That’s a fanmade poster. It was posted on Reddit last week. The font isn’t even the official font. Ryan must’ve really liked it.

I will happily wave the flag for Hudson Hawk. A cat burglar caper featuring Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello warbling show tunes and facing off against Sandra Bernhardt and Richard E Grant’s incestuous evil siblings? What’s not to like?

We've got Macauley Culkin. We've got someone climbing up from a cliff. Could this be the Good Son sequel we've all been waiting for?!

I watched Heaven’s Gate after I caught an online snark review (Cinema Snob maybe? Don’t recall), and thought it was a miserable slog to get through. Then I found out that Cimino blew up horses with dynamite for a battle scene.

I feel like Netflix’s plan for remaining alive in an arena with Disney+, Hulu, and everything else is to become the international service.

this is an old article, whose only old comment claims to be from 1969

I wonder what movies would make the list were this article written today. Josie and the Pussycats, below, I assume is a given, but what about the others.

I would’ve said this 15 years ago and I’ll say it today: Joe v. the Volcano and Heaven’s Gate are both masterpieces in their own right. Joe is joyous. It’s not a so bad it’s good movie.

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are both fantastic and have great chemistry (you can see why they were immediately paired in a more traditional rom-com) and there’s a million little scene-stealing cameos from guys like Lloyd Bridges and Abe

I got my first office job the summer of ‘05, so this may have been one of my first articles for procrastinating. The good old days...

Now playing

Ah, nothing like commenting on a 15 year old article! Anyway, I would put forth this:

In this age of timidity, safety, sequels, remakes, and focus-group testing...”

What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here? 2005?

This is weird. And I got so excited when I saw the article contributors.

Anyway, I wonder how much “One from the Heart” influenced Baz Luhrmann? If so, he spotted what Coppola missed - pacing and vitality - because, Christ, that film feels like a slog.

And why wasn’t it updated to include Cats?

Holy shit, this comment was from nineteen sixty nine, for fucks sake that’s an antique, how could you just delete that, you barbaria
