It’s the Coens

 

The Safdie brothers are starting to threaten the list as well.

 

I need friends like the safdies. Goddamn I could listen to them talk about movies forever.

 

I am starting The Good, The Bad and The Ugly for the first time

 

A Christmas classic.

 

This is raising my blood pressure.

 

Is it bad?

 

No it is one of the classics. The Mexican standoff is so audacious.

I just wonder why it took you so long. What is next? Citizen Kane? The Godfather? Psycho?

 

havent seen any of these lol

 

Also have never seen Psycho. Hitchcock is a big blind spot for me

 

Teach it. Seen it. Teach it

 

I bought the Trilogy set maybe 10 years ago and half watched the first as an immature idiot. It was fine but I was not immediately blown away, so for whatever reason I put off this one. I realized I probably don’t need to see the first two in order to appreciate this

 

I was blown away by the Good the Bad and the Ugly when I first saw it. That and Citizen Kane were maybe the first two most powerful canon films that I knew everyone said were brilliant but I hadn't seen and when I saw them I was like "yeah I absolutely get it".

 

Watched Citizen Kane when I was younger and thought it was cool but wasn’t blown away or anything. Just rewatched it a couple months ago and was like yeah this is clearly one of the best

 

Back in the days of Neftlix-by-mail, they had a personalized ranking of the most recommended movies. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly was a perfect 5 star predicted recommendation for me. It was not wrong.

Citizen Kane took more time to appreciate.

 

Breathless hit me very hard on first watch

 

the good the bad the ugly might be the best film ever made

 

How have you not seen The Godfather?

 

just haven’t prioritized it, but I’ll get there

 

I’ve never even heard of it. Sounds dope!

 

Of those 3, I’ve only seen Psycho

 

It was fantastic, broke my heart

 

I've been taught a lot of Hitchcock but never actually seen any of his non-TV work all the way through.

 

I own Vertigo on DVD but I have never seen it
