I had a film teacher at my local college make us watch Magnolia. On the last day of class, he made an announcement, "Political correctness is going to ruin this country. For anyone interested, I have one more movie to watch, followed by a talk. This will be off campus, so let me know if you would like to hear more. " That was the last thing he said to the class, and this was back in 2007 in CA. I wish I had taken up his offer.

Glad a few of my favourites were in AA's list :- The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover - Greenaway's finest work(and I am quite a fan of his). Beautiful and grotesque at the same time. I think it's an attack on Thatcherism. Superb performances from Michael Gambon(he is really nasty in this), Helen Mirren(probably her best film performance) and Alan Howard. The use of the tracking shots, the costume changes between rooms, the glorious art direction, costume design, cinematography and Michael Nyman's glorious score make this film a true cinematic treat. It was quite the arthouse hit in its day(Barry Norman made it his top film of 1989 and also put it on his Top 10 of the 1980s), it was very popular on the video rental market. Also quite controversial in Britain, not least because of his violent content - but it's political message. I think it's been adapted on to stage twice : once for a university and once in the USA. I think there's even a pop song from the 1990s which references it(if anyone knows what the name of that is - and who sung it, can you post it in comments?). It was even the last film to be made at the old Elstree Studios(Stage 6) - so to please the Star Wars' fans there, just after Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, before that establishment got halved and one of part of it is now a Tesco. Taxi Driver - it's Scorsese's best film in my opinion. Everything about it is on another level : great cast(De Niro, Foster, Shepherd, Keitel and even Scorsese in his cameo), the imagery(the searing heat of those steam stacks in New York with the bright yellow of the taxi driving by, and the finale with its intense use of red), the great soundtrack from Bernard Hermann(sadly - his last), the great use of voiceover from De Niro, great editing(Marcia Lucas was a supervising editor), it really shows you what a terrible place New York was back in the 1970s. I think one of the most powerful scenes is actually Travis Bickle trying to apologise to Betsy on the telephone. I suppose what I really like about it is although it's a very dark, violent and disturbing film - it also manages to mesh that with the beautiful imagery(much like Greenaway's "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover did). I suppose it even has a happy ending(sort of). Kind Hearts and Coronets - it's probably the best of the Ealing comedies. A black comedy about the British class system. Good performances from Dennis Price, Valerie Hobson, Joan Greenwood and Alec Guinness. A lot is made of the multiple roles that Guinness plays - but it's really Dennis Price's film. Has quite a dark tone for an Ealing comedy. Very British in character.

I think the R scene is ambiguous but the woman clearly teased the eventual perpetrators by walking around half clothed when they fix the roof (or whatever their job was). (My interpretation is that she got a bit more than she had asked for...)

It was the CG that ruined them.
