Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The Big LebowskiNot only endlessly quotable but also endlessly uplifting. While there may be several Coen brothers films that are more highly regarded, or awarded, this is probably the one which will live on the longest.Certainly several cast members play their most famous roles here, with Bridges who is in pitch perfect condition as the stoned lay about The Dude and John Goodman who is simply hilarious as Walter.One of those films thats still as funny the 20th time you've seen as as your first.**** out of ****One of my favorites. Bridges is as good as he is because he's not even playing a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I would love for Brides to actually be The Dude!Brilliant cast alround actually. So many memorable minor characters.

DreamTheater 131 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 HILARIOUS !!!! Ben Stiller marries a seemingly sweet innocent girl... on their honeymoon her true self appears when she turns in a psycho with quite a few mental issues. If only he had gotten to know her a little better first.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 99% comedies usually are to be fair.These days, I'd agree, but through the 90s and 00s there were a lot of memorable ones. The Heartbreak Kid is literally forgettable in that I forgot it existed until I saw it mentioned here. If you like Farrelly humor, go for it, but don't expect There's Something About Mary!

Reily. If you want a "good" Polanski "stagey" film, try "Death And The Maiden".All four Carnage actors deliver great performances.And I love Death and the Maiden. Great film, great score.

Sweeping Strings 2,352 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Picked up a Mad Max trilogy boxset in Sainsbury's for £10 (the only one I'd previously seen in its entirety was the third, and that was almost 30 years ago); plan is to watch all 3 ahead of Fury Road's release next weekend. So ...Mad Max - well ... interesting. Quite a bit of the acting makes it apparent that most of the $400,000 budget went on making sure the vehicular mayhem was up to scratch, which (fortunately) it very much is.

DreamTheater 131 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I did like you and watched these a couple of months ago. I like the second and third Mad Max the most. The first one was a bit weird.Fury Road is the second most anticipated flick this year for me, after Star Wars. The trailer makes it look awesome as hell. Real live action stunt work.

DreamTheater 131 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 What's recycled? They're bringing back a franchise which has been dead and buried for 30 years.And make it look absolutely bad-ass while not giving into the temptation of cheap CGI eye-candy.Can't wait for this one, literally.
