Re: Criterion Challenge List Thread - September 2009
Just a reminder that everyone is encouraged to join DVDTalk's Criterion Film Club, which has a weekly movie for in-depth discussion.
This week's film is F for Fake, thread here.
And it's never too late to discuss the week two film, George Washington, here, or the week one film, Empire of Passion, here.
Also, many people put their checklists in spoiler tags, to allow easier browsing of the list thread by others.
Also, if you are planning to reveal key plots points/endings in your mini reviews, you should put them in spoiler tags. Spoiler tags work like this:
[ spoiler] Remove the spaces to really hide something, like this

Touchez Pas au Grisbi (1954) Good film that I will go into some detail in the discussion thread.
9/4/2009
The Last Days of Disco (1998) I liked this one better than Barcelona. I'm not sure if it is better than Metropolitan
9/11/2009
Bande a Part (Band of Outsiders) (1964) Great film. I loved Anna Karina's performance in this one.
9/17/2009
Ai no corrida (In the Realm of Senses) (1976) Um not sure how to describe this one. I found the last 15 minutes disturbing
9/26/2009
The Ruling Class (1969) Interesting film. I can't accuse the film of being boring. I liked the musical numbers. I can see how people would have some issues with this film though. Very good performance by Peter O' Toole.
