Had thoughts of renting The Legion through my TV's On Demand service - about the only way to watch a current movie now. It's about a Roman legion that's in trouble in what's now Armenia during Nero's reign. But when I saw that Mickey Rourke was in it, I figured that it MUST suck. Now that I look at the reviews, sure enough, it appears that it does suck. Guess I'll pass.
The last good Roman movie I saw was The Eagle, with Channing Tatum. The last great one was Risen - that one was amazing.
Oh I want to share my favorite snack that I love eating during the film. I make it with my best microwave oven on mykitchenadvisor.com. I make popcorn in it and then melt the cheese on it. It turns out simply divine.
For movie lovers, those who needn't snacks and popcorn to enjoy a good movie, I recommend Viridiana by Luis Bunuel. Palme d'or 1961, it was forbidden in Spain until 1977.

A classic.
What a young Paco Rabal... have you also seen the Santos Inocentes ?
No. I heared about the good old spanish movies but I had the chance to watch but a few.
Unfortunately, as a kid my mom and aunt used to take me only to movies featuring Sarita snd Raphael. :laugh:
But I see that this Cervantes Institute in Bucharest organized this programme " Clasicos contigo" and I'd like to follow it. I simply love old movies.
Cool! A boy meets a girl in a club and does anything to seduce her because she's reticent. After he did it, things change radically.
I watched it this morning. Great movie but painful to watch.Quote:

Another weekend, another great old Spanish movie: El Sur ( The South ) by Victor Erice.
And another movie I can relate emotionally to. Extremely beautiful but heartbreakingly to watch.
Because I have my own `South`, a place I dream of but that I can`t visit.
And I also can relate to the father's tragedy, namely living a private life of impossible dreams and hiding a deep unhappiness.
Although I know that almost nobody reads this thread or is interested in such type of cinema I still post the link to this movie: https://ccesv.org/evento/clasicos-contigo-el-sur/

Thanks gadji, again :cool:
La vaquilla ( the Heifer ) by Luis García Berlanga. A spanish comedy with the action placed during the Spanish Civil War
A film that is perfect for Donks. One of the characters even has his name. :p

Thanks gadjilupe :kiss: :bandit:
my missus was pissing herself a moment ago... she didn’t know what I was watching and kept hearing my name being called :D
another Spanish classic from 1985, not to be confused with “yo, el vaquilla” btw. :p
I was still in Madrid back then, an amazing place in the 80’s, when I was young and before the clan of the marquesa took over. Quite a few of the images in the film remind me in part of the esperpento you can still see today...
:D :D :DQuote:

Anyway I'm happy that I could watch so many classics.
Based on what I saw in these movies ( and not only in these classics) I must confess that I'm amazed ( in a positive way ) by the Spanish family relationships. Such things could never happen in absurdistani society.
Someone suggested that I go see Tenet. Has anyone here seen it? Is it worth the time and ticket?
Tonight I watched a wonderful movie from 1998: The Legend of 1900 ( La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano ) by Giuseppe Tornatore. As wonderful as his previous movie, Cinema Paradiso. I'm afraid that words can't express the emotion I felt watching it. And Tim Roth is perfect playing a fantastic pianist on the board of a boat where he was abandoned as a newborn baby and who never in his life set foot on land.
And now from Clasicos contigo to a new cycle of Spanish movies: Nuevas cinefilias.
This weekend's offer is Ver a una mujer ( To see a woman ) by Monica Rovira.
After a long pause I finally went out to see a movie. Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn is a Romanian movie directed by Radu Jude and is this year's winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.( A few years ago I presented on this thread another Radu Jude's movie ( Aferim!), also a winner of the Silver Bear at the same festival).
The film is very provocative and not because of its more than explicit sex scenes ( hey! do you remember when a certain forum member said that my fav movie genre is soft porn? :laugh: well, this is more than soft ) or its obscene language. The real shock comes from the image of today's Romania. Because at the end of the day this movie is a social satire.

El extraño viaje" (1964), by Fernando Fernán-Gómez
These old spanish movies continue to amaze me.
Or maybe it is because I'm but an old fart....
