No movie will be able to beat Flash Gordon starring Sam Jones in terms of music. This score of this movie (not soundtrack) was made by Queen! One of the greatest rock bands in history actually wrote the music for the whole movie, not just some goody-goody song for the credits.

correct me if im wrong, but didnt queen also scored the movie highlander starring christopher lambert and sean connery? if so, the score and the movie itself is much better than flash gordon - in my opinion.

 

as for seven samurai, alot of memorable scenes from that movie but yes, i agree that the death of kikuchiyo is the probably the most moving. superb performance by the cast, most notably toshiro mifune, giving life to such a complex character. one of my favorite scenes from that movie was when kambei spoke this line to his lieutenant, shichiroji, at the end of the movie:

kambei: again we are defeated, the winner are those farmers, not us

 

btw, anyone seen hero yet?

Comedy movies naman! Personally I love movies by Adam Sandler, the one thing that sucked was "Little Nicky" lang hehe!

 

Some more funny stuff were those Chris Farley ones.

I would have said he's the comic relief in the film but his role goes way deeper than that. He's more of a central character actually.

Great movie. I hope it wins at the Oscars. Favorite fight scene was the one between zhang zi yi and maggie cheung. Lupit ng mga dahon. :wizard:

As far as comedy goes, you will have to see Shaolin Soccer. Walang tatalo dito.

The next preceding post was edited by mistake. Below is the actual text of my reply.

 

 

 

Flash is more campy than Highlander. But for entertainment, Flash is much better to watch all over again. It has all the best lines. Who can forget "Flash, I love you, but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!" Now give me a line from Highlander than can beat that sweetness.

 

I already have the DVD for Highlander but I can't seem to find one for Flash Gordon.

finally, a movie appreciation thread. um, ima try to make this as short as i can coz i really tend to blabber when movies come into topic.

 

all-time favorite movie regardless of genre: The Matrix. when i first saw this movie, i really liked it but it never occured to me that it'll be my favorite movie. it was only when the hype brought about by the internet that i realized that this movie was more complicated than i thought it was. there were so many things about the matrix that it would take a separate thread for the movie to discuss all of it. but i shall give one: neo's real name in the movie Thomas Anderson means a whole damn lot. Thomas was the apostle who doubted Jesus. and Neo doubted the matrix. Anderson translates to "son of man", who is of course Jesus. Jesus was the saviour and so was Neo. He was the one prophecized to save mankind. and NEO if u rearrange the letters becomes ONE... anyways.. there's a lot more. the wachowskis really did a lot of thinking in making this film. im ready to be jacked up for MATRIX RELOADED and MATRIX REVOLUTIONS!

 

and randomly:

 

Forrest Gump - one good funny movie

The Truman Show & Man on the Moon - im a big fan of Jim Carrey and these were really great movies. cant wait to see Bruce Almighty

American Beauty - a drama that's funny or a comedy that makes u cry

Requiem For A Dream - dont do drugs. i dont. i never have and after this movie, i never ever will.

Full Metal Jacket - they should show film this to anyone who wants to join the army

Sixth Sense, Unbreakable & Signs - M Night Shyamalan is one awesome writer/director

Devil's Advocate - and any good movie about hell. Al Pacino was in it which reminds me of:

Scent of A Woman - where is gabrielle anwar now?!

 

and everything that Steven Spielberg did. i know can name more but they jus wont come into mind...

 

favorite WEIRD movie

Memento - guys if u havent seen this movie then see it. it is unlike any movie uv ever watched. the story is told backwards

 

recent movies i watched which were good

Phone Booth

Life of David Gale

13 Conversations About One Thing

 

to the guy who said Shaolin Soccer was good, you're right. Saw that years ago. You should try finding movies starring and/or directed by Stephen Chow. He's the guy from Shaolin Soccer. He's really good. I would also suggest watching Kung Pow: Enter The Fist.

 

dats it for now. i surely will be back on this thread... soon

I'm a Matrix junky.... I watched it 5 times on the big screen.

 

Can't wait for the sequel....

 

I love movies that are deep in meanining and very much philosophical. Also, for movies with very good plots.

Pressured sila ngayon eh. The techniques they used in the first movie revolutionized much of the industry's special effects. They have to come up with something new to top the first film.
