Ik zag een dergelijk topic hier nog niet, dus bij deze. Wat zijn jullie beste oudere films, en waarom? Welke film je helemaal kut vindt mag je er ook bij zetten. Laten we het over films van 30 jaar of meer hebben.
TS begint, dus:
Papillon (1973) - IMDbA semi-fictional account of Henri Charrière's time in the penal system in French Guyana - some of it spent on infamous Devil's Island - is presented. It's the early 1930s. Charrière - nicknamed Papillon because of his butterfly tattoo - and Louis Dega are two among many who have been convicted in the French judicial system, they now being transferred to French Guyana where they will serve their time, never to return to France even if they are ever released. A safe-cracker by criminal profession, Papillon is serving a life sentence for murdering a pimp, a crime for which he adamantly states he was framed. Dega is a wealthy counterfeiter, who expects his well-to-do wife eventually to get him released. On Papillon's initiative, Papillon and Dega enter into a business arrangement: Papillon will provide protection for Dega, while Dega will finance Papillon's escape attempt. As Papillon and Degas' time together lasts longer than either expects, their burgeoning friendship ends up being an important factor altering their original plans, needed as they work with and against others who are trying to achieve their own goals, sometime conflicting with Papillon and Dega's.
Een prachtige film die deels waar gebeurd is, met Steve McQueen en Dustin Hoffman in de hoofdrol. Kijk hem wel 1 keer per jaar denk ik, er zit een goeie feeling in en geen moment vond ik 'm langdradig hoewel hij toch 2.5 uur duurt. De nieuwe remake vind ik bagger.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - IMDb, iets heel anders, vond ik dan weer gewoon kut. Hoewel het er mooi uit ziet vind ik 'm ongelofelijk saai en kan ik mijn aandacht er absoluut niet bij houden.
