Watching Pulp Fiction here for the zillionth time and it can't be overstated how great it actually is. One of my absolute favourites and I'm not mad about Tarantino's stuff generally because it's so overblown but this one was bang on

"Pulp Fiction" is one of the greatest films ever made. It's nearly 30 years old now and still feels timeless. I reckon that I must've seen it at least one a year since it came out.

Ditto "Reservoir Dogs".

Yeah, watched it very recently with herself and it really is great. Was never a big fan of Reservoir Dogs back in the day, but I suppose I'd be up for a re-watch and reassessment now, 20 odd years since last time.

Agreed there, brilliant movie and I'd put it that it's a classic now. I watched 7 psychopaths last night which is in a similar vein and hadn't seen it in years. Top notch!

I must give Reservoir Dogs another go, haven't seen it in ages. Haven't seen 7 Psychopaths either must see if it's on anything here

"Seven Psychopaths" is on Disney+.

Cheers, I have a login for that. Keep forgetting to look through it too

War Of The Roses last night. Great film. Love most of Michael Douglas stuff.

Guilty by Suspicion

One of Robert De Niro's lesser known films

[astfgyl]

Just watched Night of the Creeps there from 1986. Another dodgy box special that I'd never heard of but it was good craic

[Cailleach]

Night and the City
City by the Sea.

Two more Robert De Niro movies. There not among his best films. I'll be watching 1900 and A Bronx Tale next.

Don't think that I've seen De Niro's "Night & The City" but I've seen the version starring Richard Widmark.

Is "City By The Sea" the one with James Franco as Bobby D's junkie son? Not great - not terrible though.


If you're still on a De Niro binge you could do worse than "Greetings" and its sequel "Hi Mom" - two early Brian De Palma films - both are comedies (after a fashion) made in the late '60s so there's a lot of "Hey maaaaaan!" and "The war in Viet-fuckin'-NAM!" stuff.

"Jacknife" is worth a watch too.

This has put in mind for a re-watch of "Mean Streets". (I presume that you've seen that?)

Didn't enjoy City by the Sea at all

[Pentagrimes]

Just read Jonas Akerlund is making a GG Allin biopic. The only logic follow up to "Lords of Chaos" I reckon

I'd be more interested in a GG biopic.

On a De Niro buzz myself lately King of Comedy is on my list for tonight. Absolute classic.

Far too many there I've not seen. But of those I have, I'd happily watch any of them again, so I'm thinking it must be a pretty good list overall!
