- Favorite Voice-Over Narrations
New MoFo "michaelcorleone" asks: which voice over narrations are your all-time favorites? Believe it or not, Keanu Reeves makes an appearance.
- Here today, gone tomorrow...
A thread about how quickly CGI-laden blockbuster films fade from memory. Paradoxically, numerous other MoFos jump in to remember films they, too, have forgotten. My head hurts.
- Top Films of the Decades
A thread where users can eradicate any hope of productive engagement and construct a list of their 10 favorite films from each decade, dating back to the 1930s. You might need some coffee to participate in this one.
- Random Film Thoughts
Started by MoFo "BobbyB" a few weeks ago, this is the David Lynch of threads, with no discernable topic, purpose, or logical stopping point. Oooo, burn.
Post Spotlight
In this issue's Post Spotlight, native Swede "Pidzilla" provides us with some insight into late director's Ingar Bergman's impact on the Swedish film industry. Here's an excerpt:
Bergman's importance for cinema is undisputed. His importance for the Swedish cinema and film industry is almost impossible to comprehend. Even though he didn't make a movie after 1982 (I'm not counting the televized play Saraband) his name and his work always came up at some point in every important film debate. I remember when Bergman crawled out of his hole and called a film by Lukas Moodysson "the first masterpiece by a young master".... Moodysson doesn't have to worry about getting funds for his projects.... ever again.
