“Just a couple of days ago, I saw ‘Huo zhe’ also directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Gong Li, and since I enjoyed this movie so much I was quite eager to check this movie they also made together, especially since it had also such a solid reputation. Well, to be honest, even though it was definit” read more

“I was recently catching up on Hayao Miyazaki's work and one of my colleagues suggested me to also watch this Ghibli production even if Miyazaki wasn't involved in this project. Well, I have to admit that I really enjoyed it a lot, in fact, I thought it was actually better than many movies directed b” read more
“Since this movie has a really solid reputation, I was really eager to check it out. Well, even though I really liked it, to be honest, I wasn't completely sold though. First of all, the whole point was obviously to see two huge acting icons, Joan Crawford and Better Davis, playing some sisters and” read more
“Since I'm a big fan of Tom Hardy, I was really eager to check out this movie, especially since the material sounded pretty awesome. Well, eventually, it turned out to be a decent watch but not much more than that, to be honest. I mean, it was really neat to see Hardy playing a set of twins and he ” read more

Listal's 100 Films To See Before You Die (2018) (100 movies items)"@Oliver, I'm sorry but it is not possible to vote for this list anymore. Maybe next year?"
Listal's 100 Films To See Before You Die (2018) (100 movies items)"@Kraven, does it really matter? Is there a rule saying that the first item of a list should always be used as the thumbnail of the concerned list? I don't think so."
“Since this movie has a really solid reputation, I was really eager to check it out. Well, I wasn't disappointed and, after each movie I watch from this director, I understand more and more why Zhang Yimou was considered as one of the greatest directors in the 90's. Indeed, it was such a fascinating ” read more
Notes: To be honest, even though I did like it, I didn’t really blow me away though. It is something rather common with a classic like this one, you hear about it for many years, you build up some huge expectations but, somehow, those expectations are not always fulfilled. I guess I should give it a second shot at some point. Still, even though it was slightly disappointing, it remains a really solid and entertaining WWII feature, absolutely. First of all, you had a great cast (Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasence, James Coburn) and they all delivered some solid performances, especially Steve McQueen who was at the top of his game at the time. So, it was a fun movie, that’s for sure but I don’t know, somehow, I thought that the whole tone was just too light for my taste and I really preferred ‘Stalag 17’, a movie with a similar topic but much darker in its depiction of a POW camp. Still, maybe I was in the wrong mood and , like I said before, maybe I should give it another shot at some point.
“For some reasons, I thought I already saw this movie but since I couldn't remember it at all, I was quite eager to check it out again. Well, I'm glad I did because I'm pretty sure I never saw the damned thing before. To be honest, it was definitely not Wong Kar-Wai's easiest movie to watch. Indeed, ” read more
