Underrated Classic Films

[littlebabyjesus]

naah, its good, but their are much better heist movies about.

Such as this.

 

[kabbes]

I really can't see much wrong with 12 monkeys at all - brilliant performances all round, loads of intrigue and it's beautifully shot

Some people just didn't understand it.

 

[stupid dogbot]

I own Sneakers on DVD.

 

[kabbes]

Such as this.

Grrrrrr. I want to dispute you but I can't because I haven't seen it.

 

[Griff]

Until the End of the World

 

[kabbes]

I own Sneakers on DVD.

You are in the club. Nobody else is. Just me and you, dogbot.

 

[100% masahiko]

Everybody should watch it at least once per year.

No people should watch The Stuff at least 4 times a year.



I love this movie.

 

[kyser_soze]

Oh, and I say 12 monkeys. Great film, never hear anyone talk about it as such.

that's cos it's shit

IMV?
boring? it's one of the sparest vampire movies made - not a second wasted!

IMV=in my view

And your taste is serioulsy suspect if you think Near Dark is good, and 12 Monkeys shite.

 

[belboid]

Noooooooooooooooooooo!


Genuinely, no.

Heist, Rififi, Asphalt Jungle, Lavendar Hill Mob, Reservoir Dogs, Italian Job. Just off the top of me head like.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Until the End of the World

erghhh. Horrible mess of a film.

 

[kabbes]

Hahahahaa The Stuff.

I had a review copy of that in the 80s because my Aunt used to write for Time Out. That was AWESOMELY bad. In a grrrrreat way.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Until the End of the World

And that one - looooooong, but beautiful to watch, and I really, really was rooting for him getting back with the pictures.

 

[belboid]

Such as this.

fucking A choice

 

[kabbes]

Heist, Rififi, Asphalt Jungle, Lavendar Hill Mob, Reservoir Dogs, Italian Job. Just off the top of me head like.

They're good films alright. But they're no Sneakers.

Now leave me with my delusions.

 

[Orang Utan]

Such as this.

that's fucking brilliant - another film quentin tarantino pays homage to/steals from in reservoir dogs

 

[butchersapron]

Vampire's Kiss - Nick Cage's most unhinged performance from when he was good.

 

[kyser_soze]

Such as this.

*nods sagely*

Yup, excellent film.

 

[Orang Utan]

IMV=in my view

And your taste is serioulsy suspect if you think Near Dark is good, and 12 Monkeys shite.

IMV is rather a redundant phrase - who else's view would it be?

 

[kabbes]

The view of Melanie Sykes?

 

[Sadken]

You are in the club. Nobody else is. Just me and you, dogbot.

Hey hey hey now, I bloody quote a whole passage of dialogue to this day - 17 years after it fackin came out! AND I went to see it at the cinema at just 12 years old!

 

[kabbes]

OK, but you have to promise to buy the DVD by Christmas 2019.

 

[Sadken]

OK, but you have to promise to buy the DVD by Christmas 2019.

I've already set aside four tins of kidney beans, which I expect to be legal tender by that stage. What little there is left of the law, in any event.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

My favourite moment from The Killing is when one of the gang has to treat the parking attendant meanly to get him to go away. The crestfallen look on the attendant's face and resigned 'yessir' is beautifully judged.

Who says Kubrick had no sensitivity?

 

[belboid]

IMV is rather a redundant phrase - who else's view would it be?

if any statement of mine is NOT preceded by imv, or imo - then it is a statement of absolute fact. And you'd better bloody well treat it as such!

 

[kabbes]

I'm struggling to think of other films that I rate that the rest of the world doesn't, I have to admit.

 

[Orang Utan]

if any statement of mine is NOT preceded by imv, or imo - then it is a statement of absolute fact. And you'd better bloody well treat it as such!

that's why i never use imo - i believe my 'opinions' are fact.

 

[Sadken]

Dunno about "classic", but I always thought Very Bad Things was a highly underrated comedy with a heart of pure darkness and great performance by Christian Slater.

 

[kabbes]

Is that the one where he accidentally kills a prostitute at the start?

That was pure evil.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Watership Down
A fully thought-through rabbit creation myth. Brilliant.


The Trial
It's a bit of a mess, but a brilliant one.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Near Dark:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093605/

best vampire film ever - just about to introduce it to some friends - i hope they share my admiration.

Hummm, it's ok. Was pretty good for the time (and somehow missed by almost everyone at the time) but the end is soooo lame it destroys the whole film. Could have been great.
