semi-political love movies. My favorite Antonioni film is Eclipse. But if you want to get all
hip and really cute, try his film Blow-Up. (Antonioni movies, by the way, are an acquired taste.
There is usually (earlier films) a whole LOT of time reserved for quiet, intellectual contemplation
of the crushing burden of existential loneliness we all must endure.
(If you want movies that rapidly connect the dots, his ain't them.)
But getting back to the original question: For some high-class crash-bang just oozing with the grim,
sexual masculinity of Steve McQueen, you should try Peter Yates' Bullitt -- god how I LOVE this movie!
the original question wasn't about what films i would like to see at the cinema if i had a magic wand [it'd probably be jaws]. it was, out of the two showing at my local cinema [taxi driver and pulp fiction] which one should i go see? in fact, it isn't really about which is the better film [i mean, i've got both of them on dvd, i could watch them now if i wanted], but rather which one would be the best to watch on a big screen, or even just to say "i've seen that at the cinema"?
