What are your favourite films and why do you like them ?
Let's talk about that, shall we ? :D
Dead Poets Society!!!
Simply because it is just so... true! Keating's conception of literature is mine! (and perhaps that's why I like Joyce... ;) ). At the beginning I always laugh at the headmaster's speech because on my first day on my own "prépas", our headmaster tells us exactly the same thing... so a posteriori it is very funny!
And both tragedy and comedy are mixed: it confers it a very kind of magnificience.
Moreover Robert Sean Leonard is very gorgeous! :P
And of course, The wind that shakes the barley, needless to say why; it is so wonderful that nothing can explain it! You feel it, you can't talk about it.
(sorry my sentences don't make sense today, but I've just switched from Ancient Greek to Eglish so it is the mess in my head! :P I am even not able to speak in French... perhaps I should shut up... :-X )
Dead poet's society is a wonderful film indeed, I watch it from time to time, and the film's conception of literature that is also your is also mine ! I see now, why you like House so much. Because of House, but also because R.S. Leonard is in it. ;D
I've never heard of The wind that shakes the barley. It's been named after a famous poem. I'm very curious about that, I look forward to watching it.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions Caiomhe !

In French they call it Le vent se lève :)
Incognito :D because it's funny!! and Dead poets society!! I cried a lot in front of this movie and "la Bamba"too
Lovely shamrock ! Is that your blog ? It's a really nice blog, and there's even the recipe of shortbreads. I love shortbreads. But aren't they Scottish ? :D
Mamour, thanks ! I've never heard of both films, I'm definitely going to watch them when I find them.
Alright, my favourite film ever is a very well-known but still... It's Modern Times by Charles Chaplin. I love it ! Recently, I watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and found it awesome. When I don't know what to watch, I really appreciate a film with Keanu Reeves in it, because I think he's the worst actor ever (no facial expression whatsoever, a monotonous voice, this guy's a robot). It makes me laugh so much. ;D ;D ;D
Keanu Reeves is a great actor!!!! La Bamba is a movie about Richie Valens' life with Lou Diamond Phillips!

Yes Lovely is my little baby! lol It is a bit heteroclite but... perhaps I am. ;)
And I love shortbreads too! But don't worry, there it is an Irish recipe :P
I think being heteroclite is good ! Did you try carrot cake. I'm addicted to carrot cake, shortbread, muffins, and oh my god cheesecake. :o Some of these recipes are American of course ! ;D
CitationKeanu Reeves is a great actor!!!! La Bamba is a movie about Richie Valens' life with Lou Diamond Phillips!
I didn't know who Richie Valens was. He was only 17 when he died, and Buddy Holly died in the same accident. Do you know that song that Madonna covered that's called "American Pie" ? She didn't write it, I don't remember who did I'm sorry, but I know that this song is a tribute to Buddy Holly and to those who died in this accident, I guess. The line "the day the music died" refers to that accident, because the victims were important musicians.
And what about James Bond?!!! I Love Him!!!!!
Pierce Brosnan <3 <3 <3 ::)
When I was a kid, I used to watch reruns of a TV series featuring Pierce Brosnan : Remington Steele (not sure about the spelling). Have you heard about it ?
Not at all. What is it about?
I found it quite funny back in the days. The main character is a private detective, a woman. In order to protect herself I guess, she lied and pretented to be merely the assistant of a man (Remington Steele), and she says he's her boss. He doesn't exist. One day however, a man pretends to be Steele for some reason (it's Pierce Brosnan), and then he stays with that woman and the do detective stuff like catch criminals and so on. The thing is, I don't know if it's still watchable you know. It's getting old (25 years old or so). I think P. Brosnan is even better in this series than in the Bond films ! ;)

Yes, they're both really good too ! Funny though, how Sean Connery tried to use his celebrity to promote the independance of Scotland from England. That's why he had to wait all these years for the Queen to award him knighthood. Sir Connery.

Oh my god, I've never seen any movie with Adjani in it ! :-[ That's too bad.
Oh yes, Almodovar is really great.
I saw "La journée de la jupe" with Adjani and I really loved it malgré que (In english?) I don't like the "subject" (problème de banlieues etc...)
It is the lonely movie with Adjani that I seen.
malgré que: in spite of the fact that, despite the fact that, although
Sinon quand tu es coincé tu peux essayer de le dire autrement. Par exemple si on reprend mot pour mot ta phrase:
Even if I don't like the "subject" (main theme), I really loved it.
Ou bien
In spite of the theme, I really loved it.
;)
Thank you for your advices.
U're W! :D
Maybe have you seen Subway with her and Christophe lambert the song is beautiful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvRrEzlfTWk&feature=related or La giffle with Lino Ventura ? :-\
I don't remember anything about Subway (I must see it again ^^ ), but the ending song from Leon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5oz19m7EI0) is beautiful too. :'(
I advise you to watch the new Pixar movie, Up ! It's a beautiful story for kids or bigger ! It will come out last week in France. I have seen it one month ago in US, Brandford CT exactly.
Pixar always does such beautiful movies. :-*
I'll see it! 8)
i recommend the last harry potter ;) it kills everything
I saw it and it's great!! and Ice age 3 too

Merci pour ces explications Caiomhe mais si je puis me permettre "malgré que " ne se dit pas ou alors utilisé avec le verbe avoir et au subjonctif!!!!
- malgré qu'il en ait mangé ,le plat était froid..... :)
Me, I think that "The Green Mile" with Tom Hanks is perfect!!
1- It's a very beautiful film!!
2- We can learn lots of words!!!
3- Everybody goes to hate Percy, an antipatic person, and love John Koffee (you must be sad in the end)!!!!
Have a watching of this!! ;-) Bye!!
Hunger's very good film! I've just seen it
Maxime, Sean better? Arrrrgggghhhh!!!! :-X

Merci mamour pour cette info! C'est gentil mais don't worry je sais: je fais des études de lettres et puis c'est tout de même un grand classique. C'est juste que Maxime avait écrit "I really loved it
malgré que I don't like..." donc j'ai repris le "malgré que" voilà tout! ;) C'est ce qu'on appelle communément une présentation "entrée de dictionnaire"
Mais merci pour l'attention que tu portes à la langue de Molière, il est agréable de constater que certaines personnes s'en soucie encore!
tellement de gens font cette erreur ds mon entourage surtout au travail que je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher!!! bravo pour tes études!!j'espère que tu iras loin!!!c'est bien d'étudier l'anglais mais le français est compliqué aussi!!! ;)
Tu fais des études de Lettres Classiques ou Modernes ? Mon petit doigt me dit que tu fais des Lettres Classiques...
Pour ma part, j'ai fait des études de Lettres Modernes. ;)
Arf oui Classique... malin ton petit doigt ;) Ca se voit tant que ça? :P XD

Oui ! ;D
XD je suis donc la seule à ne pas m'en rendre compte...
Bon je retourne à Antoine Compagnon (qui doit te dire quelque chose...) ;)
bonjour suis noveau sur ce site pouvez me dire comment ca marche svp
Bonjour Morocco,
bienvenue sur ce forum ;)
Ici, tu as l'occasion de parler anglais et de poser des questions sur la grammaire ou le vocabulaire, et tout ce qui a un rapport avec la langue. Tu peux explorer le forum et tu verras qu'il y a beaucoup de discussions sur beaucoup de sujets. Tu peux répondre aux autres personnes en français ou en anglais.
Et Caiomhe, oui je connais A. Compagnon. J'ai lu son livre sur la théorie (j'aime bien la théorie ;D, même si des fois ça me laisse perplexe ???).
I've recently seen The Brave, by Johnny Depp : very good film, but I :'( a lot!! ^^
