    I don't think I've hated many films more than I hated Stalag 17. The tone is so off (is it a comedy? an adventure? a realistic drama about prisoners of war? It's neither funny, suspenseful nor disturbing/touching), and the characters and acting are intolerable. :D I'm really surprised that it's generally so well received.

    I spent time with Jerry Lewis' first wife(a story in itself), but one of the things I had to ask her was about "The Day the Clown Cried", the project that basically scuppered Jerry Lewis' career as a film director. The film was not finished. Jerry had a completed script and filmed enough to assemble a rough edit, but had one of his breakdowns/heart attacks or something causing him to walk away from the whole thing. His ex-wife contended that if the project had been completed, Jerry would have swept the Oscars as director/actor. I've seen clips without sound from the shoot, but it was mostly "Making of" footage. For a legendary rumored project, it has only really been an open topic for the last 25 years or so. Jerry's ex-was dumfounded that I had even heard about the project as it was a topic that the JL camp deliberately avoided(until Roberto Benigni's Oscar). The only person I know who definitely saw the assemble footage was Harry Shearer. Maybe one day AI can finish it.

He’s never put anything in the cart. He’d finish the song and get back in the limousine. The Ralph’s employees were used to it. “That just Bob”. As if that weren't weird enough. Some customers were spending the day at my record store and went to Boston Market in Burbank. While standing in line, they noticed, much to their amazement that Bob was in line ahead of them. Surprised, they asked him "Hey, aren't you Bob Hope?" and Bob responded "Get away from me you fucking moron". Thanks for the memories Bob.

    In Brando's 1979 Playboy interview, he told the story of what finally broke Kubrick. They'd been batting the script back and forth for weeks, and Kubrick finally said, "Marlon, what's this picture about?" and Brando was thinking, Now you're asking me?!? So he snapped back, "Stanley, it's about the $300,000 dollars I already paid Karl Malden to wait for us and not accept a different movie!" Kubrick says if that's what it's about, I'm in the wrong picture. He walks out. Brando is told by the producer that if he can't find another director in a week, the picture is dead. So Brando nominated himself and made the movie.

But it is not until Solaris that he discovers his "thing" and then perfects it in Mirror, Stalker, and Nostalghia. The "personal" change he undergoes when making a film not in Russia (for Nostalghia) begins to affect his judgment in that movie, and he has completely lost his way for Sacrifice. this is my too-brief summary. Meanwhile, the "Russian medievalism" in Gherman's "Hard to be a Good" is utterly staggering. It's like the opposite of Tarkovsky and completely full of its own genius for that very reason. Khrustalyov, My Car! is super-really good too. Gherman was getting better and better as he went along. We're fortunate that Hard to be a God was completed.

  • @losttribe3001
    @losttribe30013 жыл бұрын

    So many great movies mentioned here and in the comments. I love Seven Samurai, but I’d place Harakiri above it if we are to talk about samurai films. In the modern era, I’d add Unforgiven, No Country For Old Men, and, a very close to the top for me, Children of Men. I agree with Citizen Kane and Seventh Seal. I would add La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc (1928)...there is something about Reneé Jeanne Falconetti’s acting in that one... And guilty pleasure? I get a kick out Drop Dead Gorgeous, Deadpool, and anything by Mel Brooks. I’m curious as to what some of your guilty pleasures are?

    Couldn't agree with that list but i can see why TG would like them. I've seen Blow up any 40 times (yes really) and Groundhog Day about 20 times and Space 2001 around 20 times. I loved Its a Mad Mad world (seen it about a dozen times). Fargo - about ten times. My guilty pleasure is Under Siege. Brazil, Time Bandits and Baron Munchausen are very high on my list. I've seen the 1974 Day of the Jackal many times and i never tire of it. Amelie is one of the few foreign films I adore. Can i be forgiven for really liking Jailhouse Rock? Can i also be forgiven for loving A Fish Called Wanda? I know Hail Caesar was a bit of a flop and I can't stand Clooney, who I think is a miserable fraud, but I really liked that film on so many levels.("Would that it were"....). Who couldn't love The Producers or Young Frankenstein? If you don't like those films, you don't have a pulse. There's about 12 movies. They're not too highbrow and obviously, you can see I like comedies. Nursery's films like the Seventh Seal and Citizen Kane just depressed me. I go to the movies to be transported to a happy fantasy world. Shindler's list, whilst wonderful is too upsetting. Why do people want to see these films? Isn't they're enough sadness in the world?
