Which of these movies should I watch first?
Took out like 10 movies from the library, all supposed to be really good. Which order would you watch them in, judging from the description and stuff: :mad:
1. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099871/" target="new">Jacob's Ladder:</a> A traumatized Vietnam war veteran finds out that his post-war life isn't what he believes it to be when he's attacked by horned creatures in the subway and his dead son comes to visit him. 2. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056732/" target="new">The Exterminating Angel:</a> After a lavish dinner party, the guests find themselves mysteriously unable to leave the room... 3. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054167/" target="new">Peeping Tom:</a> A young man murders women, using a movie camera to film their dying expressions of terror. 4. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117883/" target="new">Thesis:</a> While doing a thesis about violence, Ángela finds a snuff video where a girl is tortured until death. 5. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047478/" target="new">Seven Samurai:</a> A poor village under attack by bandits recruits seven unemployed samurai to help them defend themselves. #6 of all time on IMDb 6. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022100/" target="new">M:</a> When the police in a German city are unable to catch a child-murderer, other criminals join in the manhunt. #50 of all time on IMDb 7. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071360/" target="new">The Conversation:</a> A paranoid and personally-secretive surveillance expert has a crisis of conscience when he suspects that a couple he is spying on will be murdered. #169 of all time on IMDb 8. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050976/" target="new">The Seventh Seal:</a> A man seeks answers about life, death, and the existance of God as he plays chess against the Grim Reaper during the Black Plague. #97 of all time on IMDb 9. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203166/" target="new">Together:</a> I dunno, the IMDb plot outline is in swedish or something, but it's from the guy who made Fucking Amal and Lilja 4-ever so it has to rule. 10. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0168629/" target="new">Dancer in the Dark:</a> An east European girl goes to America with her young son, expecting it to be like a Hollywood film. Supposed to be real depressing shit. |
Whoa, pretty soon you are going to have seen every movie on the IMDB top 250 list. I've been wanting to see M for quite some time so I would probably choose that.

1.Conversation
2.Jacob's Ladder 3.M Jacob's Ladder - Really fucking good, and pretty scary. Good acting by Tim Robbins. Exterminating Angel - I dunno, I thought this was overrated. I'm not a Bunuel fan, I dunno his movies just don't "click" or whatever with me. Peeping Tom - I saw this a loooong time ago and don't remember much except I liked it okay. Tesis - This RULES. One of the best endings ever Seven Samurai - Don't see it. Its overated crap. Horrible acting M - I love this movie, you might think it's boring, since I've heard you call some older films boring, but this is a classic. Conversation - Easily the best movie listed. Outstanding acting by Gene Hackman and John Cazale :love: Seventh Seal - It's great visually, not really a great movie but worth checking out for the pictures Together - haven't seen Dancer in the dark - This is the saddest movie ever. :( |
K good shit. I love you, Miz.

I just returned 8 other movies.
Freaks - Great. One of my favorite movies ever now. :love: Straw Dogs - Same as above. :love: Repulsion - Was OK. I dunno. Way, way too slow, IMO. Overrated. :o Les Diaboliques - Pretty good. Real predictable though (when watching it today), but still. Wild Strawberries - Meh. Discreet Charm of the Bourgeousie - Kinda disappointed. Expected it to be way better. Rope - Only watched to see how Hitchcock did the 10 min long shots. Meh. Man Bites Dog - Pretty hot concept. OK movie. |
I would watch The Conversation first. Top movie.
Man Bites Dog is a great movie but its banned in Australia so i had to watch a shitty Korean version. Still a good movie though. |
Once were warriors.

K I just saw Jacob's Ladder and Together. Jacob's Ladder was good stuff and Together was amazing. :love:
Lukas Moodysson (director of Together, Lilja 4-ever, and Show Me Love) is like my new favorite filmmaker. :love: All three movies he has made have been amazing. It's like the movies directly cater to my taste or something. He is like the Todd Solondz of Sweden. Amazing shit. |
Dancer in the Dark blows.
|
I read a book called "Revenge of the 47 Samurai," and it was kind of the like Seven Samurai movie. Pretty good book.
|
The magnificent Seven is based on The Seven Samurai if that helps.
|
Peeping Tom rules :love:
|
I think I've seen Thesis before. It was a long time ago though so I can';t remember it too well.
