Love that one :) I don’t think there’s any song that could be picked from one of his movies that I wouldn’t like. He’s a creepy dude IMO , but his movies and taste in music on point.
I remembered "Pulp Fiction" but I've not seen many of the movies he's directed. I had to look his movies up. I saw some other movies that he wrote screenplays for and the stories for, too. Dark stuff for sure. :)
They might not be to you’re liking. I was thinking when I got notification that you posted on this question hope you didn’t watch the video I added with the question :) I remember you don’t like violent things.:)
I have enjoyed such movies in the past, don't deal so well lately with them, for sure.
I highly recommend this movie - - director Michael Haneke's original 1997 "Funny Games." (not his own American remake; I've not seen the remake and have no desire since the original is perfect to me.)
I enjoy watching subtitled movies; I much prefer that over dubbed films.Anyway, this is a German / Austrian film. And I don't speak those languages but I wanted to hear the actual cast's voices.
Haneke does not believe violence should be entertaining, as in many blockbuster-type movies. And he makes a very disturbing violent film that literally shows no gore nor over-the-top violence. From what I've read, Haneke wanted to make a violent film that makes the audience uncomfortable. He certainly succeeded with me. (After I recommended it, some of my friends had no problem watching this; but, for me, no movie has disturbed me more than this one.)
Oh - - and I think this movie is a masterpiece of film making. :) It does things I've seen no other movie do.
I've become quite a fan of Haneke's movies. Because of this movie, I watched a whole lot of his stuff. Every one of them is superb to me. :)
That's actor Arno Frisch in the poster.

Yes, ha!! Twisted! :) I love the original 1997 version.
I've not seen the remake. A close friend of mine has seen both and he says, and I've read, that it's basically a shot-for-shot remake, just with an English-speaking cast. That's not enough for me to watch it, ha. The original is all I've seen and I don't want it ruined by watching the remake, even though I like the cast who is in the remake. The original 1997 movie is perfect for me. :)
Ohhh that’s a good one, I did rewatch Jackie Brown recently. I’m all about the Tarantino movies right now. It’s been long enough since I originally watched most of them so I’m rewatch mode lately. There‘s no new movies that interest me lately.
I still have to catch up on a couple of his that I missed. I have Django Unchained that I've never watched and I haven't seen his newest one yet either. Have you watched Hateful Eight? I loved loved that movie.
No I haven’t seen the hateful eight yet. You have to watch Dijango unchained. I put that one off Cos I wasn’t sure I would like it but it’s soooo good. A bit different from his usual stuff, but really good.
Hateful Eight is almost like a violent version of the movie Clue set in a wild west tavern. I'll dig Django back out of my blu-rays and set it out until I finally get around to watching it.
