I'm watching The Untouchables and it's great. There's that whole bit with the baby carriage falling down the stairs, the camera angles, the pacing, etc. He always has that one long tense scene in his movies and nobody does that anymore. Where's our new Hitchcock? Where are our masters of suspense?

Of course, I'm referring to a select output of his filmography. I think I quit after Carlito's Way, his last great movie, cuz Mission Impossible and Black Dalia sucked. I still think he's essential to any aspiring film snob.

What's your fave?

I haven't seen The Fury yet, but it's old De Palma, so it's probably good. I think my top few would be Carlito's Way, Casualties of War, and Carrie. All the best ones start with a C.

Again, both great, but I still think the others pack a greater punch. I'll always hold Carlito above Scarface, and I'll never know why people scoff at the idea.

We're on the same page. I find his suspense scenes interesting from a technical perspective, so I might binge a few more of his movies now that I can use my blu player again. I own about a dozen of his flicks. Regular dvds though.

So is it about mutants? Firestarter was okay at best. Not particularly my favorite, though I did enjoy Hearts in Atlantis, which was also about the government trying to capture special individuals.

The Fury is one of the few I haven't seen, because it IS that rare and I could never find it on dvd. I had to search pretty hard for Blow Out because that was OOP for a while, and it took me a while to find Body Double too, so yeah. His stuff can be a bit hard to find, except for the super mainstream stuff like Scarface. I thought everyone had seen that one at the very least.

I never saw Snake Eyes, but I feel like the post-1994 sentiments sucking are accurate. I didn't like Mission Impossible or Black Dahlia at all. In fact, I didn't like Mission Impossible so much that I've never seen any of the sequels. Then again, I'm also pretty behind on my current Bond lore.
