@TechnicalBarbarity what did you think of Raising Arizona btw?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

ive seen it before and remember really liking it, didn't get a chance to watch it again earlier though. My aunt and her kids stopped by right when i popped it in.

 

[CiG]

Sheeet.

NW:



One I completely forgot to rewatch for the '88 round, might have made the cut too.

Edit: Cool film but the poster is such misleading bullshit, Bronson is a journalist investigating a blood feud between two Mormon families, he doesn't shoot a single person iirc. I thought I'd seen this before, but none of it seemed familiar to me.

Time to watch my favourite 4th tier action movie.

 

[challenge_everything]

That quote on the cover is so random. "Old school crime pic"? Hardly. "Not for the squeamish" makes it sound like it's a blood and guts movie when it's anything but.

 

[Slammed]

Squeamish isn't just about blood and guts though, it's about being uncomfortable, disgusted, sick, or anything of the like. Squeamish could apply to a movie about altar boys and priests as much as it could about a horror movie.

 

[challenge_everything]

I accept that, but having seen the movie I still don't there's much that would bother a squeamish person. It's just a strange choice of words to sell a movie that I would describe more as 'brooding'.

 

[CiG]

Yeah I agree, so far this definitely isn't a detective film on the more squeamish side of things, like Se7en for example. This is definitely more brooding.

 

[CiG]

Watching this one tonight. It's been a De Palma week for me I guess...
