Zaraoz is now the number one movie in my queue.  Followed by Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4.  I saw the trailer last night and there is nothing better than a scenery chewing Matthew McConaughey.

For the Wall-E Top 5, here are some ideas:

Top 5 Movies About Robots/ Favourite Movie Robots
Top 5 Modern Silents (Modern era films with very little dialogue)
Top 5 Anti-Consumerism Films
Top 5 Sci-Fi Comedies (is this one even possible?)
Top 5 Visual Enlightenments (The top movies that personally redifined the bar for cinematic visuals. eg Dr. Caligari, 2001, Gone With the Wind, Children of Men, Amelie, The Fall)
"We didn't clean the hamster's cage, the hamster's cage cleaned us!"

Can't get enough FroHam? Read more of my musings at justAtad

Top 5 Sci-Fi Comedies (is this one even possible?)


Spaceballs would have to be included, which is a good reason not to have this list.

We already have our Top 5... Movies About Loneliness.

I thought I explained a little why I have 'turned on' Ryan Gosling. I didn't believe Lars, the character, for a second... in a movie mostly filled with 'real' people like his brother and sister in law. And there isn't a moment in that movie where he isn't calling attention to his performance. Which also helps answer the charge about Patricia Clarkson being wooden... for me it was a relief from watching Gosling smile and blink.

Director/Actor collaborations.

I'm a-gonna leave out actors who were often great with multiple directors, which leaves out a bunch of people like John Wayne, Tony Leung, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Toshiro Mifune, and so on.

1. Takashi Shimura and Akira Kurosawa
2. Anna Karina and Jean-Luc Godard
3. Chishu Ryu and Yasujiro Ozu
4. Chow Yun-fat and John Woo
5. Rock Hudson and Douglas Sirk

2. Anna Karina and Jean-Luc Godard


That was also on my imaginary top 5. Along with Jean-Pierre Leaud and Truffaut although that may be too obvious.
