Topic: Tom's Unwatched Movies Marathon

[Tom]

If I do not watch a movie shortly after receiving it, chances are that it ends up in my "unwatched" pile for a long while.
So I thought I open up a different kind of marathon thread to help me out finally watching some of these movies.

I will list my unwatched movies here in my first post (and I will update it from time to time), and you can request a movie you want me to watch from this list. I will try to watch at least one requested movie a week.

BUT there is a simple rule to it: Each member is only allowed to request one movie at a time. That means, that you have to wait until I have watched your requested movie before you can request another one. Or you can withdraw a request and replace it with another one.

That's not so easy, you have some great bollywood movies. Maybe a seperate marathon?

But well, here's my vote: The Bucket List (2008)
Great actors in a heart warming movie!  

BTW: Your links do not work for me:

http://www.imdb.com/tt0825232 -> does not work
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0825232 -> works

Three of the listed movies are new additions and I will watch them soon.

But well, here's my vote: The Bucket List (2008)

Yes, I liked the movie (I have seen it at the cinema).

BTW: Your links do not work for me:

http://www.imdb.com/tt0825232 -> does not work

Thanks. I should have tried them first. It's fixed now.

I see you have some serials...I've seen those except for one I'm still in the middle of.  There's one movie there I've seen in the bargain bin a few times but I doubt I could find it now but I'd still like to see your review of it in case I ever come across it again...

The Thing Called Love: Director's Cut

Who directed that anyway?  Is it a director I've heard of?

[Tom]

Peter Bogdanovich. I don't have anything else directed by him.

[Kathy]

There's a few too many romantic comedy for my taste. One that sounds interesting and gets my vote is: Relax... It's Just Sex .

[Najemikon]

Bogdanovich is a very intelligent and brilliant director, but he doesn't have a huge output and even less are known. His most famous, and deservedly so, is The Last Picture Show.

He's better known as a film historian and crops up in lots of documentaries, especially on Orson Welles (I think he did a Kane commentary too?) and Hitchcock, who he was close to and interviewed, I believe. Tom, if you watch any of the extras on the Hitch discs, you'll see a lot of him.

What am I saying? You barely watch the movies, never mind the extras!

[Rogmeister]

I think I have several films in which Bogdonavich does commentaries for...maybe even a couple Duke Wayne westerns if I remember correctly.  I'm not sure if I have any films he directed but the name is very familiar to me.

[Najemikon]

Ah, yes, I think he's done a fair bit on John Ford at least.

I need some back up on the Bollywood front. I am the only one reviewing Bollywood movies so far. I'd like to read some reviews written by other members here 

[Antares]

Directed by John Ford

[kahless]

To be honest, my English is not sufficient to write reviews. I'm totally dependent on translation tools like http://dict.leo.org To write understandable reviews would be a torture for me and the readers! 

Another thing I'd like to mention: How did I get in contact with Bollywood?

My wife started it. 

After a while I was really amazed:

- beautiful people
- lot of music
- great landscapes
- heart warming stories

Directed by John Ford

of course!

And narrated by Welles, too. Keeps his friends close...

For me... Gone with the Wind... need to see if it is worth investing almost 4 hours of my time into it!
