i’m not french

 

I honestly thought it was a universally loved movie

 

You’re what the French call "Les Incompétents."

 

thanks

 

It’s a perfectly cromulent movie

 

I've never seen it but this controversy makes me want to.

 

Blue Velvet wins it with 20 votes. Aliens was in second place with 7 votes. Blue Velvet will move on to the bracket.

 

Same haha. I've always heard that one was lesser Scorsese

 

I haven’t seen The Colour of Money in a long time, but I remember Newman and Cruise being great in it, Newman in particular. Excellent last scene too.

It doesn’t really feel like a Scorsese film for me though, reminds me a bit of his earlier work when he was a director for hire, as opposed to making “his” films.

I don’t think there’s any controversy about it - it’s not a bad film at all, just not usually put up in the upper echelon of his work, but it’s perfectly solid.

 

there’s no controversy, @Morrissey just likes to tease me bc it’s my favorite Scorsese

 

Late, but here are my picks:

1. Aliens
2. Castle in the Sky
3. Stand By Me

 

Something Wild rules

 

I am now watching The Color of Money

 

Some people call it the best Scorsese film.

 

It was good

 

blue valentine for the first time, don't yell and scream and whine at me tetra

 

You mean blue velvet?

 

Blue Valentine is bad. Blue Velvet is good.

 

I am very happy my review of Mulholland Dr. when I was 19 years old is gone from the world. I thought it was so awful and nonsensical at the time.

 

I hope he actually is watching Blue Valentine and stroking his chin like “hmm yes this very Lynchian indeed”

 

Looking back on these posts I had never heard anyone praise Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 outside of this thread. I didn't even know there was a direct sequel; it seems like they just remake the first one every few years.

 

It’s a masterpiece

 

i did mean blue velvet. my bad but i did not come into the 1986 in film thread to post about a movie with ryan gosling.

in any case. fuck. that was incredible. i liked eraserhead a lot and thought elephant man and dune would mostly fine to bad. but this was probably the most effective/moving film I've seen for the first time in a long time.
