Mega64 Movie Club: Night Of The Hunter
Added 2020-06-28 16:26:41 +0000 UTCHave you heard of this one? 2/3rds of us hadn't, but Night Of The Hunter is considered a film classic! We dove in cold on this one and had a big discussion on what it did for filmmaking. Some great discussion!
Comments
came from two years in the future just to say: I appreciate Rocco's allusion to The Fun Machine Took A Shit And Died

2020-07-02 10:20:27 +0000 UTCI think all three give an incredible experience, but Citizen Kane and Casablanca have been parodied/referenced to death. Sort of weakens the impact.

2020-06-30 18:59:55 +0000 UTCI don't know. Casablanca is still an awesome watch. Bogart and Bergman have great chemistry.

2020-06-30 18:10:04 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite movies. It wasn't as influential at the time, but I think it's a much more impactful experience to watch in 2020 than Citizen Kane or Casablanca. I don't think anything from the 50s comes close without being directed by Hitchcock

2020-06-30 16:43:00 +0000 UTCWatchded it 3/4 years ago when Derrick recommended it for the first time. Highly enjoyed it. 4/5 shakers for me.

Neil Steffens
2020-06-29 22:24:43 +0000 UTCThank you SO much for recommending this! I immediately inserted it into my top 25 films of all time. This is black-and-white photography at its height. I defy anyone to press pause and not be admired by the composition. The story and performances match this to boot.

2020-06-29 21:49:38 +0000 UTCI could tell this was a Derrick choice.

2020-06-29 08:30:03 +0000 UTCI'm glad I got the opportunity to watch this, would have never seen it without Derrick's recommendation. I'm with Rocco, I had an impression that the 50s was largely innocent so it was very interesting to watch such a mature film. Cool as!

2020-06-28 23:44:00 +0000 UTCYes who framed Roger rabbit or how about dark city? Can you announce the movies you will watch on twitter so we can find them and watch ahead of time?

2020-06-28 19:20:53 +0000 UTCLove this movie. Robert Mitchum is honestly a classical movie monster in this. “Don’t he never sleep?”

2020-06-28 17:10:25 +0000 UTCNext week's episode is WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?
Mega64
2020-06-28 16:43:33 +0000 UTCWow! I would never have expected this to show up on Movie Club. Robert Mitchum is incredible in this.
