Have you seen the 2024 French version?

Watched it last week and it's the best adaptation I've seen so far.

It always bothered me that Edmond ends up with Mercedes at the end of the 2002 one, altough that's not the case in the book.

Do give it a watch if you can!

Bet they must have a version with the English subtitles but I'm not sure if they're showing it in theatres internationally.
Whoa, thanks for this! The 2002 version was also one of my favorites as a kid.

Heat has been recommended a lot. I noticed he uses Chase's technique to get her out of auto rejection ("I didn't mean to make you feel like that" non apology). And of course the ability to walk away.

I have not watched a movie for about a year except for part of 9 1/2 weeks with a girl.


On my list though:
(1980) Dressed to Kill
(1981) Body Heat
(2004) Troy
(2005) Hustle & Flow

Guys watch Le Comte de Monte Cristo (2024).

I hear they will release it internationally soon, given its success.

There's nothing quite like it.

No woke bullshit.

Dantes is a fucking badass and doesn't even reconcile with the previous chick.

I fucking love this movie.

Apparently Dec 20 for US theaters https://variety.com/2024/film/news/...december-release-france-shortlist-1236112656/

I read Oct 30 for blu ray in France, so hopefully it will be able to be found subtitled online at that point
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

Nice, I'll sure watch it, thx!

2 samurai movies that came well recommended:
- The Hidden Blade (2004)
- The Twilight Samurai (2002)

Both from the same director, Yoji Yamada, and with the same central theme: honor and duty during the twilight of the Samurai Era.
