sorry whats jiak ken tang? hokays is a *******ization of ok right?

anyways, i was wondering is EDMW representative of the general singaporean population? i hardly find people who enjoy the same movies as me... is it true most singaporeans prefer asian films/dramas?

and though i may *tolerate* the occasional blockbuster, i wouldn't rate them any good at all.

just wondering...

nah. it'd be wrong to take the demographics of EDMW and use it as a gauge to represent the general demographics of Sg.

firstly, there are no girls in EDMW

ok ok. just a few. u can count by the number of those hundred pages long chee hong threads.

2ndly, too many sch kids here with multiple bo liao clone accounts.

judging by the threads here, always spamming wan bao news, STOMP news, taiwan news.... anti PAP, govt, NS threads, complain threads.... all the why ah? how ah? threads..... spoof threads.... anti Wood Xuan threads.... anti Christianity threads.... (wat hv i left out?)

if u were to use EDMW as a gauge.... then the ave sgrean would prob be a 16 yr old boy staying at home whole day, watching ch8/U, playing computer games and pcw-ing on EDMW



to find pple whom enjoy the same type of movies as u, i guess u hv to go to an area where these pple hang out.

like the forum of which TS originally posted in, the movies forum.

also, what kinda movies us sgreans prefer are sometimes affected by the general population, or by cinemas who choose to air the kinda movies which they think they can rake in the most profit, or also by the media authority.

there are lotsa nice foreign obscure movies out there, but if the media authority dont allow it to be aired in our cinemas, or if the media and journalists dont write about them, or if cinemas like Shaw or GV dont bring them in, or only screen them in tiny theaters for a short duration..... then us sgreans wont get to enjoy them.

i guess DVDs or bukit timah are the only source.

we can buy the DVDs, screen them at home on our 100 inch LCD TV and invite a couple of frens over to start our own movie appreciation club.

wow , one of the list i m looking for!
nevertheless, miss out quite a number though...

 

[Xanthos]

its just me then.

i just cant stand the general stereotypical cheena ch8/chU one-sided mentality type of audience/demographics here

some are too young, some too cheena.

most wont even be aware of half of the movies u posted. esp those pre year 2000 movies.

they fall asleep halfway watching Godfather.

Remember something. You are here too. Does that make you part of EDMW? Yes. But do you have the same mentality of those you described? I guess not.

I choose my conversation in EDMW because I do not have a tunneled vision of the community. Majority doesn't mean all.

Just look at those who posted their recommendations here. I find most of them to be very decent movies which I should consider adding into the list.

Come on kid, have an open mind and know that many people from all walks of life views EDMW. You will be surprised. You are just not familiar with these individuals yet.

How about 'Carlito's Way'? Al Pacino at his finest

 

[CrispyCrackers]

how come got Easy A?

i think movie lists are never exhaustive..every year there are bound to be gems yet to be discovered...either foreign films or direct-to-tv ones...

i often screen Tim Burton's classics like Beetlejuice, Ed Wood and Sleepy Hollow..then there's bless the child, prozac nation and the man who cried..three great movies i have just watched in 2010...

 

[SupaHeroLuva]

up for u TS. Good list. i agree on most of the movies u have recommended. will climb some that i have heard but not watched yet

 

[BanEle]

I just watch The Man From Earth.

A very nice story.

Great recommendation. Should not say much about the plot as it will reduce your interest.

Good list.

As someone mentioned. If have some time watch The Notebook about the elderly couple.

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (1983)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085933/

In 1942 British soldier Jack Celliers comes to a japanese prison camp. The camp is run by Yonoi, who has a firm belief in discipline, honour and glory. In his view, the allied prisoners are cowards when they chose to surrender instead of commiting suicide. One of the prisoners, interpreter John Lawrence, tries to explain the japanese way of thinking, but is considered a traitor.

A good song inspired by the movie
