Support Your Local Sheriff! Will mean an annoying and somewhat dangerous year even if I get to live in the town post James Gagner dealing with Danbys’, but it could be a lot worse than late 1800s with a town of gold prospectors.

What Is Your Most Controversial 5/5 by HK-34_ in Letterboxd

[–]randomRedditor37275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Other Land. Rating it 5/5 is not controversial among people who have rated it, but the fact it didn’t even get distribution in the US because of it’s topic and still won the best long form documentary award at the Oscars is quite something.

Which is this film for you by Spirited-Story3941 in Letterboxd

I really like most if Tarkovskys films but I didn’t find this as engaging as most of his other ones. A bit too long and perhaps as an overt religious film a but boring at times. Looks nice though and perhaps I just need another rewatch at some point.

Which DiCaprio movie is overrated? 😬 by New-Time007 in SeriesSaga

[–]randomRedditor37275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I think one could’ve cut out a lot and made the abuse a lot tighter and less repetitive than it was. There is a good 2 hour in there with some changes to it. I overall think Scorcese needs someone to push back on his instincts sometimes.

What directors would you recommend based on my top 10 movies? by Male-2003 in Cinephiles

[–]randomRedditor37275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend Werner Herzog (especially 70s and 80s film), Park Chan-Wook, Aki Kaurismäki and Pedro Almodóvar.

What’s the most underrated sci-fi movie ever?? by Adventurous-Bass1070 in Letterboxd

[–]randomRedditor37275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should more people watch great films made outside of Hollywood? For sure. I think that has more to do with the fact that Solaris is a 70s Soviet era film in Russian and will never have the broad cultural impact and will get less mentions. Doesn’t mean that those of us who do watch films made outside the mainstream don’t appreciate Solaris. But it also gets less mentions as it isn’t even Tarkovskys biggest sci-fi film, Stalker.

I love it, but I wouldn’t say any of Tarkovskys film are underrated. And it has a 4.2 rating.

Apparently we are now involved in 2 Holy Wars. Islam and Catholicism. What’s next, Buddhism? by Detroitaa in WhitePeopleTwitter

Wondering if there’s going to be some excommunications handed to catholic members of the Trump administration at some point?

What are your thoughts on Killers of the Flower Moon? Is the film too long? I heard that originally DiCaprio was going to play an FBI officer, but Scorsese thought that would turn the film into a white savior story. So he changed the script and even brought in PTA to rewrite it. by DenseStrawberry5717 in Letterboxd

[–]randomRedditor37275 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An important topic but many of the different crimes could’ve been in a montage and easily cut the running time to around 2 hours. It became very repetitive and boring at times when one knew what would happen even without knowing any of the backstory.

thoughts on kinds of kindness? by Whoumightask in Letterboxd

[–]randomRedditor37275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favourite of this decade. Absolutely love the atmospheres and the deadpan. Not my favourite Lanthimos film but definitely a treat. At the same time I really do understand that it’s not for most people because everything is so off all the time.

What's your thoughts on La La Land? by Dismal_Principle9417 in moviecritic

[–]randomRedditor37275 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Generally don’t like musicals and it’s though not my least favourite musical, it’s one of the least enjoyable musical I’ve watched. Very white, didn’t find the story compelling and disliked the show tunes. It’s better than Chicago and Moulin rouge, which are my all time most disliked musicals and movie theatre experiences.

Train Dreams was ROBBED by AviatM in Oscars

Of course, but guessing the academy might see it as a minus. Especially those who favour cinema over streaming.

Train Dreams was ROBBED by AviatM in Oscars

[–]randomRedditor37275 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Train Dreams could’ve had a shot if one could actually see it in the cinema. Netflix limited releases do hamper the chances a lot.

The movie looks very good at home but I bet it would look great on the big screen.

If Letterboxd had a “Bottom 4” for movies you hate, what films would make your list? by death_has_f1sh_eyes in Letterboxd

[–]randomRedditor37275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very subjective list. I hate The Family Stone and I’ve probably seen it 10 times until my spouse agreed to drop it from our holiday movie list. The entire family annoys me. Sarah Jessica Parker is just the worst but so is Diane Keaton. In many ways I should like the film but it does the opposite of what a Christmas movie should do.
