The first time I saw it I never really got it. Nothing seemed to happen and given the title it all seemed pretty un-mean. But it's a film that's grown on me since then to become one of my all-time favourites. The only criticism I can really level at it is that it's perhaps a bit too close to its influences at times. Bits of it are like straight up homages to the nouvelle vague and neo-realism which I don't think is as true of his later films. But there's a kind of punk energy to Mean Streets. It's like a defining statement. As though he never expected to make another movie again so squeezed everything he could into it. |

watched. well worth it, thanks for the link |
Man I love Half-Cocked. Not even for the bands or music really, just how amateurish it is.
![]() This movie was hilarious. Emilio just sold the part so well. There's just such a comedic nihilism there. And Harry Dean Stanton can be so confusing as an actor. He'll do a ton of regular movies, and then something like this. How does that happen? |

Admittedly, the Hunger Games. 6/10. I had never read the books at all so I didn't have any idea what to expect
|
![]() Good fun, not particularly scary and some of the acting was a bit shoddy, but the main girl and father were good. |
![]() Duck you sucker! how have i not seen this until now?! i mean, i love morricone and i love leone, but i never got around to seeing this one (i also have yet to see once upon a time in america) it was incredible, i really liked it a lot. |

I also find that my fave Fellini changes all the time but tends to be one of either 8 1/2, La Dolce Vita, Amarcord or La Strada. I love them all for different things. You're right, the opening of LDV is brilliant but my favourite scene in that film is probably the visit to the 'miracle' with the children or when Mastroianni first sees the young girl at the restaurant. But all of his films have those little, almost inconsequential moments which somehow stick with you: the snowball fight or the nun climbing the tree in Amarcord; Gelsomina performing for the children in La Strada; etc. |

Personally I think the film was faultless. I can't think of anything bad to say about it. |

![]() Great movie. Fans of Whedon will recognize him further exploring ideas he had on his tv shows. |
