He certainly has. Looks like a professor.
He does! If they ever make a Francis Ford Coppola biopic, they know who to cast.
I thought his bastard-son-of-Sonny was the best thing in it-- he certainly had Daddy's temper and passion.
Huh... Food for thought @chrisisall ... What you said is both controversial, but not wrong either.
Mind. Blown.
If you want The Godfather Part 4, I recommend reading The Family Corleone, by Edward Falco. It's originally based on Mario Puzo's script for a fourth movie. It can act as a prequel to both the book and the movie.
On another controversial note, while I absolutely love The Exorcist, I Iike The Exorcist III even better.
I don t think I have seen the third, but I enjoyed the second.
Me too @GoldenGun
Exorcist III has real nightmarish quality to it and has one of the greatest scares in cinema history!
Just love George C Scott in it. And Brad Dourif gives an incredible performance. The climax was re-shot and is a bit OTT but it isn't detrimental to the film overall
I think you are the one being controversial here!
Nr 3 did not reach the sky high level of expetation set by the first film and (to a slightly lesser extent) the second, but ut is still a very well made film with some even great moments. It is the kind of slow thriller you watch dreaming of Sicily, it's drama, passion and beauty!
then I'm glad I lived up to the name of the thread...
Does CR and YOLT in 1967 and OP and NSNA in 1983 count?
I think they’re a bit overrated anyway. They’re fine but hardly masterpieces. I’ve seen them all at least once, except the last three.
So far I only feel I’ll ever rewatch Iron Man, Captain America: First Avenger, Captain America: Civil War and Thor: Ragnarok.
Sorry I forgot about those, but two of them aren't official anyway.
Same here, but I would replace Thor Ragnarok with Captain America The Winter Soldier.
I know. Just messing with you pal.
That said, Cavill himself was pretty decent in the role. I thought he looked even better in his Curt Swan audition costume than the rubbery "new" whatever he was wearing in those films.
He probably could have done well in a Superman film styled like Christopher Reeve/Richard Donner. He also might have excelled in a Superman film inspired by the film noir first season of ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN. That I would have loved.
This leads to my controversial opinion: TV's George Reeves remains the definitive Superman (Chris is 2nd for me). Not only did he have the best chemistry with his Daily Planet regulars, the concept they couldn't recognize him due to his disguise was always played off as a joke.
Lois was constantly trying to prove they were one and the same, with Kent just one step ahead. Unlike later Superman performers, George Reeves wasn't afraid to beat the tar out of his opponents, or even leave them stranded atop a snowy mountain. He was a bad a$$ when crossed. In addition, his Clark Kent was a tough reporter who only became mild mannered when he needed an excuse to leave so he could change into Superman.
In many ways Cavill reminded me more of George Reeves' Superman than Chris.
Which leads to my second controversial opinion: as excellent as Christopher Reeve was in his quartet of films, there were some scenes that were unintentionally funny.
The first film when he spins the world around, that shot of him screaming always made me laugh. The scene in SUPERMAN II when he gets pounded in the diner I find unintentionally hilarious as well. Had that scenario been shot in the '50's with George Reeves, not doubt he would have handled it differently and come out on top. The bully would have probably been played by B movie character actor Richard Reeves, and the diner would have looked like the one in THE KILLERS (1946)
. Cavill was great in a similar sequence in MAN OF STEEL.
Seems to me, in this day and age a character like Superman is extremely difficult to get right on film. He's either too goody goody or attempts to darken him don't quite work. Maybe I should look at MAN OF STEEL again and give it another chance?
Controversially, and admitttedlty as a non-fan, I have enjoyed Superman Returns more than most of the more recent “overhyped” DC and Marvel films.
It works for me. Anything in particular you disapprove of?
Agreed @GoldenGun I find Superman Returns far superior to the recent DC output and a lot of the Marvel as well.
I think it's a criminally underrated film. The plane rescue sequence is more exciting than anything any other superhero film has offered up in recent memory.
1) 101 Dalmatians.
2) The Fox and the Hound.
3) Aladdin.
4) The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
5) The Emperor's New Groove.
6) Pinocchio.
7) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
8) The Lion King.
9) Beauty and the Beast.
10) The Little Mermaid.
Honorable Mentions: The Jungle Book, The Rescuers, The Rescuers Down Under, Wreck-It Ralph, Zootopia.
What's controversial is that The Lion King is ranked so low.
The Lion King is my #1, but I love most of your picks - especially The Fox and the Hound and The Emperor’s New Groove, two often underrated films!
2 Robin Hood
3 The Jungle Book
4 Peter Pan
5 Fantasia
6 Sleeping Beauty
7 Pinocchio
8 Snow White And the Seven Dwarves
9 The Emperor s New Groove
10 Dumbo
I've always preferred the animated cartoons with Donald Duck, as he's really the most true and human character Disney's ever made, IMO. He has all the negative characteristics we all have, and he's flawed – in contrast to the perfect, but annoyingly boring Mickey Mouse, for example.
Other than the animated cartoons with Donald Duck, I also prefer the Looney Tunes and the Tom and Jerry animated cartoons to the Disney films.
