Episode 94: THE KING OF COMEDY

[Episode 94: THE KING OF COMEDY]

Yes. This movie is a masterpiece.

[Episode #91: LABYRINTH]

I voted yes. While the movie does have issues with tone and a few scenes fall flat, the technical brilliance of the production and the performance by David Bowie push it into the level of greatness.

 

I haven't listened to the episode yet but I imagine the screenplay of the movie was shredded. I feel that critics (who are writers), tend to put too much focus on the writing of movies and not enough on the acting or visual elements.

[Episode #88: A HARD DAY'S NIGHT]

Yes. A very important and incredible movie.

[Coming To America vs. Trading Places]

I choose Trading Places. It's substantially edgier than the almost fantasy world of Coming to America.

[Vs. Episode Suggestion! Metropolis vs. M!]

I would choose M because of Peter Lorre.

[Todd Solondz]

Happiness is his masterpiece.

[THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES]

Great film but Chopper is better.

[Episode 85: BOOGIE NIGHTS vs TWBB]

You either like band's early albums or you like their later albums. Boogie Nights for me....

[Tying into the "perverted cartoons" discussion at the end of the KIKI episode, I nominate Terry Zwiggof's CRUMB]

Crumb changed my life. I would love to hear it discussed.

[Episode 84: RE-ANIMATOR]

I vote yes. Although it may seem easy to make this kind of movie, it is not. This is a cream of the crop, top 1%, upper echelon film.
