Yah, when i first saw it, it blew me away. Then for a time, i felt kind of like a sucker, like it was some melodramatic crap, with unrealistic situations (his father driving him to jail) and unrealistic characters (former drug dealer, telemarketer, and schoolteachers as friends) but the best part for me lay in the way certain scenes were set up, or executed, like when he is ranting in the bathroom mirror, or that final reminicense scene or when PS Hoffman is moving through the club (apparrently a spike lee trademark, dragging a character on a dolly like that) and i guess what i liked most wasnt plot related, it was how it was done differently in the visual realm

 

[SlayerDeuS]

Certainly I felt the same way with 25th Hour. But it has fallen out of favor with me I have no idea why, I just didn't think it did much for me after watching it a 2nd and 3rd time.

01. Amadeus (Milos Foreman)
02. Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino)
03. Easy Rider (Dennis Hopper)
04. Kill Bill (Quentin Tarantino)
05. The Godfather 1 and 2 (Francis Ford Coppola)

Sir_Didier_Drogba, I'm glad to see you liked my recommendation of Amadeus. It is truely a classic film of history.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Yes! Thank you so much - it was totally on your recommendation that I looked into this film, and I can honestly say it's the best film I have ever seen. I made a thread about it somewhere.

 

[TheBlueBalla]

Wow, Thats a ringing endorsement if ever i saw one I know theyre from roughly the same period, but is it anything like Barry Lyndon (also a movie i hope to be checking out soon )

 

[Sir Calumn]

Nah they're nothing like each other - but Barry Lyndon is a really good film. They're both set a round about the Regency period but the things portrayed are totally different. Barry Lyndon is about a poor peasant man who rises up in the world, through luck and his own cunningness, until he is a high player, and it then charters his fall back down again. Ryan O'Niel plays Redmond Barry really well, and the narrator is Sir Michael Hordon who has probably the worlds best theatrical voice, plus there is an awesome cameo from Leonard Russiter, so all in all I definately recommend it. One of my very favourite Kubrick flicks.
