From what I hear, I probably would not like Sin City. I don't like gory/violent movies for one, secondly a lot of my friends told me it was misogynist and that all the female characters were strippers/whores. I'm seriously picky when it comes to how females are portrayed in movies.

Thanks so much everyone for replying in my thread! I can't believe a thread of mine was so successful! I really appreciate all the recommendations.

I cannot wait for Chronicles of Narnia and King Kong.

 

[Cosette]

oolie coco thanks for creating the thread Lovely idea.

strawberry reminded me of a bunch of others I forgot to mention, too!

Les Choristes
Corpse Bride
Thumbsucker
2046

How could I forget...

Oh and with Sin City - it's not that I'm not picky about how females are portrayed in films, it's just that I try to completely separate myself and look at the film in a more cultural way - if that makes sense... I mean it's based on a comic, and comics aren't real... They aren't portraying females in a way that the filmmakers think they should be portrayed in real life, they're just exaggerating things artistically as comics usually do... in my opinion.

 

[Erin]

the Forty Year Old Virgin (hilarious)
Shopgirl (moving)

 

[oolie coco]

Thank you for that opinion Cosette! I really appreciate it. I would definitely see the film if I was able to take gore/violence more. I can be such a baby about that. I'm a HUGE fan of Devon Aoki.

 

[jennifer~]

I wish I'd seen Sin City just to say I liked it but the truth is, I haven't seen too much this year

But from what I have:

Constant Gardener
Corpse Bride
Harry Potter (naturally I'm speaking as a loyal fan)

 

[travolta]

^ you would like it, i'm sure. come on, don't you love murder ballads?


sin city and broken flowers were pretty outstanding, i'd say.


also, i'm glad to see a fellow harry potter fan in you, jennifer. B) unfortunately, i must admitt i didn't like this last one, but there is still hope.
