An unoriginal copycat thread to the "What books" thread, but one that should prove just as interesting I think.

Many on my list include the fave films of our kids we've seen over and over:

Princess Bride
Willow
Secret of NIMH
Tim Burton's films
and lots more too numerous...

But as far as the films I have rewatched over the years, just for myself:

Cheesy films:

Out of Africa
Dances With Wolves
Fried Green Tomatoes
Chocolat

Foreign (to the US) films:

Blue
Hedd Wyn
Eat, Drink, Man, Woman
El Norte

Documentary films (American):

Roger and Me
American Dreams
Harlan County
Strong in the Broken Places

I could go on and on. I rarely reread books. I don't regularly rewatch films, but do enjoy it every few months or so. How often do others rewatch films?

Well - I've taped a few over the years.

The Original "Italian Job"

The sound version of "All quiet on the Western Front"

"Zulu" - Ifor Emanuels singing can not be beat.

"The Cruel Sea"

"High Noon"

"Blazing Saddles"

In view of it's anti-intellectual content "Educating Rita"

"Memphis Bell" - a weepy for my mother, who was a land girl in East Anglia in 1943/4. No, I don't ask her why, but she confims that she dated the odd member of the 8th USAAF. And was told, occasionally, that he would not be back.

and given my sense of humour many a "Carry on ..." Film.

I am at a point in my life when I need the manipulative euphoria of a romantic comedy. Movies like "The American President", "Jerry Maguire"
"Moonstruck" now serve a thirst that once craved Bergman and Malle.
Me and my VCR curl up together for frequent sentiment and tearful, happy endings. I confess that, with some of my favorites, I fast forward to the really sappy parts like that line in "Jerry Maguire" when she says, "You had me at 'Hello'". I also watch old Roy Rogers movies over and over. They weren't westerns as much as they were musicals. I do so love Western Swing.

I broke down yesterday and bought a DVD player, and a new Teevee with the necessary input jacks, and the flat screen.

I bought two DVDs to use to check it out: The Two Towers, which I'd seen once in the theatre, and National Lampoon's Animal House, which I'd seen as often as I could manage, over the years.

The Ring movies astonish me, because they are worthy of the books, and that hardly ever happens. Animal House is a favorite because I lived it (I was the guy that Belushi takes the guitar away from and smashes it).

I love some of the old mysteries, both early and later Hitchcock. And early Katherine Hepburn and Bette Davis flicks. Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, and many old dance musicals (Eleanor Powell, Astaire, Kelly). I like some of the more recent dance musicals, though I must say that I tend to hold my nose when I watch Flashdance, the plot is just too too silly, but I like the dancing. Dirty Dancing is slightly more believable, and has great dancing.

I'm always puzzled that Independence Day makes it onto lists like this one. I consider it one of the absolute worst movies I've ever seen in my whole life! I could say something similar about Armageddon. On the other hand, I really liked "Deep Impact".

There is an important thematic difference between the last film and the previous two, I think. (I despise American flag-wavers and I like films about international cooperation on an equal basis...so there you go. I've never been taken with the notion of American good-ol'-boy-football-gridiron-culture saving the world...when in fact it is set on buying it out and conquering it.)

Stilly - Yeah, well, I'm crazy about Indians and that movie has more Indian stuff in it than most... :-) Some people seem to hate everything Kevin Costner is in, but I like some of his movies a lot. Ones I didn't like were "Bodyguard" and "The Postman". "Robin Hood" was so-so.

What really annoyed me to the max in Independence Day was that idiot fighter pilot (obnoxious black actor whose name I have forgotten at the moment) and the nonsense about the guy flying his cropduster into the alien ship's portal and the other nonsense with the guys smoking cigars whilst cunningly defeating the alien technology, and...Oh, god...where do I stop? Besides, I like space aliens. I automatically take offense at pretty well any movie that casts them as vicious, ugly, destroying monsters bent on conquering the Earth. If they wanted to conquer this little planet they could've done it a long time ago, in my opinion, and not even worked up a sweat. Just because people are treacherous and dangerous doesn't mean that everyone else is too.

But you're right...it's a matter of taste, that's all.

Little Hawk, that movie had a great cast, but blew it by engaging in the usual colonial discourse. A lot of Indians felt betrayed by it. Are you familiar with the story of Cynthia Ann Parker, mother of Quanah Parker? The whites who "rescued" her from the Commanche she had lived with for years refused to understand that she was truly happier with that life. Her life in the white community, which refused her pleas to let her return to her people, sounds utterly miserable. Costner just didn't get it.

I have heard good things about this latest Costner western, though true to form, I haven't been to a movie in ages so haven't seen it. I tend to wait till they come to my local library on video or DVD.

The send up in Independence Day of all the cliches from previous sci-fi movies is what makes it so good. 'Now that's what I call a close encounter' always makes me laugh. The whole thing is a comedy with some fairly good special effects. And it doesn't scream out 'parody' like Mars Attacks. If I had to choose a favourite of the three films you mentioned it would have to be Deep Impact which looks at the psychological and, to a degree, philosophical effect of a major disaster on people. I enjoy the action movies but love the ones that look at how people tick and that one did it for me.

"Independence Day" is such a piece of American crap. I especially don't like the idea that all the other nations of the world will somehow celebrate American Independence Day as their own liberation.

Ah, Peter, you are a kindred soul on the "Independence Day" thing. It may be a movie that only Americans can love (some of them, I mean...). I can buy the notion that it's partially a send-up, but it's still obnoxious. I've seldom been so angry at having spent $10 on a movie as I was with that one.

jacqui - You're right that the "close encounter" line is pretty darned funny, and I agree that "Deep Impact" is by far the best of the disaster movies, because it makes a sincere effort to look into the human side of the situation, rather than just burying the viewer under a barrage of special effects and patriotic bombast. Also, Morgan Freeman plays the president with his usual dignity and presence, which are considerable.

One other movie I hated as much as Independence Day...well, even more...was Pretty Woman (and I usually like movies with Richard Gere). The message that one delivered was as totally sick as anything I think I've ever seen onscreen.

The Dances With Wolves thing, Stilly? You say that "A lot of Indians felt betrayed by it." Well, yeah, I guess...no surprise to me there. Why do I say that? I've been hanging around traditionals since the late 70's, and I've never seen anything artistic done yet concerning Indians (whether done by Indians or not) that didn't cause a lot of Indians to feel betrayed.

I'm frankly getting a bit cynical about it. There are a lot of shoulders out there with big chips on them in medicine land, and it has proven utterly impossible to please them...again and again.

Believe me, you can love all that is Native American with your whole heart and soul, and tear your guts out trying to honor it in the best way you can possibly imagine...and still get pilloried for it by various people who are self-appointed super-Indians and are just so absolutely perfect and superior, that by golly, they are disgusted at how you have betrayed the purity of...blah, blah, blah...yadda, yadda. They even do it regularly to each other in the Medicine Lodge. I've seen it. The competition for legitimacy and acceptance on the Good Red Road can be fierce out there, and it carries its own share of hypocrisy and pretentiousness.

Now what did Kevin Costner do? He portrayed an Indian society in a profoundly sympathetic manner, and portrayed white society as ignorant, expansionist, corrupt, dirty and senselessly violent. He showed the gradual transformation of an ordinary white soldier into a man who felt that he truly was Indian to the very heart. He was humbled by the Indians. He admired them tremendously. They helped him, and when the opportunity arose, he helped them. That's brotherhood. It just naturally figures that they both had gifts to offer one another.

Beats me how it's a betrayal of Indians, but I'm not a bit surprised that some say so. Like I say, I've seen it happen before...every time anyone dares to touch the subject in a serious way. "Seven Arrows" is an extraordinary book, written by an Indian about Indians, and some of them think it's a betrayal too.

Well, you jut can't please everyone. And you know, opinions are often formed in people by the very first person they talk to about something, and it goes from there, reinforcing the first impression. All I know is I saw the movie, I'm a patriot to the Medicine Way, and I loved it. I did not feel betrayed. It wasn't perfect, but it was very good.

This is all just opinion, of course.

Windwalker was a neat little movie about Indians, and it didn't feature one single white character in the whole story, and it had one white actor, playing an old man, and about 8 or 10 Indians playing all the other parts, and most of the dialogue was in the Cheyenne language with subtitles, but some Indians still felt "betrayed" by that too. Yeah, I heard them yakking about it pretentiously at Rolling Thunder's camp after the show...I talked to him about it and he said they were just trying to make a big thing out of themselves, and it was a pretty darned good movie, which was what I thought. These people make me tired. Where do they get the time to be so perfect? If they even did a movie themselves about Indians, with total artistic control, half of them would complain afterward about how the other half screwed it up, I figure.

Not what I call "good medicine".

Little Hawk, you're correct. Indians are a very touchy crowd in many contexts, and are depending on the reason, more or less entitled to be so. I'm not going to pick up this discussion beyond this point because enough has been said. And if you read the Cynthia Ann Parker history you'll see in a nutshell what the major complaint is about Dances With Wolves--it goes through all of the sympathetic stuff but still has a very traditionally white ending. Indian people had a lot to say about the "feel good" quality of it film, that made only colonizers feel better.

I agree entirely about the remark that you can't ever make everyone happy in Indian Country--there is so much infighting that it gets pretty damned depressing if you consider yourself a scholar in that field. I regularly see people ganged up on for some discussion list remark or published essay or other on the scholarly lists--there are some who follow the teachings of this native leader, others who follow that native scholar--and heaven help the mixedblood scholar who chooses to favor their Indian upbringing or try to bring in at least dual perspectives. With mixedblood kids myself, the best thing I can do for them is try to offer some perspective and tell them it's okay to say "screw it all" if the fighting gets to be too bad to take the pleasure out of life. More than one scholar has sadly set aside a lifetime of work and gone on to study other things because the contentious nature of the field got to be more than they could tolerate.

A film that will definitely make you squirm on the subject is Black Robe. And Sherman Alexie has been making films that bring humor but also an Indian perspective to things. Smoke Signals has been around for a while now.
