just watched primer, and it was confusing but i got the jist of it, but i won't spoil it for others, who have yet to see it.
i might watch it, but not now, it's late and i have to get up early, but thanks for the suggestion's.

EDIT: except the name, Primer, i don't understand it's relevance to the film, the only connection i can think of is that of the way there trying to get to the perfect situation or prime the situation so that they can stop that guy killing Rachel and that they go through it several times.

it doesn't, i just don't want to watch a black and white movie , at least ATM. i have preference for non-b&w films that's all.

I think that the one with the fishy name struck a nerve

p.s. i have no real problem with watching them, it's just i'd rather watch a colour film, i mean i liked shindlers list for example, or singing in the rain...

btw singing in the rain isn't a black and white movie, it's color

the more you know

one grade a tim burton pwn coming up gang. yo won't have to wait much longer

try mindgame

for the record i would watch a B&W film if it were interesting, it's just in this instance I'm not ineterested in them.
    

HA

i only watch 3d movies

i've also been amazed at how many times in this topic you have managed to misspell the word "interesting."

while we're on this topic is Stalker a good movie or just some hipster bullshit

one grade a tim burton pwn coming up gang. yo won't have to wait much longer

i was just going to empty quote it

when i mentioned older films i meant going back a few years. leon the professional was made in 94 (i thought it was 84), that's 16 years ago. you can easily go back 20+ years and find non-smash hits that had great production quality (the price of production formed too much of a barrier of entry if you go too far back)

the only black and white film i'd recommend for you off hand would be ikiru, by akira kurosawa (director of the seven samurai). it doesn't suffer the same pacing issues that people associate with black and white films (long empty pauses between scenes etc) and it's pretty powerful. actually it's slow paced but deliberate not accidental, you'll understand if you watch it

the really interesting movies, regardless of when they came out, are usually the ones where they didn't have a huge budget or some tremendous production scale and had to be clever about the way they present the story. that's where the good performances are, and the intelligent film-making methods are, because they had to earn every inch of effectiveness they had rather than throw garbage special effects or marquee film stars at you and call it entertaining storytelling.

That is so true. I had an Iranian Cinema class last year and man, so many beautiful and amazing movies, all done with little to no support of the governmental (at best) and extreme censorship (at worst).

So Swordfish, I could just go and suggest you watch anything by Kiarostami, Makhmalbaf or Panahi but I'll distill it into a list of great works:
Once upon a Time, Cinema, Mohsen Makhmalbaf
The House is Black, Forough Farrokhzad (It's in b&w but fuck you if you are gonna miss one of the most shocking moment of beauty I've ever seen in a movie)
The Cow, Dariush Mehrjui
The Cyclist, Mohsen Makhmalbaf
The Gilan trilogy by Abbas Kiarostami
Where is the friend's home?
Life and Nothing More
Au travers des oliviers (don't know the english title but it's the third of the trilogy)
The taste of Cherry Abbas Kiarostami (BIG recommendation)
Ten, Kiarostami
Five, Kiarostami (you gonna hate that one)
Five in the afternoon, Samira Makhmalbaf (Mohsen's daughter)
Smell of Camphor, Fragrance of Jasmine, Bahman Farmanara  (pretty good and intelligent "comedy")

I don't know if a guy who is "not interested" in b&w movies will be interested in Iranian Cinema, but at least one of you guys will take a look.

man léon was great thanks for reminding me. if you liked léon try luc besson's earlier films like subway and nikita. idk what happened to him after that

Yeah thanks for the saracism.
use your brain next time not your saracism.

what sarcasm? you know if i knew asking for suggestions with a pre-defined limits was going to cause problems because people have a problem with the fact that i don't want to watch some thing for a specific reason, i wouldn't have asked. All your proving is that your just a bunch of elitist bastards, just because i don't want to watch something because it's B&W automatically makes me an idiot? seriously get over yourselves  i just fancied watching interesting movies that were in colour, is that really so hard to understand? apparently not, because ac ourding you not wanting to watch something for some reasons makes you an idiot

and about singing in the rain, i guess it was something else i was thinking of, just made a mistake.

p.s. either you miss-spelled sarcasm, or it was on perpose, if it were my guess is that it's an amalgam between sarcasm and racism.. well i won't reply to that just yet.

no, saracism is a quote from y2dazz. dada was making fun of your trouble with spelling.

mind game was a serious rec by the way. it's animated so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, but it's uh interesting while remaining pretty simple to understand. I would avoid primer, which is deliberately complex
