Meet John Doe (Frank Capra)
Équipier, L' (2004)
Libeled Lady
Capote

My favorites were actually Meet John Doe and Libeled Lady. I watched Libeled Lady last night and was impressed at the comedy and caliber of the performances. Meet John Doe is a really underrated Frank Capra film. Because of the ending. It is not a flashy, happy ending, but on the flipside, I find it puzzling that it is not more highly regarded.

Another highlight was Place in the Sun... a film where things get out of control (in the plot! that's good), and it is well done.

I'm looking at the list and I have to say I don't really have a least favorite. They all were pretty good. There are certain things I liked about Sin City, but it was a little too much violence-wise and the way they portrayed women. However, I did like the Bruce Willis character and the "Nancy" character (when she was a little girl). I was a little disappointed by Blade Runner, I will admit. Even though Harrison Ford was kind of hot back then, and the beginning was strong, I kind of lost interest in the film.

There was also an embarrassing moment in The Two Mrs. Carrolls when Humphrey Bogart makes a play on a phrase that he used in Casablanca which was released just a handful of years before.

Other than that, great movies this month!


Added on 11/9/05: My list was incomplete and I forgot to add Capote. Well, I just did and Mr. Hoffman did a great job!

Re: September Films!
How was Audition?! I've been dying to see this film!

I disagree with Bladerunner though, but hey, we can't all agree on everything!! =P I thought that movie was excellent! I hope to own it someday =)

Also, I'd like to hear your thoughts on Nosferatu. Everyone says he was so terrifying for his time. Also, isn't there a movie about the making of Nosferatu? I forget what it's called though

Transporter 2?! =P What an interesting film to see among all these other films! lol

Re: September Films!
Audition was pretty good-a little slow in the beginning... it could be remade into a real blockbuster out here. However, I thought of a slightly different ending... it was good though. And grotesque.

Nosferatu-it was on imdb's 250 top list. I accidentally rented the werner herzog version, which was remarkable similar (but the end was very different). so i finally saw the right version, but was bored, because it was much the same. but the guy who played nosferatu was very scary and creepy! they did a good job with that, but I haven't had any nightmares (jaded person I am!)

-Transporter 2- i saw because I like car chases and Jason Statham!! HOT HOT! However, it was a little disappointing, because while it was mostly good, the plot was way more than cheesy.

Re: September Films!
Jason Statham is kinda cute, eh? hehe -- and yeah, I wouldn't have expected much from the plot either! =P Never would have guessed you to like car chases, however!

Cool, thanks for the review on Audition =) I'll check it out sometime!

Re: September Films!
French Connection, the original Transporter (that had a much better plot BTW!!), and Bourne Identity (not Supremacy!!) have really good chase scenes. i jus' wuv it!

Re: September Films!
You know, I had never heard of the original Transporter movie before this one, lol -- I like Matt Damon, and I like Europe, so more than likely, I will check out BOTH of the Bourne movies!! =P

Re: September Films!
the camera work in the second bourne supremacy made me naseous, otherwise it was not a bad film. but the camerawork detracted so much I'm sorry to say!! it was terrible. and my brother (smart guy (not)) notified me of The Transporter when it was in theaters the first time around and told me to see it because it had a better chase scene than the French Connection. Not so. But it was still phenomenal.
