i was thinking for goodfellas maybe altman could be a predecessor, but the way altman ran his ensemble casts is totally different

then i read this and thought of cassavetes--because he mentions him a lot, lol

funny thing though, in that retrospective they paired goodfellas with the original ocean's 11 (i haven't seen it)

but i can see some cassavetes in goodfellas. not towering over it or smothering it at all though. as an inspiration, sure.

dammit, this board, when it works, it's fucking great.

===

70s i haven't seen all of them (i've been trying to see alice doesn't live here anymore and boxcar bertha) but taxi driver sort of defined the decade no? i like mean streets but it's a little clunky.

80s easily raging bull. i also like after hours a lot but it's not the same caliber. but i like after hours a lot--it's hilarious.

king of comedy is okay. didn't do it for me. a less violent travis bickle.

last temptation i saw only in the 90s so i think of it as a 90s movie. it's very good and ambitious and looks great etc but somehow it didn't leave a mark with me. maybe it was confusing. maybe i need a rewatch.

90s goodfellas evidently. i didn't like casino and i've promised to watch it again thanks to you guys suggesting it deserves a reappraisal outside the shadow of its predecessor. which i'll do in due time

cape fear was a tight little remake that's often ignored. why? i haven't seen kundun.

00s i have not seen all. like gangs- i haven't. but i liked aviator a lot more than i expected. supremo editing. really good movie. btw, the character has echoes of raging bull-- the loneliness of bad brains.

i don't know why but i didn't like the departed. too... i don't know. i just didn't. fuckit.

10s too soon to tell and again i haven't seen them all, but i think everyone who's seen it can agree that wolf was a superb spectacle. then again goodfellas steals its thunder doesn't it? ha ha ha ha. echoes again.

i still have to watch hugo and his latest
