A classic scene from The Room

 

That is bad!

I watched the Disaster Artist not knowing anything about it, or The Room.  It's a great film in it's own right and an utterly bizarre story

That's what kind of makes it so intriguing, the only other example I can think of is the film Ed Wood and Wood's 1950s sci-fi 'classic' Plan 9 From Outer Space.

Just watched

THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND.

Absolutely brill. 

Haven't seen that but will check it out, have seen King Of New York though, a classic 90s Abel Ferrara film with a stellar cast including Christopher Walken, Laurence Fishburn, David Caruso and Wesley Snipes.

Goodfellas is very over rated

A decent film but wouldn’t watch it again.

Theres some great scenes but overall I found it a bit lame.

You are a minge

Zeit nicht meshugge Rudy? Goodfellas along with The Godfather, Scarface, Brighton Rock (1947), Angels With Dirty Faces and Casino are some of THE best gangster movies ever made.

Just thought, why Spider doesn't like Goodfellas, 

Joe Pesci being an annoying shouty twat puts a dampener on it for me, Ray Liotta is great in it.

Heat never gets much praise, I think that is a great film. If you don't like annoying shouty twats then what about Pacino in Heat? I dunno, Pacino is the star of Heat imo, he's just better at being a shouty twat than Pesci

Do I detect a slight hint of a disliking for Joe Pesci?, :lol:!!!. True he did get typecast in Goodfellas, Casino and Lethal Weapon 3 & 4 to name but a few films. 

Heat is definately a classic and surprisingly one a few occasions that Pacino and De Niro starred in a film together. (The other was Godfather II but not in the same scenes).

Watched an interesting film with Pacino in recently, Cruising directed by William 'The Exorcist' Friedkin.

Pacino plays a cop that goes undercover in the New York gay scene in the late 70s to catch a serial killer (Supposedly based on the real life 'Body in the bag' killings).

Useless factoid, one of the actors who played a medical practitioner in The Exorcist was later convicted of the murder of a gay man).

Pesci is absolutely brilliant in everything I’ve seen him in.

Hes shouty because he’s playing a real life character

Tell you what that Kevin McAllister was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Pesci tried to break into his house in Home Alone, so he ordered a hit on him in Goodfellas and Casino, pmsl!!!
