Hitler movies?

Sorry, I have to stick with Chaplin's The Great Dictator as sheer hilarious balziness well before the Third Reich did its worst.

Public Enemies

Quite good, but didn't really succeed at pulling me in.

EDIT: Marion Cotillard deserves a big

She deserves way more then one thumb

There is just something about french actresses She did the impossible task of making me forget about Audrey Totou who I was smitthen with after Amelie, after discovering her, god damn :eyebrows:

Tatou is nice but Amelie was a dumb movie.

 

[fabianaceeee]

What??? Amelie was pretty cool

 

[Osman]

Tatou is nice but Amelie was a dumb movie.

Dude stfu There are certain movies that get you maimed for criticising

Do your worst

Tatou is nice but Amelie was a dumb movie.

i agree with you, Delicatessen and La cité des enfants perdus much better.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet created a French favorite in Deli, but something about Amélie reeked of such unfashionable optimism that I couldn't help but really enjoy it. I'm often a pretty cynical guy -- calling for jihad on Tiger Woods, for a recent example. So for me to find Amélie that entertaining was a bit of a surprise, as was the material from its source.

Call it "dumb" if you like. But not everything I watch can be Cidade de Deus.

(It also doesn't hurt that it's the Francophone version of my wife's name. )

 

[Martin]

Sheesh, people are printing "we want Balotelli dead" and I get in trouble for saying Amelie was dumb? It's time you adjust your sensibilities, people.

 

[Osman]

In trouble? I was kidding based on past movie hang up with you

But I maintain what I said of Amelie in terms of praising it, Swag said it well, it just makes you smile, very unique movie, I didnt bother analyzing it, it just made me grin and was very lovely. Perfecting word to describe it is the very definition of charming

European cinema, for the most part, is pretty jaded. High art is often equated with dark humor, morbidity, and angst. Amélie comes off as a daring movie in that context.

If Disney made it, I'd probably need an extra large shot of insulin to keep from going into a sugar coma. But given its roots, it kind of demonstrated a kind of anti-anti-establishment. Kind of like the way a Norwegian band like Turbonegro can rebel against the rebellion of the local black metal by playing up the gay image.

You Don't Mess With the Zohan- How can a film this racist be so unfunny? terible, avoid like the plague.

then he should make it a short 5-8 minutes kind like this: a whole movie is too much and my apologies to the wifey

You are way past my stop, this is Deneb territory.

Exactly, it isn't one of those movies that makes you analyze what's going on, but when it ended I didn't want those two hours of my life back.

The previews seemed boring

 

[IrishZebra]

The previews seemed boring

Adam Sandler engages with Jewish Arab and Homosexual stereotypes with no comedic value. It's straight out of south park

 

[fabianaceeee]

I want a really funny and inappropriate comedy to come out... haven't watched a good one in months
