Is Godfather 2 meant to be the best one?

Only seen the first.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Different. Just as good. More epic. The first only takes it because there’s literally not a frame wrong or wasted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Godfather 1 stands on its own as a classic.
Godfather 2 takes the first movie and goes deeper.

Both are excellent movies but I prefer Godfather 1.

It was not my thing IOAG, but thanks for the suggestion.

No worries, man. Yeah, the dog n the barracuda are great, but there are plenty of other scenes I remember.
The coffee pot and the glass is a touch of genius, the mum walking down the garden path to greet visitors, the house with eyes, the kids playing tricks on passers by, the house dog running off on walkabout with the strays. Then there's the use of music (beautiful title theme) and sound (the mum's dress is hilarious), and there's some beatiful camerawork too - the many different views as Mr Hulot walks up and down from his flat in town...

It's years since I watched it now, so those are just a few details that spring to mind, but generally speaking I also love the whole allegorical contrast between life in the artificial, constricted modern middle-class suburbs vs the freedom and spontaneity of the old town life. The absurdity of modern life was a recurrent theme in a lot of his later work.

I'm also a big fan of screen clowns (Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd, Laurel & Hardy, Benigni), of which Tati was perhaps the most beautifully subtle.

Judging from your list, I don't think it's really your cup of tea though, which is fair.

I also thought the woman turning the fountain on and off as guests came and went was funny, and I did lol the time she turned the fountain on when the guy knocked on the door, and he heard the fountain go on and shouted "no, it's only me" and she turned it off again. Very good.

i have 2 films left to watch, then I can confirm my reserve 100.

Reserve 100 in case one of the starting 100 gets injured or cancelled?

yeah I guess so

I wonder how far out of touch a classic has to be with modern values for it to be completely ostracised.

very interesting question.

some were so out of touch even at the time so as to ostracised. david lean's oliver twist was banned in the states because of alec guinness's horrifically racist portrayal of fagin (which is just beyond cringe to watch anyway). he had to be the centre of attention and steal the scenes from the young lad, and in doing so got the film banned.

I am VERY glad I decided to give The Adventures of Robin Hood a proper chance

after some diversions, finally the final film of my review awaits...

Which film and where's the step-by-step commentary of every scene

Au Hazard Balthazar
about a donkey

Where's the 4za cut

Seriously hope 4za's ok though

The Adventures of Robin Hood 1938
The Wizard of Oz 1939
The Third Man 1949

Also very impressed by:
The Blue Angel 1930
Shanghai Express 1932

4za hates Empire Strikes Back, so he's probably got that on replay. Let's hope Stringer can help him with his vocabulary but that may require pigs to fly.
