Only stateside do we see the fickle 'tween' market holding sway, sadly.
It's like watching an old boxer or tennis player. They may not be what they used to be, but the small nostalgic flashes of genius are more than worth the wait.
@Birdleson Didn't you like Eyes Wide Shut or do you just find less impressive than the others?

I'll post a detailed edition on the Kubrick thread I made. A couple things changed since my first ranking.
To me that film is one of the more imaginative animations I have seen.
Paths of Glory is probably my favourite Kubrick film, and is just about the get a blu-ray release from Eureka/Masters of Cinema, can't wait. I'll have to have a WWI triple-bill then, All Quite on the Western Front, Wooden Crosses and PoG. Awesome.
Until now.
The Gold Rush (1925)
City Lights (1931)
The Kid (1921)
What wonderful movies he made. Such a clever man. I found myself thoroughly enjoying each and everyone of them. Still funny, still moving and still utterly watchable. Simply brilliant film making. Hard to imagine some of these are nearing 100 years old. And silent.
It sure is. I find it pleasantly surprising that - especially considering the subject matter - it pretty much manages to avoid the over-sentimentality of many other Spielberg movies. Even that scene at the end: very restrained and much better for it.
You got mail - Meg Ryan in her romcom period is hard to beat, a bloody great movie.
City of Angels - Another Meg Ryan in which she proves to be the heart of the movie.
Please do give the original, Der Himmel über Berlin, a try. It's one of the strongest films I've ever witnessed.
Alias Wings Of Desire (1987). I don't remember if I've seen City Of Angels (possibly, but don't remember anything about it), but I loved the Wim Wenders movie (which I do remember, though not very well) when I saw it back in the early 90s. Another one I should re-watch...
That said you liking the original better, I was watching the US copy and said that Meg Ryan was the heart of the movie.
I am sure the original was better but that was not the subject at hand.
Taken 3 - Liams outing as Mills for the 3rd time feels like Die Hard 3, another direction. Decent action and a decent story with some great action pieces. Enjoyable.
I noticed on Amazon Paths of Glory is now on BD, I will take the DVD I have to work tonight and watch it. I have many of Kubricks films recently bought Dr Strangelove on BD, that along with The Shinning and 2001 are my favourite.
It was merely a suggestion ;)
Hahaha. Great minds and all that. Modern Times and The Great Dictator are the next two on my watch list. Just watching a documentary on Chaplin in the meantime.
