Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted November 24, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2016 The Big L is one of the greatest, most quotable movies of all time and āYou donāt go out looking for a job, dressed like that do you? On a weekday??ā is one of the best delivered lines in cinema history. Millers Crossing is fucking wonderful and Iām going to watch it again tonight coz itās in my head now. I think the only Coen Brothers film I didnāt thoroughly enjoy in some form or other was Inside Llewyn Davis. Iām obviously not intelligent enough to understand itās āgeniusā, but it can fuck off.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted November 24, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 24, 2016 Scott! Llewyn Davis might be my favourite Coens film, I loved it! Had the soundtrack on in the car for weeks afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Ahh Branquey. Your taste in films is beyond impeachment. I quite liked Inside Llewyn Davis but found it ponderous and aimless at times. Baffled as to how it got so much acclaim though. Ā I didn't like Intolerable Cruelty that much and I hated Burn After Reading, but those lads are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I lovedĀ Burn After Reading, only because whilst it seemed to be about not much, the little touches like the sex chair and the stuff the CIA guys are doing, really stood out and made me laugh maybe more that I was supposed too. Then again I like awkward films like that anyway hah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I liked BAR as well, the Malkovich Swinton coupling had me in hysterics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted November 24, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) I hate Llewelyn Davis and a serious man. Hail Caesar was great. Raising Arizona, Fargo, O Brother where art thou, No country for old men, Big lebowski would be my top 5. Ā The well received smart comedy I didn't get on with was The Royal Tenenbaums, I've tried but I'm just not into it. Ā Anyway, actual movie news about a comedy everyone agrees is great, did you know a sequel to the Goon is coming out? Here's the first trailer Ā Ā Ā Edit* I like Burn after Reading as well, unless I'm forgetting something I think it's the only thing I've enjoyed Brad Pitt in.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted November 24, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2016 I'm with the great D-Mal here. Ponderous, aimless and dare I say, haughty. You're a great man, Jenny, and a man on here I love, but we'll agree to disagree on Inside Llewyn Davis. I didn't know what to make of it. I thought I was watching a Paul Thomas Anderson movie that he lost interest in directing after a few minutes. I've never seen Intolerable Cruelty so can't comment and I forgot all about Burn After Reading which the first time I saw it, I felt went to absolute shite after 30 minutes, but on subsequent viewings, I actually think it's alright. Goodfellas is the big one with me and my mates though. Everyone I know thinks it's a masterclass, whereas after a rake of confused viewings, I still think it's absolutely shit.

Mr.E Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 O Brother where art thou?, Ā is my favourite film of all time. Love the the overall flow of it, along with the undertones of "The Odyssey" as wellĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can agree to agree on Goodfellas instead, in that case. I've tried with it but I'm just not seeing what everyone else (except yourself as well, now) is seeing.

WyattSheepMask Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I liked Burn After Reading too. I laughed so fucking much at that sex chair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Eddie Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Big Lebowski is tremendous. The mere fact that Devon had to come out of hiding just to assert this fact should tell you how true it is. Ā However, the version of just dropped in played in the film is not the best one. There's another recording (Still Kenny, of course) with some fantastic guitar noodling. Worth finding if you like the song. This one... Ā https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U91M09X2sZE Ā Wonderful version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Continuing the PTA theme, I almost felt like Inherent Vice was a bit like his Llewyn Davis in that way. Another one I just don't get the total adulation for.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 24, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2016 Boogie Nights wins the PTA competition, doesn't it? Possibly my favouirte ensemble film ever and John C. Reilly is amazing in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
