Speaking of Asian films, I had this Koroshiya 1 or Ichi the killer recommended to me recently. Worth seeing?[/quote]
It’s a nice film to see if you’re super into gore-porn. It’s no “Braindead” or “Story Of Ricky”, but it can be pretty satisfying at times to see the violence and murder. I’d watch it just because it’s fun and probably worth it, but don’t expect some kind of Asian masterpiece outside of the great gore aspect. I’d probably watch it again.[/quote]
I never have been big into the gore porn genre. I have watched several but they just never sat right with me and don’t leave me with the kind of feeling I like to have after watching a movie. I see you have one of my favorite all time as your avi. What is your favorite all time movie Kahuna, or most willing to watch repeatedly if that makes it easier? [/quote]
Oh if you don’t like gore then don’t watch it, it won’t resonate with you at all, it’s really just a vicious display of prolonged violence, doesn’t have much rhyme or reason.
Yeah I love An American Werewolf, that transformation scene with Blue Moon in the background chills me every time, I only watched it again this morning.
My personal favourite is Pulp Fiction. I should clarify that my favourites differ from what I believe to be the absolute closest to perfect films, but I think Pulp Fiction to some extent qualifies extremely well for that too. It’s my favourite more for just life relevance, growing up and moulding my personality. I also enjoy every little thing about that film, I think it naturally became my favourite just for how much I adore it’s trivia, characters, dialogue (I fucking adore the dialogue to no end) and style.
I threw up a quick explanation of why it’s my favourite in this thread below (also my first film thread on the site, I’ll save that for the scrapbook album), I could probably delve much further on why I love it as a film than as an inspirational idea, but that’s a nice basic hold on it, if I were to really go into it we’d be here for hours.
I also had a quit chat with Push in the Film Scenes thread I made about the transformation scene from An American Werewolf, but from what I recall it wasn’t particularly long or meaningful.
My three favourites of all time on the same kind of reasoning are:
- Pulp Fiction
- A Clockwork Orange
- Raging Bull
Although my top five tend to change around, those three stay solidly consistent. How about you? What are your favourites if you were to pick a few? (Also aimed at Karado if he cares to join.)
