Definitely a fun anime must-see, along the lines of <I>Akira</I>, but without a lot of the disturbing imagery.<BR/><BR/>And how could you all skip my all-time favorite movie, <I>Empire of the Sun</I>? Spielberg at his purest, finest.Salilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00673525667605415975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317566.post-1131487707820183772005-11-08T14:08:00.000-08:002005-11-08T14:08:00.000-08:00I'd love to have a Netflix account right now, but ...I'd love to have a Netflix account right now, but my head is being twisted this way and that (sorry for the lack of explanation - it really is!). Still, here are some picks that you might like:<BR/><BR/>1. Girl on the Bridge (French flick starring the inimitable Vanessa Paradis and craggy-faced Daniel Auteuil)<BR/>2. The Purple Rose of Cairo (the perfect Woody Allen film for movie-lovers, lovers of movies, love in the movies, etc.)<BR/>3. Strictly Ballroom (classic Baz Luhrmann)<BR/>4. The Lady Eve (screwball comedy #1)<BR/>5. It Happened One Night (screwball comedy #2)<BR/>6. Dark City (one of the few sci-fi type flicks I lurve)<BR/>7. Night on Earth (Jim Jarmusch at his best, IMO)<BR/>8. Belle de Jour (another Frenchie great with that face for the ages, Catherine Deneuve, paired with the great surrealist, Luis Bunuel)<BR/>9. The Third Man (cameo Orson Welles appearance nearly steals the show)<BR/>10. Touch of Evil (okay, okay - you can tell I'm a film theory geek, but this Orson Welles'-directed flick is really creepy)<BR/>11. A Room With a View (lush romantic period film from those who know best, Merchant-Ivory-Jhabvala)<BR/>12. and if you haven't seen it, please do because it's so silly it's bound to make you snort outloud: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317566.post-1131480417747084592005-11-08T12:06:00.000-08:002005-11-08T12:06:00.000-08:00I took a look at my old Netflix rentals to try to ...I took a look at my old Netflix rentals to try to come up with some recommendations, and realized that I've disliked most of the movies I've rented recently. But here's what I came up with:<BR/>1. Etre et Avoir (this is really slow, but I loved it.)<BR/>2. Infernal Affairs (I haven't watched a lot of HK thriller-type movies, but I thought this was good.)<BR/>3. The Station Agent<BR/><BR/>These are a few movies that I liked, but that a lot of people would probably hate:<BR/>1. Eulogy<BR/>2. Blowin' Smoke<BR/>3. Elephant<BR/>4. Happy Accidents<BR/>5. Kal Ho Naa Ho<BR/><BR/>If you're looking for TV shows to rent, I love Freaks and Geeks. (I actually own it, if you want to borrow it.)<BR/><BR/>My taste is kind of weird, so sorry if none of this is helpful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317566.post-1131403569557462212005-11-07T14:46:00.000-08:002005-11-07T14:46:00.000-08:00In that case, allow me to recommend The 40-year ol...In that case, allow me to recommend <STRONG>The 40-year old virgin</STRONG> when it comes on Netflix.
