What's a film you really like, made by a great talent, that no one much respects or even discusses.
She's Having A Baby from John Hughes. I actually find it quite touching and often amusing, even if its last third goes really predictable and obvious.

Not that it is hated or anything, but when everyone talks of The Cornetto Trilogy, The World’s end seems to get the short stick. Love it, the most emotionally affecting movie and he switch between Pegg and Frost’s in the character department is really quite good.

I also do have a strong soft spot for Spielberg's Hook.
Bangarang!

Castellan
There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Kenneth Branagh's Dead Again. I loved how he did a noir reincarnation thriller off the back of Henry V when the "wisdom" dictated that something epic and historical would have been more sensible. And it's a great film.

Why y'all sleep on Coppola's Dracula? It's easily the best film adaptation of the story and aside from Keanu's terrible accent, it's a great film.

I really like 1941. There, I said it! I loved 1941 as a kid and I still think there are thing to cherish in it. Robert Stack watching Dumbo. Putting Toshiro Mifune, Slim Pickens & Christopher Lee in the same frame. Warren Oates. John Candy. Joe Flaherty. One of John Williams' best scores and of course, the most John Belushi John Belushi character anywhere. Yet, that subplot with Tim Matheson & Nancy Allen is really tough to watch today. Anyway, lots of affection for that movie. |

I feel pretty strongly that Jackie Brown is Quentin Tarantino's best movie. If we talk David Lynch, I'm all about The Straight Story.

Anyway, lots of affection for that movie. I do think 1941 is an underrated gem. There's a lot of really funny stuff in there. I agree about the Tim Matheson/Nancy Allen plot. There are a lot of old movies that I love which have bits that do make me wince these days. Some of them aren't that old either. It's just something I have to accept, I suppose. Social change is good and an occasional wince at a favourite movie is certainly a price worth paying. But as for 1941... it makes me laugh. That's all I can ask of a comedy. |
