The Official Movie Thread

[Oblivious Maximus]

I always liked Sleepless too. Underrated film.

Yes, excellent film. A nice "back to his roots" giallo. I've seen it dismissed as an Argento recycling his greatest hits but it hits all the right notes. The whole stalking and murder on the The Goblin score is rocking too.

Speaking of Dario Argento, new movie starring Iggy Pop?!?

That's been in development for the better part of 4 years. I remember the crowdfunding campaign when it was first announced. There haven't been that much updates and I recall Argento said he was getting impatient waiting for things to happen with it. I'm still holding out for it. As much shit as Dario gets for his newer (well, post-Opera) work, that material is right up his alley.

Watched this over the weekend. I don't get the hype.

Keep in mind I'm not a big movie watcher either

Is there a lot of hype around it? I don't watch it all that often because it's like 4 hours long but I remember thinking it was very good.

Anyways, watching this one before bed:

JOHN WATERS on the best films of 2018

once upon a time in america is essential viewing. 10/10 movie

lol no, it's not.

The only "once upon a time" movie that's a 10/10 essential film is Once Upon a Time in the West

In America is better than In the West. Leone deserves more respect for making a film totally out of his element and it being amazing

 

[CiG]

Once Upon a Time in the West is my favourite of the two, but not by a huge margin.

 

[challenge_everything]

I love em both. Once Upon a Time in the West maybe sticks out more for me due to Morricone's score.

Ennios score is always cited as the best thing from the West. Not even Leone's best Western tbh

 

[challenge_everything]

What do you consider to be better?

Personally I think it's comfortably better than The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and the Dollars movies.

Man I really think The Good is better , what a monster of a film. I only like the first of the dollars trilogy

Ummm ... The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a part of the dollars trilogy, and it's not even the first. Am i reading your post wrong? Anyway, best movie from the dollars trilogy is indeed the first one.

Once Upon a Time in the West is one of, if not the greatest western of all time and is by far the best film from Sergio Leone. Once Upon a Time in America isn't the best anything and isn't even that good of a film tbh.

 

[CiG]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is my favourite of the Man with No Name trilogy. I like the first one a lot (prefer the sequel more though), but most times I'd rather just watch Yojimbo.

Once Upon a Time in the West is definitely one of the best westerns.

 

[RadicalThrasher]

You guys ever see The Great Silence? Pretty fucking good

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

started my yearly viewing of LotR lastnight

 

[challenge_everything]

I have The Great Silence queued for imminent viewing.

 

[rms]

Great silence has a sweet ending.

IDK why I'm thinking of a different third film in that trilogy but I am wrong. I think I'm putting duck, you sucker there .
