I can't think of any good ones to do at the moment. You or someone else could take over if that's okay.

Of course you guys do have the Mounties to protect you from any American, orange led invasion.

And Your Favorite Billy Wilder Film Is...?
Sukhov replied to LawrenceA's topic in General Discussions
Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. Totally agree. Found it very dull. -

I saw it and didn't care for it. I'm not really interested in planes/ the story though. Not really much of a Jimmy Stewart fan either. If you're into those kind of stories you might like the whole film. -
Conquest - This fantasy film from Lucio Fulci is a Spanish- Italian- Mexican co-production. This is one of the fantasy films aping off the success of Conan the Barbarian (one of my favorite films). Unfortunately this one doesn't have much of the charm of that film. Jorge Rivero faces off against a witch and werewolf/ zombie men in an ancient fantasy world. While the special effects to this one are very dated I did like some of the cinematography, especially a beautiful shot of the sunrise emerging in a cloudy, misty environment. If you are into cheesy B films, this one is worth a look.

Paul's opinions on popular music and classical music were probably influenced by Theodor Adorno- a left wing philosopher popular among the left wing students of the time. He thought that popular music about protest and uprising "made the unbearable bearable." Paul says something similar in this movie and says he prefers Bach's Concerto in D.

2 or 3 Things I Know About Her is a very good film. Its use of prostitution in middle class Paris to tell about exploitation, strife and war in Vietnam and throughout the world is very good. The film is relevant more today than ever

And the Ship Sails On - In the days before WWI, a funeral is being held for a respectable female opera singer. The boat is taking all the funeral mourners to her home island and of course the mourners are made up of kooks and oddballs in typical Fellini fashion. This isn't Fellini's greatest film but I thought it was very funny and has a touching part where refugees land on the ship and are forced to watch the rich eating through the window. A touching scene that certainly wouldn't be out of place today. If you like Fellini's light and dramatic side, I suggest giving this one a view.

This is what the iMDB says. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039589/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv The poem read by Inspector Temple (Charles Coburn) to Julian Wilde (Cedric Hardwicke) is from "Harmonic du Soir" by Lord Alfred Douglas, not Beaudelaire, despite the fact that he is holding a copy of "Flowers of Evil" (Fleurs du mal), a collection of Beaudelaire's poetry. 7 of 7 found this interesting | Share this

It wasn't actually Baudelaire. The poem Inspector Temple reads is from "Harmonic du Soir" by Lord Alfred Douglas, not Beaudelaire.

I've seen Lured a long time ago but have rewatched it today. Lucy is good in this one (as always) and Karloff gives the film an eery feel. The story and cinematography remind me a lot of Hitchcock's the Lodger which may be intentional. The London sets are very well done too. I thought some of the plot twist was a bit meh.... too but overall an enjoyable film.

Overrated directors / Underrated directors
Sukhov replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
I recognize Godfrey Ho because he made a bunch of cheesy (but fun) Hong Kong ninja films. Very good director. -

My favorite is probably Lost Weekend. My favorite scene is where he is at the symphony and dreaming of dancing alcohol. -
Is the upcoming Irish on Film series too ethnocentric?
Sukhov replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
They did one for Native Americans too a few years ago, I think. Unfortunately they didn't show the cheesy Lone Ranger movie with Michael Horse.
