that is a great scene, the scene with the lady accused of being a witch.
A movie that i like even more but is a little harder to find is "the virgin spring".
It's amaing in every way.

Thanks for the tip... I haven't seen "The Virgin Spring" - but I'm going to soon!

You can get it here.

A bit pricey... but Bergman's worth it!



Also... a piece of interesting trivia...

A lot of people have been mentioning Saving Private Ryan. You guys might like to know that it's the tenth anniversary of the shooting of the Omaha Beach scenes. How do I know? Because they were shot in Curacloe beach, just a few miles from my hometown here in Ireland. I got to walk around the set a couple of times... don't know how.. the security was freaking heavy, but they didn't bother me. ...which I took as a Sign From God :laugh:. Didn't see Hanks or Speilberg, but oh Lord, what a set to behold!

Quite an experience!

These threads are great. Good way to remember something youve forgotten or just something youve missed in the past. I just watched Munich again - very nice.
 
I thought "Thank you for Smoking" had one of the nicest looks of any recent film I have watched. It looked really classy and expensive considering it's budget. It also gave the story a very nice, distinct visual style.

Best,

I was SURE someone would have beat me to the punch on this one, but I guess not... The Proposition. Very cinematic.
 
I didn't bother reading through all 20 pages, but I got to about page 5 and only saw one Christopher Doyle film in there. I thought "In the Mood for Love" and "2046" are AMAZING.
 
Most recently:

Children of Men.

Incredibly hard and complex set-ups. Fantastically simple, effective and poetic results.
Emmanuel Lubezki is a young master.
