I can't wait to see The Life of Oharu sometime this week. It's one of Kenji Mizoguchi's masterpieces. I've been looking forward to it for months. It stars Kinuyo Tanaka. She gave great performances in:

Equinox Flower
The Ballad of Narayama
Ugetsu
Sansho the Bailiff

I also want to see her in:

Ornamental Hairpin
Red Beard

Well thanks to you too. Nice to hear back as you are very nice and intelligent. You made me smile... it is nice to know there's a few respectful and thoughtful people floating around on here! Your movie selections were very unique to me. I'll have to look into them Cheesy

Tough to narrow down... mostly old school, its tough to find good movies these days.
Surprised office space hasn't made it to the list yet, so I will start there!

Grand Torino. Best I've recently seen. I'm a big Clint Eastwood fan and this movie hit home for me. It made me reflect on my relationship with my parents and how I never want to become someone who takes those we love for granted. The ending when they go through his will was probably my favorite ending of any movie. Kind of leaves a lump in ones throat. So many of us think the world owes us something... not sure why... seems to be a generational thing though. It's like the silver spoon of living in a first world country has messed with our moral compass in some way. I know I'm being stereotypical and painting everyone with the same brush but that's just how I view, in general, most of society... I know there are many many great people out there but we all need to put ourselves in check sometimes.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful post, demonstrating your appreciation for the film, and an insightful take on how a film can be perceived and affect someone. You've also, indirectly, showed what components in a film, among perhaps others, speak to you.

Martin Scorsese goes into some nice detail into the methods, time and expense of a full film restoration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjv755LkaIE

To many of you,

Some explanations, please.

Popping in and sniping off a name of a film doesn't really lend integrity or validity to one's choice. Try and demonstrate some cinematic knowledge, or at least show that this forum isn't mostly comprised of just a bunch of twelve year olds.

Posting a title and running is not really indicative of one who is interested in discourse on the subject.
