[–] samoanjoes (57612) 5 years ago

What a story, Stratego.

Anyway, how's your sex life?

You're always playing psychologist.

I love The Shop Around the Corner but that would fit under my favourite Christmas movie for me.

reply

[–] Stratego (30779) 5 years ago

That one doesn't get enough love. I like it MUCH better than It's a Wonderful Life.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (57612) 5 years ago

Me too. I watch it every other Christmas. I don't even like It's a Wonderful Life that much.

reply

[–] Stratego (30779) 5 years ago

I actually don't like it at all. I know, it's heresy!😱

reply

[–] kuku (3510) 5 years ago

I like both of them, but as you, I like TSaC far more than IaWL.

reply

[–] zephyr_cape (2979) 5 years ago

Same! Totally averse to its lies.

However, “It’s a WonderfuLL Life” 🥀

reply

[–] kuku (3510) 5 years ago

Well, it's comedy, an a xmas movie, and a romance, all the genres perfectly balanced.

reply

[–] Zilkin (407) 5 years ago

The seven movies I would choose are Conan barbarian, Batman returns, Die Hard, The good the bad and the ugly, Dazed and confused, Pulp fiction, Notti di Cabria. But it is silly to have only 7 movies to watch.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (57612) 5 years ago

7 movies only from those genres.

[–] kuku (3510) 5 years ago

It would have been quicker just answering 'movies from 1982' :P

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21579) 5 years ago

Lol I noticed that also. I almost went to my list of favorites and only picked those from 1982 to fit them all.

-Shadows in Paradise
-Sult
-La Terrazza
-The Sign of the Leo
-Series Noire
-The Swimmer
-Ana-ta-han

reply

[–] samoanjoes (57612) 5 years ago

I don't know any of these.

reply

[–] BillHicksFan (10651) 5 years ago

Well, you should get to know them. You are missing out!

I do like "Magnolia" from your list. I'm surprised you don't know a single one, but then again, I watch movies from all over the world, every decade.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (57612) 5 years ago

Series Noire seems pretty decent and I like French cinema.
