Hateful Eight (extended version)
Burn After Reading

what's the difference between the theater and extended versions? I didn't love Hateful Eight, but maybe it's bc I saw the wrong one?

The extended version is split into 4 chapters. I watch them more like tv episodes, in that i can watch one or two at a time. I think there is some extra scenes, but it’s been so long since i watched both versions, i couldn’t tell you whats cut.

 

[birdman]

Forest Gump
Life Aquatic
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Never Cry Wolf

 

[birdman]

Honorable mention: Police Academy IV.

 

[Liquid Karma]

Killer of Sheep, 1978, d. Charles Burnett

George Washington, 2000, d. David Gordon Green

Girlfight, 2000, d. Karyn Kusama

Con Air, 1997, d. Simon West

Hell yes.

 

[DeacHead]

Some good lists going on, no one's made me say "yuck" so far. Barca's and .75ITC's are all entries that could easily have been in my 4 and just might have been on another day, a different frame of mind.

 

[Dali Llama]

 

[ConnorEl]

Oh, man…The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

 

[Dali Llama]

Jaws or Godfather Part II might sneak in there depending on the day.

I always thought Master and Commander was for the memes. Is it legit good? It came out when i was at school, and this kid was obliterated at a football game and kept yelling “Master and Commander…Notre Dame sucks!”
