Wikipedia Article of the movie.

This movie is chock full of excellent acting, witty dialog, and superb cinematography. It touches on so many aspects of history around the worker movement of the 1910's, including the IWW, famous Anarchists, and the troubles it faced.

It's quite unique in that it includes interviews with surviving people who knew John Reed and Louise interspersed with different parts of the movie, making it almost like a docu-drama, but with an incredibly high 32 million dollar budget (equivalent to 112 million today).

If you have any interest in unions, the early socialist movement in the United states, and a particularly well done romance, then I highly, highly recommend giving this a watch.

But be sure to have a good chunk of time to set aside, as the movie is 3 hours long!

EDIT: Hah, forgot I posted this here a year ago. Well, hopefully some new members will be able to see it ^^

Wiki Article of the film.

As someone who wasn't particularly a fan of westerns, I specifically sought this movie out a few years ago after reading an old western from a now forgotten series, Fargo. I was blown away by how good it was, and discovered that this film, and specifically Lee Marvin's character, basically rips off the Fargo series wholesale. So I figured, eh, let's have a go, then.

When the movie was over, I was absolutely floored with how good it was, and how well it captured the vibe of the Fargo book, like seeing everything that was in my head pop out onto the screen.

This movie is quite different compared to most westerns of its era, feeling more a like a modern rendition than one from 1966. The pacing is excellent, the actors and acting superb, and the action and story are extremely well done, with very little suspension of disbelief needed.

I would rate this quite highly in my personal top 10 movies, right up there with 3 Days of The Condor and Where Eagles Dare.

Per the description:

My goal is to shorten the episodes; cut out bad dialogue, weird transitions, and overall make it feel more like an Indiana Jones film. This inclues adding a bit of John Williams' magical score.

Young Indiana Jones originaly included old Indy bookends with George Hall, as well as the story being told through two to three episodes. I believe that only using the teenage Indy segments of the show will help make it feel more cohesive as well as keeping it closer to what the character does in the main films (e.g. being smart, reckless, quick on his feet, etc.).

I'm not super familiar with the originals, but I recall renting a couple episodes back in the day and thinking they were pretty awful. This re-edit seems to do a pretty good job of making it more watchable.

24 Hour Party People is a 2002 British biographical comedy drama film about Manchester's popular music community from 1976 to 1992, and specifically about Factory Records. It was written by Frank Cottrell Boyce and directed by Michael Winterbottom. The film was entered into the 2002 Cannes Film Festival[3] to positive reviews.

It begins with the punk rock era of the late 1970s and moves through the 1980s into the rave and DJ culture and the "Madchester" scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The main character is Tony Wilson (played by Steve Coogan), a news reporter for Granada Television and the head of Factory Records. The narrative largely follows his career, while also covering the careers of the major Factory artists, especially Joy Division and New Order, A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column and Happy Mondays.[4]

The drama is centered on two of the leading players and their respective companies in the home computer market of the late 1970s and early 1980s focusing on the race to win a grant from the BBC to become the provider of a home computer for the BBC's programming for schools. Certain parts of the drama are based on historical fact while others are a dramatization.

The main characters are ZX Spectrum creator Clive Sinclair and BBC Micro creators Chris Curry, Sophie Wilson, Steve Furber and Hermann Hauser. The real-life Wilson also makes a brief cameo as a barmaid.

Martin Freeman does a great job as Chris Curry, and Alexander Armstrong seems to do a quite good impression of Sinclair.

Overall a great little movie for retro computer fans! Well produced and well paced, feels slightly reminiscent of Halt and Catch Fire.
