THE MOST PRETTY WOMAN OF THE MOVIE WORLD

CATHERINE DENEUVE
And then Catherina Zeto Jones.

Films considered the greatest ever

Films considered the worst ever

I think Yilgun, in posing this question, misses the obvious fact

In the 1930s, 40s and 50s there was little or no television stars, rock stars etc. and the only "celebrity" was the movie star. In an age before TV, internet, CDs, DVDs.. people flocked to the cinema in their millions and the "stars" played their part well (as ordered by the studios) - always looking glamourous, never drunk, always smiling. For this reason they are remembered fondly and thought to be the "greatest" actors, when in fact, if you compare their acting to today, it is rather false, over-acted and hammy!!!!

Have you read the "Movie History"?
I dont think so.

Aferin sana, küçük kız.

yilgun,do you assume that we are all wobbly ,still wet behind ears?

Game is over in the movie?
There is no classical movie star today like Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Novak, Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Charlton Heston, Ingrid Bergman, Humprey Bogard, Victor Mature, Catherina Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, Susan Hayward, Richard Burton, Anthony Perkins, Tony Curtis, Wiliam Holden, Jennifer Jones, Natalia Wood, Marlon Brando, James Dean, etc

The real  world movie has died.

 When??? - Nobody told me!

I havent seen this one. was it any good?

There is no classical level and good  quality movie star today.The old movie stars were ekol(s) (schools)...

 I could not disagree with you more.  Yes, in their day the old movie stars were good, but by today´s standards they would be seen as over-the-top. 

Today we have great actors like Daniel Day Lewis, Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe, Jodie Foster, Meryl Streep, Leo DiCaprio, Denzel Washington.  When you watch them you don´t get a sense of someone "acting" as is the case if you watch most stars of the past.

 Still grossly overpaid though.

Yes, Girleegirl, in my opinion, maybe Jodie Foster is good movie player.

I think the real world movie has died.

Today´s movie players standards are low.

They are not really movie stars, looks like mechanic fashion models  

I have missed the real old movie stars.

 How can you know that the people of ´that time´ didnt see them the same way like we see our movie stars now? Peoples ideas of what is aesthetic change over the years, and what may seem ´old fashionably pure and real´ to you, may have seemed ´ordinary and mechanic fashion model´ to them at that time.

I could not disagree with your thesis more.But I have read the movie history and todays movie as a hobby.And I have seen a lot of films from all over the world.And I have watched movie festivals.I have discussed with some movie critics in Ýstanbul and Ankara.This is my viewpoint.

 I believe many people are interested and knowledgeable in movies and their history, and am dubious that your opinion should be deemed right based on the fact that you have had some discussion with some movie critics.....

You say in an earlier post that there has not been a truly great film for years.  What do you base this on?   Is it merely the glamour of the old "movie star" that you miss?  

There is certainly a lot of crap out there, but then there has always been crap films (the old ´B´ movies were churned out of studios at a huge rate).  However, the "great" films are even better than ever and far less "hammy" than films from the 1940s-1950s.  There have been truly great films made in the last few decades:-  Schlinders List, The Pianist, Road to Perdition, The Talented Mr. Ripley (one of my favourites), Motorcycle Diaries. The Godfather, Goodfellas, Jean de Florette, The Deer Hunter, Midnight Cowboy, Cinema Paradiso, Pulp Fiction... I could list on and on. 

Are none of these films appealing to you? Maybe you are watching the wrong type of movies! 

The Godfather (1972)

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. With Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan.

Good film.

But have you not seen any of the others?  You don´t rate them as good? 

Road to Perdition (2002) - Probably one of the best examples of cinematography since ´Citizen Kane´.

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) - Stunning- beautiful direction by Anthony Minghella and haunting music.

Any of the others?  Are you sure you are not judging modern movies by the vile celebrity culture that surrounds us?

I would add ´Last Picture Show´ to that list - I watched it yet again this week on TV here - I could add loads more but that was the one that sprung to mind immediately.  You mentioned ´Cinema Paradiso´  - how about ´Il Postano´?.  There is a huge variety of amazing films out there to be watched!  And anyway, what do critics know? 

 Ouhhhhhhhh yes!  I forgot about that film, it is really good.  We can watch it when I come to stay with you in Bodrum dimi?

For TheAenigma=

Thank you.

Yes you are right.

I have seen 1-Godfather, 2-Schlinders List, and 3-The Pianist.It is about a jews story in the World War II, Grmany.

Good movie story, good sceneria.Good players.

I think movie star and good player are very different things.

Yes they play very good.They are good actors/actresses.

But they are not movie stars like Marlon Brando, James Dean, Greta Garbo, Anthony Quinn, Ingrid Bergman, etc..

I see you choose good films.You are a good viewer.

I have not seen the other films.But I want to watch them.I will go to Kuþadasý, near Bodrum, next year.We all can watch them when I come to there next year.Maybe,who knows?Small world?

 Try Talented Mr. Ripley - you may find what you are looking for

 Thank you very much.I try to find "Mr. Ripley".

 Maybe I  may find what I am looking for.

You invite people to kusadasi and then force your guests to watch movies there? They will get bored man

I am pretty sure that the stars of ´The Godfather´, along with Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes and Adrian Brody would rather be known as good actors than as ´movie stars´.  You are right though, movie stars and good ´players´ are very different things.  Some of the old ´movie stars´ (not particularly the ones you mentioned above) couldn´t act their way out of a paper bag  - it was all about glitz, glamour and image - the Golden Days of Hollywood! OK there is still a lot of hype surrounding the movie industry today but I honestly think that - generally - the quality of acting nowadays is better than in ´the old days´.

BTW as Marlon Brando was in ´The Godfather´ he was obviously a movie star and a good actor - though personally I preferred him in ´A Streetcar Named Desire´ - not quite sure why!

To Lady In Red :

You are right.This is a good question.

In my opinion, there is someting different in some movie films.

Something like magic, ripeness, greatness, original-popular creativity, nobility, quality and good taste from movie story, scenario, director, workers to movie players.This is a good team labor.

These combination makes a movie player ",  "a movie star."

The critics see this synthesis.

 I didn´t think I asked a question, I thought I gave an opinion
