Huh. None of the movies listed for men OR women are ones I watch often. Except maybe Aliens, but since I only watch it about once a year, I don't call that "often". Not compared to, say, Beetlejuice.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

With convenient YouTube accompaniment!

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
That's a great list! At least it has some of my favorites, although they got the wrong one from Weekend. The right one (the greatest traffic jam in cinema) doesn't appear to be on YouTube in its original format.

Another great long take (albeit one that doesn't impress with camerawork, but with the actor's rhythms):

Totally agree with this. So much of WEEKEND doesn't work (the agitprop especially) but the stuff that does is mad genius and more than makes up for the lecturing.

This is 3½ years old, but it's the best RoTK review ever!
Hee! I knew which review that was before I even clicked on it.
This movie starts with the origin of Golem – that creepy guy who looks like Iggy Pop and wears Tarzan pants and wants the invisible-ring. He’s still on a quest with the two hobbits - Rudy from the film RUDY and Fredo - to throw the ring into a volcano (this is like a serious version of JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO). The ring is also evil but you keep thinking, while you watch it, that someone should put it on and check out some boobs. I have a feeling those scenes will be in the DVDs.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
The most interesting thing about the (quite positive) reviews of 28 Weeks Later... I've read are the allusions to the director's previous film Intacto. Has anyone seen it?

Those Top 5 lists re-confirm that I'm actually a guy. Except for the fact that I've never seen The Godfather .
I just recently heard a thing about oranges in The Godfather though. I really do need to watch that.

Dude. See it. See both of them. (There was no third movie, despite what you may have heard. Lalalalala.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The lack of Princess Bride on both those lists--a symptom of what's wrong with movies and the world, or a cause?
