Stephen Root was the principal, didn’t realize that until I saw it again last month.

Dude, that’s…
- Rutger Hauer playing Lothos
- Donald Sutherland as Merrick
- Luke Perry as Pike
- Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman) as Amilyn
Also, this is the first appearance for Hillary Swank who plays one of Buffy’s friends.
When this movie debuted, it was kind of an anti-Beverley Hills 90210 (series from the 90’s).
You have no idea how hilarious it was to see a serious actor like Rutger Hauer pop out of a coffin and play a violin like that in theaters at the time…my Dad was laughing his ass off.
It’s dated and filled with cheese moments and that’s part of why it’s so fun.
Ah, oh, ah, eee (kicks wall) ahh

Here’s how I’d start:
- Yojimbo
- Sanjuro
- 7 Samurai
- Hidden Fortress
- Throne of Blood
- Rashomon
Then mix it up afterwards

Reply to Best Actors in History: the ones who went to Acting School versus the ones who didn’t. What list do you prefer? by Dry_Western_2342
Best to not go to acting school is Mifune, change my mind.
Not only a gifted actor, but also a great swordsmen and talented marital artist.
Watch “Throne of Blood” and see the range on full display,

I still think it’s arguably the best movie ever made.
Place yourself in the time period when it released when you watch it, and think for a minute that none of the stuff he’s doing with the camera existed before him.
The makeup, all the actors came from stage never been in a movie before, Wells’ transformation into an old man, watch the scope of Xanadu, how the fuck did he create the depth/scope back then??? It’s sheer magic.
But all that’s superfluous, designed to trick you while Orson Wells spins a tale about a man of great power and wealth who dies alone.
The final quote wraps up the movie perfectly…
“He was a man who got everything and then again lost everything, Rosebud must've been something he lost or something he wanted but never got"
It’s a movie about what’s really important in life, what’s worth living for and the mistakes and regret of an old man.
I saw it at 9 and didn’t understand it, again at 15 and thought it had a message but was past it’s prime, again at 25 and it hit harder.
41 now, life is at the halfway point, shit hits even harder as you get older.
I hope you find it as intriguing as I always have…

Agree with your thoughts here except for “against type”
Kate cusses like a foul mouth sailor and is a firecracker in real life

I could barely get through the original cut and thought there’s no damn way Snyder cut would be better…
Whoo boy.
There’s a good half of that movie where I couldn’t stop grinning I was having so much fun

Hey…
Nothing wrong with those movies and I’d argue Catch me if you Can is one of DiCaprio and Tom Hanks finest.

Tree of Life.
It’s a spiritual successor to 2001 and it made me remember what it was like to be a child again.
The ending…amazing
It’s Malick, so people either love or loathe this movie, There is no in between and i find that amusing as well

One of them.
I really enjoyed Paul Reubens myself.
