Re: What is The Last Movie You Watched?
Most recent fil I saw was a 1945 film noir - largely forgotten - about spies called "The House on 92nd Street."

Re: What is The Last Movie You Watched?
Didn't like Modern Times, Prospero? A most savoury social critic in a relatively loose succession of humorous sketches. Indeed, some of Chaplin's are terribly corny; but with the means he had, I wonder how powerful it might have been at the time. Is "Nosferatu" scary today, for instance? Yet we still admire the expressionist images and symbolism of Murnau's movies (Faust equally, for instance). I don't know; difficult to say with the time elapsed...

The original Nosferatu is no particularly scarey no - but then nor is Psycho. The remake of Nosferatu by Werner Herzog works well still. Film has to be judged in its context.

Re: What is The Last Movie You Watched?
i think i have said this before but for me the scariest movie of all time has to be the exorcist. perhaps it is because i was a wee little lad when my father let me watch it.

Surprised your dad let you watch it Rally. And yes... it was very very unsettling.

"Winter's Bone", a naturalistic, low-key film about rural poverty in the US with a stunning central performance by Jennifer Lawrence.
Hoping to see the new German film, "Barbara" with Nina Hoss, about the DDR in the 1980s in Cambridge at the weekend. Reviews tip the hat towards "The Lives of Others", probably the best film of the present century so far.

"Barbara" is no where near as good as "The Lives Of Others" (though the setting is similar - the DDR)

Verdammt! That said, Nina Hoss is worth watching in every movie she makes. "Yella" and "Anonymous" in particular. Originally Posted by Prospero

Re: What is The Last Movie You Watched?
The Lives of Others was a fascinating movie. Narrative conducted like a tragedy. Reminded me a bit of Kieslowski…
