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?
