Quote by dripsey re. FULL METAL JACKET
I completely agree with this one. It's easy to make an anti-war film, particularly when dealing with that war, but Kubrick made it as purely a war film, to do a clinical study of war and its effects on the men who must fight it--and let's not ever forget basic training at Parris Island!

THIRTEEN DAYSA solid look at the Cuban Missile Crisis, and those thirteen tense days (October 16-28, 1962) when the world stood at the brink of thermonuclear war. 10/10.

Over the weekend, I saw an old classic from 1961:
Breakfast at Tiffany's with cute Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard
I give it a 7/10.

It was quite a nostalgic weekend and so I watched another old classic, this time from 1964 and in black and white: Agatha Christie's Murder Most FoulMargaret Rutherford plays the marvelous Miss Marple who joins a theatrical company in order to uncover a mystery around a murder that took place and was followed suit by two more murders. For those who are interested to learn more about it, here is a link to the Internet Movie Database: www.imdb.com/title/tt0058383/and another to youtube where the movie can be watched in 10 different parts: My rating: 8/10

THE SUGARLAND EXPRESSSorry, folks, this isn't about Jennifer Nettles (LOL). This is actually Steven Spielberg's first big-screen film as a director (the 1971 film DUEL having been a made-for-TV project), and is loosely based on an actual incident that had the state of Texas on high alert in May 1969. Goldie Hawn and William Atherton are the fugitive couple at the center of it all; Michael Sacks is the Texas state cop they take hostage; and legendary Western character actor Ben Johnson is the lawman in charge of keeping responsible order. 9.5/10.

This gets a 9/10 from me. It's about Jack White of White Stripes, The Edge of U-2, and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. Some of the historical footage is amazing.

DUELThe 1971 made-for-TV film that made Steven Spielberg a household name in Hollywood, with Dennis Weaver as the everyday auto motorist menaced by a psychopathic truck driver on an isolated highway in Southern California. A frightening story of road rage, scripted by the great writer Richard Matheson ( I Am Legend) from his published story of the same name, and absolutely perfect for Spielberg's suspense-based directorial approach. 10/10.

6.5/10 I am somewhat not surprised to see that rating from you. I have heard the film was mildly below expectations. I won't see it...in theatre....Not worth the stolen sodas. ;D *************************** I did not see Halloween II this weekend as planned after all, but my daughter (12) and her mom did, and it was madly grotesque. They'd give it a 8/10 though. Apparently a great ending. As for Rob Zombie's Halloween remakes I'll rate his Halloween(I) right alongside here, even though I haven't seen it in a while.... .... 7/10. imo. Great on the preamble story to the boogeyman's life, but extent on gore and predictability by the end. Nothing ever replaces the two originals. Doesn't take blood to scare the shit out of people. Will these horror mavens ever get that??

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KINDSteven Spielberg's 1977 sci-fi masterpiece about UFOs and the ultimate meeting between Us and Them, which takes place at Devils Tower, Wyoming, is still an astonishing film, a sort of suburban 2001 (with special effects work supervised by Douglas Trumbull, who also worked on 2001). Richard Dreyfuss does his Everyman thing well, and the film also features the legendary French filmmaker Francois Truffaut as Claude Lacombe. 10/10.

^ You give more 10's than anyone I've ever seen. Not that that's a bad thing. I can only think of two movies that I would give a 10.

Finally, a film that I can only give a 5/10 to... ...and, unfortunately, it is by Steven Spielberg--his 1979 comedy spectacle 1941. It has the requisite all-star cast of lunatics (John Belushi; Dan Aykroyd; John Candy), classic character actors (Slim Pickens; Warren Oates; Dub Taylor). sight gags--the works. There's just one problem, though. This World War II comedy about the fear and paranoia of a Japanese invasion of L.A. in 1941 wasn't very funny thirty years ago, and it ain't funny now either. This is really one of only two films (the other being HOOK) that Spielberg has made that I'd definitively consider Clinkers.
