The Last Movie You Saw On DVD or VHS or TV.

I don't know for whatever reason I never bought that Pacino performance as much as everyone else. Seemed kind of goofy.

The last DVD I watched was United 93, and I thought it was amazing even though it hurt to watch in a way.

I was watching Turner Classic Fims the other day. I don't recall the movie but it sucked so bad I changed the channel.

A few days ago I saw 'Thirty-Two-Short-Films-About-Glenn-Gould', a bizarre and wonderful mosaic of the pianio genius.

I watched "The Fisher King" with Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges two nights ago. Love the late Michael Jeter's performance as the cabaret singer.

"Why can't I be Katherine Hepburn... like in "Summertime"?"

As far as Pacino:
Favorite Al Pacino Performance

The last movie I saw in its entirety was Love, Actually, last week. Just today I was channel surfing and, though I didn't sit through the whole thing, I watched bits and pieces (so to speak...) of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. (That's the film whose poster is memorably modelled after the The Breakfast Club's.)

The man from Laramie

Da Vinci Code, just last night. I wasn't expecting much based on the reviews, but I thought it was pretty good.

Night before that it was "Prarie Home Companion," which I really, really enjoyed. Garrison Kiellor was wonderful, and so were John C. Reilly and Woody Harrelson. Their "bad jokes" song was a crack-up.

If I didn't know any better,I would have sworn that post came from gustavratzenhofer ( I love that kind of humour ).Anyway,thanks for your time.

Confrats on your good taste, Amigo! That's classic James Stewart.

The Fisherking is fantastic!!

I saw Perfume last night at the cinema, one word-silly.

Dr Strangelove
"Gentlemen you can't fight in here, this is the war room"

My husband and I watched a Special Edition of Tombstone last night, on On Demand, to see the additional nine minutes not shown on the dvd.

Loved the Fisher King too, it is my no 2 Robin Williams flick after Awakenings and before What Dreams may come. I am looking forward to seeing Perfume, since the novel was so great. I am curious what they did with it, especially how they visualised scent.

I saw some 15 DVDs last wekend, but isn't it funny I cannot remember the the last one?

Can you remember any of them? That's not encouraging.

The original Wicker Man last night....

The scene when they're dragging the sergeant toward the Wicker Man, that's classic, though. <snork> Seeing a young Christopher Lee was fun too.

I really enjoyed that book too, Paaskynen; I just saw a trailer for the movie a night or two ago and was very interested. Wondering the same thing, as the descriptions of scent were so much a part of the book.

I saw Perfume last week-end. I liked it. It was very strange and I thought, very beautifully made. I liked the story quality of the narration and the cinemetography. The entire production had this dream-like, almost fairy-tale quality to it that I enjoyed although that's exactly what the person I saw it with didn't like about it.

I enjoyed the performances, especially the lead character, played by an actor I'd never seen before, and Dustin Hoffman's.
I think it's worth the 6 pounds or 10 dollars (or equivalent) to see it - but it's definitely not a mainstream, action packed mystery or thriller, so don't go expecting that.

I haven't read the book, but the movie has inspired me to.

Seriously, you're quite right, my memory for names is weak. I wonder if I should start keeping a diary. Out of the 15, the ones I remember, in no particular order:
- Heat (1995)
- The Grey Zone (2001), depressing Auschwitz drama
- Untergang, Der (2004, The Downfall), Hitler's last weeks, great film
- The Touch (2002), Chinese adventure story à la Lara Croft
- Nabbeun namja (2001, Bad Guy) (OH, now I remember, this was the last one I saw! ), Korean, violence and prostitution
- The Master of Disguise (2002), awfully unfunny comedy
- Maa on syntinen laulu (1973, The Earth Is a Sinful Song), naturalistic film about the poor inhabitants of Lapland, which has lost its appeal to the modern public, because they cannot imagine the abject poverty their (grand)parents grew up in.
- The Final Cut (2004)
- The Fighting Temptations (2003), my spouse likes Beyoncé
- Frostbiten (2006), funny Swedish vampire flick set in Lapland
- Babas bilar (2006), Swedish gangster comedy set in Lapland

Well, that still leaves four titles unaccounted for...

I watched an obscure (at least to me) German film on cable called Schultze Gets the Blues. It was a small, touching, and kind of charming movie. A little sad, too.

I also caught up with the Ring trilogy on cable. I was disappointed. C'est la vie.
