I like movies. I like movies a lot. I like to do themes while watching movies: y'know, watch a bunch of bad movies that think they are good (Deep Blue Sea, Reign of Fire, that sort of thing), or watch all of the Lord of the Rings movies (extended version) in a single day. I don't recommend that last one. It takes dedication and stamina. Some of my favorite movies are about writing, though: Throw Momma From The Train topping the list. I try to watch it at least once a year. It's funny, bizarre, egoistic, and Danny DeVito is incredible, both as actor and director. Billy Crystal isn't even very annoying. Strangely enough, it doesn't even show up on this list from GreenCine. What are your favorite movies about writing? The Shining? Barton Fink? Something of which I've never heard? |

Naked Lunch
Submitted by Piccarra Bello on Mon, 03/05/2007 - 14:20.The only movie true to the craft of writing is "Naked Lunch." David Cronenberg has stripped the pretentious facade from the fatted frame of the modern American writer, leaving the bloodied skeleton for all to see in its true incarnation: perverse, disturbed, drug-addled, and paranoid.
Peter Weller is not an actor I admire in the least. However, his performance in this underrated movie is nothing but stellar. Roy Scheider is jovially creepy. Ian Holm proves he is still a master of understatement. And Judy Davis: ah, the luscious Judy Davis!
This is the only movie worth watching about writing.
Finding forrester
Submitted by Tony Mobily on Tue, 03/06/2007 - 00:42.Hi,
OK, OK. This is why I am not gonna tell anybody that I liked "Finding Forrester"... If anything, because it reminded me of what it could possibly be like to go "Finding Salinger". But never mind that. I never said anything.
