I’m not a huge movie fan, but I want to broaden my horizons a bit. I’ll offer my list (that I’ve rewatched so many times I’m a bit tired of them):

  • Young Poisoner’s Handbook

  • Full Metal Jacket

  • Life of Brian

  • Holy Grail

  • Sunset Boulevard

  • Curse of the Golden Flower

  • The Nightingale

  • Downfall

  • Amadeus

  • Once Were Warriors

  • Dusk to Dawn

    Yeah, I get what he’s saying, but I agree. I think we’ve lost a lot in this post-nuance world. It’s kind of like saying you wouldn’t watch American History X because it’s got nazis in it.

      The racist slurs didn’t affect my enjoyment of it, they were just shocking. As in, they shocked me because I wasn’t expecting it. The thing that makes me not want to watch it again any time soon is the musical aspect, and just the over-the-top silliness. It was fun to watch, it’ll probably be fun to watch again at some point in the future, but I’m just not desperate to watch it again soon.
