Definitely one of my favourite films of all time and one of the definitive detective stories of our time, everyone is on top of their game here and it's just a masterpiece.
It could be argued that Nicholson has given better performances although I like him here and would regard this one of his best but I don't think he's been in a better film personally, this film is a joy to behold and like Se7en the ending still retains it's power
I was watching the extras on this only recentely and Jack says that Polanski got him to to speed his delivery up and it's noticable, Nicholson is famous for talking quite slowly, Jack says due to amount of dialogue and story it was needed, a nice change from his usual style.
Funnily enough, that's exactly what i thought the last time I saw Dirty Harry. Dalton does almost echo old Clint at times in terms of his mannerisms and expressions.
Also, its well known that the script for LTK was loosely based on YoJimbo, which was of course re-made into A Fistful of Dollars.
I second that one of the best films ever made.
An absolute favorite of mine. Stunning plot that keeps you totally invested in the film from the first scene to the last scene. Nicolas Cage delivers a career defining performance. The soundtrack is phenomenal, as is the supporting cast. Most scenes contain some of the best quotes and dialogues I can think of. The film contains an out-of-this-world intro (the bullet-camera). I was too young when I first discovered the film on the big screen to fully appreciate it, but I knew it was something special. As I get older, and the more I watch it, the film keeps getting better and better.
Krull first time I have watched this in HD looks phenomenal.
Congratulations...
You sir - have impeccable taste
Unusual Cronenberg thriller regarding the Russian underworld in London.
An engrossing film although the film's big revelation does fall a bit flat.
Excellent acting from Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts and Vincent Cassell. But Armin Mueller-Stahl steals the film as the slimy, devious head of the family.
Some over the top gore as you would expect from Cronenberg and featuring a brutal naked fight in a sauna!
Thank you sir :-bd Horner's score is one of his very best.
Best Star Wars film, yes, but it's still way off being the greatest film ever made.
Speaking of the excellent 'Seven', apparently test audiences were so upset at THAT ending, that the makers were going to change it...but Brad Pitt insisted on the original!
The ending in the original Chinatown script had Mrs Mulwray shooting her father dead at the climax. It was Polanski who changed it to the much more tragic ending.
:P
Actually, there is yet another, big screen, re-imagining of Battlestar Galactica in the works.
In the mood for this public domain pre-code Horror flick. Serial killings going on in a town in Germany and vampirism is suspected. With Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray (the same year she did KING KONG), Melvyn Douglas, and Dwight Frye in a Renfield type role.
Feels more like an early murder mystery: static, talky, yet very cool. If only Bela were in this I'd probably pop it in more often.
Get outta town! Really?
Yes, From what I've read it could be set in the original BSG universe.
It might just work.... :-?
I could use some more cinematic scifi. :D
@chrisisall, I loved it. It's my third favorite Star Trek movie. I even got this free poster after seeing it! :-bd
French sci fi/action thriller from 2012. Entertaining enough, nothing groundbreaking.
I was wondering if fans of Denis Villeneuve ( @Creasy47, @DarthDimi, @bondjames, @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 ) could imagine him doing a sequel to this? Only if he had the perfect idea on where to take the story forward. Nicolas Cage's Yuri Orlov is one of my favorite characters, and I'd like to see where he is now, after the ending of 'Lord of War' 11 years ago now. I'm sure Villeneuve would not ruin the original film with the usual Hollywood bullsh*t, meaning Orlov's wife, kid and parents should not appear in this potential sequel, as they are 100% out of his life at the ending of the 2005 film. I'd love to see what kind of intro Villeneuve could think of to rival the bullet-camera one from the 1st film.
