"The Godfather
*close thread
1 or 2 ?"
The proper way to watch em is to go chronologically with the boxset so the opening scene is in Corleone with Vitos mama losing her shit 
3 don't matter |

"Oh yeah even though I absolutely adore Tom Hardy but the original movies are hard bet"
My favorite is 2 but then I got very close to Tina Turner during a few gigs when the stage was set up like the Thunderdome and she was dressed as her character singing"we dont need another hero "

My favourite film is "An American in Paris" and I think everything about it is perfect! The seventeen minute ballet at the end 
Maybe a bit out of left field but in terms of intricacies and the like I think "The Truman Show" is genius in how it's shot to be honest!

Funny in a way how sp many of the greatest movies so far in the thread are older. I do think k despite new cgi and all movies arnt as good as years ago hence all the remakes.
My ultimate favourite is casino and goodfellas, allt of peolple shit on godfather 3, its a good movie in its own right but nothing on the others (yes I like gangster movies ha)
Other honourable mentions are
Remember the titans
Fury
The reader
Cast away
Gold
Blow
The imitation game
Officer and a gentleman
And no list is complete without top gun |

I love cinema, know my movies and it changes a lot but for pure cinema and without thinking.
Empire strikes back is the greatest movie that ever been made.
Close the thread now please and thank you.
Also Shawshank is a wonderful film but wasnt even the best film of 1994 that was Pulp Fiction |

The Shooter movie is so slept on. I went in expecting too much cheesy Mark wahlberg moments, and although there's a few it's a great fucking action movie |

"Look at me ma,, top of the world,,, have to say you are not going back far enough for your good movies "
Totally agree on that one. Some of the best are black & white. Edward G Robinson in double indemnity is superb.
Jack lemon in some like it hot as well. |
