V for Vendetta when Evie steps out into the rain.

Is that a relatively unknown movie or is it just me?

I only saw it because I was hungover one day and couldn't be bothered moving or arguing about what was about to be watched and I fell in love with it very quickly. I've lost count of how many times I've seen it now and never tire of it and yet so many people I speak to have never heard of it or seen it?

Loving Natalie PORTman only has a small part to play in the love I have for V.

Well, it was dervied from a comic, and it was directed by the Wachowski siblings, and fans were still pissy with how they wrapped up The Matrix trilogy, so nerd rage took it down. Thats as far as I can figure it.

As someone who never read the comic, I love it, its on my rewatch pile for sure. The whole part where Evie is captured, and the letter, its just amazing. Maybe the relative lack of people fighting also hurt it for a `comic book film', but who the * needs twenty minute fight scenes when you have a corker of a story?

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Absolutely.

Hit Girl is your comic book action film, V is so much more than that.

Sitting in for the midnight premiere of Star Wars Episode III knowing this would be the last time anyone would get to see those credits roll for a new film and all that, was just good to soak it in for a while with a eager and full house not there to hate on the prequels for a few minutes.

Guess that judgement was premature.

I was just looking through the Random Thoughts thread and saw this post from Powerstufff



What were others' memorable movie moments? (I was going to say moments in a cinema before realising the danger of that can of worms )

I still vividly remember the scene in Jaws when the shark pokes his head out of the water while Chief Brody is ladling chum and Brody says You're gonna need a bigger boat.

I actually saw the movie Ford Fairlane on Austar a few months back.Jesus Christ mate that was corny.

Mississippi Burning is one of the scariest, chilling and upsetting movies I have seen. Probably because it was based on a real event, were murderers basically got away with it and because I was watching it in the USA - in a well to do area, and the audience were becoming more and more uncomfortable as it played.

Remarkable scene from a very creative and remarkable movie that traverses the full human emotions.
