This is one of my all-time favorite movies and I watch it every 10 years or so. I would love to own the Criterion Collection edition (http://www.criterion.com/films/27899-on-the-waterfront). Brando, Steiger, Malden and Lee J. Cobb were just outstanding. Brando put in some superb performances when it came to conveying the struggles of the working man and I think this was his best one in this genre, even better than his role of Stanley Kowalski.

I hate sappy hollywood endings, but it's impossible not to cheer for Terry Malloy when he struggles to his feet and enters the docks, followed by the workers.

:happyjump:

It's excellent in every regard.

Losing Chase 1996 Helen Miren Beau Bridges Kyra Sedgwick

Chase (Mirren), a lifetime resident of Martha's Vineyard, married Richard (Bridges), and like the area, grew into the Upper-Middle-Class. Her distaste for artificiality leads her to a wild breakdown, and Richard dutifully tries to restore their family unit as best he knows how by hiring a 'Mother's Helper', Elizabeth (Sedgwick). Chase is broken, and wickedly caustic towards Elizabeth, until they discover each other's similarities. A strong relationship develops, affecting their personal and familial salvation, and destruction.

[Sparkle]

The Magdalene Sister, 2003

"Set in Ireland, beginning in 1964, so-called 'fallen' women were considered sinners who needed to be redeemed. The film follows the stories of four young women who are all forced by their families or caretakers into the Magdalene Asylum. The film details the disastrous lives of the four girls whilst they are inmates of the laundries, portraying their harsh daily regimen, their squalid living conditions and the oppressive nature of the Catholic faith at the time."

My note: This is one of those movies you'll probably only ever watch once, but you absolutely should watch it once, especially now when American politicians are rolling back reproductive rights for women all over the country.

I honestly can't imagine having the courage the Zulu warriors had, or the British soldiers. I am pretty sure I would have run away.

Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant Director Fassbinder

Petra von Kant is a successful fashion designer -- arrogant, caustic, and self-satisfied. She mistreats Marlene (her secretary, maid, and co-designer). Enter Karin, a 23-year-old beauty who wants to be a model. Petra falls in love with Karin and invites her to move in. The rest of the film deals with the emotions of this affair and its aftermath!

Sometimes I feel that films ( or any art, really) that disturb you are what it's all about.

"disturb" does not have to be pejorative.

Here's how it works: In alphabetical order, each person lists a great movie (obviously, this will be subjective since we all have different ideas of what "great" is)

Collette, we (or at least I) absolutely love your choices, but it's confusing when you don't post alphabetically. I know I'm partly at fault for giving you reps when you do post out of turn (but your choices, alphabetically or not, are just superb—and I'll do almost anything, including repping you when I shouldn't, for a great movie).

Please help us out by posting in turn.
