all great ones! you should give "Frau im Mond" (Woman on the Moon) by Lang a try. One of my favs when it comes to silent movies. Mabuse is great too, both parts. Since you liked Caligari (20s) as well I suggest Vampyr by Carl Dreyer. one of the very early non-silent movies so you can barely understand what is said
amazing atmosphere and cinematography imo.

will do! Mabuse i am somewhat familiar with... cheers!
i left off M ... Peter Lorre is the best!
Caught this today. Enjoyable, but I still don't like the changes in perspective from the first person narrative in the book. Feels like they could have made a single movie out of it.
B
Dr. Mabuse, the criminal mastermind
I've seen the first two Mabuses: Dr. Mabuse - The Gambler [1922], and The Testament of Dr. Mabuse [1932]. They're both excellent and the actor of Mabuse, Rudolf Klein-Rogge, is totally awesome! There are many more, and at least on - 1000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse - was directed by Lang as well. think it was during the 60s.
As is Peter Lorre...
...anyone seen his Mr.Moto movies? Always curious about them.
I was so dissapointed when I first saw this movie... but I matured and saw the error of my ways.

Haha. "Open the pod bay doors." "I'm afraid I can't do that Dave." That scene just played a couple of minutes ago.
The weak point of that movie, seems to be when Dave blasts himself into the hatch without a helmit, exposing himself to a vacuum, even momentarily. I can overlook, but have always questioned it.
Apparently you can survive something like that for a few seconds. Not sure how long and I'm sure it would hurt like hell but it's supposedly possible.
I seem to remember things like your blood boiling and eyes popping, basically a debilitating, then lethal state. I go with SOD.

While I wasn't a fan of the first sin city, I saw its niche appeal. The second movie is garbage though.
I just finished watching Saving Private Ryan, and it was great! I also watched Shooter (2007) a few days ago, also a great movie!
Both excellent. For the latter payback is a bitch!
The premise is intriquing. The execution might have been better.
Death Race (2008)- Jason Stratham: STUPID.
Battleship (2012)- Absolutely Fun escapism, USNavy against the aliens with the help of the Japanese. Pleasing visuals. Highly upgraded version of The Last Ship. My only issue with this movie, would be an advanced alien civilization using ballistic weapons, although I can't say it's absolutey impossible!
Taylor Kitsch is good. My favorite role of his was Gambit, in X-Men Origin: Wolverine. He really had a prescence in that film.

just watched Network again for the second time ever. What a great, whacked movie which feels even more timely now than it did when it was released.
