Love your comments about these classics. No disagreements here! I have had a lifelong "crush" on Hitchcock's "Saboteur" because of its World War II overtones. I do understand it would not be everybody's "cup of tea", but there is so much in this movie that is so enticing about this movie. There is an innocence in this movie where there is a certain lack of ill will towards the spies, "because after all, they were Americans." The Statue of Liberty sequence is original, unique, and unforgettable. Great acting! Robert Cummings never came over so well!

I completely agree! Saboteur is brilliant, especially the ending. Thanks for watching!

Thanks bro. Subscribed to your channel. Great recommendations and I love indie movies and this movie The Proposition looks like it. It looks dark and gritty. Will definitely buy on 4k. I also have the same Drive limited edition and it looks stunning. I love the fact that you didn't pick all blockbuster movies but you paid attention to quality of the subject matter as well which most reviewers don't and if you like Godfather I advise you to buy the collectors edition. Its big and very beautiful and now they are releasing individual steelbooks too.

I'm holding off on the Hitchcock 4K sets (I've heard there are some video issues with them too) because I have a 14-film DVD set called the Masterpiece Collection. So far these two volumes of the 4K collection have constituted 9 of those 14 films and I want to wait and see if there will be a Vol. 3 that contains the remaining five (even if I think they shouldn't bother with Topaz 😂)

You're opinion of the 3rd godfather movie lines up with my own personal experiences. Everyone hated on the all female Ghostbusters movie but since I had never seen Ghostbuster 1 & 2 at that time i thought it was rather enjoyable. Even the Indiana Jones with Shia Labeouf since I hadn't seen any other Indiana Jones. I also consider Episode 1-3 of Star Wars my favorite because those were the star wars that were being released when I grew up and the older movies felt stale, even though I can recognize they were revolutionary for their time.

Hey Elliot, help me understand - when I watched Singing in the Rain, my enjoyment was severely hindered by the feeling the film was ‘punching down’ by making its villain a woman who wasn’t blessed with a nice voice. In a film about the transition from silents to talkies, it seemed to take a very unsympathetic view to those actors who were ‘left behind’ (very opposite to something like Sunset Boulevard). This has always made it hard for me to register it as an ‘uplifting’ film. Thoughts?

I thought Part 3 was an awful addition to the trilogy, obviously not the worst film ever made but it just felt like another gangster movie, funnily enough I’m sure Goodfellas came out the same year and ushered in a new ere for the Gangster film. In my opinion of course 😂
@asimler452 жыл бұрын
Bingo! Not the worst film ever, but a terrible one nonetheless. It’s so bad it cheapens the trilogy. Everything about it suffers by comparison to the other two films. And then you have Sofia Coppola in one of the most laughably bad performances ever. Adding insult to injury, the great Goodfellas came out the same year a few months prior and well you can judge for yourself.

"The Proposition" is one of the worst films I've ever seen. I vividly recall sitting in the theatre in anger at how bad it was when it was released. What a monumental disappointment it was, especially given the critical praise at the time of release. And "Godfather 3" was horrendous on a scale that absolutely diminishes the first two, which is why I will only purchase them separately. No Godfather boxset should ever include it. And you are incorrect in saying it isn't as good because it is compared to the first two-no, no, no. It is terrible all on its own, and there is no justifying any reason why it's not out of print. A mercy killing is indeed long overdue for this piece of unadulterated garbage.
