It is one of the greatest films ever made.

I think it is open to debate. The edge in the original, besides assured direction by Don Siegal, is really the intimate nature of a small town vs. a city. That makes the changes in people more heartbreaking.

I think both versions of The Thing are excellent in their own ways. Carpenter’s film is a paranoia fest, infusing aspects of Alien with Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The effects are still jaw dropping. It’s also incredibly well shot.

I think it’s every bit as good as The Haunting and The Innocents, as well as The Uninvited(1944.) It is a truly first-rate ghost film.

Dawn of the Dead is excellent. It’s certainly one of the finest horror films ever made, along with being one of the best sequels. I’d also say that film is also what is truly responsible for the zombie craze. Night of the Living Dead got that ball rolling but Dawn was really what cemented it.

This is a pretty excellent list of films. Some Best Picture winners were questionable (Cimarron and Crash, for example) but the suggestions here are fun. I’m not entirely against Bram Stoker’s Dracula like many here are. It swept the visuals that year for a reason. It’s incredibly stylish and as an operatic quality…

That is such a sad movie. It actually makes you sympathize with a situation that could come across as something irresponsible and emotionally mature. There’s logic and vulnerability there. They both seem like good people. They both have children and love them dearly. Few romances have acted in the way this one has.

Nothing compares to Rio Bravo, but El Dorado is a lot of fun.

Hawks mastered practically all genres. He has one of the most impressive filmographies of any filmmaker ever.

I wouldn’t switch The French Connection but McCabe and Mrs. Miller is an excellent film.

1939 was an insanely good year of truly high quality cinema.

Okay...what’s going on in the above picture. It’s from You Only Live Twice. I remember the scene. Look at the cat. He’s about to flip shit on poor old Donald Pleasance. Is Connery trying to calm the kitty? Look at the guy smiling for the camera. What an odd picture.

The only “awe inspiring” thing about this show is that someone is getting paid to write episodes like this. I mean, that intestine scene...oh man.

This was very drawn out and a very repetitive 90 minutes. The reviewer hit all the notes on why this was muddled and it was a tough slog for me. I think it was a mistake to kill the Carl character, not because I had any particular attachment but because I saw the character as a means of growth and because he was the…

Some of these are quite sensible. It’s nice to see Blade Runner get awards in the visual department. That film was my pick for effects and cinematography. Baby Driver won for Editing and I would agree. Dunkirk winning for Sound, also seems like a no-brainer.

The hilariously similar designs for the posters actually made me laugh.

I think it was one of the top films of the year and certainly deserving of a Bets Picture nomination. I’d also go so far to suggest that it’s one of the finest science fiction films of this generation and one of the few sequels to an older title that actually manages to continue it’s story in an organic fashion.
