Fav Movies Of All Time?

[Jaimoe]

Thanks Jaimoe, I guess sometimes it's worth paying that little bit more if you're guaranteed a certain level of quality...

Man, some Critereon releases are priced too high. I've only rented Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress since the DVD runs somewhere in the $30 CDN range - some Kurosawa CC DVDs go up to the $40 dollar CDN range or higher.

And on a personal aside Dragonboy, I phoned my friend in Japan yesterday morning and will be seeing him in a week's time when he comes to my wedding in Southern Ontario - with Japanese wife and kids in-tow (he's a redneck Japanese-Canadian). My cousin also resides in Japan (for the past 14 years) and will also be at my wedding.

Yer I buy my DVDs from all over & Kurosawa's movies are usually very pricey in the UK too  :-/

Congrats Jaimoe, that's fantastic news!!!

I do believe this warrants a thread of it's own...

Does the lucky lady like westerns as much as you do?  ;)

[dragonboy]

Amelie

Nice to see some love for Amelie, truly a magical film. Makes me cry everytime...

I've only seen Straight Story & Misery but Straight Story just breaks my heart everytime I see it.
Just checked The Grey Fox but it's currently unavailable on DVD  :-/

[MMJ_fanatic]

The Grey Fox is a great period piece--you can probably find it on VHS (most likely used).

[dragonboy]

VHS? What's that?!! Haha, just kidding.
My wife & I threw our video player away a couple of weeks ago when we moved house.
I've signed up to be emailed when the movie is available on DVD.

The Grey Fox is a great period piece--you can probably find it on VHS (most likely used).

And the film is often studied in Canadian university film school classes.
