Tom McB Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) 1 Shawshank Redemption - Pure Capracorn! 2 It's a Wonderful Life - Pure Capracorn!! 3 Fight Club - Homoerotic movie for those frightened to admit these tendancies - I'm tough so I can't be gay! 4 The Matrix - Ever so bad plagiarism of William Gibson's Cyberpunk idiom. 5 Stand By Me - Pure Capracorn!!! *********************************************** PS - Anyone know the link between 1 & 5? Both short stories- and both by Stephen King who also wrote another novella which was an utterly keech fillum. The Running Man. Edit to include: Time to make a stand, I like Capra. All film should be seen in the context of its time. Capra's films were good cinema and with a very positive social message. It's easy to argue that "The grapes of Wrath" does that better, indeed it does. For me "Grapes" is a great film and "Mr Smith goes to Washington" is a good one.

bernard albrecht Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Both short stories- and both by a very rich yank who also wrote another novella which was an utterly keech fillum. Quite correct McB. For those who don't know they are in a book called Different Seasons by Stephen King. Apt Pupil being the other one.

Capra - Should've stuck to his original calling - Chemistry! Whit, Arsenic is Capra? Fine film. He's a Chemist? He de Man Seriously- he gave a piss for the wee man when a lot of Holywood did not. For that alone he deserves our plaudits. In a mellow mood. Got a region one DVD of Captains Courageous recently, now there's a fillum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Lees Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 The Da Vinci Code. Utter cobblers from start to finish. Redeemed only by a massively over-the-top, camp--as-christmas performance from Ian McKellen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
