I found The Fountain hard going, so as the Dragons Den guys would say, I'm Out

[Aaaarrrrgggghhhh]

Some films do the artsy things the right way. Melancholia, does at least stick to a singular subject matter throughout & although ponderous it does work quite well.

Again a mood movie, but with a title like that your not really expecting a laugh a minute.


2001 is still the best of this style of film.

2001 Space Odyssey?
Ain't seen that in donkeys, probably the 80's was the last time.

[Andy Hall]

For artsy I go for films like Hero and House Of Flying Daggers, the scenes in those films are just like watching arts of work, stunning

[Beezerk]

The Station Agent is a kin' great film, not full on arty but just enough to stop it being mainstream if you catch my drift.
The Visitor is another, Mr McCarthy don't half knock out a decent film.

[Urinal2001]

ooh, i Netflix'd The Station Agent a few weeks ago, was rather impressed despite it not being at all what i was expecting.

[Slayer-ov-orcs]

I'm going to see Bullet to the Head later, I look forward to it.

Just got back from Django, loved it, though it was 20-30 mins too long

Guy Ritchie vs Tarantino

Who makes better gangster flicks?

[Andy Hall]

Up until Sherlock Holmes, I have never liked Guy Richie's films

[Aaaarrrrgggghhhh]

Tarantino wins, because Guy Ritchie is crap.

Guy Ritchie vs Tarantino

Who makes better gangster flicks?

Based on me watching Lock Stock more than Pulp Fiction because it's more fun I would say Guy Richie.

[Beezerk]

Tarantino wins, because Guy Ritchie is crap.

LOL

There is though an argument that Tarantino is also crap however not as crap as Ritchie.

[Applecore]

I have never sat through and enjoyed a Guy Richie film. However I've never not enjoyed a Tarantino movie.

Tarantino wins. Flawless victory.

[Johnny Tightlips]

Never, ever enjoyed a single Tarantino movie. Loved Lock, Stock so Guy Richie wins for me.
