Not only that, but the pinnacle of film in general. North by Northwest is the only film I've seen that has even come close to matching this film's greatness, but even that is second to Yojimbo. I think this is the only movie that I've watched more than twice, it's honestly perfect in my eyes. Does your Dad not like reading subtitles?

![]() Tried to introduce my Dad to this movie since A Fistful of Dollars is one of his favourite movies. Unfortunately I think because of that he was bias against this right from the start. ![]() Love the Dollars Trilogy but personally I rank this movie over the spaghetti western remake. I think for me this is the pinnacle of the samurai movie. I know Seven Samurai is typically regarded higher but although brilliant with its length its quite a long winded movie. This one is packed into just under two hours and is tremendously entertaining from start to finish.

It's a great but dark and twisted as hell movie. The bad guy is also played by Choi Min-sik who as you'll know is Oldboy's lead and was also in Lady Vengeance. The lead is played by Lee Byung-hun who has also been in a number of other Korean films I've really enjoyed, including A Bittersweet Life and The Good, The Bad, The Weird, both of which also come highly recommended.
I'm hoping to eventually see Parasite before long.

I get that feeling with most of the Korean cinema I've seen. Have you seen I Saw the Devil (2010) by Kim Jee-woon? I think that one may even one up these on the twisted front.

^The vengeance trilogy is absolutely brilliant. It´s not only the twisted and quite unpleasant stories (which always leave me with a feeling like I´m watching something I shouldn´t), but how they are filmed is a stroke of brillance too. The colors and the settings are incredible...
...and I agree that Oldboy is probably the best of the three, but they are all brilliant. Edited by UMUR - 18 Apr 2020 at 2:10am |

![]() ![]() ![]() I actually think all three of these movies were better on second viewing, with Oldboy still the main standout. Love the Arrow Video covers too.

Actually, I've been listening to a bit of Acid Reign in the past few days. Their song Motherly Love is all about Norman Bates.

![]() Better than expected actually. At least more worthwhile than the remake movie.

I haven't been posting every movie here lately but I have gradually been working my way through the Studio Ghibli films on Netflix plus one on blu-ray. The ones I've watched recently are:

Over the last three days: two re-watches in preparation for the third.
![]() ![]() ![]() The whole trilogy had abundant writing issues, from rehashing the glories of the original trilogy to leaving too much unexplained, but it's all pretty fun I think, including #9 (which for all people like to rag on Ep9 is actually the lest rehashed movie of the 3).

![]() Not sure if this is considered a TV movie or just an extra long episode, but whatever. The guest stars acting isn't that great here which does let it down, but the core cast are brilliant as ever. Laughing out loud right through. Apart from better guest actors the only thing they really got wrong was Holly's return. He was only in the first act and the climax of the movie and spent all of the former reset to factory settings without any of his classic personality.

Completely silly, but I still had a few primitive laughs now and again
