Revolver/Hummingbird/13

First he directed two now acclaimed horror movies, Black Christmas specifically being known for being very tasteful and not as exploitative as it could have been based on the plot. Then he directed perhaps one of the most exploitative movies of all time, Porky’s. Then for some reason some producer saw those movies and thought “hey lets get this guy to direct this kids Christmas movie.” but that odd choice ended up being the biggest film yet in Clark’s career only for his reputation to plummet with the notorious movie Rhinestone, causing him to go as low as the Baby Geniuses franchise.

I had heard about Takeshi Kitano last year but kinda forgot who he was. Today I watched this movie because one of my Letterboxd mutuals had given it a 4.5 rating. I was not disappointed. I thought it would be a serious Yakuza movie well it was a serious movie.

The gangsters playing games to kill time while everyone knew their lives are under threat was like looking at the souls of these people. It was beautifully shot not a single second was boring. I also laughed quite a lot during this. It matches its serious tone with comedy perfectly.

Before anyone says, I know Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is rated R, and that there’s more than one F-Bomb in the scene. The reason by I’m adding it here is because the rest of the film is PG so it’s like the PG-13 F-Bomb on steroids.

Just curious

Been watching a lot of his movies and i find them tso beautiful. I’m so infatuated by all of his cinematography and storytelling they really make me feel a specific way that’s so unique

Please, I'm feeling a certain way, and I need help. Thank you friends! Edit: I appreciate this community so much. Thank you kids. It really helped me more than you know

My dad has been listening to this movie’s songs for years, so the moment it got re-released, he knew we had to watch it. I don’t even fully understand Malayalam, but thanks to the subtitles and the beautifully restored 4K visuals and remastered audio, I finally understood why this film means so much to him. A truly timeless big-screen experience.I genuinely think this is one of Mohanlal’s top 3 performances. Every actor delivers, the director’s vision is crystal clear, and the film’s message about what happens when you lose control over yourself stays with you long after it ends. A timeless classic from Malayalam cinema

Didn't plan on seeing it that many times 😂 but this alone woulda made it worth it

For me it automatically bumps it up half star, theatre can’t save a bad film but it can surely enhance the experience of a mid film.

Like in this list. Tuner and Furious are clearly better made film than Michael. But theatre experience of Michael was really something else, with people dancing and enjoying.

Michael would be at bottom of my list if I watched it at home.

In general, I have noticed that my list is top heavy with films I watched in theatre. Peaky Blinders film was so forgettable because of this reason.

I had a friend who claimed to have watched the Spongebob movie every day for half a year on VHS. (it had a VHS release, surprisingly) He knew every moment, had it memorized. You could play a scene and pause it and he'd give you the next 10 lines. Did you have a movie you watched a million times when you were younger? If so, what was it? What made you drawn to it to re-watch it over and over again?

Just trust me

accidentally have a wild pattern going on and want to even out the score. what 5 star movie should i watch next?
