The Virgin Spring
The most obvious thing that comes from Bergman films is that they are going to be beautiful and they are also going to be intense. They are going to be deep and...

Re: The 19th Hall of Fame
I am going to get to Virgin Spring soon and write up a little bit about it. However, I don't plan on writing up anything else about my nom. I've written some about it in here already and responded to...

Cinema Paradiso
The main criticism that gets tossed around at this film has to do with sentimentality, but personally I'm not so cynical that I can't enjoy something this warm. Especially...

Gaslight
For a long period of time during my viewing of this film, I was seriously struggling to get through it. I wasn't sure what to make of that feeling because there was nothing technically...

Re: The 19th Hall of Fame
I'll have more thoughts later, but my initial reaction to Gaslight is that it's probably the best torture porn film I've ever seen.

Raging Bull is only technically a sports film, I suppose. It doesn't feel like any other in that the actual result of the fights are less important than what they stand for. You aren't watching to...

Return to Paradise
Vince Vaughn catches flak for not being a very good actor, and when he talks in this film, it's not great (not terrible either, more just okay at best), but I think he did a...

Re: The 19th Hall of Fame
ahwell it's pretty crazy to me that you give it the full popcorns but didn't like the boxing scenes. What about them did you not like?

Pulp Fiction
An early favorite of mine and important in the trajectory of film watching habits, Pulp Fiction will always hold a special, little place in my chubby, little heart. It's the film that...

I read through all of the write-ups for this one right after I watched it to see where I fall in with everybody else, and I think neiba and I are probably the closest on this one. This...

Open Range
Most of the dialogue in this film is either not very good or too on-the-nose. I can't necessarily put my finger on it, but it feels like people just saying words and not people...

The Godfather
The Godfather gets touted as the greatest movie of all-time a lot. I don't think that's true, and I don't think it gets close to a whole bunch of my favorite movies. That's not the...

It's fair that you want a movie to make you give a damn, I get it, I do too. I can't speak for how much Raging Bull engaged you, but personally, I was invested the whole time. As far as the montage...
