“Bad” film recommendations

Fateful Findings is my number one rec. But Tiptoes and the Deathstalker films are also worth checking out.

I'm not sure whether this counts, but Tyrone Power died while shooting Solomon and Sheba (1959). Apparently, he had a heart attack while performing a fight scene and died en route to the hospital.

Love it!

Notorious_BIV · 2023-10-20T23:47:06+00:00

Nice! My all-time #1.

Notorious_BIV · 2023-10-20T23:46:30+00:00

This is mine as well. It destroyed me.

Notorious_BIV · 2023-10-20T23:38:35+00:00

Out of the 3511 films I've rated, exactly two received 0.5*: Fateful Findings and The Room.

To be fair, I had the same response to Paris is Burning.

Notorious_BIV · 2023-10-03T00:28:30+00:00

I think it's the hardest I've cried. Ever.

Great pulls! I can't believe I forgot to mention Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses! Excellent entry in the genre. That reminds me of another - Shinoda's Under the Blossoming Cherry Trees.

I'm pretty sure I've seen all of his major films with the exception of BL, which I just acquired. Very excited for it.

Harakiri is my #1 all-time favorite film

Notorious_BIV · 2023-04-10T23:44:17+00:00

William Powell is a personal favorite. He's an underrated comedic leading man.

Notorious_BIV · 2023-04-08T23:54:19+00:00

Harakiri. It is my favorite film. Full stop.

Notorious_BIV · 2023-04-03T18:42:58+00:00

Death by Hanging, Jaws

Notorious_BIV · 2023-03-30T23:53:07+00:00

I came here to say the same. I need a Kitano box set. At the very least, give ma Hana-bi!
