I like Stalag 17 and think it should be in the top 10
Love “Stalag 17” top 10 probably for me. Not ‘the best’ though.
Underrated films worth watching!

You saw the theatrical release where the studio edited out most of the sex, eh? Yeah that would be a bummer.
Nope. The movie ratings system in Quebec is less puritanical than in some other places. The version which got an R in the US (after being cut down from NC-17) was released here as a mere 14+. It didn’t even rate a 16+ or an 18+. But my point wasn’t that the sex was absent, my point was that it was boring and pretentious.

I also live in Quebec (get together for a game sometime?)
But the R rating is not the one you want, its the NC-17 or unrated. (I’m not sure.)
I guess if you found it boring that’s okay. Kubric isn’t for everyone. (I found Space Odyssey to be mind-numbing) But I really dug the Shining and EWS. It just hits home on so many human emotions.
Yeah, most movies these days move quicker. But I have a little place in my heart for directors like Scorcesse or Kubric or Coppola That take a little more time with the scenes and let the actors do the storytelling rather than the director. It’s a character drama and some people just don’t dig character dramas.
(Seems like Tarantino is the only one who gets credit for taking his time with scenes these days, I guess because all his characters are 1 dimensional and therefore easier to “get.”)

The Road to Wellville :-D

Just saw “21” not reviewed very well. Not inventive film-making but a pretty entertaining story. Also, somewhat true.

Rock of Ages & 21 Jump Street & Stargate
-
Stargate seconded. Definitely underrated.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
