Got two off the top of my head and they are worlds apart. Breakfast Club and Apocalypse Now (and Redux, that's two version for the unknowing)

pdxPope · « **Reply #7 on:** March 11, 2009, 05:12:33 AM »

Worlds apart for sure!

Funny thing, I usually prefer the director's cut of anything, but I felt that the studio release of Apocalypse Now was actually better than the Redux. I think all the stuff that was cut out was just extra weirdness for the sake of weirdness.
Either version is still an incredibly powerfull film. As a matter of fact, I almost put it as my fave.

Impossible,

...... for me to narrow down to one movie.

The Yellow Sky with Gregory Peck comes to mind. Made about 20 years before (1948?) The Wild Bunch with William Holden, this was a western showing dirty, grungy cowboys when all other movies were filled with sanitized DrugStore Cowboys sparkling clean all the time. Love the scenes of them crossing the harsh desert, dying on their feet.

Another favorite, on the other far end of the spectrum, Blade Runner, now scary as heck because genetic manipulation is in fact here. Great photography, with the use of such heavy light and dark scenes with color film. Not an easy job to do; was much easier to create moods like that with black and white film. Synthesized music from Vangelis sets the mood perfectly

One with David Niven, about a pilot from WWII, who dies(?) on an operating table. A Matter Of Life and Death, sometimes called Stairway To Heaven. Love the doctor who rides what may be a Triumph motorcycle. He also has a telescope for watching stars and planets; he sometimes uses it on neighbors to see what they're up to

Great story.

Say Schmthaus,

Did you by any chance get the opportunity to watch it? If you did, what did you think about it?
