La La Land. Absolute ****e from beginning to end. Cannot understand how it got any awards. The worst of US film making.
Well one guy in the audience kept laughing---I kid you not.Being as it was made 96 years ago, a silent film and in black and white of course The General is outdated by today’s standards. Btw, it’s not meant to be a rip-roaring comedy….or did you not realise….
We had better agree that we have a difference of opinion.Sorry how on earth you can say The Last Picture Show is " boring" I really don't know.One thing I would perhaps agree with you about is that a lot depends on your age when you first saw the film (although you don't actually mention this).I first saw TLPS when in first came out (in 1973 IRRC) -I've seen it many times since on DVD..Back in 73 I was a student so not much older than many of the film's young cast.The book on which it's based by Larry Mcmurtry is also gives an excellent coming of age description of young kids in a small Texas town.Also who can forget Sam the Lion?
Or Statham and his attempts at an American accentDriving Miss Daisy….dire
Forrest Gump…….much preferred the (earlier) Being There with Peter Sellers
Anything with Steven Seagal or J-C Van Damme…..
That certainly but just as everyone could make their own list a la Woody Allen of things worth living forWe had better agree that we have a difference of opinion.
Generally I'm not much of a fan of silent movies including Keaton's & Chaplin 's but I recognise that times have moved on since they were made.Well one guy in the audience kept laughing---I kid you not.
It was painful to hear him.
I have no idea why I did not leave!
Especially when a great true story like Hacksaw Ridge should’ve got the awards it got.La La Land. Absolute ****e from beginning to end. Cannot understand how it got any awards. The worst of US film making.
What ****er said that?Withnail and I.
Not helped by having to suffer Richard E Grant.
"Les Diabolique" is totally amazing---Hitchcock missed out on this film by 30 minutes.Generally I'm not much of a fan of silent movies including Keaton's & Chaplin 's but I recognise that times have moved on since they were made.
Edit:Are there any silent or foreign fìlms that you actually like?
On the contrary it's a wonderful film which I still watch fairly regularly on DVD.When It first came out here in Barna I saw a couple of colleagues in the queue for the next session .One of them a Sherman was the only person I've come across (until you) who didn't like the film.At the time I put it down to her nationality .Now I'm not so sure.Withnail and I.

But we all have differences of opinion...........Just look at what the film lecturers love....German expressionism films.......No thank you I say!!!!!!!

You do fit my profile as fan of that film....How many times they have watched it can tell a lot. Don't worry other films also tell a story about different groupsOn the contrary it's a wonderful film which I still watch fairly regularly on DVD.When It first came out here in Barna I saw a couple of colleagues in the queue for the next session .One of them a Sherman was the only person I've come across (until you) who didn't like the film.At the time I put it down to her nationality .Now I'm not so sure.
As Chuck Berry once sang "You Never Can Tell"You do fit my profile as fan of that film....How many times they have watched it can tell a lot. Don't worry other films also tell a story about different groups
I doubt you spend much time with those that switched it off half way through their first watch.
1.There used to be a cult for quoting lines from the film.Never been part of a group like that..Seen the same thing with Pulp Fiction.Thought that was rather sad too.1.You do fit my profile as fan of that film....How many times they have watched it can tell a lot.
