I don't know about Impressed me BUT I watched the last 20 minutes of Entity last night. Now I watched this film about 15 years ago and it scared the life out of me. I watched it last night and..........................it scared the life out of me. :o

Recently watched the 1985 (Bela)Russian film 'Come and See'. Not sure impressed is the right word, but it deeply affected me.

Probably the most effective film about war ever made and just shows how far Hollywood has to go before it can ever contemplate creating something like this. Spielberg has so much to learn about real filmmaking.

The film that affects me most is "The Family Way" with Hywell Bennett, Hayley Mills (yum) and John Mills. It makes me cry even more than "It's a Wonderful Life" and that's saying something.

Another that I could watch (and have) again and again is The Duellists with Harvey Keitel & Keith Carradine. Its one of Ridley Scott's best but is always relegated to the graveyard shift if it's ever shown these days. I remember chris Kelly showing it being made on Clapperboard- another show they should have kept going.

I rarely watch any film more than once unless I didn't understand it first time - eg -2001 Space Odyssey.
But the 3 Godfather films I can watch over and over again, and have.
My ex-no2's auntie had married a Sicilian, who anyone could see was a consigliare (sound=consilliore). When we visited them (near Messina) it was clear to see -he had been mayor of Messiina - we could go in any cafe and eat for free just by saying we were his family. Every morning there were freebies on his doorstep and people touched ther brow when they met him (but didn't smile as they did it) - was a bit frightening.
Just a thought -no more Mafia cracks here please - it is no joke!!!!!

just watched on DVD " Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg, full of mindless popcorn violence , will probably do wonders for military recriuting programs , worth the rental on a bad TV night

kind of reminded me though nothing like the old Charles Bronson classic 'the Mechanic' ,

:D :D
