Isabelle Adjani looks stunning in 'Subway'
The film starts off well, but kind of fizzles out by the end! Agree that 'Leon' and 'Nikita' are both excellent. Love Jean Reno in Nikita, think thats where Besson got the idea for 'Leon'
Has anyone seen Bessons debut movie 'Le Dernier Combat' (1983) ? well worth checking out!
No I haven't and I forgot all about its existence, since I thought Subway was his first film... whoops.
Easily done mate. Kinda overlooked, its unusual, but worth a look! And Jean Reno is in it too!
Just noticed it's already on my watchlist. Guess I forgot about it, but will watch it at a certain point for sure. Thanks!

Gosh what a gorgeous poster.
The only Universal monster, of the eight that are usually put together, that gets a film in colour and also the only one that doesn't quite feel like a horror film.
Beautiful sets and superb cinematography aside, I thought there was just a bit too much high-pitched opera stuff going on while I came for the Phantom doing some proper phantoming.
Definitely my bottom spot from the Universal monster collection.
Jack Nicholson has never been better. The acting is top notch all around.
Louise Fletcher gives us one of cinema's greatest villains. What makes her acting great (for me, at least) is how lifeless her eyes look more often than not. It shows us how much she takes advantage of her power: her eyes have a hard look. I know that Louise Fletcher wasn't a mean lady in real life, but her eyes in this movie have a cold hard stare that not many can pull off so well.
Brad Dourif gets his career off to a great start, and shows range that he wouldn't as well known for later on. Lots of great character actors get an early start in their careers here (Danny Devito, Christopher Lloyd, in his first movie role, and our own man Vincent Schiavelli, who probably has more screen time, yet less lines than in TND, just to name a few).
For a movie that could easily seem boring, it's not. The acting truly helps the movie move forward at a fair pace. The screenplay and direction mix well in this regard, making the movie feel flawless. The plot twist with a certain character may have upset the author, and I understand his feelings. However, it worked for the movie.
It was a nice father-son movie for my dad and me. He got to watch it in a college psychological class, and he and his classmates laughed more than once. In the present, we laughed at certain moments as well. While mainly a drama, there is some dark humor spread around. That's one of the things that makes this so great. If Michael Douglas hadn't become a great actor, he truly could have been a great producer as well, and this proves it. The Oscars were right with this one that year, and it was a tough year for all (Jaws, Dog Day Afternoon, Barry Lyndon, just to name a few) but I'm glad that this came ahead of them all with the Oscar wins. So all in all, if you haven't watched One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest in 5 years or more, I'd recommend a re-watch. It proves with a bit of encouragement from others, you can find potential in yourself that you never knew you had.

A good finale for sure, but it feels like one big 2-hour scene. Which it isn't it, though we're not far off either.
Always nice to see Ciáran Hinds in anything, and the Snape flashback is suitably moving.
Not very happy with all the choices here though.
The epilogue is all sorts of awkward too.
I'd say certainly an adequate finale, though as a standalone film I wouldn't rank it anywhere near the top of the series.
One of Scorsese's best ?
What's his best ?
