Answers to last week:

Screen 01 - Safe Men

Screen 02 - Saving Silverman

Connection - Steve Zahn

Awesome job by MAYDRICK who comes in 1st with 18 points.

[He runs a quiz of his own--that's why he's really good at this.

He wins the honor of being the champion and putting all others to shame

without a DVD/bluray prize since he doesn't live in the US.]

There is a three-way tie--

Adam Kuhn,

worm@work, and

Dan Heaton--

for 2nd place with 10 points.

3rd place goes to cinema-fanatic with 7 points.

I'm Glad This Movie Exists #4

2011-09-12T01:55:00.005-04:00

My Apologies to The Rules of the Game (Jean Renoir, 1939). I almost forgot to include it in my Top 100*...even though its always included in My Top 20 Movies That Should Be In My Top 10.

When asked what his top three films were on Late Night with Johnny Carson (?), Orson Welles said: "Rules of the Game! Rules of the Game! And Rules of the Game!" Here's Orson Welles on Jean Renoir (following the passing of the French director). Find the (modern) trailer and Mr. Renoir's introduction to the film's re-release after the jump...

Here are its Criterion Collection and Roger Ebert's The Great Movies pages.

*With its inclusion at #12, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (#98) is the odd film out.

I realized that Michel Gondry had gotten into my mind to erase my love for Jean Renoir.

Links to the trailer and the intro in case you're on a device that can't play the embedded videos above.

The Great Happiness Space (2006)

Tale of an Osaka Love Thief

Directed by Jake Clennell

This is the movie on love and capitalism that Godard wishes he could make, a documentary on people who work at host clubs in Japan and their clients. It questions the price of happiness and the cost of dreams of love. The hyperreal can be seen everyday at Rakkyo Café.

It can be seen on Netflix streaming here. Review from Jamie S. Rich at DVD Talk and Amoeblog.

Thanks for playing along.

Genova (2008)

2011-08-25T05:03:00.002-04:00

Directed by Michael Winterbottom

US title: A Summer in Genoa

I was sad to learn that this beautiful film never opened in American theaters.* After losing his wife, Firth moves his family to Italy—together: they cope with their loss; individually: the younger daughter is haunted by the car accident, the older sister faces adolescence, and the father starts fresh.

*but was released on DVD following Colin Firth’s Oscar win in April 2011.

Additional Observations (cheating): Marcel Zyskind’s images are nothing short of amazing. Thematically and visually, I was reminded of Keislowski’s Blue and Guadagnino’s I Am Love—the scenes at the beach are like the ones in Eric Rohmer’s films (even Keener looks like Marie Rivière).

The trailer can be seen here and the whole film can be seen on Netflix streaming.

Top 5 Movies I Want to See But Are Not Easily Available (DVD or Bluray)

2011-08-23T02:25:00.001-04:00

specifically in the United States

Voyage to Italy (Rossellini, 1954)
A Brighter Summer Day (Yang, 1991)
Love Exposure (Sono, 2008)
Two Weeks in Another Town (Minnelli, 1962) – Warner Archive collection*
Arizona Dream (Kusturica, 1993) – Warner Archive collection*

Honorable Mention: Norwegian Wood (Hung, 2010) – available in the UK

*made to order dvds from Warner (but the quality is questionable)

I am excited for the Citizen Kane bluray Amazon Exclusive with The Magnificent Ambersons DVD (which is ludicrous that Ambersons is not on bluray, but at least it will be on DVD for the first time).

I will have to revise my Top Ten Movies That Need a Bluray Release since Kane is on the honorable mentions and The Three Colors Trilogy will be out on Criterion bluray in November.

Swingers and NHL 93 (Jeremy Roenick)

2011-08-17T19:39:00.003-04:00

Oh, Swingers (1996)...how do I love thee?

Let me count the ways...

(Sadly, you were cut from my Top 100)

But if I were still in high school, you would make it to the Top 25 with ease.

The video up top (Fox Sports promo?) is an awesome homage to Swingers, directed by Doug Liman and written by Jon Favreau. I just looked up the bluray release--and it's next week. Recommendation: Must Buy!

In case you can't view the embedded videos: the homage and the original.

[after the jump: Wikipedia entry of how they were playing NHL 93 but talking about NHL 94]

From Wikipedia:

The removal of fights in "NHL Hockey 94" was addressed in the 1996 movie Swingers [...]

However, this is not completely accurate, as bleeding players were also removed. They also were playing "NHLPA Hockey '93", which had blood and fighting; but the fighting was strategic and players like Gretzky would rarely, if at all, have fought. This was due to his low fighter and aggressiveness ratings; while higher profile enforcers such as Tie Domi, Bob Probert, Basil McRae and Tony Twist had very high ratings of each, making each more likely to be called for penalties including fighting, others such as Gretzky had low ratings of both, making the latter not only less likely to fight, but also less likely to take any penalties at all. However, in the original "NHL Hockey", Gretzky was able to fight more often.

Tokyo Story (1953)

2011-08-16T22:01:00.003-04:00

Directed by Yasujiro Ozu

Before I learned to use the phrase “It’s like an Ozu film,” I had to string together words like simple, classic, beautiful, and grace; mention themes of life/change and tradition/modernity; and improperly use nouns such as humanity, everyday, and harmony as adjectives. As I struggled to find a response to a fellow film geek’s review of Tokyo Story, I started watching the film without subtitles—initially on accident—and I realized just how much visual depth and textures (without the distraction of subtitles) were captured by Ozu’s camera. His films are obvious, told simply and clearly—their methods of storytelling don't obscure its themes so that the audience feels smart for figuring out its meaning (through gimmicks that feign complexity).

Tokyo Story is art at its most humane. It explores the generational gap between parents and their grown-up children. Now adults, the children find themselves too busy with their own lives to properly mind their parents who have come a long way to visit them. Ozu’s films are timeless, not because their stories feel like they could happen today (although, that is also true) but rather they are timeless because it makes the viewer feel as one of their time.

A 200-word review/rebuttal of James Blake Ewing's Tokyo Story review at Cinema Sights.

from American Directors*

Manhattan (Woody Allen, 1979)
The Long Goodbye (Robert Altman, 1973)
North by Northwest (Alfred Hitchcock, 1959)**
The Thin Red Line (Terrence Malick, 1998)***
His Girl Friday (Howard Hawks, 1940)
Sabrina (Billy Wilder, 1954)****
Hard Eight (Paul Thomas Anderson, 1996)
The Royal Tenenbaums (Wes Anderson, 2001)
Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese, 1976)
Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979)

Honorable Mentions

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Coen), Memento (Nolan), Dazed and Confused (Linklater)

* I'm mostly sure this is according to how much I like the director, not by movie. To qualify for this list, I needed to have seen at least half of the director's body of work. Orson Welles should be on this list, but I need to see/rewatch more of his films past The Magnificent Ambersons. Sadly, I didn't consider Nicholas Ray, John Ford, and John Cassavetes for similar reasons.

** I am claiming Hitchcock for the US.

*** I have not seen his latest, The Tree of Life.

**** Yes, I snubbed Sunset Boulevard and Some Like It Hot for this.

Janet Maslin's review, Again, the awesome trailer in case your browser can't view the embedded version.
It should be added to my list of Films That Need a Bluray Release since it isn't even on DVD (US).

Also see Klapisch's Un Air de Famille (1996), written by Agnès Jaoui and Jean-Pierre Bacri.

RULES

Three screen captures categorized into easy (mainstream), medium (classic), and hard (obscure) and each will be worth 1, 2, and 3 points.
This is by the honor system; no Internet searches or research please, but you can use the person directly to your left for help (only one person, but no one in the other directions).
Keep track of your scores; there will be point ranges (at the end) that rank your film geekness. The answers will be placed in the comment box of each subsequent post.
