Re: Only seen 8 Legolas Send a noteboard - 01/09/2010 12:17:17 AM
8.5 if I get to count The Ring for Ringu. Even if I saw the crap one, there is NO chance I'm watching another movie about that.

Not to be harsh or anything, but if we're going to count horrid Hollywood remakes, this would be far too easy.
But I have quite a few more on my list. I will probably make it up to 20 by the time I'm done.

Which ones would that be?
I love Seven Samurai.

That one is on my own list. Was fairly high already, is perhaps still higher now.

Empire's 100 Best Films of World Cinema Legolas - 31/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 1369 Views
As for my quibbles with the list... Legolas - 31/08/2010 03:01:43 PM 786 Views
Since it's "World Cinema," does that automatically exclude U.S. films? *NM* Palatine - 31/08/2010 05:51:00 PM 371 Views
It usually means non-English language films *NM* snoopcester - 31/08/2010 06:36:34 PM 367 Views
Not only that, it also seems to exclude British, Australian and other English-language ones. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:19 PM 680 Views
No one minds Australia's exclusion. All they make is bad Jackie Chan films. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/08/2010 10:55:18 PM 258 Views

Hey I've only seen 21 ironclad - 31/08/2010 03:40:54 PM 711 Views
My opinion of their list rose by a fair bit when I saw La vita รจ bella was not on it. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:56:15 PM 686 Views
What exactly is Battle Royale doing there? Lordling - 31/08/2010 04:07:46 PM 788 Views
Juno is Canadian-American though. ironclad - 31/08/2010 07:40:20 PM 666 Views
I'm quite surprised to see that La Vita e bella (Life is Beautiful) isn't on the list. *NM* Missa Sedai - 31/08/2010 04:51:53 PM 484 Views
Me too. Pleasantly surprised. *NM* Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:47 PM 365 Views
Really? I thought the movie was fantastic and well-made. *NM* Missa Sedai - 01/09/2010 12:36:05 AM 371 Views
In fairness, Roberto Benigni being an overrated ass doesn't mean his only good film isn't good. Legolas - 01/09/2010 01:01:21 AM 727 Views
