Herzog, "Aguirre Wrath of God" number one spot for now. Herzog behind the camera and Popul Vuh on the soundtrack is the most riveting combo in decades.
I think Herzog is too German for his own good but Kinski is hilarious.
Kinski is hilarious.
Is he ever not? "Android"!
Five outa six ain't all that bad sounding, ya hear.
ya, i dont like bud either.
LEON..
The warriors..(a bit dated)
I guess there could be a message in the films.. I guess it depends who's watching..
I guess it says I like action films..
The pacific...My dad died last year and he was at the battle of Matapan (I have some medals) He just hid them in the back of a drawer..He didn't talk much about it..he watched the film (Pacific)..and said I'm so glad I'm to old to see it happen again..He talked about picking up some (local) children in Java that were starving never seemed to manage to finish the story he always got to upset.. when he got to the part about giving them food but they couldn't eat it..even fruit..

band of brothers, the pacific, best war movies ever made.
they dont glorify war, but put it as it is, make and think what u want, but here it is.
one of the most memorable things ive ever seen is the interveiws with the 501st.
80yrs old still fresh in there minds loosing freinds....brothers.
the affect war had on these men.
i bet your dad didnt talk about it.
its the ones who saw action, saved lives, watched lives taken who dont.
its the ones who didnt that brag and talk about it.
now your dad is at peace, its a shame i couldnt thank him.
The Princess Bride
I must have watched that 100's of times while my girls were growing up. It got a little old but, they enjoyed it.
Best Regards,

I do not like to watch TV series.
I do not want to be a slave to anyone other than beer.
But if I can, I look at the Battle Star Galactica episodes.
Sometimes a bit inconsistent, sometimes didactic, but it's worth the time.
Now here is the end of this series.
I think I just cancel my subscription television.

Not the most cheerful person who knows good movies, or the life of a party with lousy taste for flics.
Mm, tough choice.
(Gyuri, Battlestar Galactica, shame on you. The 60 million dollar mormon man passed away a week ago, btw)
Hmmm ... not sure about "best movies", but high on the list are those I can watch over and over again, never tire of - they have a quality of "freshness" about them that shines through, every time ...
Two of those that come to mind are "Cabaret", and "Charade" - hmmm, do I detect a pattern here, I wonder ...

Why should I be ashamed of myself?
Why, because the best what happens of today's Hungarian television, the Battlestar Galactica?
I possibly could look to Big Brother and similar productions.
Squalor and filth.
This is what we get, this is probably what we deserve.
I have no illusions, I think this is the case everywhere else.
I hated communism as sh!t.
But there were series in the public television, (we had only two) Akira Kurosawa, Marcello Mastroianni series.
Good old hungarian films.
Even Peter Bacsó's film "A Tanú" was also screened once.
I suppose, heads fallen in the dust after that.
French, Italian, German(!) New Wave films and so on!
If ... I can seen this by Lindsay Anderson.
And my eternal favorite, perhaps in Mastroianni series, Leo The Last, by John Boorman.
I do not know, sometimes I think now could come already in that asteroid or something to stop this lie, what we called life.
Eh, whatever.
I'm just a grumpy old man.

Try and catch the next two of Lindsay's series. Kubrick can be seen in a cameo in "Clockwork Orange" admiring a copy of "Misa Luba" in a record shop.

Squalor and filth.
BB made someone here 2.5 billion dollars.
As a result, 2/3d of the Dutch TV channels currently are commercial ones, which broadcast filth all day.
The BB guy started out as a coffee help at a commercial TV station, now he owns part of several.
Thing is, 2/3d of the viewers have the desire to watch filth.
2/3d had a filth wish all along, but didn't get what they wanted up till two decades ago.
Same deal on your end, you could have been a grumpy young guy.
(a genuine grumpy one would assume the asteroid to miss the target by a hair)
broadcast filth all day.
So the Dutchies brought us "Hell on Wheels", learn something new everyday (patiently waiting for the reality show thing to jump the shark).
