I thought that was what was implied, but I decided to stay in my lane and comment on the movie year 😬

Sense and Sensibility, Heat, and Toy Story, really covering all the bases!

It’s always been one of my personal favorite Coens, made in a lab for me (grew up watching Ben-Hur and sword and sandals movies like that)!

That’s fair, he was an S-tier character actor, but character actors are only recognizable if you’ve seen a certain amount of movies from the era, like the stable of famous character actors from the 80s/90s that are household names for the people who grew up on those movies

The “I don’t like black and white movies/movies from before 1970” crowd (though Robin Hood is in color!)

You’re in for a treat, he’s one of my favorite directors! I’ve seen every movie except his first two.

All fantastic! The first two are definitely in my top 5, and Last Temptation is up there as well!

One of my favorite Scorsese movies, and favorite movies overall!

Hell yeah

That looks like a delightful Unkempt Joseph

You’re in for a treat! Whale really gets to shine, and the story is more complex, drawing more from the original Shelley novel

Both are great examples of horror movies providing an outlet for outsider art as Hollywood moved towards stricter Hays Code enforcement

I still prefer Nosferatu overall, but Browning isn’t far off, and you can see the German expressionist influence (Freaks is also excellent!). I think I have such a love for the original Frankenstein story that it’s tough seeing it barebones like in Whale’s movie, but Bride brings in more Shelley!

I would agree with this! Have you seen Bride of Frankenstein? Technically a sequel, but I think it far outplays the original (my understanding is that the original suffered from excessive studio notes, while James Whale had more of a blank check for Bride)

I only watched it this year, but Claude Rains is one of my favorite actors from that era, all banger performances, and it was delightful seeing him get a chance to lead a movie!
