Lol, I just watched Escape from L.A., which makes the first film look like a masterpiece.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-56236479176267233052015-12-03T00:52:06.130-08:002015-12-03T00:52:06.130-08:00@Chip: Yes, those films are fun.

The first Hobbit film resonated with me emotionally, the 2nd and 3rd films I felt detached towards. I agree Terribly Happy is good. I’ll see if I can track down Just Another Love StoryChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-26336170753362275612015-12-02T09:33:42.388-08:002015-12-02T09:33:42.388-08:00Escape from New York and Ferris Bueller's Day ...Escape from New York and Ferris Bueller's Day Off are both a lot of fun.<br /><br />The reason to see Patton, to me, is for Scott's performance.<br /><br />I liked the second Hobbit movie the best of the trilogy, actually, but I do agree the third was the least of them.<br /><br />Frency didn't do much for me. It seemed like it was mostly done to allow Hitchcock to explore more freely the sexual urges that drove a lot of his characters.<br /><br />I saw Terribly Happy on a recommendation and I liked it. If you want another relatively modern Danish film that I really liked that was Just Another Love Story.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-15940694500544056622015-12-01T11:33:22.841-08:002015-12-01T11:33:22.841-08:00@Wendell: haha, for music, we’re talking years ins...@Wendell: haha, for music, we’re talking years instead of weeks :) There are days when I think the 80s was the best decade for film, though I know the 70s is more esteemed by the critics.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-82440513169910477922015-12-01T10:44:43.209-08:002015-12-01T10:44:43.209-08:00Lots of 80s goodness, here.

Nice to discover stuff from the book!

The acting is good though and it would make a good, though downbeat double feature with Lost Weekend.<br />Sadly I am out of touch with newer Danish movies.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.com
