What is The Last Movie You Watched?

[Stavros]

sorry bra. Ive seen like 30 movies with better car chase sequences than that crap.

30? Go on then, list them, but please don't bother with the Fast and Furious crap. Three to consider: Bullit, The French Connection 1, and Driver, because in all three the chase sequences are not just chases for the sake of some spectacular driving, but fit with the story, with the added factor of the stunt driver in The French Connection being the driver of the 'other car' in Bullit. Driver has the merit of being superbly edited and photographed with a stunning sequence in the warehouse at the end where the cars do what humans do in films set in similar locations. There are some fine sequences in the Bourne trilogy too -but 30 better? Hmmm.

I just watched Love, Simon last night and it was so good.

Smokey and Bandit.

These are some of the top of my head. I'm sure if I keep thinking I will remember more than 30.

[Stavros]

Mad Max (and all in the 'franchise'), Smokey and the Bandit, Death Proof - three films that can be dismissed as the rubbish that they are. To elevate such dross to the status of film would be to assassinate culture iteself.

Again, I come back to my point: why is there a car chase sequence, does it add to the narrative of the film or is it just as excuse to show off someone's driving skills? When you think of that you will understand why Bullit and Driver are in the top quartile and why some of the films on your list don't make the cut at all.

[sukumvit boy]

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. New from the Coen brothers ,Premiering on Netflix.

[Stavros]

BlackkKlansman (Spike Lee, 201
Spike Lee has turned a real life story into a feeble attempt to link events from the 1970s to contemporary America. He would have been better advised either to film the story, or make a documentary, in fact I think he could make an incendiary documentary that would get people talking in a positive way.
The script is poor, the acting laughable, both from the wooden Adam Driver to the cartoon Klansmen who are mostly either retarded or unhinged. Spike Lee is such an irritating director, loads of talent, but often lacking in focus, or too obsessed with his subject.

[Budweiser]

Spike Lee is a fucking moron and an anti-white racist.
