My partner saw EO and Close at AFI fest and raved about them I saw Pacification there which was bad. but it was a doctor strangelove-esque tale about france restarting their nuclear program in Tahiti so that's cool

do you think top 10 lists must always be made of things popular enough (i.e. commercial enough) you've at least heard of them

RandolphCarter posted:idk it copied the villain being right but then doing something super terrible for ??? reasons fair enough, but it wasn't full of banal quips and actually gave the characters time to do things that weren't banter or punching, the retro style of the Batman's tech and his musclecar Batmobile were a break from the usual magical tech bullshit, there were elements of detective procedurals in it it didn't come together but there was an effort to do something a bit different

The last Batman movie had a lot of interesting individual pieces, but all they managed to add up to was a Batman movie, and if you're a Batman movie and you aren't Batman Returns then get the gently caress out of my face.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:lol Nolan absolutely did not, his last one ended with a triumphant Army of Cops saving the day I think you could probably make a case for The Dark Knight as the most anti-Cop Batman movie, but I'd have to watch it again to really thread it all together. But the Cops never actually HELP in that movie, usually they make things worse by either playing directly into The Joker's plans OR by refusing to let Batman help e: this isn't to say that The Dark Knight isn't ultimately a reactionary movie, which all Batman movies are

The Dark Knight doesn't count because it's a Joker movie with Batman in it.
