    Watched the Three Colors trilogy, and really enjoyed all the movies. I actually liked each one a little more than the last, so my order of preference is Red > White > Blue, but they were all very good. The character Joseph Kern in Red was so well-written, and the humor throughout White was really great.

    Still on my watchlist. Maybe a good resolution for 2025 to finally watch these.

    They were on my list for a long while, too, and I highly recommend the movies. I heard so many others say that Blue was the best one, so I was surprised to find myself enjoying both White and Red more, even though Blue was still solid. The dark comedy of White was just wild, and Red was just a perfect movie in general. Eventually they’ll have to make it to my collection; I’ll absolutely want to be revisiting them all.

    First time viewing. I'm quite partial to some of Carpenters films, and this one is amongst his best (The Fog, Escape From New York, Vampires, They Live, and of course Halloween).

    It's a great film. I put it in the same category as The Warriors in the 'street violence' genre. Carpenter's awesome theme functions as a genuine ear worm, but it's fantastic. You may want to give the remake a try, although to no one's surprise, it doesn't even come near the original, but not for a lack of trying, I'll give them that.

    First time?!!! Wow!

    Absolutely love this film! It was my first proper grown up film when I watched it late on British TV at age 15..

    The action, the dialogue and that cool music..all brilliant!

    Anyone else around here enjoy the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movies? Just added them to my collection. They’re quite fun and nostalgic for me, particularly the first one.

    Yeah, first time seeing it. It was one of those films that I have often seen others talk about, but I hadn't taken the time to see it myself. I was a little cautious, in case it didn't live up to my expectations. It did, oh it did.

    @DarthDimi I will have to look up the remake, and see how it stacks up against Carpenter's original.

    Not mentioned so far, Director Carpenter relates Assault on Precinct 13 to Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo as inspiration.
