I really like the idea of something like: Watch X movie by a certain day and then get into a discussion. I have a tough time with viewing stuff in the evening at a given time, but give me a week and I can definitely get there.

This is my boat.

And related to my post in the Eat Right thread... My wife goes to bed REALLY early on the nights we're not having wine and watching "our stories"... I'd love to fill that space with some quality movies!

I've fantasized about watching all of the Coen Bros movies before, so I'd be in! I've thought about similar director journeys (e.g. Scorsese), but I think the Coens might be the most fun. There are still a few of theirs that I've never seen.

Well, I fantasize about where I was when No Country For Old Men won best picture.

A lot of what some people consider their “lesser” works (relatively because they’re incredible) are sneaky genius. Thinking especially of Burn After Reading, Hail Caesar and A Serious Man. For almost any other director those would be their best movie by far. I’ve seen Burn After Reading maybe 20 times and I still laugh nonstop.

[EnochRoot]

A Serious Man is solid.

I wish I didn't know the answer to this one.

At least now you know how to get Kelli to answer that in charades!

I need to watch Burn After Reading. Don't know how I've missed that one.

I haven't seen the following:

Barton Fink
The Hudsucker Proxy
The Man Who Wasn't There
Inside Llewyn Davis
Hail, Caesar!
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

I don't know what Argylle is (aside from being pretty sure its a movie, hence choosing this thread), but I can't not read it as "Arg-lee" because the Rangers have a kid named Will Cuylle whose last name is pronounced "Coo-Lee".

Legit curious:

is Capricorn One the greatest B-movie of all time?

[sancarlos]

Imho, that honor goes to The Asphalt Jungle.

Never seen it.

Was just watching Capricorn One tonight on Hulu, and my recency bias says you're wrong.

I watched Jackie Brown for the first time last night. Not sure why I never saw it before. As I knew it would be, it was great! I had no idea Robert De Niro was in it. And man, Sam Jackson was an absolute tour-de-force in this one. Honestly, it might be his best work. Not sure why didn't get an Oscar nomination for that.

When I flew into LAX a couple of months ago, I got to walk down the "Jackie Brown" corridor from the start of the movie.

And yes, its a great movie. Probably my favorite Tarantino.

I can see that. It's less "Tarantino" than his other movies. And since DiS hasn't seen a single Adam Sandler movie, I'm guessing he's not a fan of silliness.

I enjoy well-done silliness...for example, "Raising Arizona" is probably my favorite Coen brothers movie.

Tarantino has become pretty predictable...in that his movies now always end in a big fight scene with lots of fire (Once upon a time in Hollywood, Inglourious Basterds, Django).

Jackie Brown was his peak imho.

[sancarlos]

Maybe Jackie Brown is a better story because it’s adapted from a pretty good book (Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard).

[brian]

I’ve been beating this drum for 20 years but it seems to be becoming more mainstream but yes Jackie Brown is vastly superior to Pulp Fiction.

Huh, didn’t realize. I read and enjoyed Rum Punch, somehow missed Jackie Brown. I wanted to see it when it came out, not sure why I never have.

[Johnnie]

Just watched Saltburn. That was….something.

I just watched it today. And yup. Something is right.

It had laugh out loud moments and what the fuck moments, so I was thoroughly entertained.

I wouldn't say that, but they're different enough styles that I get preferring one over the other.

Yeah, crazy fucking movie. I liked it.

the scene where he fucks the dirt over the grave was disturbing.

I was watching with my wife (who had already watched it solo) and I made the comment...

[+] spoiler

"What are they? Fucking vampires or something? This movie is just off.

And BAM...bench outside the window scene. Followed by "Well, you can sit next to Oliver. He can molest you."

I couldn't stop laughing at it. But the tub scene, tho. I went. "HEY YO WHAT THE FUCK." pretty loudly.

I was watching that movie with my wife and her college girlfriend and her 19 year old son.

It was late enough at night so I called it a night during the first gay sex scene. "Yeah, I'm sure this movie has meaning and all, but I'll leave it to you guys to find it."

[Johnnie]

Watched The Zone of Interest today.

Like...Jesus Christ.

It's about the Commandant of Auschwitz who lives right next door and shows his boring, procedural life with his boring, procedural family while literal hell on Earth is going on on the other side of his backyard wall.

It has 5 very, very earned Oscar noms and I cannot watch this one again.

Saw The Blair Witch Project in the theater last night as part of a friend's "film club". I have always hated that movie because the only time I saw it was probably the worst movie-going experience of my life. We got there late so we were on the front row which is always awful, but even more so for a movie with a shaky cam the whole time. Then the guy next to me pulled a beer out of his pocket and when he opened it, it blew up over both of us. So front row, half-covered in beer and nauseous from the shaky cam. Good times. But I decided to go last night and I actually really enjoyed it! I was happy Heather died!

Spoiler alert! Really wanted to see it when it came out, never did.
