Invasion of the Premise Snatchers

bujiatang:
What I love is that Michael Cain had to learn how to drive to do the original Italian Job.  He didn't have a drivers lisence. 

The ending was ambiguous which I think is a million times better than the fluffy remake where everyone ends up all happy.  What we need are some dark movies, movies where then ending is not so happy. 

Something that amuses me is that most Turkish movies end with the hero dying.

Orbert:
American movies in particular have this problem where the ending has to be all happy.  I for one can appreciate a good tragedy. Sometimes fate just smacks you one good and that's the way it goes. Or dying for your cause is what makes you a hero in the first place.

Caiphana:
haha. That's what I tell people all the time. "Don't worry, it'll end happy." "How do you know that?" "It's an American movie. It's, like, a rule."

Postino:
On the subject of movies with happy endings that really shouldn't. Who else thinks that Stranger than Fiction would have been so much better had the main character died at the end. I felt that statement would have been so much more moving than what actually happened. I mean willing to give your life for something greater than yourself.

Caiphana:
He should have died.

But I think that's the point. He was willing to give his life, and that's what really matters. She was unwilling to take it, since he was willing to give it so unselfishly.
