How many names can you remember without looking them up?
Also: the movie benefits massively from rewatching. It's very beautiful and you can appreciate a lot of the film making and goofs and choices when you don't have to focus on whats going on.
Hah, a fair few. Vito, Luca Brasi, Tessio, Michael, Sonny, Carlo, Kay, Appolonia. I could totally see a rewatch being good. Have to watch the sequel first though, and I guess the disappointing third movie (although at least I’m prepared for it to be bad).
I've only seen it once like 10 years ago, should I rewatch it?
also what other well-known/classic movies have you not seen?
Depends how young you were I guess, if I watched it when I was 17 I would wanna re-watch it now because I would appreciate it on a greater level.
Off the top of my dome? Haven’t seen Apocalypse Now, Goodfellas, Heat, Clockwork Orange... also haven’t seen a bunch of those early classics, like Gone with the Wind or Citizen Kane. I only just watched Blade Runner for the first time a couple of months back, generally speaking I think I’ve seen a fair chunk of those mainstream must-see movies.
Can recommend Heat, really good heist movie that had the interesting idea of showing the criminals as being a tight-nit family with more honor, tact, and planning than the cops chasing them, who are alcoholic scuzzbags who can barely keep their personal lives together
Shoulda wasted Waingro when they had the chance
Fucking boring movie, which seems to be kinda relevant currently. Citizen Kane is not a bad movie and worth a watch, even just to get the origin of quite a few memes.
Honestly yeh it’s pretty damn good. Obviously the famous moments are saturated through the culture so you kinda know about em, but the general plot was still new to me. I watched the restored version and it looks great, doesn’t look nearly fifty years old. Pacino is so young!
