yeah, good film. it's a typical eastwood film in many ways. plain, stark, claustrophobic and hard-hitting, completely devoid of over-the-top sequences and technical wizardry. the film basically relies on a strong script, solid screenplay and performances from the lead trio to see it through. great acting efforts from tim robbins and sean penn (esp. the former). in fact this one has a dazzling star cast which is surprising for a clint eastwood film. apart from penn and robbins, there's the always-welcome kevin bacon, along with marcia gay-harden and laura linney. overall, yes ... definitely worth a look.Quote:

Very interesting views. Have made a list of more than 20 movies from this thread and
hope to see them.
Have not seen many English movies recently,
here are a few I recommend from the ones
I remember, some of them are not popular/low profile movies which I happened to watch
accidentally while browsing tv channels and
got stuck to the channel till completing the
movie.
Frequency : A sci-fi starring Dennis Quaid and
James Caiezel (The lead actor
from MG's "Passion of the christ"
and "Thin red line", a very under
rated actor in my opinion)
Plot : An accidental cross-time radio link connects father and son across 30 years. The son tries to save his father's life, but then must fix the consequences.
A racy and entertaining movie indeed.
A League of their own : Starring Tom Hanks,
Geena Davis, Madonna
A movie based on the events how women's
baseball became a happening thing due to
the world war when men could not participate
in baseball competitions.
Little Giants : A really fun movie with all lead
actors being small kids.
Only when I laugh: A story involving a drug addict divorced mother and her sober daughter who tries to help her out of her problems. A touching one.
The Cutting edge : A romance flick involving
2 ice skaters, Moira kelly is so sweet in this one.
Punch Line : Starring Tom Hanks, Sally field.
You can see a young Tom Hanks showing
all his talents during his earlier days in this one
which actually brings out the "Actor" Tom
Hanks, he was considered just a comedian
those days.
The Man without a face: Starring Mel Gibson,
if I am not mistaken, this is the first movie
directed by Mel Gibson. A story involving a
professor wrongfully accussed of child abuse
and neglected by the society, meets a young
boy and helps him shape his life. A touching
movie.
Inner space: A sci-fi comedy flick starring
Dennis quaid, Meg Ryan and Martin short.
Excellent performance by Martin short who
overshadows Dennis quaid and Meg ryan.
Frankie and Johnny: one of the rare romance
movies starring "Al Pacino" ??? and Michelle
Pfiffer. Great to watch though.
Scent of a Woman: One of my favourites of
Al Pacino movies starring also starring
Chris o Donell.
Between the devil and the deep blue sea:
Starring Stephen Rea, a movie based on a
strage friendship between a sailor and a small
chinese girl. Touchy.
Patch Adams :One of Robin Williams' best
where he appears as a doctor who uses
unconventional methods to treat his clients.
Munnabhai MBBS/VRMBBS I think are inspired
from this one.
What Dreams my come: Another robin williams
movie, colorful, innovative. Great to watch,
also starring Cuba gooding Jr.
Central Do Brasil : A Brasilian movie, excellent
piece of work.
Plot : An emotive journey of a former school teacher, who write letters for illiterate people, and a young boy, whose mother has just died, in search for the father he never knew
Erin Brockovich: starring Julia Robers directed by Steven Soderbergh. Julia in a very different type of role and doing it
very well which got her many awards including an Oscar.
My best friends wedding : A nice comedy/romance movie with
Julia again.
Love Actually: seen very recently, a very hilarious movie.
The Runaway Bride: Nice one starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.
Nine Months :Another fun movie starring Hugh Grant and Jeff Goldblum which did not escape the eyes of our pundits and
eventually a rehash was done in Hindi as "Salaam Namaste".
Robin Williams does a cameo in this one which was done
by Abishek very well in the hindi version.
if you liked this film, you might want to check out 'Falling in Love' starring robert de niro and meryl streep. simple, yet beautifully made romance with good performances from the lead pair.Quote:

One more of Robin Williams which I forgot to
mention earlier is The Fisher King. This is
actually the first movie of Robin Williams I
have seen in which the lead role is played
by Jeff Bridges and when I saw this movie,
I did not know anything about the starcast
and Robin Williams was impressive in this one.
A couple of more movies to add to the list,
directed by Barbara Streisand, worthy of watching:
The prince of tides
Mirror has 2 faces
Anyone seen 'Water'?
I'd like to hear some reviews from those who've seen it...
Saw the movie
Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire last weekend.
Its pretty good.But only people who have read the books and/or watched the previous movies would be able to get it.It has the biggest opening amongst all the HP movies and had the 4th biggest opening among all the movies released,which is saying something.Did anyone else watch it?

i liked this more than Rocky.
If u liked cinderlla man you will surely like Seabiscut.
Its an awesome movie with a somewhat similar story line.Uplifting the people at a time of immense despair.Its a story of hope and courage.Theres nothing sad about the movie ,its just touching.
i've seen Cinderella Man...great movie...too bad Crowe's not so great publicity ruined the opening...it didn't do so well in the box office...
i'd like to see Seabiscuit...thanks for the suggestion...
movies to see before the year ends:
-The Aviator
-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
and some more..(i forget..) :)
I saw Amelie ! A wonderful vibrant movie !
That character is the most attractive/pretty woman I ever found in films 8-) :)
The music was very pleasing too 8-)
yeah, i've seen Seabiscuit too. a pleasant , feel good & inspiring movie.Quote:

The Aviator was ok,Di Caprio did a good job.Quote:

I recently saw Pride & Prejudice...it was a good remake...Knightley is beautiful but she didn't do justice to Elizabeth's role as I would have wanted...same goes for Mr. Darcy...
I prefer the P&P with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy; it was long, but well done...
Jane Austen novels are beautiful and witty...so this is definitely a fun, romantic movie... :thumbsup:
Chronicles of Narnia...a really interesting story of four siblings who enter the world of Narnia through a closet...
I'm not a fan of fantasy movies, but I enjoyed this movie...nice music as well...well done!
:thumbsup:
I remembered a movie that I used to watch often... Meet Joe Black! A really lovely movie...

I wonder why Jim Carrey told the Doctor he met Clementine at the picnic by the beach because he actually met her at the subway station though he had seen her by the beach…
fav scenes: Jim and Kate by the Charles river looking at the sky...their conversation when they met inside the train (too funny)...
Jim Carrey is awesome...his smirk, smile, and other facial expressions are great...
Kate Winslet is simply cool...
Overall, an interesting, fun movie…the ending is also nice…
The Interpreter...a great thriller...Sean Penn is so real as usual...Nicole Kidman is good as well..
My fav scene: last scene where Kidman asks Zuwani to read the intro to the book...thought-provoking and sad...
overall a nice thriller to watch...
