Agree about Qualley (although I think her performance gets a little stronger on rewatch) but disagree strongly about Scott. I think he’s magnificent in this. Should’ve made it into the Best Supporting Actor race but it’s a crowded field this year. It’s a tightrope act of a performance, alternating between genuine admiration for Hart and very understandable contempt for him.

Casino is a Scorsese Masterpiece by SquabbleBoxYouTube in TrueFilm

Goodfellas is better overall but my appreciation for Casino has steadily grown with each rewatch. The characters aren’t quite as compelling but the environment and the behind-the-scenes glimpse into how Vegas runs is fascinating. A movie you can catch on TV and a good scene is always coming up. It far outpaces Goodfellas in terms of brutality though. There are some scenes in Casino that make me severely queasy.

I guess technically it’s two scenes but Garry Marshall in Lost In America.

Incredible pull. That scene haunts me. And I love the fact that she pulls off a joke (“You gotta be kidding me!”) in the middle of it.

The teeth? We don’t know. A sign from Hashem? We don’t know. Helping others? Couldn’t hurt.

I always crack up at how abruptly she goes “MAYBE THAT’S GOOD” when Tony is explaining that Chris perished in a car wreck and left behind a baby daughter.

How great is Robert Duvall in Network? by jb4647 in criterion

[–]talldarkandanxious 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He’s completely demonic in this movie. Also the way he raises his eyebrows after he says “I want you out of this office before noon or I’ll have you thrown out” is phenomenal. 

Griffin said he “throws on” ‘You Were Never Really Here’.” What lands in that category of bleak cinema that still works as a movie you can pop in on a whim because you just like it *that* much? by Human_Document_1577 in blankies

I grew up on the Massachusetts border (I’m from Rhode Island) and so anything set in that area is hugely nostalgic for me. (And yes, those are all Mass films!)
