What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

I thought it was funny and had just the right amount of raunchiness.

Very solid. Not great or anything but just a notch below the first which I thought was always wildly overrated by fans and below other comedies of the last five or ten years like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Anchorman, and Wedding Crashers to name a few.

It's basically astonishing to me that this was filmed six months after "Nosferatu." The difference in technical capabilities looks like decades. Oh yeah, and it's still an awesome movie.

I think you need to check your facts, counselor. "Nosferatu" was filmed in 1921 and "Western Front" 1930. But I do agree that "All Quiet on the Western Front" is one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen.

I was having a pretty up-beat Saturday, then I watched The Messenger.

This is what I get for trusting Netflix, which lists "Nosferatu" as a 1929 production. A nine year difference is far more plausible than a less than one year difference.

As for "All Quiet ..." who can forget:

The first time I saw "All Quiet" was after AFI did their first "100 Greatest Movies" list. I had always wondered about it so I rented it and was blown away by it. Even more so when I remembered that it was made in 1930. It is the very definition of "ahead of its time".

All I've ever done is read the book and watch the John Boy Walton version (which were both great). Guess I should check out the 1930 rendering.

I really wanted to see this movie when it came out, but just never got around to it.

Thank goodness. A solid C-.
