#TheGentlemen is a much-welcome return to writer/director #GuyRitchie's early, ultra-written attempts to ape #Tarantino in the British underworld. He's still trying too hard, but this violent, incorrect & clever thriller is quite engaging and entertaining for it.WOW, by no means a fan of his, though he did 2 good movies SNATCH & LOCK, STOCK & TWO SMOKING GUN BARRELS
But later actually sued MADONNA & got it for over $190m!!!
They met during shooting of a lame (**) film called SWEPT AWAY, then it turns out how greedy the man was She in essence financed his movie then with her divorce settlement!
PENN didn't ask for a red cent from her

Of the actors and actresses still working today; I would choose Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts.
how about DE NIRO too?

excellent job buddy just about the entire soundtrack or very close to it!
I've mentioned this before, but we always have those that didn't read it or new TCM-ITES On youtube is ENNIO & a massive orchestra conducting this-(no clips, just tremendous music)
composing this & others
If anyone is a fan go check it out, I musta watched it 10 times since first discovering it
-
LEONE always wanted EASTWOOD as Harmonica, but CLINT didn't want to do another spaghetti western, CLINT says the never spoke again & SERGIO only lived until l989
-
TREMENDOUS & stunningly ENNIO has only won 1 Academy award for Tarentino's HATEFUL-EIGHT

THANKS PAL! Ever notice how almost at times ENNIO'S scoring of the l984 ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA it is? & always tell people aboutthis when it comes to a directors cut vs edited/chopped up,etc AMERICA'S D/C was 3hrs and 47 minutes, but for U.S. moviegoers it was just 139 minutes!
They have always done this for us vs.European audiences, but never ever to that extent
I went to the chopped up version of course only, but have seen the directors cut a few times AFI & myself rank it among the top ten of that decade

I have a list too, but Steve McQueen was the first person that came to mind. As far as actresses are concerned, Grace Kelly would be my #1.
ALRIGHT PAL!

I find it amazing, a flash of ****/genitalia will impress viewers so strongly. Often, it's the first image that comes to mind when a film is mentioned, "...did they cut the ___scene?" Maybe that's why some filmmakers put a flash of nudity in, to be memorable?
As an artist I deal with images of nudity on a daily basis, like a nurse or caregiver. Ho-hum.
But I do love the storyline in THE LAST PICTURE SHOW of the character's losing their virginity, it's very sweet and empathetically told. I found the pool scene a liberating and joyous triumph for Jacey, despite the underlying salacious intentions of the other charactors.
That's why I want to see Texasville so badly, to find out what happened to Jacey. Obviously, the charactors are very "real" to me.
SHEPARD is rumored to be a real jerk

as I've written before, just in case some fans of tcm missed it I
m not alone in saying this either COOPER, along with W.C. FIELDS seem to be forgotten a lot thesedays, especially the later?
I know on here they are fond of COOP, but in general ^& especially in this era we live
AFI even ranked him down the list at #11th

Personally though not my fav actress, STANWYCK was cool during the '40's

I'm looking forward to THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS; I've never seen it. Clifton Webb is one of my favorites. I even named one of my cats in his honor!
Webb's niche in HOLLYWOOD FOREVER, CEM isn't closed tight all the way & is ALWAYS in HOLLYWOOD ghost stories, even his fmr house was-(now gone) was said to be haunted

Topol on TCM
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF with Leonard Frey
could never get through it myself

Recall that song-of lots) in EASY RIDER "Don't Bogart that Joint my Friend?" It oviously was a pun on BOGEY always having a cig in his mouth
-
MITCHUM admitted smoking pot right up until the end
-
Obviously tons of his fans thought BOGEY was even cooler with a cigarette going
TRACY smoked once in awhile & CAGNEY barely ever
It was the '50's where it really seemed to peak on the silver-screen

There seems to be a correlation between smoking and cool. Bogart and Newman knew how to smoke cool. Any actor that can talk without losing his/her cigarette is cool.
there used to be, but nowadays you can't really smoke on tv, ever since l97l the first dangers of smoking is said to be in an article in readers digest in l953 though
