    @Thunderfinger, if I ever get to see 2001 on a big screen and the copy breaks down, I swear someone will get killed.

    @Shardlake, absolutely, sir. Oldman's Dracula is very close to Stoker's original, much more so anyway than Lugosi's or Lee's. Those two brought a lot of charisma and claimed the part in their own way, but if we're making comparisons to Stoker's novel, then I guess we can't get much better. Incidentally, I also like what Langella, Jordan and Lee (in the Italian film) brought to the part. Udo Kier is where things got weird. :D

    Maybe this will make Ultron a little better. ;)

    "The Last Witch Hunter" starring Vin Diesel and Michael Caine. Not much to write about in the fantasy romp. Still rather see Diesel in the 3rd Riddick movie which i have not watched yet.

    Not able to watch it until later, but does anyone recommend I watch The Deer Hunter (1978)? Generally I'm not a huge fan of war movies, but it does have some of my favorite actors and pretty good ratings. What do you all think of it?

    The Deer Hunter is definitely worth a watch just for De Niro and Walken's Oscar winning performance.

    A film that always resonated with me excellent performances, the score and cinematography are very good.

    I really liked Meryl Streep in The Deer Hunter.

    Not watched The Deer Hunter since it cinema run. But I couldn't get on with it, but it certainly didn't help that where it was shown (local council run cinema) they had been sent an anamorphic print whereas the project just had a standard lens. So everyone was 12foot tall and 6inches wide! Not the best way to see it.

    Runner Runner - great potential and Afflick a decent villain (future Bond bad guy) and I think Timberlake has potential as a decent actor but the script and direction was poor IMHO, never really got going and the pay off never really worked.

    Another 48 Hrs - was ok and Murphy was on decent enough form, but this was on his way to a bit of decline from his 80's stardom. Nolte, as always, was great.

    CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON 1954

    I did a quick Jack Arnold-athon yesterday. Revenge of the Creature and The Incredible Shrinking Man plus the one named above.

    Needless to say, Black Lagoon is a timeless classic and the prototype for so many future "monster" movies. The movie holds up perfectly in High Definition and 3D, and it's an original 3D movie as it was shot in 3D back then. The creature's costume is a work of art, unrivalled almost really.
    Julie Adams who is the lead actress was stunningly beautiful. Of course later she became Eve Simpson in Murder, She Wrote, one of my most beloved side-characters of all time in a TV-Show and she still was looking good!

    Incredible Shrinking Man may just be Arnold's masterpiece. Everything is just bloody brilliant and the special effects are fantastic. Only in the few scenes where the lead actor is put on the film artificially running across the screen don't look so good in High Definition. But that's a minor complaint regarding the master work done by the set department who build larger than life furniture, tableware or scissors.
    Furthermore Shrinking Man has one of the best endings to any movie I've ever seen.

    I got a fabulous steelbook of Creature, sadly Shrinking Man didn't get that treatment.

    It's an excellent film. Some great acting, real tension.

    Also, it isn t first and foremost a war movie. That is just part of the story, although a very important one.

    I'll give it a go then. I'll return with a short review.

    @FoxRox, looking forward to it. I finally saw 'The Deer Hunter' a few years back and really enjoyed it.

    @Crazysoul95, how did you arrive at that number, do you keep a lifelong tally? I wouldn't even know where to begin trying to come up with how many different, full-length movies I've seen.

    Since 2011, I've been writing down every film I watch in a book (well, three books at this point), because I wanted to know how many films I watch on average every year. I merely write down title, date of viewing, director, year of release and a score (/5). :-) It's not quite the same thing as knowing how many films you've seen, but I guess it's something. :)

    According to Listal, I have seen 737 films. But I know that there are more that I have watched, but haven't got around to adding them to my watched list. So let's say at least 737.

    I've tried sort of the same thing for the year: every time I watch a movie, I write down the name, date, and method of viewing. Just hit 150 movies today for the year so far, as sad as it is, though plenty of them are movies I've watched countlessly. Only 41/150 have been movies I've seen for the first time.

    For every movie I have taken my son to see in the cinema, I have given him the ticket to keep. Except for the very first one, THE CAT IN THE HAT.

    My father used to do exactly the same and I was following him in his paths... I've been writing them down in copy books since 2006 (if I remember correctly, it was like 40 films a year) up until 2012 when I moved out to another house... And my copy book was lost... So, I stopped.

    I keep all mine, too, minus a few I misplaced as a kid. My very first one is for 'South Park: The Movie,' went to see it at the ripe age of eight years old with my Dad and spent the entire movie crying from laughing.

    I fricking love Jack Arnold! CREATURE and SHRINKING are lifelong favorites.

    Didn't realise that you are a fan :)

    Jack Arnold's movies were amongst the first movies I was allowed to watch on TV back in the mid-eighties. Before 1983 I really hadn't seen any movie except for Disney at the cinema.
    It's entirely possible that Creature, Shrinking Man, Outer Space etc. are amongst the first 20 movies I had seen outside Disney. Also Yentl, Octopussy, Hello Dolly, The Thrill Of It All belong to those first movie experiences.
    That's why I'm such a Barbra, Doris, Jack Arnold and musical movies fan, I guess. Also Charlie Chan movies was the first movie-series I ever saw, hence I'm the biggest Charlie Chan fan and happily own all of them on DVD (Oland, Toler and Winters).

    @DarthDimi

    I'm writing down everything that I watch (episodes of TV-Shows, movies, cinema) since 1997.
    11 years ago I put it all into a numbers (mac) file and still keeping track of everything I watch.
    Furthermore I have an inventory list as well for movies and TV-Shows.

    It looks like this:

    Me too. Incredible Shrinking Man was the first movie I ever watched all the way through at 5 years old. The spider fight scared the s**t out of me. Richard Matheson wrote it based on his novel.

    @Creasy47, I rate everything i watch on my IMDB account. I have 1457 ratings there. Most of them are for full length movies. Movies i watched when i was little or can't remember too much of i haven't rated. Therefore i assume i would be at maybe 1550 different movies perhaps.

    My ratings in categorys:

    Documentary (12)
    Feature Film (1412)
    Mini-Series (3)
    Short Film (12)
    TV Episode (1) (Casino Royale 1954)
    TV Movie (7)
    TV Series (6)
    Video (4)

    Edit: You can also see how many movies from each genre and year you have watched, it is quite brilliant.

    "No Escape" Starring Owen Wilson, Lake Bell and Pierce Brosnan. Pretty good i thought and certainly did not pan out how i thought the movie would.

    I don't think it makes him better. If anything, I can imagine him saying those things in the real movie! :P

    @Birdleson, have you seen Plein soleil (1960)? If yes, then what did you think of it?
