Movies that have you fascinated the most!

That makes five. What the heck happened to replicant number six?

Am I disturbed? Or has anyone else been bothered by that?

Blade Runner is a great movie, one of my prefered, I really LOVE that movie. Nonetheless there is a couple of things I don't like:

1) Indeed one replicant is missing. Lets pretend that the police officer is dumb and wanted to say five. Nonetheless, the DVD presents the Director's Cut version, which I like less than the theater version. In the Director's Cut version Deckard dreams of a unicorn (and never tells anyone onscreen); and later the other cop leaves a paper mini-sculpture (what's the word for that?) of a unicorn in his home. All of this, some say, to suggest that Deckard is also a replicant. But I do find this totally dumb, idiot, stupid, nonsense, incoherent, and crap. I want that Deckard is a normal human, and that's it. It doesn't improve the story to suggest that he is maybe a replicant himself. Maybe it's a poor trick to make us think more about replicants being humans? This is lame if it is the case. The movie obviously doesn't need it.

2) Something I did notice: when Deckard is in front of his computer and zooms into a photo. What he sees into the photo is impossible to get from that photo; then he print something different from what he sees on the screen. I have been extremely irritated by this.

In addition to many fine movies already mentioned, I would like to add 3:

The Dark Crystal

Spaceballs

Robot Jox

None of these movies could be called great, but I enjoy them anyhow.

 

[Starman]

I can't believe I forgot American Psycho and American Beauty. Excellent flicks. Two others that I just remembered are The Good Girl and About Schmidt. I was pleasantly surprised with both of these and they both made me sit back and take stock of my life.

Starman

Sorry, but that doesn't work as an explanation for the 6th replicant. Since there are no indications that YouknowWho had escaped. I never really liked that "addition" since the novel has nothing of the sort.

I don't know if he was one of the escaped six, but I thought "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" heavily indicated that he was a replicant. Of course the two works are very different, the movie is based on the novel but isn't a very "faithful" adaption.

I should have added this one to my list. Best Sci-Fi movie ever.

 

[Frostmarrow]

I don't know what it is. It's not a particulary good film. The book is eons better but still...

Dune.

I can watch Dune infinite times.

Did anybody of you watch 'Der Untergang' / 'The Downlfall'? The film fascinated me so much that I almost weekly watch the trailer again. (I'm desperately waiting for the DVD release in march).
I watched it in the cinema, the movie took more than 2 ours, without a break. When the movie ended, everybody remained in their seats and said nothing, just staring at the screen.

When you watch it, you shoud really watch the German version. Germans speaking Englsh just doesn't feel 'right'

Other movies that I watched serveral times and fascinate me:
LOTR
Fight Club
Gladiator
Brotherhood of the Wolves

 

[Hypersmurf]

Dune.

I can watch Dune infinite times.

"Stilgar, do we have wormsign?"
"Usul... we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen!"

This is the movie about the 12 last days of Hitler's life? It seems really interesting, the last days of one of the most horrid tyrant of history. However, i am wondering if this movie is not a little "hard" to see. After all it is about the battle of Berlin, one of the most horrific to have been ever fought.

 

[Qlippoth]

Wow. I can't think of a title to save my life and, lo & behold, 2 are mentioned.

Jacob's Ladder (I've had plenty of conversations with friends immediately after seeing a movie, but all those discussions ended that evening, except for this one); &

Dune (I see the cheesiness, and yet I wish the myth of a 6-hour version were true).

 

[Ghostwind]

John Wayne Westerns. I'm a sucker for them.
Fair Game (it's a popcorn movie - don't think just watch)
Tomb Raider (same as above)
Terminator
