Best wishes @George_Kaplan, whatever is causing your leave, and I hope we see you again when conditions allow :)
-
Recently checked out Scarface (1932) and The Roaring Twenties (1939). Honestly, they hit just as hard as more modern gangster films, still packed with great storytelling and violence - just not as explicit as later movies. I love good gangster movie…

Almost a whole year since my last update unfortunately, but here I am having finished up YOLT today. I read the first half of the novel earlier in the year, but got sidetracked with many other things, then finally picked it up again recently to fini…

I just realized I'm about to go two full calendar years without watching a Bond film. Never thought I'd go this long since becoming a fan, haha. It's not even from lack of wanting to, I've just been doing so much other stuff. New 4K releases would b…

I hope you enjoy @chrisisall! Let us know what you think when you get the chance, and hopefully we didn’t overhype it for your tastes!

@GoldenGun My list has also been sent!
-
The Shining has always been my favorite, and I think as of this moment, my Top 5 including that would be Dr. Strangelove, Barry Lyndon, Paths of Glory, and Eyes Wide Shut. A Clockwork Orange and 2001 are constant threats for the Top 5, too, though. …

Eyes Wide Shut is so awesome, and it only gets better every time I see it. I watched it around last Christmas, seen it probably 7 or 8 times by now. It’s another one I love to watch late at night. The explorations of both the difficulties of marriag…

1980s neon-soaked greatness for me tonight: After Hours (1985) - A funny favorite I've seen several times now, one of my absolute top Scorsese features. I'm a sucker for the trope of the boring everyman being inserted into wild situations and set…

I think GE is more iconic and stronger in key areas - namely villains and story - but I do enjoy TND a lot still. I think both are way, way ahead of TWINE and DAD. The news angle of TND, and refreshing focus on action and getting from A to B over pe…

All of Us Strangers (2023). I cried - a lot. It was one of those movies where not many of the circumstances or characters were really directly relatable for me, and yet I still felt so deeply impacted by everything. It was a simple but excellent sto…

I hate that this was canceled.
-
The Last Picture Show (1971). I had seen this one a long time ago and wanted to give it another shot, definitely enjoyed it more this time around. It’s a remarkably well acted movie with heavily flawed characters, and the wasteland setting is really…

For the first time, having meant to get around to it for a long time, Seven Samurai (1954). Truly extraordinary film, worth every bit of the hype. The characters all felt so real and varied, and though the plot is simple (it’s been copied so much by…

I’m very happy with what I’ve seen so far, and most reviews being so high is great! I have no way of playing it myself unfortunately, at least not for a while, but I will watch a play-through sometime. Really looks like it could be the best Indy pro…
-
I miss playing these games. I’ll throw my hat into the ring to play this one! Great list too, by the way!

I think Schindler’s List is his best artistic achievement. Last Crusade is my personal favorite, but also both Jaws and Raiders are about as perfect as you can get. His best movies are incredibly rewatchable, too. I just watched One False Move (1…
-
I definitely think Spectre is coming back, too. Now they have the opportunity to plan it out better ahead of time, so there are no excuses now that the rights are secure to not do it really well. I do wonder if the trend of each new actor getting a …
-
Well, it’s a lot easier to explain and fit things into a novel than a film, especially if we’re talking only one of each. With the first few movies done in the series, there was a lot of buildup and multiple encounters with Spectre that made it feel…
-
Honey for sure.

Finally getting the last Folio Society Bond piece to come out (Octopussy & The Living Daylights), some update even if small of the new game that’s been in development for a long time, the rumored 4K Blu-Ray Connery films and maybe even more, and…
