Oh dear.

[Destoroyah!]

I don't really have a favorite movie, I have a lot of movies I really enjoy and can watch over and over but couldn't pick one that is my favorite.


Here are some I would recommend:

Dracula 1931 and 1958

Both of them are great, the 58 version would be better if black and white movies aren't your thing but don't expect the effects to be amazing.



3:10 to Yuma



Anchorman

If you haven't already seen this movie then drop everything you are doing and watch it, you won't be able to breathe.




Personally I think there should be a section for things like this, a Film and Television Section or something.

[Insane Pie]

It'd would go under the emo entertainment section.

A sub-section would be nice, though.

[Crispin]

Published section & Favourite films/movies etc.

It's under Poetry & Prose.

[Insane Pie]

It's under Poetry & Prose.

Forgot about that section, damn. Haha.

[Destoroyah!]

I mean't a Sub-Section.

Would be good to have a Sub-Section, it all ends up in the Hangout. Did there not used to be a Section or Sub-Section for it?

How the fuck does a movie fit in a section dedicated to poetry and prose, let alone in a ‘published authors discussion’ sub-section?

My top three:

3. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Robert Ford, who's idolized Jesse James since childhood, tries hard to join the reforming gang of the Missouri outlaw, but gradually becomes resentful of the bandit leader.

2. The Fountain
Spanning over one thousand years, and three parallel stories, The Fountain is a story of love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world.

1. My Dinner with Andre
Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory, apparently playing themselves, share their lives over the course of an evening meal at a restaurant. Gregory, a theatre director from New York, is the more talkative of the pair. He relates to Shawn his tales of dropping out, travelling around the world, and experiencing the variety of ways people live, such as a monk who could balance his entire weight on his fingertips. Shawn listens avidly, but questions the value of Gregory's seeming abandonment of the pragmatic aspects of life.
