Brad Posted October 7, 2018 Report Posted October 7, 2018 We saw Venom last night. Despite the critics’ reviews, I thought it was entertaining. Quote

I really like the first 90 minutes but it lost me a bit in the last hour. No reason for this to be so long.  I'm referring the Bad Times at the El Royale. Haven't seen Sister Brothers though Ive read the book. Wasn't nuts about it. Jeeze I'm a grouch. Edited October 15, 2018 by medjuck Quote

Discuss. I can't find much to criticize about that list. I've certainly seen far worse "100 best" lists over the years. Plenty of unimpeachable classics represented, but there's some newer stuff as well. It remains to be seen how those will hold up with the passage of time and increased historical perspective, but from where I sit, there don't seem to be any obvious howlers. Edit: OK, one nitpick - no Melville? Edited October 31, 2018 by Dave Garrett Quote

Brad Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 This is superb beyond words.  Makes watching it and All the Presidents Men together almost a requirement. Quote

Brad Posted November 11, 2018 Report Posted November 11, 2018 Fascinating movie. Niven won Best Actor.  Wendy Hiller Best Supporting Actress. Quote
JSngry Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Posted November 16, 2018 Not "so bad it's good" ones, more like "so weird it's fascinating" B-jobs that come in under an hour and don't waste one minute doing anything that is not WTF?-ish in some form or fashion. Delightful! Quote
