Mal ,'War Stories'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
"Choose a movie or work of literature that discusses the topic of education and the arts".
Fame.
I mean, I'm pretty sure the kids were supposed to be adolescents.
What's the one about Hitler and his painting teacher? Or am I making up a movie that doesn't exist.
What's the one about Hitler and his painting teacher?
I was Hitler's Painting Teacher for the FBI!
OK, that probably doesn't exist.
Max. I think.
Did that have John Cusack or am I the one now making things up? Or, wait, was that his art dealer, not his teacher?
What's the one about Hitler and his painting teacher?
It's Max, but don't rent it because it's godawful. Chock full of lines like "Have you heard of Adolf Hitler, the painter? Oh, you will..." and "Come on Hitler, let me buy you a lemonade."
I watched Inside Man last night. That was a really effin' good movie. Probably my favorite Spike Lee joint. Even though it's not very Spike Lee-ish in some respects, you can see his fingerprints all over it. Like the Sikh (sp?) demanding his turban back.
One question for those who saw it though: Anybody else think that Denzel's character really did take the missing money from the check-cashing bust, and Ms. White just "took care of it"?
Also? I'm madly in love with that Bollywood number that opens and closes the film. I may have to start watching Bollywood musicals if the music is that catchy.
Stand by Me = Rob Reiner and River Phoenix
Stand and Deliver = Olmos and Math
The Professional.
Ha! A very special education.
I don't remember "Stand by Me" or "Stand and Deliver" dealing with the Arts - what am I forgetting?
Sean, I am so looking forward to Flyboys. The trailer was just wonderful. I must be a bit of a boy, but anything with planes in it, I can not resist.
It looks like it will be really exciting. I've always wanted to see more good WWI movies.
