Filmie Films Rough Draft

[sfer]

It might be easier for you to start a list of non-filmie movies.

Lawrence of Arabia? From Here to Eternity? Dr. Zhivago? Probably some Hitchcock movie should be on here?

This makes it sound like people over the age of 50 are automatically filmies.

Not at all...Just people that are in love with "classics" that aren't really that good. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

But o.k. I'd add Eyes Wide Shut to the list too. It's newer.

Usually when I watch classics I can easily find elements in them that make them great, but overall I don't fully enjoy the experience. There are really cool aspects of Citizen Kane. Seven Samurai is amazing on some levels. But they don't really translate well into the 21st century. But these films were groundbreaking. Sure maybe today Ty Cobb wouldn't be able to hit Curt Schilling's fastball, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a great baseball player.

They don't have to be old. This isn't an old vs. new thing. It's those movies, old or new, that were kind of mediocre that filmies feel they have to absolutely love, or at least pretend to love.

I'm just making the point that the "filmie" classics shouldn't be lumped with the "filmie" modern movies that just aren't that good.

David Lynch has to make an appearance. Probably Blue Velvet. Also, you have to have a foreign film or two (maybe the three colors trilogy?)

Is Amelie a filmie film? It is one of my favorites.
