Wow, it's been several movies since I've posted in this thread. I just finished up with Gangs of New York. Before that I watched Chicago. I think both films are excellent, but I definitely think the Oscar should have gone to GONY.
The other night (I believe it was Thursday) I stayed in and watched Turner Classic Movies all night. They showed the following four films I'd never seen before:
The Time Machine (1960) - It was pretty good. I liked it much better than the shitty 2002 remake.
Soylent Green - Despite the fact that I knew the ending I still enjoyed it. It was an interesting look at a futuristic dystopia.
Sleeper - I think this is the first Woody Allen film I've seen all the way through. It was pretty funny stuff. I'm going to have to try to watch some of his other stuff.
Metropolis - I didn't think I'd be able to get into a silent film, but I watched it anyway because I'd heard several good things about it. I was actually very entertained, and it had some pretty cool visual stuff going on. Especially considering it was made in 1927.
