    • Well if you'd have HEARD me talking, you'd have known straight away! Rutger Hauer sound...
      When the fake daddies are curtailed, we have failed. When their roller coaster tolerance is obliterated, their education funds are taken by Kazakhstani phishers, and their candy bars distributed between the Botswana youth gangs, we have succeeded.

      only seeing 1 (that I remember) it would be Dunkirk.
      I saw Dunkirk in the theater last summer, and I was impressed. Interesting movie structure, with the interlaced (non-sequential) three stories. I definitely give it a thumb's-up as being worth the price of a theater ticket, but I want to see it once or twice more before I make room in my personal all-time top-10 list for it. There's a lot going on in that movie, in very subtle and understated ways. It was obviously a labor of love for the producer-director, and not everyone who sees it is going to love it.
    • it was quite boring for me, that Dunkirk.... nice war story but film was boring....

      I like this war films, random chart (but bold one are the best)

      Stalingrad

    • I know you younger guys all love Inglourious Basterds (note odd actual spelling), but I consider it less of a war film than an over-the-top revenge fantasy.

      And, no, I am not a big fan of Quentin Tarantino. However shiny, well directed and well acted several of them have been, I think Tarantino is basically a pornographer of violence, and his movies have precious little in the way of redeeming substance.

      Yeah I tried watching some of his movies and, while I love pulp fiction, others were just too much of a gore fest to even watch.

    • I guess he will never get back to the "Pulp Fiction" level. Some of his other movies have been nice (I liked "Reservoir Dogs" in particular, but "Ingl.Bast." isn't bad either), but they will never get "classic" status like PF.
