Lord of War .. Nick Cage ... Great movie (saw couple weeks ago 1st time) which explores the whole arms trade from persective of one just getting into the scene ... based on true story .. very powerful IMHO ... great opening sequence .. life of a bullet from creation to end use

Lord Of War is a character driven film, which is something that most people did not expect (they wanted action).

If you can invest in the characters (even though they do horrible things) then the film will satisfy.

I can only tell you I'm not going to be seeing it, but I hate the wooden boy known as Keanu and am not overly anxious to see anyone mess with a beloved Sci-Fi classic. If it turns out to be decent, fine, but I won't check it out until it hits DVD.

To be fair, though, a lifeless, semi-robotic, humorless being from another planet is pretty much the role that Keanu Reeves was born to play.

Whoa.

Interesting looking movie on Saturday morning at 2AM on TCM

Putney Swope (1969)

Any one know anything about it?

Mouth to Mouth or Boca a Boca is a light frothy comedy about an out of work actor who works as a phone sex worker. Javier Bardem is in it and he is HOT! If anything heavy happens in it, I have forgotten it and you can blame that on Javier Bardem's hotness. Yowza!

Putney Swope is famous, or so my dad told me, for being the first X-rated movie. Don't get too excited there is just a little jumping in slow motion while topless. It is a social satire about a black janitor who is made the head of an advertising agency. Hipness ensues. Sort of a precursor to Bamboozled. it is interesting from a movie history point of view. Don't go to work tired because of it.

I was thinking of creating a similar type of thread somewhat like this but not exactly and this seems like such a good idea worth keeping on the front page at least.

I own several DVD's I can't seem to every find a reason or mood to put them on. Any suggestions, anything I should watch right away out of this bunch.

Stay
The Onion Field
Places in the Heart
Whale Rider
The Great Santini
The Fountain
The Greatest Story Ever Told
Grandma`s Boy
Honkytonk Man
Krull

I'd start with The Great Santini. I'm actually shocked that you've never watched it. All the films based on Pat Conroy novels are worth watching. This one has a great story and one of Robert Duvall's best performances, although all the acting is good.

Places in the Heart. Sally Field struggles to keep her family together during the depression. Danny Glover helps her out around the farm drawing the wrath of the Clansmen. John Malkovich moves into her house as a blind boarder. Good drama, great acting, nice story.

Whale rider. A Maori tribe has always passed down from honor of Chief of the tribe to his first born male, however the last son is now a successful artist in the big city and couldn't be bothered. Although he has a little sister who believes it's her destiny to lead the tribe. The grandfather would rather their traditions die out than let a girl become Chief. Good drama and a nice story.

Anyone seen this? Scale of 1 to 10.

From what I know of your taste I'd say The Onion Field and Honkytonk Man should be at the top of that pile, followed by The Great Santini and The Fountain.

Ink's a top notch b-movie.

Anyone seen Buffet froid aka Cold cuts(1979)?

I found Grandma's Boy very funny. Along the lines of Pineapple Express though not as 'out there' plot-wise. It follows this game tester who has to move in with his grandma and he falls in love with this girl from - alright it's a stoner comedy okay! If you smoke weed and play video games you've got no excuse.
