I'm total OCD with these Challenges, that's why this is my farewell Challenge and gonna stay retired after this. Every film I've watched for this Challenge I have on DVD/BR. Every one is a rec by The Vinny. When I run out of the physical media, I'm done...do try to keep up. Salty...

7/10 The Italian Connection (1972) 95m - Mario Adorf is still alive at 95 years, Henry Silva just died also at 95. Apparently an inspiration for the 2 main guys of pulp fiction, pretty decent action. Always liked Mario he's got the body of ollie, naschy. He would of made a great Mario from (nintendo), though where the fuck they get off trying to make Henry Silva as a good looking dude, OK its 70s Italy but come on.
6/10 The Thrill Killers (1964) 70m - Don't mind me, I'm just at home alone relaxing by the pool painting in my swimsuit whilst wearing 4 inch heels, cause this is how I dress casual around the house. Holy fuck thats some quick acting poison, the guy brings the cup to his lips and doesnt even drink and a nanosecond falls down dead. Actually some good acting in this film
2/10 Olga's Girls (1964) 70m - By coincidence, same year same runtime, but totally shit. Dubbing a film latr rarely works, esp when 90% of the dailog is a voiceover.Meant to show the seedier side of life, vice drugs, prostitution, torture etc but its all some tame. Girls are ugly to boot
4/10 The Hypnotic Eye (1960) 79m - Fuck the hero cop is a stupid fucker. The other cop looks a little like vince price. The scene with gramps being a beatnik poet is WTF. Hmmm I'm not sure if waking up the lady whilst dangling like that was the best idea. In fact I would say 99 times out of 100 it would be the wrong idea.
5/10 Evil Eye (1975) 106m - Giallo but more supernatural than the usual, with genre fav's Anthony Steffen & Jorge. In fact no real resolution in the end
5/10 Murder in the Blue Room (1944) 61m - Typical piece that they put out then as a vehicle to promote some 'entertainers' Of course back then all the entertqainers sucked. Fuck Bob Hope btw. One thing that was not explained was why was there a genuine ghost wandering around and no-one bats an eyelid.
5/10 Naked Violence (1969) 92m - They're really selling the myth of absinthe, I've had it a few times and its just a normal the initial interview in the police station took like 40 mins or so, fuck talk about bad pacing. The whole film is a bit of a yawn TBH

Btw I did add a couple of films here but they're not here now, I mustn't of saved it, Haveta redo, fuck

7/10 The Unnaturals (1969) 83m - Film full of bastards except the man and his mum. Nice film that gets a bit surreal at the end. I've always loved Luciano Pigozzi
5/10 Naked Killer (1992) 89m - Not really any nudity, just the usual hong kong overly stylish crap. Though theres a lot of genital mutilation
4/10 Deathstone (1990) 88m - Jan Michaels Vincerts crap acting fully on display here. Not sure why he got often cast for action roles cause he's a weed (prolly cause he doesnt have the chops to pull off anything with emotion)
6/10 The Hound of the Baskervilles (1980) 100m - Quite a good adaption, fuck that must make at least 10 I've seen, prolly after jekyll and hyde would be the 2nd most films story.
5/10 The Possessed (1965) 95m - Also style over substance, must of taken me 2 weeks to watch.
7/10 A Family Torn Apart (1993) 98m - Family drama a predictable tale but saved by some good acting. True the parents were assholes but murder come-on, a bit overkill.

4/10 The Hidden II (1993) 93m - Actually quite liked the start of this, I think I was in the mood for an 80s style sci-fi. Though after 15mins its like and this is not how is gonna be
5/10 The Big Scare (1964) 85m - Very french comedy, I guess you need to understand french fully to appreciate it
8/10 Spring Breakers (2012) 94m - Nice style, very predictable story though. Also it does wear out its welcome, should of mixed it up around the 60min mark.
5/10 Crazy Desires of a Murderer (1977) 89m - Giallo, a bit unusual then again a lot of giallo's are.
5/10 The Card Player (2003) 103m - Actually better than all argento's recent stuff. The ending was just stupid though
7/10 Speak No Evil (2022) 97m - Completely implausible story but hey best not to engage the brain. And one thing that didnt make sense is what were the kids for?
6/10 Ricky 6 (2000) 111m - Based on a true story, part of what led to the satanic panic of the 80s. But the actual story is pretty tame. NZ we had our own (related) version 90s I think some pre-school was performing static rituals on childred etc, of course it was all BS. The main guy that got accused died recently IIRC.

5/10 The Spreading Ground (2000) 100m - Dennis Hopper is one of the greats, though this aint near his best work. Interesting premise police and the mob were trying to track down a serial killer. Not exactly sure why the mob was (some land deal for $150million or something lame, it never made sense)
3/10 Rooms for Tourists (2004) 90m - How is this compared to hostel, it has nothing in common! Very scary film, WTF OK I guess some reviews have something to do with the making of this film, but theres reviewer names I realize morrison-dylan-fan, Scarecrow-88, ElijahCSkuggs (though he always rates high)

Spot. Recovering from surgery so here I am.

So far I think I'll I've got that counts is The Boys, but I will update later.

And I wouldn't be me if I didn't ask questions like, do movies about war crimes count?

Not typically. The Casualties of War is a great flick about a war crime, but war is different, and much like The Terminator being a horror film and not being allowed to have that as a genre, some war movies are about crime and aren't allowed to be crime films. So basically... no.

Casualties of War has the crime tag. Therefore it should count. Sure it's set during a war, but the main aspect/focus of the movie is the crime that is commited, not the fighting the Viet Cong.

Der was asking me earlier about Schindler's List, another about war crimes that isn't listed as crime. What do you say?

I would say save it for the war challenge next week and watch some actual crime flicks. As you say it's not listed as crime and I think the reason being, it's main story is about a man who saves some Jews. There is no investigatory element or subsequent trial that shows us what happens to the Nazis who commited these war crimes afterwards.

Okay, back to what you were saying about crime needing police and/or investigation... take a movie like The Warriors. Minor cops in the background, no investigation really. Just gangs. Still a crime movie as it follows a street gang. Aren't nazis like... a giant gang?

I'm not intending to watch these questionable movies. Just trying to understand that line.

I never said that. I'm was talking about serial killer movies and why some should not be considered horrors. There doesn't have to be an Investigatory element in movies about criminal gangs, I thought that would be pretty obvious. Goodfellas is still a crime movie regardless of the fact it doesn't have a single policeman in it. I can't believe I'm having to explain this.

And no the Nazis were not a "criminal organisation" , they were a political party. Just stop trying to spin this.

And no, before you ask, The Terminator is not a crime movie because it has police in it.

I never realized Goodfellas had virtually no cops in it. I do remember some cops busted young Henry for selling smokes.

So Terminator has a cyborg slasher, but it isn't horror for some reason. And it has police investigating the phone book killer, but it's not a crime movie either. Got it!

The Terminator also has a love scene between Kyle and Sarah. Does that make it a romance movie too?

Well true, I'd forgotten that scene in Goodfellas but it's a brief scene and there are no main or even minor characters who are in the police force. I'm not sure what point you're trying to prove anyway. I'm enjoying the relentless the sarcasm anyway,

I actually do consider Kyle and Sarah as one of cinema's best romances. "I came across time for you, Sarah." The original line in the script was, "I ejaculated across time for you," but studios took issue with that for some reason.

Its a pity they didn't go with it.
Cause instead of listening to arnie saying varitaions of 'I'll be back' at political rallys for the next 3 decades we could of heard him say
'watch me while I ejaculate some tax cuts for you'
He could of been president
