Triumph of the Will.

It is an evil movie, but it is also without question absolutely brilliant.

Continuing my campaign for more Asian films:

Tokyo Story: An absolute masterpiece from Yasujiro Ozu.

Throne of Blood: Kurosawa turns MacBeth into a samurai drama, with Toshiro Mifune and (as Japan’s Lady MacBeth) Isuzu Yamada.

Tokyo Twilight: One of Ozu’s lesser known films but any feminist who sees it despises it because of its negative portrayal of abortion.

To Live: Zhang Yimou classic which was nearly banned in China because of some anti-Maoist themes.

The Twilight Samurai: Great story promoting family values.

A Tale of Two Sisters: Ultra-creepy, complex, bizarre, and visually beautiful horror film from South Korea.

Thunder Road: Robert Mitchum as a Korean vet moonshine runner. Low budget gem!

Tremors: Good sci-fi doesn’t always mean big budgets. One of the best sci-fi B movies of the 1990s. Michael Gross and Reba McIntyre shine as the Gummers.

Them!: Another of the best ‘Science run amok’ sci-fi flicks of the 1950s. Along with ‘The Thing From Another World’ which tops the list of 1950s ‘Red Scare’ films. John Carpenter knew he couldn’t comete with the overlaying dialog of the original and made up for it with superb special effects.

Thank You For Smoking: Excellent black comedy about the political theater of the anti-smoking campaign. Aaron Eckhardt shines!

They Were Expendable: The best and surprisingly one of the most overlooked John Ford WWII film.

Thief: Michael Mann’s first film for the big screen. James Caan gives the most tightly wound performance of his career leading an exceptional supporting cast revealing little seen glimpses into the ‘How To’ of high-end criminal enterprise. Robert Prosky is evil personified.

To Live And Die In L.A.: William Friedken shifts gears and coasts to let a passle of then unknown actors perform some of their beat work to date. William Peterson and Willem Dafoe excel in this little known gem!

Jack.

Twelve Monkeys (Bruce Willis)

That was one of the strangest, most depressing movies I've ever seen. For some reason I liked it.

Yes 12 Monkeys was strange and depressing. I didn't like it. Last night we watched an even weirder movie, Ballad of the Sad Cafe. Weird depressing and impossible to understand what was going on. It was on the IFC on Direct Tv and I would not recommend it to anyone. We only watched till the end to try and understand what the point was. The only thing we could come up with was to depict the southern US of the 30’s as a even stranger and more backward place that it actually was.

Yep... just like Pearl Harbour.

They take a historically significant and exciting chain of events and use it as a medium for a love story/chick flick.
