What kind of movies do you like, why and what part, if any, does language play in your tastes.
I guess that all my favourite movies have been visual spectacles, the most impressive being the 70mm restored cut of Lean's Lawrence of Arabia. That movie was awesome, the one and only 70 mm movie I have seen. Then there was Vincent Ward's Navigator, another visually impressive work. The most recent addition to my list of all-time favourites does raise intersting questions about language. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fascinated me because of the way the subtitles were mentally replaced with voices. I loved that movie, but when I reflect back on it, I hear the English dialogue, I don't see it. The way that my mind has substituted voices for the written subtitles intrgues and fascinates me, especially because I would love to know whose voices I used!
