Re: Italian Neo Realistic Films

Apologies if my posts offended anyone. It wasn't intended, nor was I attempting to school anyone, except for myself, as I wondered if my understanding of what the classification means was incorrect.

Re: Favorite Type of Documentary

I generally like every type of documentary. My personal collection consists primarily of musician bio-docs, and concert films. I've admired some true-crime docs like Paradise Lost, but that genre has been largely diluted by the glut on television. I also like off-kilter slice-of-life things like Ver...

Re: Italian Neo Realistic Films

Italian Neo-Realism is one of my favorites... LA DOLCE VITA 8 1/2 GERMANIA ANNO ZERO OSSESSIONE LA STRADA NIGHTS OF CABIRIA ... all favorites. Those aren’t neorealism. Neorealism is mostly plotless and has none of the traditional cinematic flourishes like booming scores. It has boring, static cinem...

Maybe I have a misunderstanding of Neo-realism, but I wouldn't consider La Dolce Vita or 8 1/2 as such. Those early Rossellini flicks, and Visconti's Ossess...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

Nipkowdisc won the lottery. Do you mean the giftcard giveaway over there, or the actual lottery? I ask because I noticed that even before the TCM boards closed he was talking a lot about buying laptops and a new bed and other sundry items, which I found odd since he often posted in the past about g...

Re: Coming Up on TCM

That makes me wish I still had TCM. I'd like to see that doc. Maybe I can find it online somewhere. According to Letterboxd, I've seen more films with music by Steiner than any other composer (163 films). According to reelgood.com, it's only available on HBOmax right now. There apparently was a Blu...
