Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Thanks for the list, megan! No wonder QT's style seemed so familiar from what everyone was saying.
I know I've seen at least part of "Ma vie en rose." There were times I'd rent a movie to watch with my daughter; she has a habit of talking over everything, particularly if it's something she doesn't like or can't understand. I end up watching a lot of movies without ever knowing/remembering how they ended.

Not at all. I just feel all accidentally culturfied.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh man, I loved King Kong. The big question going in was "Why make this movie?" and within the first ten minutes, I got it.

My favorite foreign film - actually, probably my favorite film, period, is Almodovar's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. The mambo taxi! "You see what the Arab world has done to me!" The moped chase! The gazpacho!
I recommend The Return of Martin Guerre, as far as French films go - Gerard Depardieu before he was a man-mountain.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Megan, we Netflixed Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources. So they are available on dvd.

I second this. And Depardieu's Cyrano is nice too.
Hec, my German's not that good. I could translate those words literally, but I suspect you're looking for a compound concept noun, like Schadenfreude. I'll ask around, but you might check Leo: [link]

Because I was able to add it long ago, but it's been sitting there ever since with an "Unknown" release date. You can find it online as an import--but that usually means expensive and/or wacky subtitles.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We also Netflixed Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources. It was a while ago, and sometimes things disappear on Netflix, but we definitely got them.
