My guess is 10% or less, Goodfellas.

If they ever make a movie called 12 Angry Heathers, I may have to change my vote.

i like goodfellas, but it's not weird/geeky enough to be a favorite (no outerspace monsters, no "artistic" pornography, no creepy dream sequences, no all-dwarf casting, no animation, no nine-minute static shots, no relentless zombie holocaust, no klaus kinski, no homemade WTF charm, no fourth wall in tatters, no pretentious art nonsense, etc.)
― contenderizer, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 19:06 (fifteen years ago) link
uh dude it definitely breaks 4th wall

it breaks the fourth wall, but not in the way i like. it doesn't sabotage realism to make conceptual jokes, or completely upend the relationship between the viewer and the film (like, uh, man with a movie camera or something).
― contenderizer, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 19:17 (fifteen years ago) link
breaking != in tatters

you have stringent standards for "favorites" eh?

the 4th wall exists for a reason, hopped up writers shouldn't go breaking it all willy nilly like it was a wet napkin

not so much that i have stringent standards, just that i've noticed what i like and what i don't. and i generally don't like gangster movies. and do like metafictional bullshitology

Every time Henry Hill breaks the fourth wall at the end on the witness stand, I can't keep my eyes off of DeNiro to see if he's moving or not.

his and paulie's eyes totally follow him in that scene
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 19:35 (fifteen years ago) link
does the shot on the doorstep at the end count as wall-breaking?
― Henry Frog (Frogman Henry), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 19:37 (fifteen years ago) link
yes. he asked for spaghetti with tomato sauce and they gave him egg noodles with ketchup.
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 19:38 (fifteen years ago) link
ball-breaking vs wall-breaking

He's not necessarily looking at the camera though. He could be disapprovingly watching his across-the-street neighbors loading up the station wagon.

ugh lame and tired, next you'll be asking for alienation effects.
MWAMC doesn't up-end shit. you get exactly what you want, propaganda for a boring-looking 'ordered society' with -- omg -- some laying bare of the device, as advertised in the programme.
what is disrupted by the bourgeois-academic canon-fodder classic MWAMC?

"alienation effects". jesus. MWAMC is funny and cool in how it moves you in and out of the POV of the camera, someone watching the act of filming, an audience member watching the filmed material, and someone watching that audience. i like that. i'm entertained by it, esp since it's executed so well, so suprisingly and so charmingly.
that said, thank you for coming on, once again, as some giant asshole with shit to prove.

i'm a sucker for games, paradoxes, mysteries and puzzles. i'm not trying to pretend it's any big artistic deal. i also like pretty much anything involving tentacled horrors.

I downloaded this 2 days ago to watch (again, saw it last 10 years or so ago) just because of this thread and the fucking image turned out to be just HALF of the movie, as I discovered 1/2 way in last night.

GoodFellas was the first DVD I bought. It's one of those flippers, where after Tommy shoots Spider and says to Henry, "Yeah, I'll dig the fucking hole. Anyone got a shovel?" it stops and you have to manually flip the disc over to see Karen banging on the apartment intercom of Henry's mistress.

ya... they came out with a non-flippy one but the quality was better on the first edition.
