GivenToFly Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Isn't that just like a wop? Brings a knife to a gun fight.I want you to get this fuck where he breathes! I want you to find this nancy-boy Eliot Ness, I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna PISS ON HIS ASHES! Two of the greatest quotes in any movie ever! (Of course in context. It's not just the words, but they way they're said and the scene as a whole.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I picked up M,the Criterion Blu-Ray release.Beautiful..just the best I've ever seen it.Quite happy to have this particular print in my collection.Nice. That's a great film. I re-watched Blade Runner for the third time last night. It just gets better every time I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the words, but they way they're said and the scene as a whole.)Yeah, those two performances were the only things worthwhile in this movie. Sadly, De Niro had only 5 minutes of screentime.I laughed so hard at this wimpy accountant who suddenly turns into Rambo and kills everyone at the bridge. Or the way Andy Garcia holds that baby buggy with one hand, while aiming at the mafia dude with the other, with the same facial expression everytime we see him. Or before that scene, where Costner looks frantically from the woman with the baby to the entry for minutes... I guess that should have built up anticipation? The music killed the whole atmosphere, so did Costners acting.The only pulsating scene was before Connery got killed, when the camera followed him. Other than that, no thanks. Oh, just so you know, I liked Snatch... Not more, not less. Edited January 20, 2011 by Spoon87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Riggs Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Is it just me that doesn't see what's so special about Robert DeNiro?I'm not saying he's a bad actor, but I don't get the "greatest of his generation" thing.Above average at best and one of the most uninteresting personalities I've come across in interviews,etc. imo.

GivenToFly Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 ^ Machete! It's been long since I've seen Cop Land, but I remember it was pretty good and he was in it, but I can't remember anything about his role.He was good bad strange in Jackie Brown.

But he's been such a useless whore for so long, he has damaged his reputation. Though he did win a few points back with his speech at the Golden Globes this year. Lith, he's good in Jackie Brown and uncharacteristically animated in Machete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then De Niro and Nicholson, but I would much rather watch Nicholson, loose cannons are always more fun. They're all in the same league, so the why is pure personal taste.

ITW 2012 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Pacino was the best of that generation. Angelica, Pacino was good recently in You Don't Know Jack. Edited January 21, 2011 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Pacino was the best of that generation. Angelica, Pacino was good recently in You Don't Know Jack.I know, it was amazing, he suddenly remembered how to act without shouting. You know who's really underrated as an actor from that period. Beatty. He was the shit, Bonnie & Clyde, McCabe & Mrs Miller, Parallax View, Shampoo, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 looking ahead it seems like Remakes are the future. Lethal Weapon remake seems like a ghastly idea. A decade of remakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Of the major 70s actors, Pacino (even though he's as much of a useless whore as De Niro nowadays, only louder),He's so incredibly charismatic he can get away with anything. And I think his post-1990 style has worked very well in some movies (especially Heat and The Devils Advocate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because some people don't think he should've got the Oscar for it, but it's very rewatchable and I think he's great in it. DeNiro could never pull off that role and still be likable in the end imo. Not to mention the great speech at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
