One of the most relatable moments in cinematic history. Vying for top spot with this legendary scene;

It is Woody Allen-esque but that's why it's so good. Woody Allen's movies in this mold were amazing.
The entire movie is one big WTF.
Tobe Hooper was on fire from 1974 till 1986 (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Eaten Alive, Salem's Lot, The Funhouse, Poltergeist, Lifeforce, Invaders from Mars and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) one of my favorite director movie streaks.
Iconic scene.
If they had a fun childhood with some buddies then I don't see why they can't relate.
A lot of people have nostalgia for their childhood and this movie nails that reminiscing vibe.
It's truly insane. I didn't know what the hell I was watching when I first saw it, I was on the fence on whether I liked it or not but over the years and after subsequent rewatches I've grew to love it.
Yeah it's really grotesque and gory. The underground lair is an great setting and the chainsaw fight at the end is awesome (aren't all chainsaw fights?).
The cast was great. Caroline Williams as 'Stretch', Dennis Hopper as 'Lefty' and Bill Moseley as 'Chop Top' were all superb. Jim Siedow as 'Drayton Sawyer' cracks me up, shout out to Lou Perryman as 'L.G.'.
1. A Quiet Place (2018) - 8/10
2. A Quiet Place Part II (202) - 7/10
If you like Tobe Hooper's whacky side then you really, really do need to check out his Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel, I know you added it to your watchlist but I'm just reiterating how bonkers it is. I know you have a taste for crazy movies.
Eaten Alive (1976) walked so The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) could run.
I'll give him a <b>7/10</b>. Not the greatest actor but he's been decent in several roles.
He's a better director than actor. The Town, Argo and Gone Baby Gone are great movies.
Given this is her first acting role since 1987 (voice acting for the Pound Puppies animated show), it seems they really went out of their way to try get a F13 cast member to appear in the movie. I mean she's basically been retired since the bloody 80s, they had to have sought her out. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried get Amy Steel or Adrienne King first but had to settle for Taylor.
#MeToo.
Sadly I doubt the series will ever rise to the heights of the first two, not unless James Wan decides to direct another installment.

I liked the first two Strangers movies, the first is a solid home invasion horror and the sequel was a decent slasher but truth be told I didn't have a lot of hope for this project, still it's disappointing it seems to be a bust.
Purple is a relatively uncommon choice.
I had a friend whose favorite color was purple too. His favorite Teletubby was Tinky Winky who is purple, mine was Po who is red. Funny enough another friends favorite color was green and you'll never guess who his favorite Teletubby was, yeah the green one Dipsy.

I'm not one for putting all the blame on the director but this director has done jackshit. Sporadic TV episode work. This was their first movie. They clearly weren't up to the task.
Is this movie a trans hypnosis rogue operation being carried out by ANTIFA? Does the process of your TV glowing implant queer musings within your brain that make you want to pump yourself full of estrogen and chop off your ding-a-ling?
Be careful folks. Watching this movie could make you trans!
Jane delivers another scathing blow to cinema's obsession with profit. They're here to change cinema. We have a true artist in our midst.
<blockquote>I’ve been talking a bit about my work as revisionist, in a way. In the same way that there was the classical Western movie—you know, the John Ford of it all—and then 20 years later, when we looked back at those movies, we had complicated feelings about their cultural and political underpinnings. So we had this new wave of revisionist Westerns that were reinterrogating not only the myths of the American West as it had to do with politics and race and gender, but also the form itself and the way that the form was informing a Western myth that still very much was culturally relevant to that day.
<b>I think of my own work as maybe trying to do a similar thing but with a dominant commercial form that started with Spielberg and Lucas and has since grown into the Marvel clusterfuck of contemporary IP. My work is certainly working within those forms and playing with those forms, but is perhaps doing so from a perspective that’s also questioning or suspicious of those forms from inside of them.</b></blockquote>
