Hairy men in tight leather shorts, IIRC. 

there's not much around that doesn't have a single flaw. And it's helpful to sum up what doesn't work. This doesn't mean you don't like it (most people actually think it does, and feel offended and/or irritated).

That said, most stuff that tries to appeal "to the masses" simply doesn't work for me. An exception might be your mum. 

and foreign stuff and can actually find this, Larisa Sheptiko's Wings is a phenomenal post-war soviet drama set in Russia with the main character an ex-army pilot who misses the war and the purpose it gave her life.

Easily slots in to my top 20-25 movies I have seen.

and 9.5/10 

Yeah - all the people are wrong if they take your pointing out only the flaws of stuff as being overly critical / negative. I wonder how anyone would get that idea!

Seriously, I don't really care either way, I just noticed that you're always negative about pretty much everything. I just hope your super high standards don't make you a lonely guy ;-) 

Excellent. Nice. 10/10 

Soleil Rouge/Red Sun

Some just about average western with Charles Bronson (somehow I do not like him, he's got a weird face and appearance, almost like the clown Klaus Kinski. I just cannot take his characters serious. Once upon a time in the west would have been even better with a better actor for his role in my opinion. 

Watch your parentheses! You're making all programmers uncomfortable! 

expected ), found . 

Heh, I noticed it right when the click was done. Thought about putting it in a follow up post but decided against it. } 

I feel disoriented. 

Red Sun has more wrong with it than just Charles Bronson. The tone is all over the place. Ursula Andress looks hot though. 

Yes and yes. I think The Unforgiven is next. 

yeah, right. 

as in The Unforgiven with burt lancaster and audrey hepburn or Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood.

Latter is excellent, former I havent seen so would like comments if you're seeing that one. 

Films I've seen, either acting or directing. 

boo 

 

gran torino a lot. 

The 1992 one with Clint Eastwood. Starting now. 

Did you see "Midnight in the Garden of Good And Evil"?

That was one of the few Eastwood films I really disliked. That and "Flag of Our Fathers". 

Ok, watched it. 7/10 or something for me. Too 80s/90s/US-american/Hollywood. Very trying to build up, I almost called it a day after 45 minutes. A lot of silly profanity, *yawn* soundtrack, manly ending. The pimp kinda looked like metl. 

I used to watch a lot of films and listen to a lot of music. On music I was the guy to ask for a while.

No time any more.

One of my 'new years' resolutions is to one day go through this thread and watch everything Nitin has rated over 6.

If that's Eastwood's iconic shit film then he's not failed yet. 

interesting because I thought Flags was good but Iwo Jima really bugged me.

Gran Torino was overrated but good.

hmm, Unforgiven, I'd give it 7.5 myself but quite liked it, especially the editing from memory.

ijed, that'll take forever :) I'd bump it up to 7.5, that would cut out quite a few!
