gomerpyle Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Almost anything directed by Johnnie To, including: The Mission Exiled Vengeance Election Election II PTU Breaking News Life Without Principle Drug War Dont Go Breaking My Heart Throw Down Sparrow My Left Eye Sees Ghosts Running on Karma** Mad Detective** Romancing in Thin Air** Most Johninie To enthusiasts will know him for his gangster films (The Mission, Exiled, Vengeance, Drug War) as well as for Election/Election II (right there with The Godfather series). He however has taken many commercial risks, crafting films that are singular in their vision: Running on Karma, Mad Detective, and Romancing in Thin Air. I'd suggest watching Election/Election II first, then Exiled and Drug War. Pure craftsmanship, and thrilling to boot. Then if you are taken by To, move on to Running on Karma, Mad Detective, and Romancing Thin Air. and if you've ever seen and were thrilled by The Umbrellas of Cherbourg or The Young Girls of Roquefort, then watch Sparrow! Wong Kar Wai's films: Chungking Express Days of Being Wild In the Mood for Love Grandmaster of course, love action flicks: Sicario zero dark thirty bourne series, including legacy john wick and jw II swordmaster blade of the immortal so many films!

benos Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Which "Election" movie is it on this page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0864775/ Thanks for the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomerpyle Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Looks like I mistakenly called Triad Election as Election II. The first is Election, directed in 2005, then the sequel is Triad Election. Rumor has it is that he is/will be working on a third installment! Start with Election - hope you like it! And it's cool meeting someone else who appreciates Dancer in the Dark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomerpyle Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If you get a chance, do watch Running on Karma, Blind Detective, and Romancing in Thin Air. all defy conventions, all involve vision - akin to Dancer in the Dark. Happy viewing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomerpyle Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 today seems a good day for another suggestion: Alexander Nevsky, directed by Eisenstein, one of the giants of cinema whose exposition on montage still resonates to this day. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/sergei-eisenstein-anniversary-battleship-potemkin-alexander-nevsky-soviet-cinema-joseph-stalin-a8171911.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedishMoose Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Sicario - Great film showing why Mexico's issues with the cartel are so complex and hard to fix. Hail Caesar - Kind of went under the radar despite having a lot of big names to it. It's a fun artistic movie. Grand Budapest Hotel - A different movie. John Wick 1 & 2 - For when you just want a good action movie and don't care about a plot. Also it's the perfect movie for gun nerds that get triggered by dumb gun stuff, this has almost nothing bad. Hot Fuzz - Favorite comedy. In Bruges - Second favorite comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Just saw “First Man” on PPV. Excellent movie about Neil Armstrong and the American space program. Great acting and direction, believable action, nothing hokey. So good your wife might watch it (Ryan Gosling helps). (The “flag controversy” was BS, if you didn’t come away from this in awe of their accomplishments you’re an imbecile.)

Frankly Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) “Free Solo” is the best thing I’ve seen in years. Its the story of Alex Honnold’s solo climb of El Capitain. You don’t have to be into climbing to appreciate it. Edited March 9, 2019 by Frankly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedishMoose Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I highly recommend Knives Out. Fun, talented cast in a whodunnit style where Daniel Craig plays a southern private investigator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
