Re: Random Film Questions
Who was your favorite police chief?
Films are usually about the maverick cop who goes against his stuffy boss aren't they? So I'm going to cheat and answer it as 'favourite cop' -Popeye Doyle
2. Which evil film character/performance gave you the most chills?
Frank Booth. Don't you fucking look at me
3. Your favorite song to a film scene moment? (Where the two just seemed to be made for each other)
All Along The Watchtower and collapsing Camden in you know what..
4. Name a great scene in an otherwise bad movie.
De Niro and Pacino's cafeteria scene in Heat. That scene seems the only real point of the film.
5. Your favorite one or two hit wonder director (eg Michael Cimino)
Charles Laughton...what might have been.[/quote]

Re: Random Film Questions
Who was your favorite police chief?
Um, if I'm allowed to stray from film, I'd choose Yaphet Kotto in Homicide: Life on the Streets. But that seems a little like self-love. So I'll go for R Lee Ermey in Seven:

I need to think more on the other two.

Heat actually has quite a high critical reputation. BFI even did one of their study books on it. But for me it's quite a cliched, formulaic thriller and I never bought into this idea of Michael Mann as this great auteur

I know it's critically lauded. I think it's brilliant, the cliched formulaic thriller is the original version he made as a tv movie, L.A. Takedown.
I think Mann was a great director who lost it pretty quick. Don't think I've seen anything beyond Collateral.

the fact that it was Markus that said True Romance was bad is put in perspective by the fact he's looking forward to Top Gun 2.

Re: Random Film Questions
Another great thread idea, Markus!
Win: Hank Quinlan in Touch of Evil. Place: Claude Rains in Casablanca. Show: R.Lee Ermy in "Seven"
2. Which evil film character/performance gave you the most chills?
I've got to give the win to Javier Bradem, Place to Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth and Show to John Huston spitting out the word "anything" in Chinatown.
3. Your favorite song to a film scene moment? (Where the two just seemed to be made for each other)
I LOVE Harvey Keitel getting shit-faced drunk to "Rubber Biscuit" in Mean Streets.
4. Name a great scene in an otherwise bad movie.
Gerrit Graham's "test drive for Toby" scene in "Used Cars"
I also like seeing Max Von Sydow impaled on a spaceship spike in "Flash Gordon"
5. Your favorite one or two hit wonder director (eg Michael Cimino)
Throw up the coin: Stuart Gordon or Larry Cohen

After much thought, I think it's where the two were made for each other. The Wicker Man, you could go either for "Willow's Song", or the end scene's "Summer is A Coming In".

Re: Random Film Questions
I heard “Cosmic Dancer” recently and it made me think of Billy Elliot.
I almost called it “Billy Madison”. Thank you Internet.

Re: Random Film Questions
Police Chief - Quinlan in Touch of Evil
Chills - Nothing to do with evil, But I find the 'tissue of lies' scene, and several others, in Bergman's Cries and Whispers almost unbearably chilling
Music - very traditional of me but the first one I thought of was As Time Goes By
Good in bad - I didn't mind the apes in 2001, although they were nothing like as groovy as the ones in the Planet of the Apes. Soon as they found those bones, though, the movie turned to shit
One Hit wonder - Laughton or Brando, or even Welles again

Of course they were!
“Bad” is being generous.
