Surrounded by the Order

Well now it's Friday and you've got no chance for a Saturday delivery thus another weekend slips by and you still haven't seen it.

The film is uplifting, and it is deeply depressing. A bit like Turn My Feet. WWII was vast, and the implications to society today are evident in abundance, in our modern life. This alone should prompt people to watch and learn (even if the failure to include the vast majority of allied forces in favour of more American troops with cool cigars is a disappointing factor).

Its top 5 in my film list, if you don't see it soon I might have to drive to D.C. and buy it from your local store and then take you 'round to your mates with the good sound system and his magical balancing box and then you can both appreciate it.

Hire it. Buying it is too excessive.

(I own it - but it was a present).

My friend with the super sound system lives in California, so that's a little bit of a drive just to watch a movie, H. Renting a movie is about as hard for me to imagine as renting a CD; I've never done it. But even if I'd oredered it yesterday, it wouldn't have arrived in time for this weekend. Does it have singing and dancing?

OK, H I just ordered it from Amazon.

That's better.

Now when you watch it, watch it from the beginning with few interruptions. Imagine its an MTV awards ceremony - I know you'll be glued to the set if you think that.

There isn't a great deal of dancing, or singing, but there is a very poignant moment with a gramophone, if that would suffice.

In return, I'm willing to accept an idea for a 'really' good film?

Being John Malkovitch. That's a really good film.

That's hard, H. What about Singing In The Rain?

... interesting, I watched this film, I thought it was a bit disappointing.

That answer was in reference to Being Jeff Maple Farm.

Singing in The Rates is too wolly. A bit soft 'round the edges.

I was thinking more along the lines of a deep pyschological thing with strong scenes of violence and excellent surround sound.

methinks you should change your question to what is a great film for me to test my surround sound then!

bjm is a top film.

aforementioned jacobs ladder sounds like it fits the bill

Black Hawk Down, perhaps?

I thought the lighting in BJM was a little dim.

Plus it's hard to take John Cusack seriously since he appeared in a Julia Roberts film.

There appears to be a certain amount of confusion in this thread now, thanks mainly to Hibsty and his blatant accusation that I cannot appreciate a movie without the surround sound power unit on full melt.

I suggest to shift this topic to the ulti-purpose chatting room now before it is closed down for the winter.

I think the main problem with Being Jacob Marmalade a Touch was that JM, in real life, is quite boring (excellent in some interviews) so accordingly, the film was quite boring. Although I can understand if people really liked it.

It would probably have been a better film if it was Being Clint Eastwood during his best years as a gunslinger. But some people might have found that boring.

Benny, I assume, wouldn't have even hired it out.

Wasn't Being Boring a PSB song?

Yes, and it really was boring.

Good album though, Behaviour.
