What is The Last Movie You Watched?

I liked Melancholia a lot - but it certainly as not in the Tarkovsky class. Two of my favourite films were Andrei Rublev and Solaris.

And yes the movie was a desperate parade of cliches. 'd no idea what it was about (it hasn't opened or been reviewed in the UK yet. I see many new films early, especially at this time of the year, a judge in two major awards events).

Despite good intentions, a touching subject and a moving storyline, this one is a mix between melodrama, Walt Disney fairy tales and Steven Spielberg family movies. So much sweets you could get diabetes. It’s the story of a boy who’s father dies in the World Trade Center. He thinks he was left with a key and starts searching in New York what it can open... It’s enormous! not credible for a moment and utterly ridiculous. Two hours of my time lost to nothingness…

Just watched 1981, Lucio Fulci’s “The House by the Cemetery”. So terrible it’s adorable! Everything is awful in that movie, the acting, the music, the set, the direction: it’s a masterpiece in mediocrity. I simply loved it!

"Combat Girl" (Kriegerin) a German film about neo-Nazis. A very powerful bit of film making about the tragic outcome of ignorance and race hate.

and "A Royal Affair", Danish movie about the true life romance, in 18th century Denmark, between the English born queen of a mad monarch and an idealistic German doctor who utilises his growing influence to introduce a wide range of enlightenment inspired reforms. The conflict between this couple and the forces of Conservatism, married to a love story, is beautifully told - and pertinent.

Tony Manero - Difficult to watch and impossible to stop.

I'm not really up on Chilean politics to really appreciate the underlying commentary, but watching a mans obsession take him over was unnerving and compelling.

Never heard of that film. Not that informed about most contemporary latin American cinema except Argentina.

It's a really good film, but you lose a lot at a second viewing when you know what happens next.

I know Argentinia is supposed to have a reasonable film industry, and I think I saw a film once, but it could have been from anywhere in South America.

I will probably watch the "The Secret in their eyes" hollywood remake. (Because I'm rubbish like that)

The Long Goodbye with Elliot Gould. I don't particularly care for Robert Altman films but this one was really great. Elliot Gould is in his prime. He's completely natural and looks fantastic in his inimitable dishevelled style. I love the juxtaposition of the 40s and the 70s. I love the way he tries to lie to his cat the same way he is lied to throughout the film. I love the lone man with moral scruples in a world that has none. I loved it and want to watch it again right now.
You can watch it instantly on Netflix.

One of Fulci's best. That little kid was so death worthy.

Classic Pete Walker.
