No, you've lost a lot of highbrow cred there. It's fashionable to regard Welles as a misunderstood genius but his version of Macbeth sucked. |

No. You are dead wrong. It was an excellent adaptation. Maybe not as good as his Mercury Theater King Lear, but an excellent use of film. I think it is probably more fashionable these days to p*ss on Orson Welles. |

He certainly had his moments but his weird deviations from the script in Macbeth did nothing for me. |

Well, I've been 'driving' the topic so far and, yes, it's based on movies only. I threw the floor open to anyone a while back but nobody took my kind offer up ( :lol: ), so I've got a list that I'm currently going through. If you have a 'Top 5' you want to contribute then, I'm very happy to hear your suggestions!

Round 42: TOP 5 MOST UNDESERVED 'BEST PICTURE' OSCAR WINNER & WHAT SHOULD HAVE WON INSTEAD! I never pay attention to this award, but I do know that "How Green Was My Valley" won over "Citizen Kane" in 1941 and "Mrs Miniver" beat "The Magnificent Ambersons" in 1942. They should have just closed up shop after that.
I agree with this completely. "The Killing Fields" was excellent. |

What do you think about Amadeus, Lissa? It may be a presumption, but I'd have thought that you'd be well read regarding Mozart's life as well as his music, seeing as he's a composer very close to your heart. |

It's not to say that Shakespeare In Love wasn't a great film and in many other years it would have deserved to win, especially the previous year when pretty much anything deserved to win over Titanic. But it wasn't a patch on Saving Private Ryan. I guess they felt they'd already given Spielberg and award for a war film so he didn't get another one. That's the thing that shits me about the Oscars - it's all about whose turn it is. For instance, of all the films that Paul Newman might have won an Oscar for, he eventually got it for The Colour of Money. I guess they figured it was their last chance. Similarly, Winona Ryder deserved to win many times she was nominated but didn't. Now that she's been through the obligatory public breakdown, she'll stand a chance next time she's nominated. Sympathy vote, y'know. But I digress.... 1 The aforementioned Shakepeare in Love (Saving Private Ryan) 2 Titanic (take your pick - let's say Good Will Hunting. Or LA Confidential. Any of them really) 3 Rain Man (The Accidental Tourist) {not saying Rain Man was a bad film, just not as good as it could have been. Great performances, but rather obvious in places and rampant product placement.} 4 Around the World in 80 Days (Giant) 5 Marty (Mister Roberts) |

Really? I adore A Man For All Seasons and thought that was a great pick. Yes Virigina Woolf was wonderful, but I think A Man For All Seasons was more suited. I do agree with you Bonnie and Clyde should have won. Amazing film. |

I agree with Midnight Express and Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? over their respective winners, but the other three... Well, they're interesting choices, Gary, (and you're going to think that I'm picking on you because of the whole Flying debate - but I'm honestly not!) and while I believe that all of your alternative suggestions would have been valid winners, I just can't say that the winners were undeserved. The Sting, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest and In The Heat Of The Night are all fantastic films all, respectively, worthy of winning the 'best picture' Oscar. As were your alternative suggestions, of course.

We were both right about "Flying" - for what the song was/is, I am right in saying people are "too" critical - and for what it wasn't, you are right in comparing it to "real" songs. Also, I don't mind being "picked on" - my skin isn't that thin. Anyway, that's what friends do, isn't it?
I won't bore you with my reasons, but I really did not like those three movies - I am a huge Nicholson fan, though. |

This could be the longest post in the history of this board. Or not. I have read the occasional book and written a paper or two on Mozart. While I am no Alfred Einstein, I probably know more about Mozart than I do anyone I have never personally met. But what does this have to do with "Amadeus"? That film is the story of Cain and Abel. If you ignore the blatant historical, character, music and factual inaccuracies, it is a mildly amusing film with great music. In all fairness, it never claimed to be a biography of Mozart (or even Salieri). Peter Shaffer specifically wrote the play as the Cain and Abel parable, based on Pushkin's play (which claims that Salieri killed Mozart). That is why it is called "Amadeus", which means "loved by God". Mozart himself preferred Amadč, so if you were to write an accurate biography and give it his middle name (for some reason), you would probably not use Amadeus. I wrote my senior thesis on Mozart myths. There are many. "Amadeus" repeats many of them and even makes up a few on the way. I used to blame the film for misleading the public into believing an inaccurate portrayal of the man, but there is no evidence to suggest that anyone involved in the film ever promoted it as a biography. People simply assumed it was. I cannot fault the filmmakers for that. |

Why "Crimes And Misdemeanors"? Because of what did not happen to you know who? You can tell me in code. I have seen it 1,000 times. I think "Match Point" was more surprising. |

Yes, because - simply put - nothing happened, no retribution, a lessening sense of guilt... I thought it was a magnificent plot twist and very representitive of life and not simply drama. Match Point was a bit of a re-telling of Crimes & Misdemeanors set in stereotypical England, wasn't it? I enjoyed it enough, but the film didn't really speak to me about the London I know and the plot similarities to C & M's left me feeling as if I'd seen the film before. |

"Crimes And Misdemeanors" was the superior film, but the ending was not surprising or twisty. It was very realistic, though. I found what happened to Character X in "Match Point" far more surprising, especially in a Woody Allen film. It might not have been very representative of London, but I will let you in on a little secret. Most of his films are not very realistic depictions of life in New York. |

Round 44: TOP 5 WOODY ALLEN MOVIES Interiors (1978) Written and Directed by Woody Allen Director of Photography - Gordon Willis Starring Diane Keaton, Mary Beth Hurt, Kristin Griffith, Geraldine Page, Sam Waterston, EG Marshall, Maureen Stapleton, Richard Jordan Joey (Mary Beth Hurt): I feel the need to express something, but I don't know what it is I want to express. Or how to express it. Woody plays Bergman, and does a pretty good job (ironically, he offered the Geraldine Page part to Ingrid Bergman, but she was busy working on perhaps the greatest Ingmar Bergman film at the time). Stardust Memories (1980) Written and Directed by Woody Allen Director of Photography - Gordon Willis Starring Woody Allen, Charlotte Rampling, Jessica Harper, Marie-Christine Barrault, Tony Roberts, Daniel Stern, Louise Lasser, Laraine Newman With tiny parts by newcomers Sharon Stone, Brent Spiner, Armin Shimerman and Alan Colmes Sandy Bates (Woody Allen): Shouldn't I stop making movies and do something that counts, like helping blind people or becoming a missionary or something? UFO (Woody Allen): Let me tell you, you're not the missionary type. You'd never last. And incidentally, you're also not Superman. You're a comedian. You want to do mankind a real service? Tell funnier jokes. Woody does Fellini and pisses off his fan base by combining comedy and drama (which most of his fans now seem to prefer). Filmmed in early 1980, it includes a scene where a deranged fan calls out his name before shooting him at close range with a pistol. Shadows And Fog (1992) Written and Directed by Woody Allen Director of Photography - Carlo Di Palma, Music by Kurt Weill Starring Woody Allen, Mia Farrow, John Cusack, Julie Kavner, Wallace Shawn, Kenneth Mars, John Malkovich, Jodie Foster, Lilly Tomlin, Kathy Bates, David Ogden Stiers, Donald Pleasence, Kate Nelligan, Fred Gwynne, Michael Kirby, Madonna, Kurtwood Smith, John C Reilly, William H Macy Clown (John Malkovich): It's the hardest job in the world, trying to make people laugh. Woody does Kafka. The cast alone is worth the price of admission. Of little note: This is his most expensive film, mostly because it required the largest interior motion picture set ever built in New York. Not something we expect from a Woody Allen film. The Purple Rose Of Cairo (1985) Written and Directed by Woody Allen Director of Photography - Gordon Willis Starring Mia Farrow, Jeff Daniels, Danny Aiello, Dianne Wiest, Edward Herrmann, Van Johnson, Glenne Headly, Michael Tucker Cecilia (Mia Farrow): I just met a wonderful new man. He's fictional, but you can't have everything. Woody does Chaplin and depresses the hell out of his audience. Radio Days (1987) Written and Directed by Woody Allen Director of Photography - Carlo Di Palma, Music by Dick Hyman Starring Seth Green, Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest, Julie Kavner, Michael Tucker, Josh Mostel, Wallace Shawn, Kenneth Mars, Jeff Daniels, Tony Roberts, Danny Aiello, Gina DeAngelis, Mercedes Ruehl, Kitty Carlisle Hart, Renee Lippin, Todd Field, Joy Newman, Rebecca Schaeffer, William H Macy, Larry David, Don Pardo, Tito Puente, Diane Keaton, Woody Allen Narrator (Woody Allen): For some miraculous reason, it's a wonderful feeling having a teacher you've seen dance naked in front of a mirror. Woody pays homage to Orson Welles and his own childhood. This is a comedy, but the Polly Phelps story always makes me cry. And if you do not, you are dead inside. |

Thanks for that detailed 'Top 5', Lissa. I have yet to see Stardust Memories, but love the other four you've posted. I'm also a big fan of Take The Money & Run, mainly because it's a very funny movie... plus about half-a-dozen other Woody films which haven't been mentioned here. As I said, a 'Top 5' for Woody just isn't enough.

Round 45: TOP 5 ALFRED HITCHCOCK MOVIES I'm going to take Lissa's approach here, courtesy of IMDb: 1. Rope (1948) - James Stewart, John Dall, Farley Granger, Cedric Hardwicke, Joan Chandler Manhattan socialites Brandon Shaw (Dall) and Phillip Morgan (Granger) choke the life out of an associate, David, as an intellectual challenge to commit the perfect murder. Not content to escape the penalty of law by simply disposing of the body quietly, they furthermore devise an elaborate and dangerous display of arrogance: The two stuff David's lifeless body into a chest and throw a dinner party serving their guests, literally, from the convenient tabletop of the young man's grave. 2. Strangers On A Train (1951) - Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, Robert Walker, Leo G. Carroll Psychotic mother's boy Bruno Anthony (Walker) meets famous tennis professional Guy Haines (Granger) on a train. Guy wants to move into a career in politics and has been dating a senator's daughter while awaiting a divorce from his wife. Bruno wants to kill his father, but knows he will be caught because he has a motive. Bruno dreams up a crazy scheme whereby he and Guy exchange murders. Guy takes this as a joke, but Bruno is serious and takes things into his own hands. 3. Psycho (1960) - Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin Phoenix officeworker Marion Crane (Leigh) is fed up with the way life has treated her. She has to meet her lover Sam (Gavin) in lunch breaks and they cannot get married because Sam has to give most of his money away in alimony. One Friday Marion is trusted to bank $40,000 by her employer. Seeing the opportunity to take the money and start a new life, Marion leaves town and heads towards Sam's California store. Tired after the long drive and caught in a storm, she gets off the main highway and pulls into The Bates Motel. The motel is managed by a quiet young man called Norman (Perkins) who seems to be dominated by his mother. 4. North By Northwest (1959) - Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Leo G. Carroll, Martin Landau Middle-aged Madison Avenue advertising executive Roger O. Thornhill (Grant) is mistaken for a government agent by a gang of spies. He gets involved in a series of misadventures and is pursued across the States by both the spies and the government whilst being helped by a beautiful blonde. 5. The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) - James Stewart, Doris Day, David Gelin, Christopher Olsen Dr. Ben McKenna (Stewart), his wife Jo (Day) and their son Hank (Olsen) are on a touring holiday of Africa when they meet the mysterious Louis Bernard (Gelin) on a bus. The next day Bernard is murdered in the local marketplace, but before he dies he manages to reveal details of an assassination about to take place in London. Fearing that their plot will be revealed, the assassins kidnap Hank in order to keep the McKenna's silent. Ben and Jo go to London and take matters into their own hands. Honourable Mentions Vertigo (1958) Rear Window (1954) The Trouble With Harry (1955) |

Yeah, it was a toss up for me between the two. The Man Who Knew Too Much just pipped Harry for me, only because Hitchcock was the Master of Suspense and probably should have dispensed with the comedy. |

Round 45: TOP 5 ALFRED HITCHCOCK MOVIES I am going to take my approach as well, courtesy me (and notes from college). Lifeboat (1944) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Written by Jo Swerling, Ben Hecht, Hume Cronyn, Story by John Steinbeck Director of Photography - Glen MacWilliams Starring Tallulah Bankhead, Hume Cronyn, Henry Hull, William Bendix, Mary Anderson, Heather Angel, Walter Slezak, John Hodiak, Canada Lee With cameos by William Yetter, Alfred Hitchcock One of Hitchcock's gimmick films. The entire film takes place on the boat. It also includes my favorite Hitchcock story. After a shot in which Tallulah Bankhead walks over the camera (placed on the floor of the boat and facing upward), DP Glen MacWilliams told Hitchcock that Bankhead was not wearing underwear. His response was, "I don't know if this is a matter for costume, makeup, or hairdressing." Rope (1948) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Written by Arthur Laurents, Hume Cronyn, Ben Hecht, from a play by Patrick Hamilton Director of Photography - William Skall, Joseph Velentine Starring James Stewart, Farley Granger, John Dall, Cedric Hardwicke With cameo by Alfred Hitchcock Based on the Leopold and Loeb murders, the film is supposed to be one long shot, but that was physically impossible. Pre-digital cameras simply could not hold 80 minutes of film and theater projectors could never play such an enormous reel anyway. A gimmick like this would never work with a mediocre director, but Hitchcock's number one rule was always that the story came first. He made sure that the story worked before he set about making it one shot or keeping the camera in the boat. More technically impressive than the single shot idea is how the 80 minute film seems to take place in about two hours. Although shot in real time, the time itself is sped up so that events (like the sunset) take less time than they actually would while the film seems longer than it actually is. The Lodger (1927) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Written by Eliot Stannard and Alfred Hitchcock, from novel and play by Marie Lowndes Director of Photography - Gaetano di Ventimiglia, Music by quite a few people over the years Starring Ivor Novello, Marie Ault, Malcolm Keen, "June", Arthur Chesney With cameos by Reginald Gardiner, Alfred Hitchcock This is the first film where Hitchcock shows his mastery of suspense and well choreographed blocking. It is basically the story of Walter Sickert (better known as Jack the Ripper). The Lady Vanishes (1938) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Written by Frank Launder, Sidney Gilliat, from a novel by Ethel White Director of Photography - Jack Cox Starring Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, May Whitty, Linden Travers, Paul Lukas, Cecil Parker, Basil Radford, Naunton Wayne With a cameo by Alfred Hitchcock We have all seen this story before. After someone disappears, people try to convince our hero that she never existed in the first place. But she knows the truth. Or does she? What saves this film is that it had not been done to death in 1938 and there is a complex mystery surrounding musical configurations. Plus it has model trains. What's not to like? Spellbound (1945) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Written by Ben Hecht, Angus MacPhail, from novel by Hilary Sanders and John Palmer Director of Photography - George Barnes, Music by Miklós Rózsa Dream sequence by Salvador Dalí, Production Designer - William Cameron Menzies Starring Ingrid Bergman, Gregory Peck, Rhonda Fleming, Norman Lloyd, Michael Checkhov, Leo Carroll, Bill Goodwin, Paul Harvey With cameos by Erskine Sanford, Alfred Hitchcock "Just another manhunt wrapped up in pseudo-psychoanalysis" according to Hitchcock. |
