Honestly, Raging Bull has always left me cold. It's obviously great, but there's just something about it...

Some people are put off by the fact the protagonist isn't really a good guy, quite the opposite, he's just a stupid, violent jerk.

Pretty much how I've felt - I know it's great, yet cannot find myself invested in it while watching

The heart of it is not De Niro, it's Joe Pesci

Yeah, what about the scene when he sees him on the street so many years later and tries to give him a hug. That doesn't hug at your heart-strings? Great scene -- full of emotions.

I didn't say I didn't like it...I just don't love it. But it no doubt superb. I can say the same thing for Citizen Kane.

I admire Raging Bull and watch it any time it's on...but it's not one that gets me hard.

There.

Part of my problem with Crank might have been that I wasn't expecting anything quite THAT silly.

Pretty strange. Raging Bull is the one masterpiece I could never really connect to.

never feel that way, quite the opposite. doesn't help I have dozens of unwatched blu-rays. sorting my collection by genre helps. in the mood for a laugh, lets go comedy section!

Just watched Bad Ass with Danny Trejo.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1928330/

A movie based on the viral video of the Epic Beard Man:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/62...l-time-714001/

Can`t believe they made a movie about this. It is quite trashy and comical and you see that it`s a low budget production. But it`s worth a watch just for the lols.

5.5/10
