The Third Man was my favorite for a long time. Odd Man Out I didn't like much the first time I saw it but it has grown on me over the years. Voted The Fallen Idol.

Ive only seen it once but I thoght it was pretty bloody marvellous I must say. Some of the shots and framing especially... this one scene sticks in my mind where hes in a doorway and half his face is lit and this ... *expression* on his face. Wonderful.

Love Alida Valli in The Third Man.

The Third Man is possibly my favourite movie.

That's called a fuckin' "Dutch tilt" for a reason, ya know.
― Tiny Fuckin Robot, Wednesday, February 18, 2004 1:58 PM
There's all sorts of great movie love stuff in it, but taken as a whole it isn't all that special.

Third Man better than The Big Sleep or The Maltese Falcon = GTF you stupid tits
― Death to False Meta (Noodle Vague), Friday, November 13, 2009 4:23 PM
I sort of find the whole movie a little bit irritating. Tho I guess at least it's not boring, which I can't say for Reed's Odd Man Out.

11. CHILDREN OF MEN (Alfonso Cuarón, 2006, UK) [1,149.08 points; 13 votes]
S&S: 1,176 | TSPDT: 556 | BOXD: 157
MORBS SEZ: "I saw it twice in the theaters, very rare for me … overrated (by me at first too)."Not all messages are displayed: show all messages (1492 of them)
― 'Children of Men', the new Alfonso Cuaron sci-fi flick
I just saw this movie. It was fucking brilliant. I loved almost every second of this movie, even the ones I saw coming (like the "twist" after the thing with JMoore, who by the way was used perfectly in this movie, Pete OTM). Both Clive Owen and Michael Caine have this supreme EASE with whatever they're doing on screen, it's kind of terrifying. And God, SO FUCKING HARROWING.
― The Android Cat (Dan Perry)
this has a range of feeling! like when SPOILER gets iced. it's a really short movie too, so extra points for that.

I don't quite get what people see in Children of Men, but at least I enjoyed it.

the least happy "happy" ending since A.I.

Why was Julianne Moore so clean while everyone else was so grubby?
