Guest c4evap Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 First off...let me say this thread is not to be confused with the thread asking for movie recommendations so some guy could seduce his GF. OK? Good... This thread is for recommending the one (1) movie you really like that you've recently seen. NOTE: After posting your one movie, please feel free to post another you'd like to recommend. Just try to keep it one movie per post (if ya can). I'd like to recommend a nice lil scifi movie called "Alien Visitor" (AKA "Epsilon"). IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112974/ An off beat little gem of a movie. Sorry, no shoot-em-ups, flaming spaceships, blazing stars or the like. It's more of a thinking piece. Made back in 1977 in Australia and was written/directed by Rolf de Heer. Basically, it's the story of a woman from Epsilon sent to Earth by mistake (but was she really) who meets an Earth man. Not to give too much away...let's just say she has a profound effect on him. I loved this movie. Do yourself a favor and check it out. c4 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subspatial Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 yeh good one, Rolf De Heer is one of our (Australia's) best film makers. I actually met him a few weeks back. I remember this one from years ago... ........and like C4 also insist that the rest of you see it. I'd also suggest seeing some of his other films eg. "Ten Canoes" and "Bad Boy Bubby". ;D Hmmm... now what would i suggest.... . . . . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c4evap Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Ah yes...Ten Canoes & Bad Boy Bubby. Some really great films have come out of Australia. Not to mention Actors/actresses. c4 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I don't know... it sounds an awful lot like "Earth Girls Are Easy" or have I grabbed the wrong end of the stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiggy Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I have to say Ms Evap from your description of the film you make it sound like a sex reversal of Starman? That a nice film if your into the lovey duvy stuff....I`m not so thats why I recommend John Carpenters Escape From New York as a gritty interpretation of the future..........and REMEMBER you can be cool even with a silly haircut.

Naw. I don't watch movies like that for the "lovey duvy stuff". I watch them because they make me think. It's not Star Wars (or even Starman)...sometimes one gets a bit tired of all the "shoot 'em ups" - that's the time I like to stretch my mind. Sit down with a good scifi movie and ponder... c4 ;D[br]Posted on: January 15, 2007, 02:55:59 AM I checked out the IMDB reviews and decided to pick this one up. Found it for $5.00 brand new on Amazon.com Glad to hear it. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet. My house still refuses to clean itself (LOL). Hopefully, I'll get the chance this week. If anyone here gets a chance...also check out The Quiet Earth. Great Aussie scifi movie.

If you haven't seen "1984" & "A Clockwork Orange" You should go get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Don't think the Aussies are the only Antipodeans producing films - New Zealand have got a blockbuster coming out... About DEADLY SHEEP - herein, lies the proof but I must warn it should not be watched by people of a nervous of sheep-phobic disposition: Blacksheep trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK...I finally got around to watching Code 46. I think i'm going to have to watch it again because I'm sure I missed something. I've never seen anyone fall for anyone quite so fast as the hero of this flick did. I liked the characters and the story premise and I'm a big fan of Tim Robbins and Nabil Elouhabi ;) c4 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
