That leaves eight movies, of which the only I really don't like is Amarcord.
I love that one. Very funny film.
One of Fellini's best. This scene and "want women" are my favorites.

I hope they don't cancel Dark. They can get rid of the rest for all I care though.

There's a lot of those that I could list. Marketa Lazarova, Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Young Girls of Rochefort, 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her, Andrei Rublev, Mother India...
Absolutely agree about Umbrellas and most Demy films in general. Way too saccharine and cute. 🤮

How about foreign classics? Stars of Eger is frequently listed as one of Hungary's best/ most important films and I thought it was one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Hollywood (1980)
Cinema Europe: the Other Hollywood (1995)

King Kong - people rave about this and I don't get why. special effects influence can only carry it so far
Eraserhead -David Lynch in general, though I loved Mulholland Drive
I have to definitely disagree here. I love these two. Some of the best in their genre imo.

No, but it underlines the childishness, and mean-spirited pettiness that "Str8s" perceive in the community trying to form some tribalistic culture out of nothing--In the hopes of trying to market themselves into one, and goof and guffaw their own bigoted self-stereotypes in the belief they're "celebrating" them, rather than build bridges with anyone who still holds them. A culture wants its cake, with big pink icing, and to eat their own "misunderstood persecution" for it too.
No, Bette Davis in All About Eve was never a "gay movie", but it's since been adopted as one, since Davis, her stylized acting, and the story's backstabbing/catfighting plot, seems to live up to one culture's bitterly misogynistic issues about their fantasy-perceptions of the opposite sex. Those of us with fewer personal problems would like to appreciate the movie for what it is, without the pointed cheap-gag hooting from the balcony...And since I was only dissing it for its association with its "fans", that probably disqualifies it, and I should withdraw the question. As for Tennessee Williams and Streetcar, well, that's hardly any secret there, but that doesn't make the character depictions of Blanche and Stanley any less grating or truer to life either.
I'm not the one who hijacked the thread, and I only wanted to wrap up the point--But only recently, I found out that "Grease" is now considered a, quote, "gay icon" movie, because the community sees it as a "hetero fantasy" of Greaser and T-Birds doin' it in the back seats at drive-in's...So, now, movies are, quote, "gay" for being "TOO straight"? The rest of us will "mind our own danged business" when someone else learns how to first.
(And if I was on YouTube, I'd be in tears shouting "Leave 'Xanadu' alone!!! 😰" 😃 )
I think the Schwanzschwulens are a bit uh... odd too but this discussion is best suited for the Off Topic forum.

I've already mentioned it but I don't care for Sound of Music either but I absolutely love the "reimagining." Seriously, probably my favorite album. Along with the Thing, it is one of the rare times where the "remake" blows the original out of the water.

Films like that which are half silent and half talkie are known as "goat gland" films too. It was named after an old-timey cure for impotence though I don't really see what it has to do with impotence exactly.

I mentioned this before but couldn't post a clip then.Bogart and Bergman dancing to Perfidia in Casablanca
Perfidia also heard in Mask of Dimitrios, Old Acquaintance and Now Voyager
I think this one is in Quantum Leap when Al leaps into the 40s.

I was just thinking that Criterion should do a release of a Serbian Film. It doesn't even have a good, hi-def English subtitled release in the US or UK. I'd much rather see that in the collection than Tiny Furniture or WC Fields or any of their other "iffy" choices.
Any movies you guys want to see get released by them?

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 4-Hour Cut May Be Heading to Netflix
There's a decent chance we're going to see a much longer cut of Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Recently, a rumor popped up, via entertainment reporter Kyle Buchanon, that stated the director was planning on releasing a longer cut for Netflix, much like he did with The Hateful Eight, which would be cut into episodes. Buchanon, taking to Twitter, had this to say.
"I keep hearing Tarantino told the Once Upon a Time in Hollywoodactors that he'll put their deleted scenes back when he recuts the film into episodes for Netflix, akin to what he recently did with Hateful Eight."
Were it only for that tweet, this would merely exist in the plausible rumor mill. Now, however, we have further evidence from one of the stars of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that further confirms this rumor. Nicholas Hammond, who plays Sam Wanamaker in Quentin Tarantino's ode to 60s Hollywood, recently was interviewed and, lo and behold, he confirmed, to the best of his knowledge, such talks are taking place. Here's what Hammond had to say.
"There is talk about there being a 4-hour Netflix version, as well, because there were a lot of scenes he shot that couldn't make it into the film because there just simply wasn't room. The promise is that like his other film, 'The Hateful Eight,' they just done a 4-hour Netflix version. And I think they're talking about doing the same. There are some actors like Tim Roth, wonderful actors, who never even made it into the film. I mean, they're entire roles got cut...The Netflix version will be great too."
As certain folks may recall, earlier this year, an extended cut of The Hateful Eight appeared on Netflix that was much longer than the theatrical cut. It was four hours and was divided into four different episodes, effectively turning the movie into a miniseries. It was later revealed that Tarantino worked on the cut personally with editor Fred Raskin.
With that in mind, it's highly possible the filmmaker could do the same for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. We already know plenty of footage made it on the cutting room floor. So much so that certain performances were removed entirely. Aside from Tim Roth, James Marsden had been cast as the late Burt Reynolds. However, Marsden's part was removed from the final cut. Should this Netflix cut come to pass, we may still see the footage, in context, and not just as a deleted scene on the Blu-ray/DVD release.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, despite several controversies, is doing quite well. The movie set a personal best for Quentin Tarantino at the box office last weekend and critics, generally speaking, have responded very kindly, making it a likely awards season contender. Specifically, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie could be up for Oscars for their performances. Feel free to check out the full interview with Nicholas Hammond from the Discussing Film YouTube channel below.

"We're in the money" was reused in a few films and cartoons, particularly scenes where characters suddenly acquired money.

I was less enthused, but still liked, L'eclisse and La Notte. Then The Passenger, Blowup, and Red Desert.
La Notte was a real snore fest. His worst film.

I am reading some of Nietzsche's work on Einsamkeit/ solitude and quite liking it. Very relatable to in our modern era of disgusting mass culture and collective thinking.

now that i think about it though, the song GOOD MORNING (HOW DO YOU DO?) shows up in a lot of MGM properties as well...maybe more than SINGIN...
Yeah, I was about to mention that one. It shows up in a ton from the 1930s, usually in instrumental form.

Stars of Eger (1968) has to take the cake for worst war film for me. Unresolved plot points (hero's father is stuck in a Turkish prison and they just sail away and leave him there?) and terrible action scenes/ stuntwork (stuntmen jump from ladders looking down to find the mat as they are being toppled over the castle wall). The movie also moves on at a snails' pace and goes on way too long. The first half is so boring and leads nowhere so they should have just cut it from the film. The second half has some battle scenes so they should have just made that into a cheesy war film about the Siege of Eger and it would have been a much better (but still bad) film.

General Leone from Many Wars Ago. What a proto-Fascist bastard.
Easy to send your men to death when you don't do the fighting.
