  1. Probably A Knight's Tale, but both need a rewatch. The Exorcist vs The Godfather Pretty straightforward, that one...
  2. Not often that I show up in this thread, but Oppenheimer is in the conversation for Nolan's best film. And I know he has a pretty solid body of work, but having seen all of it (except Tenet, and arguably Interstellar [viewing was impaired]), I am pretty happy to say it's up there. I don't want this to prejudge anyone's viewing, of course!
  3. She's third-billed in Seven. Whether or not her role in that film is a showcase is a separate argument, but it's at the very least more than a 3 second showing of turning around and exclaiming "Peter!"
  4. And you can't really call her contribution to Hook to be much of anything.
  5. Yes, you can help influence not only the film Pandy & I use as the joint review, but the homework we assign each other to plot the range of their career. As announced in Episode 95, our subject will be Gwyneth Paltrow. Pandy & I will take an executive decision on what makes the joint review by 22 July 2023 so get your ideas in before then!
  6. I think you, of all people, would know the extent to which Disney sanitises the source material of their animated film adaptations. Zeus raping everything in sight just wasn't going to fly....
  7. Sorry, too long since I've seen either. And you presume correctly! In Bruges vs Some Like It Hot
  8. Consider the episode plugged on the next HAA! Granted, it hasn't been edited down fully yet, but by jingo when it gets published...
  9. Good show! Only half-listened to Midsommar to make the spoilers easier to forget if I ever get round to watching it, but a round-table on The Wicker Man is always welcome!
  10. Robocop vs The Truman Show Who Framed Roger Rabbit vs The Thing Hot Fuzz vs Psycho Dr Strangelove vs The Manchurian Candidate Jaws vs Alien The Third Man vs Rear Window
  11. Haven't seen Hunchback in a while, but I'm going to say DKR. Not by much, but the acting and effects make up for the defincies in the story.
  12. Psycho vs The Truman Show Hot Fuzz vs Robocop (original) The Mummy (1999) vs LOTR: The Two Towers Let The Right One In vs The Thing Brazil vs Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
  13. All of the above, plus: Monty Python's Life of Brian vs Ghostbusters Hot Fuzz vs In Bruges The Wicker Man (original) vs The Dark Knight
  14. Empire Strikes Back is also an unfinished story; I reject that line of criticism. Yet to see the new Spider-verse film.
  15. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
  16. Heat vs The Shawshank Redemption Jaws vs The Third Man Citizen Kane vs Some Like It Hot
  17. The Truman Show vs Robocop (the original, come on now....)
  18. The Godfather Part II vs Raiders of the Lost Ark Who Framed Roger Rabbit vs Hot Fuzz Psycho vs The Thing
  19. The Lion King Haven't seen Avatar in full
  20. M vs A Clockwork Orange Specifically summoning @Dread & @Koete
  21. I never gave them a moment's thought before, but the sass and the design of the eyes do not scream "virginal" to me.
