Hope I'm not too late, but The Taste of Tea and Twilight Samurai would be great for this.

Crimes and Misdemeanors...

The Castle is the only one I have seen! :lol: It's very faithful to the book.

Definitely. I read it long ago, but it has real staying power. I just read Atwood's Oryx and Crake -- another dystopia with a little more sci fi. It's good, too.

I enjoyed this. I loved the vigorous editing, that made the smallest memories visual and fascinating. The mirrors were lovely. The movie slowed down when she went to Los Angeles though -- both the...

I don't know that I'd describe Margot as mean-spirited, but the big difference between the two movies, for me, is that Squid is told primarily from the kids' point of view. Even though the older son...

That's an interesting theory. But, I can't reconcile it with Juliet saying, "It worked."

I think the fact that the alternate timeline may diverge pre-1977 could be explained by the elimination...

But math and science are not about the unknowable. Out of all of physics, it’s just this one thing (Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle/Shrodinger’s Cat) that works as an analogy for an...

Wow, impressive list! I like quite a few on there, but these five would definitely make my top 100:

The Magic Toyshop
A Tale of Two Cities
The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
Crime and...

Ah, I'm glad you liked it. I did too, but I've read a lot of negative reactions. I dearly loved Perkus, so the pot-addled conspiracies didn't wear thin. And that scene where the group is bidding...

Ledfloyd, what happened to Chronic City? Did you finish it/like it?

I agree it was necessary, but soitgoes is right that it was "groan inducing." Why on earth was it CGI? Horrible.

Thanks!! You know, the first time I watched this, I thought the Coen's were completely scornful of the three rabbis. But, on a rewatch, I realized the second one had something good to say if you...

I think this is perfectly put.



This "non-ending ending" seems very different to me than all others, because of what ledfloyd says above. It's much more necessary and elegant than any I've...

Ah, wouldn't that have been great?



Yes.

The whole thing is silly fun, but I love it.

Chocolat - 7
I Can't Sleep - 8.5

Trouble Every Day - 6
Friday Night - 8.5
L'Intrus - 8.5

I'm surprised to see some low numbers for Beau Travail; I would...

I loved it, too! You’re right, it really does have some emotional weight to it, because it takes the characters’ grief and illness seriously. It’s dark comedy with a sweet tone, never a mean...

The Wayward Cloud - 9
I Don't Want To Sleep Alone - 6

I admit I haven't seen enough Miike to know for sure, but The Bird People in China seems completely different (in tone and aesthetic) from his other movies -- even unrecognizable. I haven't been...

I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK
Junebug

I just saw I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK, and loved it.

Some of the criticism I’ve read says it doesn’t work for American audiences, because we can’t laugh at the mentally ill. I think I...
