(Kiss my lips to return) Ê
Right, heres the score. The ladies back at you pad, you have a bottle of Jacobs Creek, Hagen Daz Cookies and Cream and a film. The question is what sort of film do you slip into the DVD (A tip here, get a DVD player, VHS and Betamax are so 20th Century)? With my guied you will get it!!!
Total Recall
Rambo - First Blood
Preditor
L'Appartement
Comando
Pulp Fiction
Dirty Harry - The Dead Pool
Boy meets girl. Girl's a double agent. Boy Kills girls. Inspired. Heartwrenching.
The kind of film you find yourself watching on Channel 4 on a Wednesday night and then wondering why people don't have Intersection parties. Best for the earthy nobility of the female characters in the face of wimpish indecision from the man.
Deserves a place in the list purely for the long lingering camera shots of the two leads, as though the camera were as besotted with them as they are with each other. Also for its underlying message about love.
A film in which everyone seems to love everyone else so dippily it's astonishing it can all turn out so badly. But they do look exceeding fair as their emotional lives crumble around them.
Only an Englishman could come up with a love story in which two people meet at a railway station and then never meet again. But not every Englishman: the lead actor thought that the not-quite-lovers should have, well... been lovers. And said so, in venal terms, before the start of every shot, However that's Brief Encounter, this is Comando, Blood, guts and Guns. Great!
A bit of an intelecical film this one. The sense of yearning and inevitability set up by the starcrossed lovers in this film, who sweetly believe that fate will bring them together, even at the ends of the earth, is unendurable. Weep, and weep freely, and a great scene with the GIMP
That's enough highbrow liberal sneering. You enjoyed it and you know you did. You probably cried too. Tears of helpless laughter, but tears all the same. And G'nR are in it
