Jake Gittes Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Just saw The Long Goodbye a week ago. The scene with the coke bottle is one of the most shocking bursts of violence I've ever seen in a film. And Brackett, Altman and Gould deserve huge credit for somehow making the line "I even lost my cat" simultaneously badass and tragic. After Hours is a delight, the "Surrender Dorothy" scene especially. As far as Scorsese goes I think The King of Comedy, Last Temptation and Bringing Out the Dead wouldn't be out of place here either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 92. Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988) written by: Arnold Schulman, David Seidler directed by: Francis Ford Coppola starring: Jeff Bridges, Joan Allen, Martin Landau, Christian Slater Synopsis: The story of Preston Tucker, the maverick car designer and his ill-fated challenge to the auto industry with his revolutionary car concept. Back in its heyday in the 1980s, Lucasfilm partnered with filmmakers close to Lucas, and produced movies other than their famous franchises. This is one of the high points of those collaborations, and for Francis Ford Coppola, the story of Tucker really parallels his own efforts to build his company into a studio outside of Hollywood. This is a movie about the American dream, in its best form… and how that dream can be crushed by corporations unwilling to innovate. It's a story that never feels out-dated, because sadly this has been a part of America ever since the country was founded. Even right now, there are striking similarities to Tucker's story and what Elon Musk is trying to do with Tesla Motors (although Musk seems to have a real chance at succeeding). But beyond all that, this is a classy, elegant movie with beautiful cinematography, excellent performances, and more than a touch of nostalgia for a past that really exists only in movies. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 the king of comedy it's one of the more underrated Martin Scorsese films in my opinion. Bringing out the dead I thought was pretty stupid. But as they say Different Strokes different folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Saw Tucker in theaters at the age of 16 lol. Thought it was boring. Then saw it again about 5 years later and likedit immensely.....too bad that never happened with Citizen Kane LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 91. 9 (2009) written by: Pamela Pettler, Shane Acker (story) directed by: Shane Acker starring: Elijah Wood, Christopher Plummer, John C. Reilly, Crispin Glover, Jennifer Connelly Synopsis: A rag doll that awakens in a postapocalyptic future holds the key to humanity's salvation. One of just a handful of animated movies to make this list, 9 is a visually stunning movie that feels strikingly individual and unique. In this era of Pixar and Dreamworks and Blue Sky Animation, there are so many franchises that (no matter their quality) feel very much like a product of each company. 9 is based on an Oscar-nominated short film by Shane Acker, who managed to wow Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov with the story and visuals. They stepped on as producers and their combined clout was enough to get the movie made. Elijah Wood is the voice of 9, a rag doll with that number scrawled on his back, who wakes up in a post-apocalyptic city with no real sense of who he is or what happened. He begins to explore and finds more dolls like him (also named with numbers) -- together, they form a rag-tag team to see if they can find out what their destiny is and whether they can save the ruined world. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is the sequel to Tucker the one where Ford buys out Tucker's studio company and goes on to make the most popular film car in the US market?

Dementeleus Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 90. Down and Out in Beverly Hills (1986) written by: Paul Mazursky & Leon Capetanos, based on the play by Rene Fauchois directed by: Paul Mazursky starring: Nick Nolte, Bette Midler, Richard Dreyfuss, Little Richard Synopsis: A rich but troubled family find their lives altered by the arrival of a vagrant who tries to drown himself in their swimming pool. Mazursky's absurdist farce about shallow materialism and how easily it can cause people to drift apart from each other and lead their own separate, narcissistic lives. But that makes it sound like it's a big Message movie, when in fact it's a very funny comedy featuring Nolte, Midler, and Dreyfuss at their very best. Dreyfuss and Nolte (in particular) aren't necessarily known for their comedic roles, but they're excellent, and Midler was a powerhouse in the 80s. Little Richard basically plays a fictional version of himself (!) and the wonderful character actress Elizabeth Pena has a nice role as well, as the maid who starts discovering her inner revolutionary spirit. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) After Hours is freaking fantastic and a hilarious dark comedy too. One of Scorsese's most underrated and among his best. I dug 9. It's a pretty neat and enjoyable animated post apocalyptic animated. Haven't seen Tucker or Down and Out of Beverly Hills yet, but I should probably see one or the other soon.
