I'm picking the screenplay runner up as Hell or High Water

This has potential for another categories but I'm picking it here.

This movie is incredible. It's got everything you want from a western and everything you want from a movie set in the modern day. Great story, acting, scenery as well as runner up worthy screen play.

The scene with the car chase and machine gun is excellent.

"What don't you want?"

The film has action, drama, tension and humour.

See it now if you haven't already

Was looking to take this myself...wasn't expecting it to go this early.

1999 was a very solid year for movies.

Been a long day and don't have time to do a write up right now. Don't want to hold things up. I'll do the write up tomorrow.

I take Saving Private Ryan for opening scene.

While we anxiously await for eb to post his write-up yesterday, let’s hear what noted film critic Peter K. Rosenthal has to say about this “iconic opening scene, which forever redefined the scope and ambitions of the war film genre.”

Here’s the full uninterrupted scene, which will enable you to experience the gripping, harrowing realism.

best movie from the past that doesn't hold up: citizen kane

long considered the best movie ever made. stunned audiences for decades for how brilliant it was.

today it's hot garbage no one can even sit through. clumsy, pretentious, and boring

best movie that IMDB scores 6.5 or less: Mudhoney

Saw this one in one of them thar "adult" theatres more than 50 years ago.
Now, the trenchcoat crowd takes their movies very seriously and they always sit in stony silence but Russ had 'em laughing out loud to Mudhoney.
And Princess Livingston won Best Supporting Actress for this one (well, I think so, if not she was ROBBED!).

****, got some writing up to do tomorrow. Didn't think this would go so fast.

I'll take HAL-9000 for movie villain.

And The Blair Witch Project for IMDB 6.5.

They can be platonic. No sex or lust required.

heist movie: reservoir dogs

incredible writing, directing, acting, storytelling

great characters. first movie to ever have criminals having mundane conversations... like just arguing about tips, totally mundane, but a captivating scene just cuz of the characters, setting, acting, and writing.

and gotta love any movie where a cop gets tortured acab

great music too

harvey keitel in his prime
steve buscemi in his prime

Yeah, it’s all been downhill for Steve Buscemi since his 1992 breakout role.
