Ty21 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Inglourious Basterds was a masterpiece and I really liked how there was balance to the sides. In a satirical kind of movie you’d kinda expect the nazis to all be doofuses but a few of the higher ups were intelligent and saw right through things. I think the alternate history ending where they wipe out all of nazi Germany was what made it eternally rewatchable (since a more historically realistic ending would’ve taken away from the movie I think). Still think it’s hilarious how over the top the execution of hitler and everyone else was lol. This is one of a few movies I can watch over and over again and never grow tired of 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That line from the reporter at the end of the film still resonates so damned much in today's society. Jimmy Stewart AND John Wayne (and Lee Marvin). Sign me up. Not to mention, some of the greatest character actors from movies, old time radio and early tv. It was a real eye-opener for me. I had seen "The Searchers" quite some time ago, but had forgotten how good it was. And, until the recent binge on his films, had not realized what I'd been missing out on. I was under the impression that the Spaghetti Western era produced the best films of the genre, & that Clint was the quintessential Western icon. Upon reflection, if I'm honest, it simply has to be John Wayne. A good portion of movies on that list are all-time classics. Then, there's a few that are thoroughly enjoyable on the back of The Duke's ability to carry a film. Wayne was undoubtedly the precursor to the successful careers that Eastwood, Schwarzenegger, & Johnson enjoyed/enjoy in Hollywood... "The Charismatic Man's Man." And, nobody does it better than John Wayne. I don't think I've ever seen a guy exude so much of that mysterious thing we call charisma.

I don't think I've ever seen a guy exude so much of that mysterious thing we call charisma. Nobody tops The Duke. Guy had more range than he gets credit for as well. Sure, they are all similar type characters for the most part, but he shows plenty of emotions and range within that character archetype throughout his career. The Quiet Man isn't a western, but it falls into the same category of Wayne being the Man's man, but also something more. It's in my top 10-15 favorite movies. McClintock is a great western comedy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly, with Wayne showcasing his comedic ability. Chaotic & fun - quite different from anything you'll see today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Watched a bunch of movies the past few days: Cockneys vs Zombies - A great small comedy about a zombie outbreak in London. Super 8 - Hadn't watched it in a while, forgot how enjoyable it was. Has that underdog story and time period that I like. Man from U.N.C.L.E. - Another one I can watch any time. I wish they had made a sequel, I could have watched a lot of those movies. Sahara - Another really fun one, Steve Zahn definitely steals the show. Wish we'd gotten a second one.

Fresh Prince Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Polar....hated the bad guy, film got better towards the end but nothing special. 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KManX89 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) I decided to dig through some of my old DVDs and popped in Terminator 1. Still a great movie to this day. Hope they do T6 justice (and with an R rating!) with James Cameron returning. Tim Miller (director of the first Deadpool) is directing, so it has potential and a good chance of returning to its R roots.
