a movie?

It sucked.

Sub Plot, means other then the main storyline there are little ones happening all around.

It bugs me so much to the point that I feel like leaving Bollywood films behind forever. Women in Bollywood films are shown as beautiful, weak and pathetic, chained to the bloody sink and unable to raise their voice or have an opinion in almost every scenario. What sort of flipping feminism is this that promotes this pathetic type of woman? I must admit that I realise the more recent films do show women in a more positive light but consider how many Bollywood films glorify the Indian woman, showing her as a true heroine for a reason other than falling in love. Exactly – very few. Hollywood films are more diverse, do not glorify the white beautiful woman with all that deviate being cast in negative roles. Ok, rant over – just needed to get that off my chest – women are not mere sex objects

because in eastern culture, that is how women are supposed to be. if women were portrayed as strong and dominant, it would go against that culture and people probably wouldn’t be able to relate to movies like that, therefore nobody would watch them.

Can anyone give me some suggestions of characters in novels/plays/films who hide their emotions (sadness, depression) from their loved ones.

I need it for my Art work at school
Thank you!
