it is the single most boring "great" film I've ever seen.![]()
No greater movie has ever been made, or likely ever will.
I have only seen it one other time, and it was on a small 4/3 TV, with people distracting me.
Had the time to really give it my attention tonight, and I am absolutely floored how amazing movies can be. What a absolutely transformative experience.

Absolute masterpiece - along with Bladerunner, these films influenced every space sci-film that came after.![]()

Don't get me wrong, I like it as well. But it is boring.The ambiance, prop work, and cinematography are so richly realized that I loved every “boring” second of it.
I was fortunate to read the book prior to seeing the movie. The 'transfer/transport/travel between realms' section at the end of the movie was much better (to my imagination) described in the book. Still...the movie is one of my favorites. And that Score....![]()

Hey....gotta put 'Alien' in there......'nough said.Absolute masterpiece - along with Bladerunner, these films influenced every space sci-film that came after.
For a sec thought you were referring to the 1974 'The Night Porter'. A classic. YMMV.Watched The Night Porter on Netflix last night.
Don't waste your time. Terrible low budget film with a slow moving boring plot. Protagonist is meant to be on the autistic spectrum but he's depicted as a weird creep who literally lives in his mother's basement and creeps on women and acts like a robot.
Just awful all around and flat out insulting to anyone on the spectrum themselves.
Wow. Liked it also. Thanks for the tidbit!Rewatched Thank You For Smoking. Amazing film, super underrated satire of lobbyists without being in your face or preachy about it at all. Very well written story and characters. Hadn't seen it in years so enjoyed it almost as much as the first viewing.
Fun little tidbit about that film. It was having trouble getting funding from Hollywood because they didn't like the ending (won't say more, don't want to spoil) so Elon Musk jumped in and funded it and got an executive producer credit. Indeed I noticed only on this latest viewing, after hearing about that, he shows up on the opening credits.
Liked it also....thought it would stay with the short story 'The Cold Equations' which I read as a teen. DO read the story...short and incredible.Watched, and very much enjoyed ‘Stowaway’ on Netflix UK. Very good sc-fi thriller. Very tense in places. Great acting.
True, forgot Akira as well.Hey....gotta put 'Alien' in there......'nough said.

All very subjective. It's generally always been #1 for me, at least until recently.A good movie, but not quite that good.

To each his own. That's quite a wide range of tastes, IMO.It's subjective. Correct. And I love that movie as well. As I do think The Texas Chainsaw massacre from 1974 is a masterpiece![]()
I’m just super disappointed with the number of Dolby vision, 4K and HDR content available to watch on both Netflix and Amazon Prime video.
True. Apple TV+ store has a lot. I purchase all my movies there nowadays.
