Austrian or US remake for you?
I thought both were great

reply

I liked both!

reply

Some will claim the Austrian original was better but man, Watts and Roth are so good in just about everything...its a draw for me
Good stuff

reply

The thing that blew me away was that we, the audience were included in the games. Also...
I have seen both versions several times and I can still come away with something new that I never caught before.
Great movie/movies!

reply

That was a mind trip

Great thrillers are like that...always something you notice upon second or third viewing...then you go 'Doh! Why didnt that occur to me earlier!?!'

Agreed...fine movies

reply

I have never see this - I must go looking.

I warn you, it's a tricky movie to watch.

reply

I am intrigued now. Thanks

Blow Out with Travolta
Body Double with Griffith

Both directed by DePalma

reply

You forgot Dressed to Kill; all three, inimitable of his style.

reply

Yes i almost mentioned Dressed but i saw it ages ago...couldnt really remember much of it and i aim for honest/legit posts here with no tomfoolery...i like these posters too much to bullshit them
Ive watched Blow and Body in the last year or so and the details are pretty fresh
I should give Dresed a rewatch

reply

I've rewatched all three during the past year.

reply

DePalma was great

Story of my life...
I dont bother keeping up with the cool kids😎

The Game with Michael Douglass.

reply

That was excellent!
Im still not sure it made total sense (dont wish to spoil...) but wow it was great stuff
Saw it in the theatre and hit the diner afterward
All of my 'movie' friends loved it too

reply

Mr. Holmes -- specifically because it focuses on the decline of the aged, legendary detective's mental faculties.

It is ! Got a lot of unwarranted hate.
