Movie Favs

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The Railway Man with Colin Firth a true story that is set around Kanchanaburi,Thailand in the Second World War and the construction of the Death Railway.

The Japanese star Hiroyuki Sanada gives an incredible performance but is predictably ignored,even in the cast listings for not looking Hollywood enough if you know what I mean?

I haven't seen Straight time. Thanks, will check it out.
I loved Theresa Russell ever since Black Widow
Wild things was a great cynical comedy with her in it.
Wild tales, an argentinian black comedy, an all time favorite of mine.

And on top of the list: Last year at Marienbad. But it's not really a movie.

Gary Busey as second star was almost as good as Hoffman ... these late 60s' early 70s' movies were the best IMHO ... sad note ... there is a viral vid of Busey talking about some weird sausage ... super sad how he ended up.

At least he's still alive, i hope.

William Holden died in a way nobody wants to die.
Without dignity. But what does it really matter?

Horrible story.
Holden bled to death in his apartment in Santa Monica, California, on November 12, 1981, after lacerating his forehead from slipping on a rug while intoxicated and hitting a bedside table. Forensic evidence recovered at the scene suggested that he was conscious for at least half an hour after the fall. His body was found four days later.
Loved his work.
