I like all of his films.

PTA is one of my all-time favorite directors, so we will eventually get to ALL of his films.

I love NOAH but I think it may be too recent. The movie hasn't really settled into place yet. THE FOUNTAIN is a great choice.

That's probably a Christmas episode for us.

Pour yourself a stiff one and listen to Amy and Devin discuss Billy Wilder's THE LOST WEEKEND, an Oscar winner featuring Ray Milland as a drunk writer trying to sober up over one disastrous weekend. Should this film be in the Canon? Is the movie too overwrought? Or does it take a nuanced look at the problems of alcoholics? Vote and discuss here!

It's the classic of Indian cinema, and it's up for the Canon! Do you think the first entry in the Apu Trilogy belongs in the hall of eternity? And can you, unlike Amy and Devin, pronounce Satyajit Ray correctly? Also: was this your first time watching the movie? If so, what did you think of it? Talk about it with us here.

Just a heads up - Soundcloud is having problems, which means podcasts may not be playable through your normal players. They should work with the Howl app, though. We're as frustrated as you are, and we're hoping that Soundcloud will have this issue resolved very soon.

Richard Linklater's seminal Gen X movie is up for the Canon, rounding out the group of 'important' early 90s indie films. Does this unstructured, plotless film make the grade? It's up to you to decide! And check out the other thread for discussion of Linklater's newest film, EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!!.

Tally ho, good chaps! What will it be for Errol Flynn's swashbuckling adventure - say thee yay or nay?

Since this movie became such a heated topic in the SLACKER episode I figured we could have a thread where folks - if they've seen it - can weight in without creating too big a tangent in the main SLACKER thread. I loved it! I'll link my review in here as soon as it's live.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies.

I deleted the link to an illegal pirated copy of the movie. Please don't link to pirated films here. Support movies.

Yeah, it's an interesting discussion. The X-Men/Spider-Man era feels like the end of the 90s shitty comic book movie era - it's more a transitional period than its own thing. But maybe it does deserve recognition on its own terms.

I can tell you that I chose these two films not as a safety net but rather because I think their differing approaches make for an interesting discussion. I'm less concerned with what actually gets into the Canon and more concerned with what makes for a good discussion and sparks interesting debates in the forums.

Thanks for always doing this, Nick.

Hey guys, welcome to the new forums. Hopefully everybody is migrating over with minimal hassle. Let us know if you're having a problem. In the tradition of the homework threads we had on the old forum, here's one for this week: THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST vs THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST. PASSION is available on Netflix, as well as digital rental. LAST TEMPTATION Is available for digital rental. There's also a wonderful Criterion Collection edition of it.
