So guys,
I'm being locked now almost 20 days - working from home and going outside only to get food and water and dispose of the garbage. I know we, in Bulgaria generally don't have so many proven cases (little bit over 300 as of yesterday), but I'm thinking that this is just the people who are tested, there are actually many more people who are infected and spread the virus without even knowing. Anyway, I try to keep my self busy with my hobbies - one of which is watching old movies - we are talking stuff from 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. Here is a selection made form me for you of 5 titles that stand the test of time and everybody should be checking them.
I am far from thinking that Quentin Tarantino's true fans have not watched this movie many times (though it will rejoice you once again). No way, he's a true cult. I pass on "leaving it" in this text for those who have once rated it as very strong, but it has remained somewhere back in time. Unless we are of a terribly different breed, rest assured that even now one of the most remarkable gangster stories, brilliantly told in the typical brutal style of the bad boy Tarantino, brought together the wonderful company of Samuel Jackson, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Harvey Kitel and the great Uma Thurman will set you up for the day, more. The insane dialogues, the unique grotesque scenes of murder and cruelty, and the black humor of the American filmmaker right in this strip seem to be unmatched by his other.
This movie is a favorite of true eccentric brothers Eaton and Joel Cohen. Fargo is a crime-black comedy that has remained a classic since its inception in 1996. Stopped financially, unsuccessful car dealer Jerry Lundegard (William Macy) urgently needs a lot of money and plans to hire someone to kidnap his wife and have her rich father pay the ransom. The deal is for $ 1 million, of which he will receive $ 60,000 and the rest to take the mercenaries (Steve Bushemi and Peter Stormer). I stop there, obviously everything goes wrong and sinks in blood. However, after three murders, the killers clash with the local sheriff ... pregnant Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand), who stops short of nothing. This is certainly one of the best roles of the actress, married to Joel Cohen, for which she won an Oscar (the second received for "Three Billboards Out of Town").
This classic is often regarded as the greatest movie ever made. The story of the banker who goes to prison, unjustly convicted of the murder of his wife and her lover - brilliantly played by Tim Robins and his friend behind bars (the great Morgan Freeman), is truly perfectly told by screenwriter and director Frank Darabont remember who he is, he made two more Stephen King films (The Green Mile and The Mist). And yet, he was not rewarded as well. Even a few years ago, in a poll in Britain's Independent newspaper, Shawshank's Redemption was named the best Oscar-winning movie. It's just a bad luck for the film to be able to face the final straight with another remarkable film, Forest Gump (by the way, it must be watched again!).
"Once Upon a Time in the West" is certainly one of the best westerns of all time. The 1968 film (Best Production of the 1969 Donatello Awards), co-written with Bernard Bertolucci and starring Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale, is different from its genres I realized. Not so dynamic, but rather contemplative and very beautifully shot, with an emphasis on the psychological moments before the shootings and with very good dialogue. Sworn fans can quote you phrases like "Trust you ?! How can I trust a person who wears both a belt and tyrants ?! You don't have faith in your own pants!" and "Well, ma'am, when you killed four, it's easy to make five." Allow the Wild West to take you to a psychopathic murderer who killed an entire family, wrongfully accused of the horrific massacre of Metis and a harmonica man who remembers his brother being ruthlessly tortured ...
Sergio Leone's incredible story of New York gangsters from the beginning of the last century. And those who love the great Robert De Niro should never fail to see what he can do again, with the company of James Woods and little Jennifer Connolly, who remains one of the most beautiful and gentle girls in cinema. The movie is originally 4 hours long. The real delight in this movie is that the music is no less good. In all his work, Leone partnered with the exceptional Italian composer Enio Morricone, who seems to be surpassing himself here too:
The movie of the director Terry Gilliam inspired by George Orwell's 1984 novel, is iconic. If you watched it in your college years and didn't repeat it, maybe this is the moment. In fact, the same applies if you never have. The 1985 tape, featuring the great partnership of Jonathan Price, Robert De Niro and Bob Hoskins, is not exactly fun to fill in with boredom, but is proving to be very relevant in the world of Big Brother. The surrealistic narrative of the great eccentric Gilliam describes a nightmarish version of a supposedly perfect future in which technology largely determines how people live. As far as life is concerned, everyone is followed by a secret government agency that does not allow love to interfere with work and production efficiency. The protagonist is a bureaucrat who falls into the company of an illegal hero and a mysterious beauty and falls victim to his own romantic illusions ...
On a hot Brooklyn afternoon, two unknown optimists are preparing to rob a bank. Sonny is the brain of surgery, Sal is his accomplice, and the result is a complete disaster. Because the police, the television, a whole crowd of peepers and even a pizza vendor arrive. The film is based on real-life events that happened in Brooklyn on a hot day on August 22, 1972. Writer Frank Pearson (who received an Oscar for his work) and director Sidney Lumet do not usually offer a reconstruction of the story. Their story is filled with precise psychological nuances and details, driven by the desire to reveal the motives of their characters. Lumet with documentary accuracy paints a panorama of images and events involved in the main character's drama. Undoubtedly, Al Pacino's great contribution to the film's success is its virtuoso performance. The outsider's role contrasts sharply with what he did earlier in The Godfather.
I chose to include productions created in 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. If you guys like there is more amazing movies I can recommend.
Please guys, be responsible, stay at home and be safe.
Hope you like it.
