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!
"Can't argue with a confident man...!"
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.
I love them, the UK gave us a Superman, and we gave them a Sherlock Holmes. Fair trade.
I enjoyed them in the cinema, but a recent watch they didn't hold up well! Love the music though!
Yeh mate, it's a film I watch frequently , I've upgraded it several times! And like yourself, me and my younger brother watched it on T.V. first, and I've loved it ever since! When I watch it now, I always watch out for the innocent, inquisitive driver who tries to catch up with Bishops car in an early scene, after spotting the camera. Carpenters low budget obviously they couldn't afford a reshoot!!
"Gotta smoke?"
One of the best trilogies I've ever had the pleasure of watching. White was my favorite, with Blue and Red very closely behind it.
Completely insane and utterly bonkers, but I love it.
Tim Dalton is awesome as usual, Max von Sydow chewing the scenery with much gusto, another Bond connection with the always enjoyable Topol, then there's also Brian Blessed being hilarious and stunning Ornella Muti who I could have crush on if I would be much much younger.
Full of atmosphere. Amusing action. Phenomenal sets. Amazing score.
FLASH! AHAAA!
Honestly, this film is bonkers but I absolutely love it. Crazy, trippy little film with tons of good fun.
Yeah, me too. It's like what would happen if every crew department goes bananas at the same time. Trippy cinematography? Check. Wild set design? Check. Why not a Queen soundtrack? Great! All writers and actors can also go crazy btw. Except you, Tim, act like a slightly jealous Robin Hood.
Great fun! And our man Tim is superb as always ( and why wasn't Ornella Muti ever a Bond girl?) What's most surprising, this the same Director (Mike Hodges) as the extremely gritty 'Get Carter'! 😮
Ahhhh, the cheesy fun old days of Flash Gordon, Starcrash, and Laserblast!
Director Robert Aldrichs nail biting thriller, with a great cast has ex army man ( Burt Lancaster) and three colleagues seize a Nuclear silo, and demand an unusual ransom. As well as monetary demands, and plane to freedom, he wants the President of the United States ( Charles Durning) to disclose secret information about the reasons for the Vietnam War! Aldrich, using an effective split screen technique, turns the tension up to 90 to a tense finale. An excellent cast, as well as Lancaster and Durning, there's Richard Widmark, Joseph Cotten, Melvin Douglas and Paul Winfield to name a few ( Even Bond stalwart Shane Rimmer is in there!) Really superb thriller, it holds your attention right to the tragic ending!
