I saw The Fly with my mom when it came out in "86. She cried.

Exactly. Infernal Affairs is a tight, terse thriller and The Departed is a bloated, showy ramshackle. Of crap.

The studio forced the upbeat book-ends on the film

Thief has the better soundtrack

No, of course not. You were a dumb kid.
The scariest thing I ever saw was THE COMMERCIAL for It's Alive!

A really fascinating historical document that cut everything that was good about the short story it was based on. Carpenter got it right.

I hated that rat.

They are exactly equal, but Sorcerer has the killer Tangerine Dream soundtrack.

The Blob remake is better than the original too. That's an inspired programme

The best heist ending is in the original Italian Job, with the truck teetering on the edge of the cliff, the gold at one end and the crew at the other, and Michael Caine saying "Let me think…"

You'd think, right? Just me and you I guess.

No. They botched the ending.

Check out the Hong Kong version, Black Cat, with Jade Leung and Simon Yam in the Bob role. It's even better.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better!
And Infernal Affairs is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than the The Departed!

I self-triggered my own PTSD by posting that

We Didn't Start the Fire

Thanks a lot, MOTHERFUCKER, I heard that song in Kroger A GODDAMN WEEK AGO and it still sings me to sleep every night and wakes me up in the morning. Thanks for refreshing it in my TORTURED BRAIN

I'm behind everyone else watching so no one will ever read this but just in case, can anyone out there ID the music playing behind the flashback scene right after the Elegia funeral? When Joyce talks to Will about his wizard drawing? Is sounds really familiar but I can't place it.

Magic Cop is my favorite
