I loved these movies as a kid and I never stopped liking them.

Its a great movie! Underated and very complex. I liked it a lot. It also has a great cast. The chase scenes in the movie were also very well done.

Most definately... I still will attest to anyone that the car chases in Ronin are the best and most near to reality chases (gee they actually were DRIVINGduring them...no CG) I have ever seen. The shootouts are also very realistic. (guns kick, jam and run out of ammo, bystanders are hurt) It's not a fluffy action movie, but it's very enjoyable.

I suspect it was the lost 6 hours of Erich von Stroheim's silent movie Greed, a copy of the Necronomicon and a map to an alternate, less restrictive gateway to a certain geometrical formation in the Carribean.

In other words, I haven't the foggiest.

I thought as much... hehe... it's fun to hear theories though.

Ronin is a good movie, yes.

Off course whatever was in it is beside the point. It could have been anything (the head of Alfredo Garcia, a miniature Adolf Hitler on a bicycle) and it would not have changed the plot in any way (unless the plot was constructed around NOT opening it). Essentially, its just a macguffin . Nothing less.

Still, I suspect (seriously) its could have been (a) something like a minature nuclear device or a powerfull weapon or (b) it could have been just something used to lure the Jonathan Price character (Shamus) out of hiding.

It is definately a macguffin.

(a) possible but unlikely... it gets mighty rough treatment for being anything destructive or powerful (and by default fragile)
(b) I think thats what it was... especially considering the ending

That movie would have rocked so much more if there WAS a miniature Hitler in the case.

Off course - that would have taken the entire plot onto a whole other level. :grin:

I've found very few "The Secret of NIMH" fans.

That makes me sad.

Postby **bigsleepj** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 11:00 pm

I liked Secret of Nimh - it was creepy but very good and extremely underated!

Postby **Ssjjvash** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 6:06 pm

I liked Secret of Nimh. It was cool

I'm a Secret of NIMH fan! It's one of the few works of American animation that give me hope for American animation, except that it was made the year I was born (1982) and there hasn't really been anything made here that approached that since then. Actually, most of the Don Bluth films were excellent (American Tail and All Dogs Go To Heaven but not their sequals, because the analogies are lost in them) but NIMH was the best, even though I disagree with the banning of animal testing, but now with only Human testing, it opened up work for a lot of people (to become test subjects) so I guess I can't complain too much, even though I know it has screwed some of them up... I mean, at least it gives them a chance to get back on their feet and get free medicine while they're at it, so it's a risk but it is something... That's not the point, of course, and it's just a big bunny trail... The point was, this movie was excelent... Beautiful animation, excelent story and characters, serious and dark and a model that should be the one to follow for American animators in present time, though they don't...

Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door
I've yet to meet a person besides me who hasn't fallen asleep during this movie, but I loved it.

Postby **Shao Feng-Li** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 4:51 pm

You just met one.

Postby **Tarnish** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 4:56 pm

Cool.
I forgot The Brothers Grimm, My first horror movie. And IMHO, a really good one.

Postby **Shao Feng-Li** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 5:12 pm

The Brothers Grimm was a good one. I have all the fairy tales, so I'm kinda biased anyway. ^-^

let see i liked the matrix sequels (even tho the cg was like horrible and there was unneeded sex in it) also Dragon heart, windtalkers, Resident evil, UHF, Godzilla, and Master of disguise.
