Kenneth Jackson30 said:Anyone remember that Classic Western where four outlaws ride up to a ranch and slaughter the whole family? There’s this kid who manages to hide under a stagecoach—watches the whole thing go down—and memorizes their faces and tattoos. He grows up, hunts them one by one, and gets his revenge. I saw this back in the 80s when I was just a kid and it stuck with me like crazy, but the title is totally slipping my mind. Anyone got a lead?🍿
Man to man.
Luigi Pastilli is just incredible here. Honestly, the guy was such a badass playing supporting roles in some of the best Classic Westerns out there—this role is easily his peak.
That heavy silence—the whole movie just reeks of raw nihilism and the scent of blood on snow🍿
Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America is definitely the one!

Man to man, it's got that same kind of weight.
Faccia a faccia didn't make the cut though🤔
What Predator(1987) really levels up as a masterpiece is that insane sound mix in dd5.1—especially the DTS. It’s just such an immersive vibe. Honestly, besides >, this is my absolute favorite. If you’ve got a solid hi-fi setup and a > copy (that ultimate hunter edition), you're set. 🙂🙏
I didn't really feel like starting a whole new thread, but here are a few other flicks where the sound engineers absolutely crushed it: Master and Commander, Children of Men, Collateral, The Dark Knight, U-571, Gladiator, and Total Recall.
And if we're talking more recent stuff, check out The Raid, Berendal, and >.
So, what have you guys actually been up to all these years?
Honestly, just hitting the sack early.🙏

Once Upon a Time in America: breaking down that garbage truck scene and the whole dream theory
There's something cool about this selection. refn can't even pronounce Stalker, and cuaron hasn't even seen Two-Lane Blacktop. It's kind of hilarious.
One of my absolute favorites in my collection:
Point Blank is easily my favorite Boorman flick.
Das Boot (The original Uncut version) - 282 min
Seconds (1966)
Solaris (1972)
The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)
Just revisited Demon Seed (1977). Honestly? A total trip. It’s one of those weird, low-budget sci-fi flicks that hits different when you're watching it late at night. The whole premise—this supercomputer getting way too obsessed with a woman—is basically the blueprint for every "AI gone rogue" movie we see now. It’s creepy, it’s messy, and it definitely doesn't hold back on the weirdness. Definitely worth a watch if you're into that retro, slightly unhinged vibe.
Stalker (1979)
Just revisited Altered States (1980)—man, what a trip. It’s one of those weird, heady flicks that sticks in your brain long after the credits roll. It’s got that gritty, late-70s/early-80s vibe that just hits different—kind of messy, kind of beautiful, and totally unhinged. It’s basically about this guy diving deep into sensory deprivation and psychedelic experimentation to find some cosmic truth, only to realize that digging into our evolutionary past might be a terrible idea. It’s trippy, sure, but it also feels strangely visceral. I remember watching this back in the day and feeling like my own perception was slightly off for an hour afterward. Definitely not your typical popcorn flick. If you haven't seen it, give it a shot if you're in the mood for something that actually makes you think—even if what it makes you think about is a little unsettling.
Just revisited *on The Silver Globe*. Honestly? Still trips me out every single time. It’s one of those movies that stays under your skin—not exactly a "fun" watch, but you can't look away. The visuals are wild, even by today's standards. It feels less like a standard sci-fi flick and more like some fever dream you'd have after drinking way too much coffee at 3 AM. Definitely worth the runtime if you're into stuff that makes you question reality a bit.
They Live (1988)
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau talking about Once Upon a Time in America 🙏
He looks scruffy and totally unpolished in that brilliant
night moves small role.

Killer: A Journal of Murder (1995) — basically his version of Videodrome. Totally forgot about that one.
slywolf45 said:Look, there are still plenty of us who remember that flick. 😁
Duh. Pretty sure it’s the most aired movie on basically every cable channel out there—you know, those late-night filler slots like Dickless Tracy, Nick Lang's Smoking Gun, Party Crasher, or Frog Dog.
Best thing about Videodrome!
The Hard Way is a total riot too—plus that political vibe in El Salvador is spot on.
