i had this feeling they would date badly but maybe im wrong?
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:25 (twelve years ago) link
yes and no
I feel like the datedness is no less distracting than a Mann movie, bc the action/story is so good
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:26 (twelve years ago) link
the datedness is very endearing, the offness of the film stock, the soft edges, 80s sound palettes carried forth into the 90s

the doves
wonder where those doves are now

some hong kong action movies are a little too wistful for me. tons of wist. like, 70 minutes of grieving and 20 minutes of gunplay.
― scott seward, Monday, 20 February 2012 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
plus honestly, singing + doves in the killer works even better now bc of the datedness.
now go rewatch them!!

Doves made it over to America, definitely appear in Mission Impossible 2, can't remember if they turn up in Paycheck.

Cuaron is goodecades, and That Little Princes is one of the better kids' movie of the last couple decades.

i voted for ronin too, out of a sense of community really, its oblique nonsense is sort of endearing but ive only watched it once

driven by the quest of the Keaton character
My point exactly. That scene is pure thrill ride and all about stunts, but we agree that it isn't just a ride within the context of the movie. The second half of CoM is full of content and builds on central themes of the movie. (I don't want to get too specific sue to spoilers.)

CoM is such a fucking amazing movie.

Die Hard and T2 for sure, what of the other three?
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 20 February 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link
Distant xpost: Sorcerer is pretty good, and pretty faithful, but I don't think a widescreen version of the movie exists right now. If any home video version exists. Awesome Tangerine Dream score, good location shooting, nice and cynical and grimy, like the original.
The number of viscerally negative reactions I've encountered to Children of Men, akin to the spite that's met other fave films of mine such as Tree of Life, AI or There Will Be Blood, in a sense underscores its greatness.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 20 February 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link
Die Hard, T2, Beverly Hills Cop 3 ...
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 20 February 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link

Rambo: First Snub.
I really dislike it! the premise is dumb! I just don't want everyone to hate me, also I forgot the more specific reasons why I dislike it.

i didnt see com until like 2010, and it surprised the hell out of me. i didnt know about its reputation as a dope movie, i just remembered the lame trailers when it came out. didnt vote for it, think of it more as a sci-fi thriller, but still a legitimate choice unlike blade runner because at least its viscerally exciting.
― RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Monday, 20 February 2012 18:59 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, no Rambo, no Top Gun, no Lethal Weapon... not like we'll be short of the 80s or anything, but I wouldn't have expected it going in.
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 20 February 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
Someone post a recap list plz
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 20 February 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
felt for sure that top gun would have placed. guess ILX has no love for tom cruise. sucks!

― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 20 February 2012 19:02 (twelve years ago) link

I don't have any particular love for Top Gun or the Rambo franchise tbh
Lethal Weapon franchise either

Top Gun could still place? I guess chances are slim though.
