No shit, Orlok.
"No, that would be "The Great Train Robbery" a western from 1903."
"The most famous being "A Trip To The Moon" (1902)."
Come on man...
He also said "And out of those 4, Nosferatu is the best.".
And like CaptainViggo, I think that Caligari is slightly better.
Scottmanz answered Rififi, but you description really fits the movie Le Cercle Rouge (1970).
It's Arthur, he says "tapez" (tah-pey), which means "hit" (your feet on the ground).
My first language is French and I can assure you that the wikipedia explanation is 100% correct :
[i]its French title derives from the phrase faire bande à part, which means "to do something apart from the group"[/i]
So it doesn't mean "band of outsiders" per se, but it's probably the best translation possible because "bande à part" is not really a French expression in itself.
"The only reason I knew about it is because of Stanley Kubrick."
Hey, me too! And I'm very glad I did watch it because it's a very peculiar movie.
This is a wonderful post. I'm so glad that this site exists.
You are the real MVP.
I was asking myself the same question as these people. I did a search in the subtitles and found nothing...
Thanks for the excellent explanation.
They only say "Je t'aime" (very banal), not the famous "moi non plus".
Not the inspiration, sorry.
I love the 1937 version better. Maybe because I saw it first, I don't know... It's funnier, and the story is more complete, as we see Esther leaving home at the beginning.
I wondered the same thing as you, but wiki made me realize that it takes influence from other Tati films as well.
From wikipedia : "The film draws much inspiration from the works of Jacques Tati; Bakshi arrives at the party in a Morgan three-wheeler which may suggest Monsieur Hulot's car in Monsieur Hulot's Holiday. However, it was not the same car (Salmson AL3). The entire film storyline is reminiscent of the Royal Garden restaurant sequence of Playtime; and the comedic interaction with inanimate objects and gadgets parallels several of Tati's films, especially Mon Oncle.[11]"
My favorite is the one where his wife tells how she cheated on him. The music is fabulous. And the culmination... with her jumping five stories... wow.
"notably Kubriks Eyes Wide Shut"
This is not true. The composer is Jocelyn Pook.
"Not even the greatest Leone film, as that would easily be Once Upon a Time in the West. But you can say it's the greatest western ever, I don't object to that"
I don't understand your logic, here.
And I also think OUAITW is the best Leone movie... AND the best western ever.
I'm with you. I think OUATITW is the best Western of all-time.
The themes are more important. The characters are more interesting (Tuco was excellent, though). The twist is genius. I'm talking about Harmonica's anecdote from his past. Stuff that send chills down your spine.
And the score!... Morricone outdid himself. It's probably the best, the more poignant movie score in the history of cinema.
"He didn't change his personality when he was turning into the monster he eventually became. "
The whole point of the movie was that the painting would change, but not himself.
These films by the same director are somewhat similar in mood : Le Quai des Brumes and Hôtel du Nord. Excellent films too.
Just watched this part, I think you're right. The way the dog lies down is not the natural movement of a dog. Good catch.
One thing I know is that he was a big Charlie Chaplin fan.
