I just watched 'Schindler's List' again after a long hiatus from watching the film. It's truly a great film. I think it was Spielberg's last great film. (Save the first 20 minutes of 'Private Ryan'.)
It doesn't feel right to talk about how beautiful this film is, but it is. There is some great imagery that hits a homerun in this film. There are parts that drag, but he really did something right with this one.
I have seen the film at least 4 times now and missed the shot of Schindler and his wife driving away in concentration camp uniforms. I don't know how I missed that before. I also thought he did a good job showing the progression of characters even the minor ones. There were a lot of people to keep track of and he did it well.
And Liam Neeson is huge! He looks like he's 7 feet tall in this film. :)

We watched Detour last night. Chris missed it at the Cemetery this summer and I wanted him to see it. It really hit me how wonderful it is to see films with a GOOD crowd. While it was great to see again, it just wasn't the same as sharing the experience with a mostly knowledgable and appreciative film crowd.

Now to remove the sad from my heart, I'm watching 'It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World'. Watching Ethel Merman slip on that banana peel makes me laugh every time.
:D

He looks like he plays the cop who suffers

I believe he is a private investigator.

Too bad.

I stand corrected! :blush:

A corrected who suffers!

Detour, schmeetour ... and Hollywoodland?? - -eh, good premise, but the word out on the film is 'meh'.


I'm still recommending "Brick" as the noir du jour.

I tend to get my "Jury" movies mixed up. Is this the one with John Cusack? If so I really enjoyed it. Such a great cast, and they really did keeping you guessing. It was something I just watched one day when it came on HBO, and liked it way more than I was expecting. I do have a bit of a thing for Cusack though, so I figured that had something to do with it.
