hitch :D
Whether I like his films or not, I cannot deny that Hitchcock has had a profound effet on the film industry. Hitchcock get my vote.

I respect Hitchcock as a true auteur of the medium, and what his films mean to cinema ... but Leone's films mean so much more to me, and he is both highly-influential and legendary in his own right. My vote goes to Leone.

I know Hitchcock is a legendary director, a classic. I shamefully have seen only a couple of works of him, because Heather had recommended them. Of course, I loved all.
But... Lars Von Trier is an older in my experiece in movieland. He is the classic of my life.
Dogville, Manderlay and Antichrist are my favorites of his precious works. I believe he is one bold director who has an extraordinary ability about telling his stories in a marginal way from different perspectives. He makes you think, feel anger and passion at the same time till you feel like your head is going to blow up because of the fired up and fighting ideas.
Maybe I will be the only one who voted for Lars Von Trier. *sigh*
At least I try.
Melike, while I might vote for Trier against Spielberg or Lukas, I can't vote for him against Hitchcock.

Melike - shamefully I have never seen any of Von Trier's work, although I suspect that will change by the time this tournament is over (one of the many reasons I love hosting these things :D).
Where would you recommend I start ?
Dogville
(yes, before someone asks, I know that I am not Melike.)

:D Jean is right Shizzie. Definitely Dogville. And then Manderlay.

Well then, per Lars Von Trier movie you watch, I am going to see two Hitchcock films. Ok? ;)
Brice, I suggest you get on with it. I want Melikey to watch as much Hitchcock as possible. I already made up a list in the Hitchcock thread.
Brice
08-02-2010, 06:07 PM
Okay, then I suppose I need a list Of Lars Von trier films. :D I mean of which I must watch most.
another excuse for procrastination, eh? have you already watched Dogville?
(can't outcheat a cheater, brice...)
Brice
08-03-2010, 04:10 AM
No, I wouldn't have been able to see any between asking which I should watch first and receiving an answer due to the fact that all we have by him as far as I know is The Kingdom. In this singular instance I wasn't cheating. I know....shocking, eh? :lol:

Yes, I'm still anxiously waiting for that as well :orely:
Brice
08-05-2010, 05:44 AM
Yes, of course. And of course you've no doubt read many of them.
will you wait till we've read them all?... http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear4bis.gif
Brice
08-05-2010, 08:27 AM
:rofl:
no no no...unless you're asking me to wait. :P
Yes, I understand that I may have been a little vague as far as my intentions were concerned, and didn't express myself with sufficient clarity... I'll try to remedy it now...
Get. Your. Ass. In. Gear.
don't hesitate to contact me should any further clarifications be necessary
Heather19
08-05-2010, 01:26 PM
Yes, sorry Brice but I'm with Jean :couple:
I'm in dire need of a good scary book!
fernandito
08-06-2010, 07:55 AM
Alfred Hitchcock and Sergio Leone advance !
DoctorDodge
08-06-2010, 02:20 PM
Great! I was afraid that Hitchcock wouldn't advance for a minute there, it seemed neck and neck with the other directors!
:lol:

Have you read The Monk by M. G. Lewis? I'm rather sure Jean has. Everything by Robert Aickman is advised.
Could you clarify a bit more Jean? :P
I'll try to expedite that list.
Heather19
08-06-2010, 06:01 PM
No I haven't. Nor have I read any of Aickman's stories either. I'll have to pick some up.

I am about to watch A Fistfull of Dollars, to date the only one of SL's movies that I have seen is TGTBaTU.
I prefer Yojimbo... by a long shot
Brice

Both should be considered required reading.

Both should be considered required reading. Aickman's stories are more about the feelings than any words. He was great.
how about moving all this somewhere to a book section?...
Brice
08-07-2010, 05:49 AM
Oh yes, off topic ...sorry! :(
it's just that I want to reply to your post #35, and my moderatorial consciousness doesn't let me do it here
Brice
08-07-2010, 07:55 AM
Tell me where you'd like me to send the conversation. :)
there was a thread for book recommendations somewhere...
