    Robert Altman's M*A*S*H!

    Grand Illusion is great. Also Come and See, Downfall, The Great Escape, and Overlord

    I can't really think of much else by Sheen either that I'd highly recommend, but I would definitely recommend Badlands. Terrence Malick's first movie.
  4. Sam Sanchez
    Not a fan of Badlands?

    It's great. Highly recommend checking it out. And while you're at it, not war movies, but the same director has made some other amazing movies: Le Samourai, Le Cercle Rouge, and Bob le Flambeur.

    A few others I'd toss into this actually thinking about it even more (i.e. looking at my collection to jog my memory): Army of Shadows Johnny Got His Gun Fires on the Plain

    I love Full Metal Jacket but it's always been more because of the first half of the film. Even then it would probably be between Full Metal Jacket and The Thin Red Line. I'd also toss in The Battle of Algiers. Not a traditional war film, but if it counts, might be my favorite.

    It's a PS3/Vita exclusive. It's actually made by Sony. The only other option for a baseball game is the MLB 2K series on 360 and PS3 which is terrible.

    Yeah I own a Joseph Losey DVD Box Set from the UK, it's pretty solid. I know he also remade Fritz Lang's M back in the '50s. I don't expect it to be anywhere near as good as M, but have always been curious to check it out.

    I really want to get this game. I desperately wish this was part of the Cross-Buy promotion with Vita. I played MLB 12: The Show on the Vita just about every other day still until today. Might just pick up the PS3 version today or tomorrow and keep playing my MLB 12 on the Vita until I decide to finally update that.

    I actually own the DVD but haven't watched it unfortunately. The one directed by Joseph Losey right?
  12. Sam Sanchez
    Yeah Touch of Evil is great, but Heston is indeed awesomely awkward in that role.

    Love those two Hitchcock movies. Don't know how I forgot Strangers on a Train. I still need to watch The Postman Always Rings Twice. I picked up the Blu-Ray of it last month, should finally get around to it soon. Also, as for Rope, have you seen Compulsion from 1959? Starring Orson Welles and Dean Stockwell. It's based on the same two guys but it's a take on the court case and trial of it.

    Them is great! Speaking of remakes, there's been talks about an Incredible Shrinking Man remake for ages. I can only picture them making this movie a comedy nowadays and that would be terrible. Love the original.

    No problem...Sunset Blvd is definitely a good place to start. Also, two other Billy Wilder noir's Double Indemnity (which I just realized I omitted in my list) and Ace in the Hole would be good follow-ups.
  16. Sam Sanchez
    Sure, here's a few of my favorites: The Big Combo Kiss Me Deadly Night of the Hunter The Night and the City Pickup On South Street The Set-Up The Big Sleep Gun Crazy The Killing (early Stanley Kubrick film) Laura The Maltese Falcon Nightmare Alley Out of the Past In a Lonely Place Shock Corridor Sunset Blvd Sweet Smell of Success White Heat The Third Man Ace in the Hole That should keep you busy. Highly recommend all of those. Also, would recommend a French film called 'Rififi'. It's in French but directed by an American director. Holds up against any of the best of the American noir. There's a 30-minute scene with no dialogue that still manages to be intense as hell.

    I love noir. One of my favorite genres. Don't watch them all the time, but when I get in the mood, I marathon a ton of them.
  18. Sam Sanchez
    Probably DVD. Doesn't catch my interest that much at all, but curious to see what Sam Raimi does with this.

    I've only had three jobs, but my worst was my first job. 6 months at Disneyland, specifically River Belle Terrace.

    I also thought his little tantrum in the jail cell was kind of impressive after reading that the toilet wasn't supposed to break. Just all the physicality in the film of him hitting people and getting hit as it was all real added a bit to his performance and the movie in general. And yeah, I actually thought overall, the film had a ton of comedy it. Way more than I expected it to.

    Completely disagree about The Master though I could easily understand not liking if that's just not your thing. Watched it on Tuesday after picking up the Blu-Ray and it was probably my favorite film of last year. I think Daniel Day-Lewis is probably the best working today, but it's a little baffling how he was the clear cut favorite the whole time for the Oscar for Best Actor for Lincoln over Joaquin Phoenix in The Master. Other movies I watched recently: Frozen - 6/10 Fairly enjoyable thriller that takes place almost entirely on a ski-lift. Cul-de-sac - 7/10 Not among Roman Polanski's best movies but still got some fun out of it. Starring a younger Donald Pleasance. Seance on a Wet Afternoon - 9/10 Great 1960's thriller starring Richard Attenborough and Kim Stanley.

    I had my first son's baby shower thrown on my 21st birthday. Rip-roaring crazy times.

    Reviews have decent which is better than the previews appear. Even at its best, the movie still doesn't look that appealing. With some potentially decent movies being released in March, I'd definitely have to pass with this.
  24. Sam Sanchez
    Looks along the same lines Project X which I heard was terrible. Never for this one. I VERY much hope Stoker opens up near me somewhere in theaters as it's supposed to get a limited release this weekend that way I could have a reason to get to theater. Park Chan-Wook's American debut looks intriguing.

    I finally put an avatar for myself after never doing it on the other site. I'm cool with the change.
