GOLDFINGER! DR STRANGELOVE!

I didn't care for Strangelove.

Goldfinger wasn't one of the nominees and somehow missed getting on the top 250 at imdb so I missed it before.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

:huh:

Zulu was an ok movie I don't remember well and wasn't in either of my references. Haven't seen City of God.

1933- King Kong

Thanks, Tim  :rolleyes:


;)

Personally I'd give Duck Soup the award for 1933; Triumph of the Will for 1934; The Bride of Frankenstein for 1935, and Popyeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor for 1936.  I don't know film thoroughly enough after that to comment.

Why did you pick 1933 as the start year?
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Year I was born.  ;)

But really it's that my knowledge was getting too fuzzy to make reasonable selections. To me the golden age of cinema began in '39 and that's where I was originally going to end(working backwards).

GOLDFINGER! DR STRANGELOVE!

Never seen either.
What are they about?
I think Goldfinger is a 007 movie, but I don't know about the other one.
What's the plot?

Very nice and detailed. Will surely check all the movies out. At least the ones that I haven't watched yet. :)

He speaks English.  Why would he need subtitles?

It's not a bond film.  It's art film about finger fucking an old lady while she pisses.  Very controversial.  Also weird.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
