That second one also likely falls into the romantic comedy genre, but both of them just felt more fleshed out than your run-of-the-mill romcom.<BR/><BR/>I certainly could've put "Capturing The Friedmans" in the list...I distinctly remember that one scene where the detective states (without any hint of it being an issue) how they had to "help" the kids remember details. I think I said out loud (in the theatre) "Holy crap!"<BR/><BR/><BR/>Peter,<BR/><BR/>That's a shame about the Kurosawa tribute not making it into the program. Any exposure he can get is a good thing. I'll be curious to hear what you think of "Tokyo Sonata". I quite liked it, though there's a shift in tone at one point that was certainly a bit odd.<BR/><BR/>I'd heard good things about "Red Squirrel" as well. One day...Bob Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243657105760780425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-62054875020800714952008-11-18T12:21:00.000-05:002008-11-18T12:21:00.000-05:00Great list, Bob.

I like it too, My list will be out next week when the film festival here in Denver ends. <BR/><BR/>On a somewhat related note, the main guy who books the festival told me he was gong to have a tribute to Kiyoshi Kurosawa that fell through. I guess I'll have to wait for the <B>Tokyo Sonata</B> DVD.Peter Nellhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161286159856159772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-42102590521465396992008-11-18T02:39:00.000-05:002008-11-18T02:39:00.000-05:00Excellent picks here.

His name and "romantic comedies" just don't seem to fit in the same sentence. <BR/><BR/> And I believe that this is the first documentary list that has not included "Capturing the Friedmans." Don't get me wrong, it's a pitch-perfect documentary, but sometimes can seem like too easy a pick.James Yateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318633423894546202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-83748356266417608542008-11-17T11:58:00.000-05:002008-11-17T11:58:00.000-05:00Haven't seen it yet, the negative buzz has kept me...Haven't seen it yet, the negative buzz has kept me away (that and it not playing anywhere easily accessible around here). I'll see it eventually I suppose. I don't even like <I>Lovers</I> nearly as much as <I>Lucia</I>, though it's not bad. I doubt Medem will be able to top what will likely remain his one great masterpiece, though.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-84514041590021006402008-11-17T11:49:00.000-05:002008-11-17T11:49:00.000-05:00Damn straight Ed!

Both are great films.<BR/><BR/>Yep, Pamela Tiffin was really cute. <A HREF="http://www.briansdriveintheater.com/comedy/pamelatiffin/pamelatiffin4.jpg" REL="nofollow">She grew up nicely too</A>.<BR/><BR/>Have you seen "Chaotic Ana" Ed? It's Medem's most recent film and after both "Sex And Lucia" and "Lovers Of The Arctic Circle", it was a huge disappointment. Just terrible.<BR/><BR/>It's entirely possibleI've asked you this before by the way...B-)Bob Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243657105760780425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-38251780344319799202008-11-17T09:58:00.000-05:002008-11-17T09:58:00.000-05:00I love that there's actually someone who appreciat...I love that there's actually someone who appreciates both <I>Sex and Lucia</I> and <I>One, Two, Three</I> as much as I do. The sexiest film I've ever seen and the funniest one I've ever seen (and I think you can guess which is which, though Pamela Tiffin is pretty cute too).Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.com
