If you haven't seen Heat or Black Hawk Down, DO IT! Those are two of my absolute favorite movies.

heat : http://us.imdb.com/Title?0113277
good movie but a little too long, but it has the best bank heist scene that I have ever seen.
Memento is excellent, one of my favorites.

Yeah got that on DVD, the bank heist scene is fucking great! Worth it for that alone :)
Black Hawk Down is good but not brilliant. I prefered Saving Private Ryan's gritty and realistic outlook on war, and its consequences. Black Hawk Down does do this as well to a degree, but goes into no-where near as much detail. For actual battle scenes though not much comes close (Again SPR does rival it here though). I geuss it just depends how you like war to be portrayed on the screen. I found that the first time I watched SPR I was genuinely looking away from the screen when something particaualy grusome was happening (In particular at the end fight where that German slowly pushes the knife into that american soldiers throat) while with BHD It was more of a "Wholey shit thats grusome, but so cool at the same time" kind of affair.

If you weren't wild about the first you won't like this one either.
 SPR Vs BHD
#122 posted by H-Hour on 2003/06/27 22:13:17
I think the big difference is character development. SPR was all about it. BHD had very little. I had read the book first, so I had all the character development going into it, as well as a good understanding of what was happening at all times.
I agree it depends on how you like war given to you. Personally, I really enjoyed how much BHD avoided sentimentality. It took you into the battle a little more, which made it more chaotic, confusing and exhausting, so that you only really get a chance to think about the big picture when it was over.
The other factor that affects me, is that BHD is really the only war movie about modern special forces that got things fairly accurate. I was quite tired of these movies where 3 guys hold off 10,000 people, rescue the beautiful woman, and suffer only minor wounds because they were "special forces" so they can apparently dodge bullets.
 SPR & BHD
#123 posted by nitin on 2003/06/27 23:15:55
I dont think either are great. Like I said before, IMHO BHD is a glorification of war but it is a visually stunning movie. And I'm with h-hour on the no sentimentality aspect actually working in favour of the film.
As for SPR, vastly overrated film apart from the the first 30 mins and the last 30 mins. the rest is a war road movie with setpieces every 10 mins or so. Again, it's visually stunning but like daz said, it feels more gruesome than cool.
Both good, but nto great IMHO.
 Anyone Hear About The Upcoming 9 Disc Alien Set?
#124 posted by nitin on 2003/06/27 23:27:12
and I watched the thing, good stuff, Il iked it a lot. Pity the video quality on the dvd isnt better.
Alien Quadrilogy (DVD): Some exciting disc news today for fans of great sci-fi. DVDBoxOffice.com has details on Fox's Alien Quadrology set which has set a tentative release of November 11th, and what's coming sounds quite cool. You will be able to play both the theatrical version and James Cameron's 'Special Edition' version of "Aliens", the former of which has never been released before on this format (only the SE has been available). "Alien Resurrection" will feature an alternate opening and ending (incl. crashdown on Earth), and biggest news of all is David Fincher's unreleased full 170 min original version of "Alien 3" will be here - almost a full hour longer than the theatrical print. The ninth disc in the set will include "Alien Legacy" Documentary, "Alien Evolution" BBC Documentary, Darkhorse Alien and Alien vs. Predator comics, and the complete collection of Laser Disc features which weren't on the previous DVD box-set. Thanks to 'The Fatfish Returns'.

The long version of Alien3 would be worth watching. Any version of Alien:Resurrection would not. Except the version where the entire cast, production crew, Joss Whedon and the Fox executives are locked in the cargo hold when the ship hits the ground. I'd pay real money to see that.
And the BBC documentary isn't as good as it might have been - should of had less of Weaver and more of...well everyone else frankly. Especially Cobb. :D
 Long Version Of Alien3
#126 posted by nitin on 2003/06/28 01:40:46
maybe, but it would have to be some huge alterations to turn it into anytihng decent.
 Still..
#127 posted by starbuck on 2003/06/28 03:17:35
it sounds good, i'll probably be buying that set, as I havent got any of the films on DVD.
Thats presuming it costs less than a house
 I Like Alien3.
#128 posted by Shambler on 2003/06/28 08:08:49
I like the more understated, bleak, detached feel. I think it kinda works as a contrast to the original hi-tension of Alien and the gung-ho action of Aliens.
But I recognise I'm in a minority (of 1?) here...
 Heh

about war movies, I agree with nitin on BHD... I thought it was quite horrible (production is good tho). SPR was nice, fight scenes were cool... I still think Thin Red Line is one of the coolest war movies ever.
aliens 3 is great, dont understand why people dont like it... not enough guns I suppose.
 Fek Off
#131 posted by DaZ on 2003/06/28 09:32:48
Alien 3 is ok, it doesn't wow me like Alien and Aliens do, and its far better than ressurection. Its just missing something, a thing which made the first 2 films great, I just dont know what that thing is...
Maybe its flamethrowers, or smartguns, or apc's, or dropships, or power loaders, or jockeys, or lv426, or knives and sharp sticks.
ARGH!
 Suspense And Freshness
#132 posted by nitin on 2003/06/28 10:53:16
is what are missing. The first one had atmosphere to spare and great tension and suspense whilst the second one was a hell of an adrenaline ride once it got going.
The third one doesnt have the action of the second one as there's only one alien and nowhere near the tension level or freshness of the first since you already know so much about the alien species.
 I Think Alien Resurrection Is Worth Watching...
