Re: Famous Movies You Haven’t Seen
The Rules of the Game has never done anything for me. In general, though, I have a hard time with the whole “comedy of manners” thing. There are some rare exceptions, but yeah.

I’ve also never seen a single Woody Allen movie.

To be totally clear, Raging Bull is also overrated. But still see it because it has a lot to offer.wease wrote:I’ve also never seen a single Woody Allen movie.

Re: Famous Movies You Haven’t Seen
Other than Ben-Hur, I find none of those movies exciting at all. Woody Allen has made many great films, though.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: Famous Movies You Haven’t Seen
It's no El Cid, but Ben Hur is a fantastic film. I'd highly recommend it. Those old epics are vastly underrated cinematic experiences.tragabigzanda wrote:agree with all this except i'd skip Ben Hurdurdencommatyler wrote:You NEED to see Taxi Driver, Psycho, Casablanca an Ben Hur.

I totally get why you wouldn't dig Casablanca. But Psycho and Taxi Driver? Those seem like movies you'd really dig.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Other than Ben-Hur, I find none of those movies exciting at all. Woody Allen has made many great films, though.

Re: Famous Movies You Haven’t Seen
I would say Psycho is straight-up bad. I’ve said as much before, but I really only like a handful of Hitchcock movies, and none of them are his “serious” fare.durdencommatyler wrote:I totally get why you wouldn't dig Casablanca.

TD is due for a rewatch.

It’s well down by Mann list, honestly.
