my fave's this morning

the best battle scenes ever filmed, peter jackson used it as the template for lotr.

i must have watched this every day over the summer it was released - and at one stage could repeat the script verbatim! it still entertains 22 years later :)

love the montages, love the intimate world thats created, love all the characters and bill murray is at a career high in this!

Rural french drama where an old man and his only relative cast their covetous eyes on the adjoining property - as it has a natural spring, which would be perfect for their latest venture. However, they deliberately set to mischief and block the spring when they discover that the man and his family who have inherited the property and land will be moving in, their intention is to ruin them and make them move away, thus buying the property for a knock down pice. They cruelly watch him toil through the long intense heat of the summer carrying pails of water from the bottom of the steep hill to feed his vegetables, breaking him and leading his family to desperation. Magical.

Utterly brilliant in every way. just the way i feel about things too. I relate to this film more and more on so many different levels as time goes on too, surely the mark of quality.

final part in this impressive trilogy.

sumptuous cinematography and beautiful acting from all involved. my favourite in a while.

medication time, medication time! - one of those great films you wish you were re-watching as your watching it. happy bits and very sad bits topped off with incredible performances from everybody. milos foreman is very under-rated and rarely pops up in the top directors lists and i really dont know why after watching this awesome film.
