I see.
Well said. That article was a joke, really. In fact, many of those titles I wouldn't even consider Baby Boomer movies. Most are more Generation X era.
That said, some of those titles , like Shakespeare In Love, I can see why the article might consider overrated. I enjoyed it the one time I saw it in the cinema, but have never had the desire to go back and re watch it.
This is one I very much want to see. Jekyll/Hyde is another of my favorite classic stories.
My favourite spin is in THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN. Although much better in Alan Moore s comic than in the movie.
What I find funniest is whoever wrote this piece didn't have the guts to put a by-line on it. Several of the comments say "we." Going on and on about the boomers is such a whine. Millennials get bashed a lot, but I don't see any need to trash the movies that come out now and point fingers at them.
If you're so thick to think The Godfather just ends with no closure and can't get the beauty of the moment then that says more about you.
I saw that at a horror fest at the now defunct Scala cinema back in the early 90's
It was abysmal.
Glad I made that post in the right thread, now. The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll & Miss Osbourne, now that was abysmal. So bad, I didn't finish the film.
I rather liked Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde....
I liked that one as well.
One of my favorite versions. Of course, IMO you can do no wrong with Martine Beswick.
When I was a kid the famous Fredric March version never aired on television, so I grew up with the Spencer Tracy remake. I like them about equally. The television version with Jack Palance is also a favorite of mine.
Objectively I'd say Taxi Driver is his best work, but Hugo is my favourite.
Yes I agree, saw the first one on a flight but haven't seen the second.
The "I know this is a movie" setup gets irritating very quickly.
I also am not that fond of the Hangover series but most of my contemporaries love them.
Yes, agreed.
Good to know I'm not the only one, regarding Deadpool that is. I know many people loved it, which is fine, but I couldn't make it past twenty minutes before giving up.
Other than the running High Jackman jealousy/crush thing, I couldn't stand the first movie; think I will make a date to skip the second one...!
I wanted to shoot myself watching this pretentious lump of molasses...
Also, Kevin Feige has a massive ego and practically directs every MCU movie. What ever happened to a single movie having a beginning, a middle and an end? In recent days, we can kind of blame this guy.
Only watched it once several years ago, but I liked it.
At the end, I was hoping for a fourth movie with Andy Garcia in the lead.
Still not to late?
Yes @Thunderfinger -- very controversial, my friend!
I'm not sure that the tears that gush from my eyes are from laughter or from the pain of what the series descended to.
I half-jest.
However, I've just stopped watching it; I know very well it exists, but it's on the top of my mental trash heap.
I was just writing to one of our forum members that my 17 year old son is exploring with interesting and diverse films (Kubrick being his favourite at the moment). He adored GF1&2, but was blown away by what a mess three was.
There are themes and ideas in this third that are interesting. But it falls apart in execution. It tried to be a GF picture-- the music and the look and the returning actors (good for Duvall to say no way).... but it feels more fan made than that passion that drove the first two...
Who knows? Andy García looks to have taken to the Francis Ford Coppola look, too:
