I've been eager to see this since reading "Ghost Soldiers". I'm assuming this movie is based on the book "The Great Raid", but the two are about the same event. Regardless, I'm eager to see this, and I hope the film itself holds true to the feeling of the book.

Yeah, all of this talk of a release date is well and good. I'm ready to see some specs and cover art. I'm with most everyone else, though. I'm going to get Batman and Batman Returns and maybe Batman Forever (just for the DC), but there's no way I'll ever own Batman and Robin.

I didn't see this in the theatres, but I am looking fwd to picking it up on DVD. I was kind of surprised there was no "unrated" release to go along w/ the theatrical cut. From what I understand this movie is ripe with opportunity for an unrated release.

Just a heads up to those interested: the Hellboy boxset is available at the Best Buy at Bailey's Crossroads in Falls Church, VA. They had about 30 in stock. I didn't pick one up b/c I haven't seen the film, but it is a pretty sweet lookin' set. Priced at $42.99 I believe.

I'm glad this thread got brought back up. I've been hoping to see Scorsese's preferred cut since the first time I saw this film. HEre's a link that speaks of his 3.5 hr vision http://slate.msn.com/id/2075910/ Other articles I have seen say Scorsese had to edit it for the Weinsteins, and...

That's the same trailer that's on the DVD for Gangs of New York. Maybe that's just the one that was put out before the film was going to be split up? I don't know, but I was wondering the same thing earlier when I put in my GoNY DVD (had to watch that BEAUTY of an opening battle one more time)...

Nick, Planet of the Apes is one of those I bought and never watch. From Hell was the "free" in a buy two, get one free. Daredevil? What can I say? I have a celebrity crush on Jennifer Garner. Oh, yeah, my girlfriend owns the Godfather collection, so I won't be needing that. Thanks for the...

To Robert's collection: Best Three: (film quality) (in my opinion) Being John Malkovich Chinatown Fight Club (would be more, but the game is three, right?) Worst Three: (film quality, again, IMO) Matrix Reloaded ...can't find two others that I have seen that I can judge...

Joe Fisher wrote: When I first saw it, I hated it. I put it in one night as background noise to write a paper, and now it's one of my favorite films. I think it does take a second viewing. The first time I saw it, I was disgusted, but the second time I found it hilarious.

Great idea...I've been wanting to participate in one of these but I also get on right behind some guy with a huge collection... Okay, here goes (nothing personal of course, just my opinion): To Joe Fisher's Collection: Best Three: A Christmas Story LotR Collection Goodfellas (for...

I've only see Grand Illusion , but I was curious if I would enjoy this film if I enjoyed the other one. I've been wanting to pick up Grand Illusion, and if Rules of the Game is just as enjoyable I may as well pick it up, too. Thanks for any info.

You could use the scene from FotR when Gandalf tells Frodo that he must take the Ring to Mordor to destroy. That's a pretty powerful scene if you are looking for something to discuss making tough choices.

I finally got around to watching this movie last night, and I can say that I really enjoyed it. I had heard enough to not expect an X-Men-like tour de force, and I really appreciated the tone and pacing of the movie. I never got bored with it, and I was drawn in from the opening credits (which...

I thought of another one...in The Matrix while he is riding with Switch and Trinity in the cab, he gets out of the car at one point, and they say to him, "No, Neo, you've been down that road before" and he looks down a road. What in the world is that road? Have I missed something completely, or...
