It's a mix. The three in my top picks are more traditional single storylines. Other like Night on Earth are interweaving, and then others like Coffee and Cigarettes are a series of vignettes.
I see K4 covered this...and I agree with her top two picks for you. I'll add that I flat out love Down by Law. Cast is in explicably fantastic (lurie, waits, and benigni) but it's Jarmusch's setting up gorgeous scenes with static camera and letting everything breath with the characters just inhabiting the space and time...kinda reminded me of slowly wandering through a museum and parking yourself in front of paintings that catch your eye long enough to take everything in....sometimes even longer. This pacing and approach isn't for people who just want traditional storytelling/action...iirc, Ghost Dog takes a more traditional approach in that regard.
A lot of good movies on there - good list. Except for A Ghost Story - I really disliked that movie.

Available on YouTube due to copyright being expired. Harold Lloyd is pretty timeless. I think I need to look for more silents on YouTube.
Same author (Michael Connelly) as the Bosch series available on Amazon Prime.
I liked it. Am going to watch again. The long takes, rat-a-tat dialog, and tracking shots make this worth a watch on at least a technical level.
Good analysis. I didn't think it was much, esoecially in a non pandemic time. But it has some nice technical aspects with camera work, lighting, art direction, editing that elevate it. Acting doesn't help, but it's worth watching these days...they try ####, which I appreciate.
I assume some of those shots were on a drone the way it was moving around outside and through the gym?
Not sure if you have HBO Max but they have maybe 15-20 Chaplin movies available, including many of his early shorts.Watched Safety Last! earlier.
I suggested to my wife watching The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) tonight in honor of Olivia de Havilland’s 104th birthday today. Rejected.
How they did it...
I have HBO Go through my cable instead of HBO Max. I should figure out how to make the switch though. I do like Chaplin — I own a handful of Chaplin’s Criterion editions on Blu-Ray (The Kid, City Lights, The Circus, and Modern Times).
Not sure how it works but it was free for me to make the switch. Just needed to register through the app (my wife did it so I don’t know the exact details)
E.T. was great, although my setup at home is so good that I enjoy this older movies as much there as in the theater. I'm going to the theater just to "help them out". My wife and I were the only ones in the theater for E.T.
I watched it when I was younger and remembered it kind of odd. I record from TCM over the weekend — seemed time for a rewatch.
Which ones have you watched lately? I have a vague recollection of seeing The Big Red One 15-20 years ago, but more recently I have seen White Dog, Shock Corridor, and I am pretty sure I watch The Naked Kiss, but it might be confusing that one with another movie.
I haven't seen Shock Corridor. The ones I especially like are: Pickup on South Street, Underworld USA, The Steel Helmet and The Crimson Kimono. Even two of his lesser movies, I Shot Jesse James and The Baron of Arizona were surprisingly solid after a very worrisome opening 15-20 minutes.KarmaPolice said:
thanks for the reminder - need to watch this while it is on HBO
I watched it on HBO last week; agree on it being a fun movie. I went in with somewhat low expectations, as I hate most car racing type movies (and lucky me that my kid’s favorite movie is Cars, so I get more than my desired fill of it). But story, cinematography, and acting all above the level that I usually see in those movies.
Just watched this for the first time. It was a fun movie. I kind of want to know how true it was but I don't really care enough to look it up. Great acting!!!
