Body: I can't believe that neither Matt nor Adam had What Ever Happened to Baby Jane in their Top 5 movies about movies list? Is there no love for either Bette Davies or Joan Crawford? Or was is that they were too scared to see what was under on the covered dishes that Bette served to Joan? For shame gentlemen, just watching two faded movies stars who hate each other, but are dependent on each other spiral in different directions, one in terror and the other into insanity, is so mesmerizing. If you haven't seen it, put it on the top of your queue. P.S. I find it weird that so many people use Grand Guignol to describe this movie. It's like the French theater was built just for this movie.

Body: Being new to Spout, I am not sure if spoiled discussions are allowed - but I would love to discuss the end of the film and how people read it.With that in mind; I am fascinated by the moment where Sheriff Bell is pausing before entering the hotel room where (supposedly) Chigurh lies in wait. The image of the orange light emanating from the blown out lock hole. The moments where we see Bell decide whether his life is worth finding out what really lies behind this door.What does Bell decide? Does he really enter the room? Was Chigurh in the room? What is the significance of the dime on the floor and the open vent?I am also fascinated by the final scene with Chigurh. How does everyone read the moments where Chigurh watches the boys in his rear view mirror and then is hit by the car. Is it simple distraction? Is there a point behind having the young boys help him? Why, theoretically - not within the story, does the car hit him? Take a listen to this - http://www.nocountryforoldmen.com/podcast/ - and come back with reactions.Jed

Body: In your recent mention on Filmspotting of Alberta vs. Saskatchewan, may I just mention the following films where the breathtaking Alberta scenery is featured: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Brokeback Mountain, Unforgiven, Legends of the Fall, and who can forget the 2003 TV Spin-off show of “Fargo”. The only interesting ÏMDB mention of a movie filmed in Saskatchewan was “The Land of the Yodeling Mushroom People”2004. ‘nuff said!

Body: #1 - Rumble Fish. This astonishingly beautiful film was so far ahead of its time critics tarred, feathered, and ran it out of town. It is, however, an achingly emotional story about the effects of time, distance, growth, and alienation. It's a love-it-or-hate-it film, and many will be put off by it, but those who can appreciate it will almost certainly adore it. It may be Coppola's best. #2 River's Edge - in keeping with the 1980s, this portrayal of sibling rivalry and suburban alienation in a lower-middle-class home reveals more about the time it was made than any other movie of 1987. It is Keanu's best performance, and although much of the film is terribly cheesy and hammy, heavy-handed and predictable, it retains a nostalgic charm and a surprising relevancy today. Both #1 and #2 feature Dennis Hopper very prominently. This is coincidence. Both were made shortly after his dedication to sobriety. this is probably not coincidence.#3 City of Lost Children. One & "petit frere" compare very nicely with the hysterical infants from the beginning of the film and the narcoleptic sextuplets played by Dominique Pinon. There's something recognizably fraternal in the siamese twins, too, although they are sisters. #4 Brødre. Anyone who saw this 3 years ago need never see "in the Valley of elah" or its ilk. This movie nailed the narrative of the fractured vet's effects on his ociety, and the most painful effects on his family. The product of a country with almost no modern experience of war, and the product of a woman director, this film captures the male ego and identity in a frank, respectful, and startlingly honest way. #5 Fists in the Pocket - as sstartling today as it was in its 1965 debut, this portrait of a family in the midst and grasp of insanity is horrifying, but startlingly recognizable in the modern world. Most families have their moments, and most brothers in particular bear either the brunt or the responsibility for countless acts and thoughts of violence toward their own family. Nice picks, gentlemen. Ki-ka-wah-pah-min mino.
