gmku · 03.14.2008, 01:31 PM

I saw this again last night, this time on cable. This has to be my favorite movie of all time.

Comment here only if have good things to say about it. No detractors allowed.

uhler · 03.14.2008, 01:32 PM

great movie! i like the pubic hair shot.

davenotdead · 03.14.2008, 01:33 PM

vanessa redgrave is ridiculously hot in this movie...

gmku · 03.14.2008, 01:36 PM

Many hot "birds" in the movie, actually.

Including the Yardbirds scene. Bad joke.

atsonicpark · 03.14.2008, 02:33 PM

I prefer blow out for the stylish direction and john travolta's ass chin, but this is good too.

Oh, whatever...

I suppose if you have ADHD.

Style · 03.14.2008, 06:54 PM

The first time I saw it, I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. I just knew I couldn't get it out of my head.

Everyneurotic · 03.14.2008, 07:02 PM

ohh the 60's movie with the yardbirds? the yardbirds rule!!!!

toxic johnny · 03.14.2008, 07:03 PM

Well Antonioni is an incredible filmmaker...
Zabriskie Point is my particular favourite... check 'em all out though, it's all seminal stuff.

Especially:
L'Avventura
La Notte
Il Deserto Rosso
The Passenger

As well as Blowup of course...

yes, yes it's great we've discussed this here a trillion times.

jimbrim · 03.14.2008, 08:54 PM

good film.

Dead-Air · 03.14.2008, 11:44 PM

Like it a lot. And the Yardbirds scene is cool and all. Still I can't help wonder what it would have been like if he'd got the Velvets like he originally planned.

schizophrenicroom · 03.15.2008, 02:34 PM

eh, the yardbirds thing is cool, but nothing can really compare with the last few minutes.

(apart from the porno i plan to make with clive owen one day. i just thought i'd announce that.)

fugazifan · 03.15.2008, 05:01 PM
