Have Christian Bale and Martin Scorsese ever done anything together?

I was obsessed with it! Now watching it as an adult it holds up just for nostalgias sake. Is it a good movie? Maybe not but I guarantee I’ll watch it whenever the chance presents itself. And then I’ll immediately play super Mario bros 3 for days afterwards.

I stand by this to this day; The Godfather is the absolute greatest piece of American cinema in history. It isn't debatable; there is no other film as incredible, influential, or widely well received as The Godfather is. The behind the scenes trouble at Paramount while it was being made is also legendary. This film was destined to fail, and against all odds it succeeded. Truly lightning in a bottle; 2 is also great, but it pales in comparison to the original. While some would argue that it has a richer narrative, I would argue that making the movie much more political for 2 alienated some of the audience that truly loved 1, and detracted a bit of the sheen.

This one was in hard rotation on my 90's-kid TV. Had that mother on VHS. That powerglove blew my mind. And as a Dinosaur Kid™ I loved the giant T-Rex building.

Yup. I remember it well.
It had the first appearance of the Nintendo power glove, super Mario Brothers 3, and Mario flying with the raccoon tail
The red head from T2
And Fred Savage
What more can you ask for

Didn't actually think that it "sucked" initially, but the first 30-45 mins of 'Memories of Murder' are so silly (and that's on purpose). I was like "wth, this is all so ridiculous lmao". But what follows after that is sheer cinematic brilliance. It's one of my Top 5 favourite films of all time. This is the only movie that comes to mind wrt your post right now. 'Parasite' is dirt compared to 'Memories of Murder' (both are directed by Bong Joon-ho)

Yep, the Nazis never rise to power so we fought WWII against Stalin instead.

My dad wasn’t happy until my mom (cuz her hands fit in it) tried it and said it didn’t work very good.

I wonder how many parents got angry at their kids when the kids played the Power Glove for maybe 5 minutes and then stopped playing it.

Barbarian. The first half of the movie it was on track to be my favorite horror movie of the year. Then the second half happened and it became my least favorite horror of the year. Such an original premise that was ruined by the supernatural horror elements that were thrown in during the 2nd half. It didn’t shock or surprise me, it took me completely out of the movie, and they never got me back.

P$80 for the worst peripheral device I have EVER purchased in my life.
But boy oh boy, 8 year old me thought it was the absolute best.

This already happened. Twice. Damon starred in Eastwood's film Invictus and co-starred in his film Hereafter.

Reply to Any good historical type movies? Like Mudbound, Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Wolf of wall Street, and The highway Men? by dino_niggets
For immersive and historical check out the excellent Penny Dreadful, and also Taboo. Carnival Row is also good if you like some fantasy aspects.

Reply to 'John Wick' Changed Movies Forever by PooPooRichardson
The John Wick franchise is utterly insignificant to the history of film.
This is something a 14-year-old might say.

To me it would be Downsizing, when it started the whole concept was pretty interesting, but as the film progresses it starts to go down and down...

I'd like to see Ron Howard direct a big budget sequel to Ice Cream Man starring Clint Howard

Was my favorite movie as a kid . I remember seeing it the theatre . While it gets panned as a glorified Nintendo advertisement I really think it has a lot more going for it . Jimmy is clearly suffering from very serious PTSD and finding the outlet of video games let’s him express himself and relate to his brother and others. As a kid I loved the video game scenes but as I got older I started to relate to Christian Slater and the guilt he felt for what happened and then Beau Bridges and dealing with the divorce . The cast does a great job as well . Did anyone else take anything else from the movie ?

Matt Damon and Clint Eastwood would be interesting

Reply to The Godfather movies are so relaxing to watch. by AndyKaufmanSentMe
I love the character Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), especially in the first one. I'm guessing he's intentionally made less likeable in Part 2, along with Michael getting the same treatment.
"Oh, that was an accident, Kay. (slightly laughing at the charred car frame) But nobody was hurt."
