![]() I have to say that indeed, it was quite funny and strongly reminded me of Buster Keaton, but my only complaint would be that I find Etaix's characters, in both movies, and self-centered and egoistical, which prevented me to really feel for what was happenning to him. But that's only me, and is in the end only a minor complaint. |

I know these posts just keep building and building someday's. But Yeah I too enjoyed Le Bete(after that first scene was over anyway). It's a well made film, it's just a little strange but nothing wrong with that.

This as been happening for a few years now to me. With every release mostly just in 3D in theaters I just don't go in theaters at all. I saw only two movies in theaters last year

Ok, so today I'm gonna be blind buying either Thin Red Line or Badlands. Which would you guys recommend out of the two for a blind buy? The trailer for Badlands really intrigues me and has really good reviews on metacritic while the only thing that intrigues me about Thin Red Line is the amazing group of actors in the movie. It also doesn't have as good of reviews as Badlands so I'm kind of stuck on what to get.

But if it were up to me (and I had the cash), I'd pick both of them up in a heartbeat. ![]() |

Thanks for the input! I'm leaning towards Badlands but I'll just wait and see if I can get a couple more opinions before I decide. Last edited by JohnWayne; 04-04-2013 at 12:07 PM. |

Anyway, I recommend Badlands out of the two, but only by a slim margin, because they are both essential films. The Thin Red Line was not treated fairly when it opened in theaters, because people were comparing it to Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan. I was the only one out of my circle of friends who enjoyed the movie at the time. This may be the reason for the disparity in reviews, although many of the better critics loved the film. |

Thanks for your input, I haven't even seen Saving Private Ryan (I know crazy), so I'm thinking I should definately watch TRL before I watch SPR. |

![]() Apocalypse Now, Saving Private Ryan, The Thin Red Line, Letters from Iwo Jima, and City of Life and Death -- my five favorite war films of all-time. I believe you've already seen Apocalypse Now, so I highly recommend the others. ![]() |

I know, I know, I'm a little behind on my war movies, I'm only 20 years old so cut me some slack. I've just been getting into movies recently so I'll catch up eventually. And yes, I have already seen Apocalypse Now, its the first war movie I've ever watched and I really what got me into watching war movies. Out of all three war films I've watched, I would rank them in this order. Apocalypse Now first, Platoon second, and Full Metal Jacket 3rd.

Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan is both a wondrous and horrific film that really brings the chaos of D-Day to the screen in a way that present-day viewers never imagined possible. The first 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan are mind-blowing and unforgettable. It's a strong movie in the Spielberg canon that illustrates his talents for defining characters by their actions as much as by their dialogue. I like The Thin Red Line better, simply because of its massive cinematic scope, but Saving Private Ryan is a fine film for the ages. I recently watched my Blu-ray of Apocalypse Now and was hugely impressed by the presentation of this favorite movie in high definition. It's a war movie of a different sort, because it seems to capture the attitudes and general demeanor of Vietnam moreso than being an accurate historical tale. The movie uses Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness framework to carry us along a river journey, Huckleberry Finn-style, to different nightmares every step of the way. Friends of mine who fought in Vietnam have told me that, of all the war movies, the characters in Apocalypse Now remind them of people that they knew while they were over there.

Both are on 25GB discs, which is particularly bad for the two and a half hour Hamlet. I'd definitely like to see Criterion upgrade these. |

That is a really good point! I do own The Tree of Life but have yet to see it, it's been in my collection for the longest time now but just haven't been in the mood for it yet. I heard its pretty depressing so I'll probably just watch it once I've watched Malick's earlier films. Last edited by JohnWayne; 04-04-2013 at 01:01 PM. |
