River of Grass is probably Citizen.

Je, tu, il, Elle is great people should watch it. It's basically a Lesbian Horror Romance Diabetes Commercial.

I never saw The Nativity Story, if you ever see a dog film on any list it's likely mine.

That sounds awful.

The list I submitted was garbage, but hey, at least it was something...but yeah, as Iroquois said, I don't care about the director's gender when watching a movie, but I think from now on, I will start to at least look for more films directed by women, so I guess this list should help me with that.

The Invitation was pretty good from what I remember of it. I'm not sure if I submitted it in my list or not, since I failed to save a copy of it, but it's most likely that I did.

Now and Then doesn't look for me, so I'll pass.

I've only seen The Invitation out of the 1 pointers and the first 2. I liked it but didn't consider voting for it.

mark f 08-03-18 05:06 PM

I've seen all the 1-Pointers except for Women's Day (although it seems awfully familiar). cat. I'll post the Blood Diner trailer if you don't. :cool:

As far as Now and Then goes, I liked it a bit better when it came out but it's still decent. Yes, the part when they were young is much better. As far as The Invitation goes. I did write a brief snippet to donniedarko about it -

No votes from me yet.

Iro. if it's not too much trouble, you could add a few more entries please.

That sounds like everything I like.

8. The Invitation - Karyn Kusama
18. Now & Then - Lesli Linka Glatter


I guess I'm the big fan of The Invitation??? Great atmosphere, tension and hectic climax.

Now & Then is one of my wife's favourite films. I've seen it a few times and each time I feel like I like it more. Stand By Me is vastly superior, but this one is good.

I was going to leave this alone but... Referring to the late director, I posted

How is it bottom of the barrel though? She doesn't even reach the bottom of the barrel of sugar as far as i'm aware, unless there's a sequel.

Does this mean you approve? You may be the only one who does... :lol:

I don't "approve" per se - but I don't disapprove. :mad:

Mr Minio 08-03-18 06:38 PM

It's one of Akerman's weakest, but still better than half of @mark f's top 10. :cool:

mark f 08-03-18 06:43 PM

That means half my Top 10 is
or
. Ahem.

Mr Minio 08-03-18 06:45 PM

LOL. Take care!

Now And Then didn't end up on my radar but I remember it being a very sweet and enjoyable film. Probably wouldn't have made my list without a rewatch though. Haven't seen The Invitation.

The Invitation is a flawed film, but does has pretty decent entertainment value. Maybe with better actors it would've been a great film. I gave it a
+ when I watched it
