Overrated movies

It deserves all of its iconic status and acclaim... Those first two films are basically perfect

 

I don't really enjoy brutality either, tbh, i'm a bit of a poof. 'Wow did you see that guys arm get chopped off!? Thats entertainment!'

 

Thing is, re: The French Connection and The Conversation....cdogg loves Gene Hackman....yet he conveniently forgets one of Hackster's quintessential roles:

I never even managed to make it through OUATIA. And I tried 2 or 3 times.

 

I think....just a guess...but that kind of stuff happened back in the day.

 

I'm not sure Clogg has seen The Conversation(?) You might be thinking of me mentioning it, thats my fave film ever

 

The acting performances in that...are better than Codfather.
And the direction.

And pretty much everything else.

 

Well its my fave movie ever so i agree but not by much. Both godfather films are off the charts good.

 

of course I have seen it!

My favorite actor is the star and it is one of his finest performances

What do you think I am, some sort of Philistine??????

 

"Once Upon A Time In America"! Anagrams are for children. :nono:


It's not quite in the class of "The Godfather" movies, but the long form version released in Europe is a legitimate classic. Kind of a grittier, dirtier version of "Godfather II".

The shorter U.S. cut of the movie is a fucking travesty. If that was the only version that saw the light of day, it would never be rated at all.

Really pounds home that the editing process can make or break a film.

 

SOORRRRY is it network you haven't seen? I'm sure i remember recommending you one of my faves recently-ish.

 

I'm young at heart.

I'll try rewatching the thing again some time when I'm bed ridden with a hangover. I do love the sets of early 20th century NYC

 

I don;t think there is a highly regarded film from the 70s that I haven't seen at least once

 

It's curious how cdogg ignores Gene Hackman's portrayal of Oliver Cromwell in "The best man who ever lived". The film along with Hackman won 124 Oscars.

 

Here's some high-regarded, not-so-well-known thrillers:
The Parallax View
The Long Goodbye
The Mechanic
The Killer Elite
Three Days Of The Condor
Two-Minute Warning
The Driver
Magic

 

Well LADI-DA!

 

BLOW ME!!!!! YOU HEAR THAT???!!!! FUCKIN' BLOW ME!!!!

 

Parallax View was a lot of fun, really liked that one

LOOOVE Three Days Of The Condor... one of my all-time favorite films

Away n RAFFLE YERSELF, YA BAM!!!

django was crap

Once Upon A Time in America is a good movie, but doesn't compare to the Godfather films imo (i've only seen the 229 min version)

 

This is where this overrated/underrated stuff gets murky and why I don't usually bother with these discussions including in boxing.

But "Crap"? Cmon.

 

Have you seen...

Vanishing Point
Electra Glide in Blue
White Line Fever
Nicholas & Alexandra
The Wind & The Lion
Scorpio
The Laughing Policeman
The Duellists
Bound For Glory
Barry Lyndon

 

Like Quite a Bit of Eastwood's Work...

 

As an ACTOR, REED Thinks he's Incredibly Overrated...He's the SAME Dude in just about Every Film...Most of the People that Praise Eastwood Grew Up WATCHING him & are Understandably NOSTALGIC about the Ol' Fart...
