This does make me wanna rewatch Jackie Brown though. For the most part (with the exception of Reservoir and Pulp) I've only seen the others once, but I really can't remember a single thing about it. Wonder if it was really that unremarkable and forgettable.

The idea you can’t dislike an actor/actress for their beliefs or just general demeanour and have it effect your view on their work is whack.
I enjoyed Brie Larson’s films before I saw how completely unlikeable she is in interviews.
Taxi Driver is my favourite De Niro film, captures working at night perfectly.

I like Meet the Parents a lot and actually think a bunch of the jokes age even better as you get older and you can appreciate it even more than if you seen it when you were younger. Bobby D is great in it as well - to see him in such a role in a comedy was a bit of a culture shock for me at the time and I think he plays it so well and accounts for a ton of the comedy because he chooses to play it so straight. The milking quote/scene is actually pretty iconic. It placed like #5 on my list.
Also makes me want to find a way to do a Ben Stiller list , easily one of the most overlooked or underappreciated comedy actors of his generation. Ton of great and hilarious movies that I'd like to find a way to list. Perhaps in the future.

Never seen it. Do I want to? Not sure. Ben Stiller generally doesn't appeal to me.

It was alright. Not top 10 DeNiro by any means though.

Midnight Run is in an entirely different and higher echelon of power compared to this. This is just one of those silly comedies that I have a vendetta against. But it is still funny.
Analyze This is better than this one too.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!
Didn't think it would make it, although I believe I had it @ #2, so that may have tipped things. One of my favorite comedies.

Depends. Do you not like the frantic Stiller? Or the laid back Stiller? I didn't know there were two Ben Stillers. I kinda like Zoolander and I hate There's Something About Mary if that helps. Not seen any other STiller.

Not seen any other STiller. Meh sometimes he’s off the wall and sometimes he plays it pretty straight. There’s Something About Mary is great though but if you don’t like like him in that than I don’t see you liking Meet the Parents.

I haven't went back and watched Cape Fear for awhile , I remember it being on cable a ton back in the day and watching it but I'm not even sure I've seen the unedited version. Two things about the movie standout to me - De Niro's performance is chilling and really fucking good as Cady and something he pulled off just too well. And 🤯's favorite , Juliette Lewis having a memorable role/performance. This is the one movie I'll always remember her in for whatever reason. Aside from that though I don't have a ton to say. It ended up missing my list.

That scene between De Niro and Juliette Lewis reading the play is creepy as hell. Like Raging Bull De Niro put everything into this role and took what Robert Mitchum did to the next level. When you're topping Robert Mitchum you're doing something right. Cape Fear was number 6 on my list.

The inspiration for Waylon Mercy and Bray Wyatt!
That's all I know about this movie.
Haven't seen it, and honestly have never really felt compelled to bother.
Probably has something to do with Juliette Lewis being in it...

The Deer Hunter is great ..... if you're looking for a cure for insomnia. It's just not my type of movie , over 3 hours long and pretty much a slog for half of it. Didn't even consider ranking it and will never consider watching it again.

I liked The Deer Hunter like I liked Jarhead. Both movies show the other side of war that most movies don't, the mental toll and everything else outside the action. I enjoyed both movies but can't see myself watching them again, especially Deer Hunter because it is definitely too long.

It is just as long as it's supposed to be and it is fantastic. I hate all of you. Ninety-two percent of the audience liked it, you damn eight percenters.
