The MoFos Top 100 of the 90s Countdown - Redux

Re: The MoFos Top 100 of the 90s Countdown - Redux

I don't like Ron Howard films, they're far too Hollywood for me, so Apollo 13 wasn't in the mix.

Three Colours Blue was my #1. I consider it one of the greatest films ever made. The craft,...

Re: Best European films since 1970?

Way too many to mention. There'd be about 300 that I’d recommend so instead will have to do a top 10 off the top of my head.

1. Come and See (if you count Belarus as European)
2. Three Colours...

Re: The MoFos Top 100 of the 90s Countdown - Redux

Veronique was #4 on my list. Incredible film.

I rewatched the Fugitive about a year ago after initially seeing it on release, and I was disappointed. It was full of tropes and bad dialogue....

I nearly bought that last week. I'm using decent sampler with some free and paid synths atm. Plus the plugin Synth1.

That re-score is a very decent effort. Lots of time gone into that.

No, I won't be. But my point is still valid. They'll have a new album out a few years after that I expect. This is when people are correct that artistic integrity gets compromised for money making.

I can guarantee you Rory McIlroy was sweating when he made that play off putt last night. He was mentally and physically totally drained.

Of course it's a sport. These days you have to be pretty fit to compete at the top. See the guns on Bryson Dechambeau that enables him to drive the ball 400 yards.
