bruckhorn 105 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Star Wars - Last summer and it was the version released on laser disc (transferred to DVD by a friend of mine)Jaws - While I have seen sections of this on TV over the years, I don't think I've ever watched the whole movie in one sittingE.T. The Extra-Terrestrial - When it first came out on DVDSchindler's List - The first showing on opening day in 1993; I haven't felt the need to be put through that kind of emotional ringer since.

A very good movie, but not a film I am entertained by.I find it fascinating. These days the (powerful) human side of the film tends to pass me by, for the most part. I enjoy viewing it as a masterclass in technical cinema.Same goes for Jaws, purely technically speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 to me its like SPR, another film that I don't want to ever watch again, course its less polished than SL, but I don't enjoy watching excessively violent films repeatedly. I've seen Night and Fog, and I put SL right next to it. It shows something very important. I've seen it, now I don't need to see it again. I don't want to see ET that often. Its a movie that still moves me quite strongly and I want it to stay that way.I don't watch Jaws as often as I did because I've found that I can still be surprised by the movie if enough time passes.Of all the movies, Jaws is the movie that marvels me most on a technical level. Everything about this movie seems to work when it should fall flat on its face. Its a movie that Spielberg needs to watch again. He'd do well to make similar choices again.

Ollie 1,059 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Star WarsIt's been about 8 years. JawsWatched it over the summerE.T. The Extra-Terrestrial When the DVD set was first releasedSchindler's ListIt's been a year or so.Now I've watched quite a few other Williams/ Spielberg films over the past year like CE3K and The Indiana Jones films.I find myself watching less and less movies, even ones I have on DVD. I don't know if it's because I watched these movies to death when I was younger. During football season I don't watch alot of films and I've been spending more time reading and the Mrs. and I usually prefer to go out and do something instead of sitting in watching films.

Henry B 50 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Star Wars - Yesterday (the FANTASTIC Adywan edit!!, the only true Special Edition)What a missed opportunity. This guy made so many harmless fixes and culled so many of the excesses of the Special Edition, yet he ruined it with useless new shots, poor editing and bastardized music. The Death Star conference scene and the duel between Obi-Wan and Vader are destroyed by that added music. "Battle of the Heroes" in that context? Ridiculous. I also really didn't like the random insertion of TIE Fighter swarms in the final battle accompanied by "The Asteroid Field."I saw the aforementioned "fan edit" as well as Jaws and Schindler's List within the last year.

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 To elaborate upon my observation, which required no further explanation until it rendered Joseph speechless...Michael Bolton: Yeah, well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.Samir: You know there's nothing wrong with that name.Michael Bolton: There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.Samir: Hmm... well why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael?Michael Bolton: No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.What George Lucas has done is changed the name of Michael Bolton the singer, just because some whiny software engineer at Initech named Michael Bolton, who came 30 years later, started complaining.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have watched these films every year since 1994 during the John Williams Film Fest, which takes place on the weekend before or after his birthday. All five of his Oscar-winning pictures are viewed in the privacy of my home, along with the other two in the original SW trilogy. I put "Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones" in there for a couple of years, but nine films in three or four days is too much. Plus, I will never watch "Revenge of the Sith" again, so it was another reason to cut out the prequel trilogy.Obviously, the 15th annual will be this weekend.Friday -- Fiddler on the RoofSaturday -- Star Wars trilogySunday -- Jaws, ETMonday - Schindler's List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
