What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

One scene that stuck in my mind is when Juliet waits for Tromeo to call, gets bored and horny and calls a phone sex hotline instead. A culturally important representation of the goonette, or the femgooner. Huge for teenage me.

I don't think I have watched this movie in this century

I'm gonna try to revisit it sometime this week....it really is a classic for what it is

Easily one of the greatest films I've ever seen. When the lights went back on in the theater a few people were too traumatized to move.

As J.G. Ballard has it,

Quote:

Though the undisputed genius of popular entertainment, Hollywood has
rarely made a successful war film. The realities of war, which Americans
have totally mastered while they are awake, run counter to everything they
hold dear when they dream. The best war films ever made – Rossellini’s
Open City, the Japanese Fires on the Plain and The Burmese Harp, and the
greatest of them all, Klimov’s Come and See, about partisans fighting the
Germans in Byelorussia, are visions of desolation, meaninglessness and
despair, qualities that are true to war but do nothing for the box office.

If only I could see Open City on the big screen but unfortunately we have other plans for Saturday.

It falls on many "most disturbing film" lists for a reason.

I really don't think I care for your choice in films at all.

Were people not fundamentally different one from another life would be so boring! What does your choice in films tend toward?

Yes, you are definitely right about that. Just a shame we could probably never watch films together.

I tend to go for more kid/young adult films. To me, films outside of those usually add a lot of unnecessary stuff and/or stuff that just isn't interesting at all.

AS IT IS

I have waited 10 years to finally see this.

And I can't lie.....disappointed.

It's not that it's not good....seriously if you know nothing or very little about The Process Church....watch this....it will be very eye opening

And it is a well made documentary.

My issues is that I have been obsessed with the Process for over 20 years and this gave little insight.

My main issue is the very little coverage of Robert and Mary Ann de Grimston....the creators of The Process

I think this subject would much better suit a docuseries just because of the history....this 1:41 minute doc just barely toughed on aspects. Just enough to make me wanting more.

This is an amazing into to the Process and at that I highly suggest it.

SO BE IT

I was convinced it's a poster for a Dennis Hopper film...

Never heard of this cult, despite its apparent intersections with some people I've always been fascinated by. Gen appears several seconds into the documentary. Gonna watch it today
