The King of Comedy

I guess the greatness of The King of Comedy is supposed to be that it is brilliant because it's entirely cringy and off-putting. All I can say is ugh. It is my least favorite Scorsese film

Next thing you will be telling us is that you don’t like Andy Kaufman.

Andy Kaufman was great

:)

Agreed that this is Scorsese's best. It's certainly the one that's most stuck with me in the years since I saw it.

"You should only get cancer, I hope you get cancer!"

I think it's a great film too, one of Scorsese's best. IIRC John Huston was really put off initially but came around to it when he realized it was confronting a lot of uncomfortable truths that public Hollywood figures like himself usually try to ignore - that a lot of aspiring filmmakers, actors, etc. who want to make it in Hollywood are attracted to fame just like a zealous fan. And as good as All About Eve may be, King of Comedy comes closer to how ugly, deranged and pathetic that attraction can be.
