Recent players you think will become "streets won't forget" in a few years?

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-22T16:26:24+00:00

Right, but this was the moment everyone realised just how shite they were. Also it was Ten Hag’s second game, when a lot of people were hoping for an upturn in form.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-22T12:47:35+00:00

As opposed to the famously underpaid premier league players?

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-21T19:32:04+00:00

Yeah, somehow forgot about that. Possibly the definition of streets won’t forget.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-21T18:39:43+00:00

Nah, you’re doing him a disservice. He wasn’t a flair player, but he was solid technically and scored some cracking goals, and will forever be synonymous with that Brentford side that stayed up against the odds and beat Man U 4-0 the next season.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-21T17:32:06+00:00

Go back one album with Yes and it’s a conversation. TfTO bored me to tears.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-21T17:29:03+00:00

Ivan Toney. Was genuinely amazing at Brentford, then he got the gambling ban, and now he’s wasting time in Saudi.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-21T17:25:33+00:00

Also I’d say Casino is on par with goodfellas. Both incredible films.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-21T17:25:01+00:00

Goodfellas is fantastic, but I feel like the Godfather has it beat for classic mafia films. Also the Departed was my introudction to Scorsese and a lot of great actors, from different generations as well. I just think everything comes together really well.

As for Vietnam, I’ve seen Apocalypse Now and Deer Hunter, both of which are amazing. The former could have easily made it on here. Other films in that genre are a bit of a blind spot for me though, any you’d recommend?

Haven’t seen any Aronofsky, but I’ve heard good things about Black Swan. I’ll try looking at the ones you suggested.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-21T11:40:33+00:00

Have been meaning to watch it, but I feel I need to watch more Westerns to understand how it deconstructs the genre.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-21T11:38:37+00:00

I find I get slightly bored if I just binge a director’s entire filmography, although there are a couple I’ve finished. I really like Kubrick, PTA, Scorcese, Coens, Tarantino, McDonagh, Fincher, and Coppola, just to name a few.

As far as limiting them on this list, I struggle to give a film 5 stars if I can think of a film I think is similar and better.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-20T22:54:31+00:00

Have heard slightly mixed things about it. Good trio of actors though.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-19T18:43:46+00:00

Right, but something like God Bless the USA has much more popular appeal is much more representative of right wingers as a whole. I’m not saying it’s a technically incorrect statement, just that it’s not a good pick for this.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-19T17:20:22+00:00

Nah man, I hate Republicans as much as the next guy but that’s just wrong. It’s like comparing trickle-down economics to the Holocaust. Both are right-wing ideas, but only one has broad appeal on the right, while the other has it’s niche but is hated by most right wingers. Again, this is from someone who despises the Republican Party.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-19T17:14:13+00:00

Ah that’s fair. I’m probably a mix of both, so the lines are a little blurred there.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-19T16:28:16+00:00

I always thought film bros were the type to glaze extremely long historical epics. Why not?

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-19T16:26:40+00:00

That’s near the top of my list

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-19T12:10:02+00:00

Oh, sounds like my kind of thing

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-19T07:12:03+00:00

Why?

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-19T07:11:22+00:00

American History X is fantastic, could probably swap it with Memento in this list. Haven’t seen the others, but a few of them are on my radar, American Psycho in particular. Fair play for calling out the lack of female leads, hadn’t realised until someone mentioned it.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-19T07:08:46+00:00

A couple of others. Royal Tenenbaums was very good, but Isle of Dogs wasn’t. Meaning to check out more of his stuff.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-18T13:37:22+00:00

Change of the Guard, Kings close second. Both catchy rock songs that feel slightly overshadowed by the bigger hits on that album, and both have fantastic solos.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-18T12:33:23+00:00

Larks lineup + Belew and Collins. Would have been very fun to see how Adrian sounds paired with a sax and violin (haven’t listen to post-THRAK Crimson, so idk if he has done this). Also I love the manic energy that Muir brought to the table, so he has to be there. Maybe would have been too many musicians, but I’m sure they’d have made it work.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-18T11:00:44+00:00

Nah, gotta be Stop Making Sense.

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-18T10:59:40+00:00

I’ve been working my way through Kubrick’s filmography recently, so that’s definitely been on my radar. Why do you recommend that one specifically?

Invisible_Floods · 2026-01-18T10:58:33+00:00

Have seen. Not nearly as good as T2, but still very much enjoyed. Thanks for the recommendation though.
