I'd rather see 'Sack Lunch' - The English Patient (1996) Discussion

I know! I saw the poster for that movie, and I want to know how they got in the sack! Do you think they got shrunk down, or is it just a giant sack?

I prefer art films like "Rochelle, Rochelle," the tale of a young girl's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk.

Yes, those are good choices. But I prefer action/thrillers like Prognosis Negative and Death Blow.

Plan 9 From Outer Space beats all those movies.

I just saw "Rochelle, Rochelle: The Musical" Bette Midler couldn't make it. Her understudy just cried the whole time though...

I laughed about this Seinfeld episode before I saw the English Patient but after seeing it I can safely say Elaine is a moron. This was a great film.

Actually sir, you ruined the thread. They talk about that movie in The Chinese Restaurant episode

It wasn't as good as Death Blow - When somebody tries to blow you up, not because of who you are, but for different reasons all together.

You didn't like "The English Patient"? Why didn't you say so? You're fired.

Didn't Dabney Coleman star in Sack Lunch?? Very underrated performance.

All of the art films mentioned pale on comparison to Cry, Cry Again. The scene where the character is buying back a loaf if his soul is heart wrenching.

I haven't been emotionally affected like that since Ponce de Leon. When he looked at himself in the reflection and saw that he hadn't changed.. I lost it.

And that ENDING...
Out of nowhere there's this lone dancer who appears to be injured. It's a disturbing image. So you cry... and when you see the dancer, you cry again.

I recommend "Flaming Globes of Sigmnud." -- A very underrated classic if you're into Sci-Fi.

None of the above mentioned movies are as brilliant as "The pain and the yearning". I mean, an old woman experiences pain and yearning, how could you not love it? Plus it's a Vincent pick.

This is my signature. Do not confuse it with the post.

[–] doctorc1970 12 years ago

I see "The Pain and the Yearning" hasn't been released on DVD or Blu-Ray... VHS only... damn... i gotta get a hold of a copy for archival purposes.

I would never be involved with anyone on this thread. Too tell you the truth, I can't be with someone who doesn't like 'The English Patient' You think it's a stupid movie? That's what I'm talking about. The film was EXTRAORDINARY. So romantic, it ravaged me. And I thought I knew what love was........Enjoy 'Sack Lunch'
