another list to read....
Some favourites...

Das Experiment - Dramatised re-telling of the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment. Very dark film.

Russian Ark - Feature length film shot entirely in one single take on steadicam. The producers had to develop a proprietary digital recording system to enable them do it in one take (when shooting with film stock you can only shoot about 13-15 minutes footage before having to change). I don't think i've ever seen a film shot as beautifully as this, it's incredible to watch

L.A. Story - Back in the days when Steve Martin was good he made this gem. Kookily funny, plenty of nods to the superficial nature of LA life and it even features Sarah Jessica Parker back in the days when she was fine

Twin Town - If only for the four most effective words in cinema historyL "Cardiff: Pretty Shitty City". I rest my case

The Man Who Wasn't There - One of the lesser acknowledged Coen brothers films. Bloody good though

Le Samourai - A film about an aging hitman who takes on one last job. Stars an impossibly cool Alain Delon and is pretty much responsible for the look and style of a lot of the action/espionage films of later years.

You like a bit o' sausage, don't you?
Twin town was great! But SJP was never nice, even in Flight of the Navigator she looked like she was about ready to jump the nearest fence with a wee man on her back.

Twin Town
"If all else fails, there's Wales!" Awesome line.

I thought it was "Swansea, Pretty Shitty City" actually
They were reading the Dylan Thomas words off the floor outside the train station...I know this because I used to work in a computer shop 20 yards from there (and was working while they were filming there too).

Great filum though :)

It was Swansea, you're right
But equally effective no matter what city really!

And i disagree re SJP - you would do her in LA Story, don't lie!

Swansea Its a pretty shitty city
Hey at least mine Rhymes!

One of those films that if its watched by someone who's never been there, they laugh at the obvious funny bits, but don't get fully.
That film is a lot closer to Swansea life than even the locals would care to admit.

plus a valley mate of mine in the Barons nightclub scene (where the twins have a piss on the singer)

Length?

About 20 seconds
