I almost gave up on "Deep Red" by Dario Argento. Even though everyone says it's the gold standard of the giallo genre, I found it incredibly dull. It took me two full days of forcing myself to sit through it just to finish.

I just tried watching Aleksandr Sokurov's "Mother and Son." It was only ten minutes long, but I couldn't get through it.

Another movie where I nearly quit was Dario Argento's "Deep Red." Even though it’s considered a masterpiece of the giallo genre, I found it incredibly dull and uninteresting, so I had to force myself to finish it over the course of two days.

Finally, a period piece that actually nails the retro aesthetic.

Do you mind sharing when and where you watched this?

I don't get why people find it weird that a movie about making "Citizen Kane" was shot in black and white. If any movie in 2020 needed to be black and white, it’s this one.

ruggedbadger2, you've seen every movie ever made. That list is impressive.

Where would you slot movies by guys like Sidney Lumet, William Friedkin, Clint Eastwood, or John Frankenheimer?

dustycanyon5, who’s your top director?

Laura Palmer25 said:I was talking about tribute awards, like I said. We all know who gets those little tributes... they're for people being given a polite exit from the stage.

She got it because she had four titles at Cannes, including three films and a TV series.

Anyway, Naomi Watts is a solid actress, better than Monica Bellucka.

Man. 😁

Hands down, the best movie from the '90s I've ever seen.

To get into the Reddit - movies sub, I have to use this specific link or just search 'Reddit - movies' on Google. It doesn't matter if I'm logged in or not.
I can access all the other subforums normally, without that 'forumid' showing up in the URL. Does anyone know what's going on?
Thx.

That list really is a bit of a grab bag. 😁

Yeah, that last list was pretty random. I only posted it because of the title, even though I hadn't checked the contents. 😁
The others are definitely on topic, though I'm sure there are some outliers in those too. 😉

Woman in the Dunes (1964) is one of my favorite existential films.

Even if you go by some random handle, have a black profile picture, only one single post about building a backyard greenhouse, and your profile says female, you’ll still get a DM from some random guy trying to hit on you.

Good movies usually get a 6 or a 7, yet you call it total nonsense when it's a 6? I don't get it.
