Re: For which years have you seen every Best Picture Nominee?
An instructive thread would be where we list all our tier 10 movies (which is what Hollywood should do instead of just a set number) with asterisks by those that were nominated, along with a list of those nominated that weren't in our tier 10. But it would be labor intensive for doing more than a fe...

Re: Best dialogue-driven film you've seen?
Heaven forbid that someone should not be serious around here... Ironic humor is one thing, 2nd grade sarcasm is another. I was being deadly serious. The Day The Earth Caught Fire is an underseen classic, maybe because it's British, and Sweet Smell of Success is well-known for its dialogue which sti...

Rex Reed's Second Wind?
Rex Reed is old enough to have lived through the original Titanic, but he seems to have gotten a second wind lately. First, he righteously held up Mother as the worst movie of the century. And now he's correctly labeled the Oscar nominated flick, The Shape of Water , a "Loopy, Lunkheaded Load o...

Re: Movie Endings
I'm stoked to see Streets of Fire on there. I think it's an under-seen gem.even by cult standards. It might be a bit of a meandering, wandering thing through it's middle but the start and end are so great and it's unique style so spectacular I have to love it. Yeah, the acting's a little weak, but ...

Re: Best dialogue-driven film you've seen?
Back in the day, I convinced myself that Wild Strawberries and T he Seventh Seal were really good. (The SS did have one good irreverent scene about the Last Supper but it only lasted 10 seconds.) They were b&w and were made in a European language with subtitles, WTF? Then there was all the faux ...

Movie Endings
Movie endings, they all have them, even though we wish some never ended and others never started. I'm not looking for sad or happy endings, after all either can be tearful so there must be something else going on, and that necessity is satisfaction. If they're not satisfying they're necessarily some...

Re: Best dialogue-driven film you've seen?
stew's thread has much of the usual suspects Yeah but I watch everything...that doesn't have subtitles. And have you seen any of those recent titles I put up. On second thought, our tastes never have matched up well, my fault I'm sure. And at the risk of getting really pedestrian, check out the dia...
