[kj] (OT) Spooky events

[Jim Harper]

Subway is most definitely all style and no substance, but it does have great style, even if it is locked permanently into a thoroughly 80s mindset. Nikita and Leon are both great, and Big Blue is breathtaking, if far too bloody long. Never got on with Joan of Arc. I do enjoy The Fifth Element though, but it's nowhere near his best (and would probably have been better with Jean Reno instead of Bruce Willis).

The Tenant is great too. I'm not a big Polanski fan (Repulsion's good, but I just don't get on with Rosemary's Baby), but The Tenant is one of his best films.
 
Jim.

You know, I’ve never really connected with Subway. Too much a case of style over substance, and gruesome Lambert. I love Nikita, Big Blue and Leon (once I’ve got used to the distasteful paedo element), and quite like Joan of Arc. Loathe Fifth Element, however. Besson did a cracking video for Mylene Farmer, too.
 
I can’t mention Adjani without also mentioning The Tenant (an almost perfect film, to my mind).
