I am very surprised by your list. OUT OF THE PAST should top your list because it is the ultimate ROBERT MITCHUM movie. The only one on your list I haven't seen is : Fitzcarraldo (1982) though, I have seen parts of it but not in the mood for steamy jungle tortured genius movie... that said, the only one on your list I really dislike is HIGH NOON. I mean, really, TWO bad actors as leads? Looks only go so far, and I generally dismiss any "acting" either of them had done. You haven't seen it? Good for you.

My list:

SALO OR, THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM (1975)
SWEPT AWAY (1975)
THE NIGHT PORTER (1974)
LAST TANGO IN PARIS (1972)

I'll have to come back, I know there's others I must see...

However many you've got, you've got a nice list to look forward to. Of your list I urge you to start with either one of these 2, they both have laughs and cringes and are ALWAYS entertaining just great movies:

What Ever Happened To Baby Jane
The Great Dictator

I've seen all of these films. GONE WITH THE WIND is overlong soap opera nonsense.
CITIZEN KANE put me to sleep 3 times. 3!
I agree with Hallow's about WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?
It's got Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. In a horror movie!

Knives Out (2019) - Over-rated, frankly what is the point of all that?
The Fifth Element (1997) - forgettable
Blade Runner 2049 (2017) - looks good and who cares
Parasite (2019) - HAVE NOT SEEN IT
The Godfather: Part II (1974) - If you like the first one, somehow this "sequel" is just as good.
Tombstone (1993) - yawn
Goodfellas (1990) - shrug; kinda essential how could you miss it (unless intentional)? I see it all the time on TV... with commercials.
No Country for Old Men (2007) - What the...? Unusual in numerous ways. If you see any, see NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN .

I rarely pick movies because of an actor's involvement. Mitchum is a plus, but I'm more interested in it because it's a noir directed by Jacques Tourneur with an excellent reputation.

I honestly think anyone could do without SALO. It's a curiosity, but I'm pretty sure you will hate it.

Rev. Powell · May 31, 2022, 08:07:34 AM

I think the people who are putting CODA on their lists can scratch it off, unless you have a particular interest in deaf culture. Very predictable pandering-to-the-audience stuff you've seen a hundred times before.
