This film was like a parody wrote and conducted by Sacha Baron Cohen 😂😂😂😂

I always loved Heaven's Gate (the long version), the only movie I've ever watched with an intermission ha ha

This is the stupidest "Horror" movie I have ever seen 😂😂😂 Quick question: "What do you do when a strange pencil neck satanist bothers you and your daughter ( If you are the mother of the would be cop in the movie ) ? Option A: You let him sing his freaky shitty song then let him get into the house and tie you up Option B: You sick the fcking dogs on him. Well obviously it's option B 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This movie is just fcking ridiculous and not scary at all it is so fcking rdiculous it is funny ! How the actual Fck can people find Longlegs to be scary is fcking beyond me ! 😂😂😂 It is literally the worst "Horror" movie I ever had the miserable misfortune to see but wait... ! There is still Nosferatu 2025 witch is in second spot. This is the future of horror movies ? We are doomed ! Btw I just discovered your channels and I like your no bs reviews ! Subscribed my dude 🙂 !

You forgot Thunder bolt and Lightfoot one of his best

Everyone saying the acting was top notch needs their heads examined. It honestly felt like a parody in the style of Scary Movie. I burst out laughing several times when the actors were trying so hard to do their best scary voices. Orlok's voice sounds like my dad trying to sound scary while chasing the laughing grandkids around.

Fantastic list. Any thoughts on Breezy?

worst movie of 2024?

Good video. A little arrogant and annoying, and a lot of true things. The acting wasnt as bad as the script. Actors can be better when they all clearly understand why they go from one emotion to another, but in this, its all “script says we need drama!” A lot of things people complain about, some of which you complain about in this video, like the moustache, are really due to other things not being in place, but since the moustache is the easiest people jump on that. However, this is the worst thing from your video: “Im not trying to be a contrarian. It would be extremely easy to jump on this bandwagon and collect some goodwill likes and followers. But Im not about that.” Then stay true to your word in the comments instead of being a total hypocrite. Saying all these things about the movie (which are mostly true) then in the comments saying “Hey, you liked the movie? Thats great! Im really glad you shared your delusional opinion!” Is so fake and hypocritical. You wouldnt say those things in the video, so why do that in the comments? Unless youre “not about that”… “Die of boredom or holster up my guns” is a quote that should be saved for someone who wont turn tail as soon as the tide comes in. Why lie? Be as brave in the comments as you are in the video and tell people theyre wrong instead of getting scared and only in the comments saying “Movies are subjective. I really fake-like your wrong opinion.” If movies are subjective why make a whole video explaining precisely the opposite? Time to actually “be” “about that.”

Im looking at this vid while still watching the movie.

Cimino taught United Artists how to play financial Russian roulette with Heaven's Gate.

Desilusão mas desilusão. Concordo com a critica. O pessoal que nasceu á 15 segundos e fica entusiasmado com o simples brilho do sol, que vá ver as versões para trás do Nosferatu e pode ser que entendam o escusado deste filme ter sido feito. Nos dias de hoje, lamento, mas já não basta dizer que um filme está bem executado ou tem bom ambiente, quando não é original no seu argumento.

This movie was horrible. From the directing..to the lead actress...to the convoluted Dracula/Bram Stoker mushed plot. Its horrific..but not in a good way. Bro...Dude..People started walking out and hour before it ended. And this was on opening day. What offended me was copying Francis Coppola's iteration with no innovation. Gary Oldmans masterful job the wheezing of Dracula, the shadow that can shut doors, that offended me because the movie was bad. They then copied parts of the Dracula novel, which Nosferatu predates. The writing was so bad to where the "van helsing" character never kearns anything about Orlok. They never know what he is or was. Lastly the forced role of the main actress was just weird. It was goofy things like her knowing when horses pull up because every since se was kid she just knew "things". I was so sick, i waited like everyone and had high hopes someone would knock the 1991 Bram's Stokers off..well..its 2025 and it still hasnt happened.

Just watched it. Awful. Just awful. Almost as bad as his movie The Lighthouse.

Ari Aster may be in the pantheon of overrated directors, but Hereditary is honestly amazing.

I nearly fell asleep the last hour. Have not been so bored at a movie in a long time. Only good scenes were the castle scenes cause they at least had some tension. Also, what was with the sexualized seizures, or when she randomly says how the vampire is better in bed than her husband so he.... just goes for it? Like aggressively and suddenly out of nowhere. Like was he already hard and ready to go for some reason? Who thought this movie was a good idea lol

[From Germany:] 4 reasons to watch this movie: 1. It makes vampires scary again (at last)! 2. It focuses on Ellen as leading character, making the vampire a symbol of her supressed desires within an oppressive society that can only be lived out in a perverted, demonic manner. 3. Orlok/Dracula looks - at last! - like an actual eastern european nobleman of his era, including the moustache. A courageous decision, NOT to make him sexy or even handsome. 4. Lily Rose-Depp's acting is dazzling and heartbreaking. - Not to mention the visual qualities of the movie. I am from the homeland of the 1922 Nosferatu and always loved it, but I consider Eggers' Remake to be the best by far, much more original and self-contained than Werner Herzog's german Remake from 1979.

I also wasn't impressed by this film but it would be a mistake to never watch The VVitch. That's a masterpiece

I respectfully agree to disagree with you. Overall, I enoyed the movie. There was a ten to fifteen minute stretch where it was painfully slow and frightfully boring for me. Count Orlok with his mustache reminded me of Jom Carrey's villian from the Sonic movie, so I didn't take him as seriously as I could have. Otherwise, I am glad that i saw the movie, and I thought it was masterfully created.

Personal opinion here - I could not agree less with this review - especially that it relies heavily on cheap jump scares and gore. What it relies on is a heavy, nightmarish and pressing atmosphere that comes to life through outstanding acting from the whole cast - especially Bill Skarsgård and Lily-Rose Depp. But everyone is entitled to their own opinon and I would not tell people to not watch a film - even If I personally thought it sucked. See it and make your own opinion on it. To me this was one of the best movies I have seen in years.

1. Murnau's film "even a hundred years later still scary and chilling" - lol, just stop. It's just not. It's a classic, no doubt - but not in any way scary by today's standards. Get real. 2. Another shmock who didn't like the mustache... Stoker's Dracula - as well as pretty much all historical Transylvanian noblemen - had one. Disagree on all points you made. They're not even well argued. Go find another hobby.

Robert Eggers makes period dramas, not horror movies.

I actually belong to none of these four categories you mentioned.I loved the movie, without overlooking a couple of flawed decisions imho. I also happen to be a fan of Eggers' (whose attention to detail and historical-mindedness should be recognized, at least, as admirable, if nothing else), and I would offer my opinion in response to yours, but I don't think there's any point. Not only does it look like you came into this ready to hate it, but you go out of your way to basically deny this movie any merit whatsoever, even those it objectively has, like the success in recreating the Romantic era both in attitude and aesthetic, the technical skill of the direction, the costumes, etc. It's ok. Seems like Eggers' cinema isn't your thing. Nobody denied it's not for everyone.

Eggers must be the most overrated director out there.

Exactly my point for anyone who saw bram strokers Dracula this movie is a joke and shouldn’t exist

I loved the movie! I expected that there won't be a change in a story, because it's based on a book, i knew that it would be heavily influenced by old Nosferatu. Liked that Lillys disease was shown as a demonic posession. Some of the scenes could be done better: Romanian gipsies were shown in a weird way, eating a pugeon head missed sound of braking bones. Overall it was beautiful and disgusting. I had few jumps, but it had this feeling of disgust and rot. I loved that. Vampire with a mustache is an actual look of Vlad Tepes, who was inspiration for count Dracula. We were so framed by how Nosferatu should look, that anything different than our image disagrees with us.

I respectfully, full heartedly disagree. Its up there with the lighthouse in my opinion

Booo 👎 Movie was a cinematic masterpiece, first horror movie to make me jump in years.

It just felt hard to connect with.

Custa-me horrores dizer isto, mas concordo com o sentimento geral da tua análise. Não sou fã do desdém do Robert Eggers como um todo sem teres visto os outros filmes e não alinho na carga de porrada à Lilly. Acho que o elenco está genericamente fraco (por exemplo, achei Aaron Taylor-Johnson o elo mais fraco), mas culpo a direcção de actores. O mais curioso foi que Nosferatu evocou a memória barroca do fantástico Dracula de Francis Ford Coppola, revelando-se oco e vazio na comparação. Curioso é um filme ser longo demais e parecer apressado em inúmeras sequências ao mesmo tempo. Enfim, um filme lindíssimo, mas da espessura de um lindíssimo postal ilustrado.

That's what vampires do. They suck.

😂😂😂 Funny as always! Keep it up

Have you read the recent Cimino biography?????

The movie that made trouble for Scorsese was not King of Comedy, that was a flop but not an expensive one. The movie that almost killed his carrer was New York, New York, a really expensive flop.......

Cimino will always be one of my favorite directors and it’s a shame he never got a chance to direct more. Hopefully this series will bring more attention to his post Heaven’s Gate movies.

I watched Year of the Dragon after reading Tarantino's Cinema Speculation and it was amazing. I especially found the character conflict and contrast between Stan and Joey Tai unexpectedly compelling. I don't believe the film is racist, at least it didn't seem that way. The film doesn't condone Stan's prejudice towards the Chinese and it does acknowledge that he is out of touch with the world he lives in. For me, Year of the Dragon is a prime example of how sometimes the most popular/mainstream films of the '80s are not always the best. I love YOTD, but The Untouchables always seemed overrated to me, even though it's a really good film. And everyone sings praises for The Lost Boys, but not as many people talk about Near Dark. The Lost Boys feels studio-mandated in places, but Near Dark is properly unhinged. As for the character of Tracy Tzu, it's not so much the performance that bugs me (although it is much weaker than Rourke's or Lone's), but her romance with Stan. I didn't understand why they would fall for each other.

You could put Tucci and Feinnes in a room reading Knitting Monthly and it would be worth the price of admission.

This movie is the WILDEST juxtaposition of acting I've seen in a long, long time. Monroe is swinging for the fences with a truly spectacular performance whilst Cage looks like he's hopped up on meth. Quite what she was thinking sat opposite him in their final dialogue is anyone's guess.

Villenueve more than exceeded my wildest expectations for Dune. I thought the task was impossible but Denis proved me wrong. And yet .... did he adequately convey the true scale of an intergalactic empire spanning thousands of worlds? It's a serious question that popped into my mind after recently watching the remastered version of David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia which ... well ... seemed far more epic despite portraying a war involving just a few thousand people in some tiny corner of our earth.

I had no idea what was going on in this movie. But .... shares in CGI are going up, up, up!!!

Seriously, I had to switch it off after half an hour. That's not me. I'm one of these people who'll see even bad films or books through to the end (often for no reason other than sheer bloody mindedness). What I witnessed was completely surreal. I mean, it looks a million dollars. And you could tell Joaquin - at the very least - got in great physical shape for the film. A LOT of talented and dedicated people invested time and energy into this. And yet spiritually it seemed like one giant singularity sucking everything in to leave a big fat ... nothing.

Long list of reprobates in Hollywood. The grapevine hurts these persons slyly. But understands they need to survive. Year of the Dragon so well done. He learned

He didn't.

This was such such such an amazing series I really thoroughly enjoyed every episode. And I’m so glad it brought me to you channel. You make great content! Thank you

The guy made too many enemies. He was on thin ice after making The Deer Hunter which had the unique distinction of both the Left and the Right enraged with the former believing it was overtly racist and the latter thinking it was anti-American. He then drops the middle finger with Heaven's Gate which paints the heroes as a bunch of proto-Marxists who are wiped out by the conservative landowning class and an emerging national security state. Even Oliver Stone wasn't that brave. He sure got the message after releasing JFK - the only movie I can recall which was reviewed (negatively) before it left the editing suite. I mean, Nixon is still a good movie but Stone dialed it way, way back.

DDL to Christopher Lambert is laughable. Lambert was the bigger name probs but come on, he was always a weak actor, especially for a charismatic character like Giuliano

I always like Year of the Dragon - fascinating and exciting.

His distorted physical appearance reminds me of Phil Spector

Kinda glad he didn’t ruin those other movies

The Sicilian is dubbed in Italy, that makes a decent film out of it, very close to real historic carachter and time's Sicily. The decline of such a talented artist remains a mistery to me even after your beautiful video.

Thank you for this series. Though Cimino gets all the blame for the end of New Hollywood’s artistic freedom of directors, the beginning of ‘80s saw personal projects by New Hollywood architects Bogdanovich, Rafelson, Penn, Schlesinger, Friedkin, Altman, Mazursky, Ashby, Ritchie, and Lumet all fail at box office or not even get released. Mike Nichols was still in his self-imposed exile, Peckinpah was in another kind of exile, Malick went hiding, and of course Coppola had OFTH, and DePalma’s Blow Out was also a financial failure. This isn’t a comment on the artistic value of any of the individual films by these filmmakers made in 80-82 (some I think are criminally underrated) but the times and business were changing, and I think they used Gate and Cimino as the scapegoat to change how films were made, and what people expected from Hollywood.
