Apostle.

The Apostle – "I've always called you Jesus, you've called me Sonny."

I have to go with falling down for the way he steals the shit out of the final scene from michael douglas and the phone call where he tells his wife to just SHUT UP I'LL GET HOME WHEN I GET HOME

I thought this would be about Shelley.

am regretting Great Santini, shda gone Lonesome Dove.

Santini, for "Chow down on me, hogs!"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ya but what MOVIE are u going to watch

the road is more like the choad imo

You mean "rescreen" xpost

Hard to hate this guy, isn't it? Did he vote for McCain?

nobody voted for godfather 2?! I wld think Kilgore and GF2 would have been 1/2

I mean, the Frankie Five Angels scene is just breathtaking...

Would be more fun to hang out with than Pacino, IMO. Maybe James Caan would be rad too.

and of course

Speaking of not condoning certain practices, Caan recently completed “Middle Men,” his second film with Luke Wilson – and although he has a “good relationship” with the younger actor, Wilson does do one thing that rubs him up the wrong way.
“Luke is a good guy. I just don't like him texting me. I told him call me, G** damn it, don't text me. When he texts me, I never answer,” Caan added with a smile.

the apostle is one of these films i've been meaning to see for about a decade but have somehow missed

It's good

^ apostolic fan

Duvall introduced McCain at a rally, and I really don't care

im more mad at him for turning down godfather 3

i mean george freakin hamilton are you kidding me

think u shd be madder at Coppola

80th birthday

how's Get Low? Sounds like a Chris Brown album.

I liked it. Sorta feels like a Coen Bros joint, maybe just bc it's a period piece with a bit of black comedy. Pretty paint by numbers but Duvall & Murray are worth it just to watch them do their thing.

lot of these i have not seen, but would go w/ lonesome dove. also can not believe it came out 21 years ago. i think i just turned old.

i did not even recognize him in the road

tender mercies is rad as hell

tomorrow is seriously one of duvall's finest performances ... readily available from Netflix and tender mercies fans will probably love it (like that one, tomorrow was written by Horton Foote). the cinematography and mise-en-scene is pretty much filmmaking Ground Zero, but it fits the story well ... and, to repeat myself, it isn't overstating things to call Duvall's performance exquisite.

it was recommended to me by an awesome video store clerk back when i was in college ... and it's the kind of film i'd show someone to gauge how much of a film nerd they really are.

so just two votes for the apostle, huh?

man the apostle is fucking great.

It should've won the poll.

i think he actually considers his stalin performance his best work. i haven't seen it

watched 'the apostle' for the first time - loved it

Found an ad for this scrolling through an old Voice link Morbius posted on the William Friedkin thread:

Positive I've never even heard of this film.

I have... and I used to listen to Julian Schlossberg's "Movietalk" radio show every Sunday night, and remember Duvall being on it.

Warner Archive reissues The Great Santini in widescreen

He's a sputtering Alabama daddy with a car-accident obsession in the new (well, it's taken 18 months to come out) Billy Bob Thornton movie. It's a wandering mess, but he's still commanding (tho the critic who says he's looking more like an iguana is right).

The Judge was quite an ordeal. Terrible performance from Downey (always want to pin half the blame on the writers for conceiving such a character); Duvall has a few good moments, but it'd rank way down there on the list above.

Haven't seen The Judge, but how the hell did Newsies get two votes here?

big bottom bird iirc

one voter really loved his star turn as a cab driver in Bullitt

i watched 'a family thing', duvall as a good ol boy from arkasas learns he's half black & james earle jones is his older brother. written by billy bob thornton! it was really good, duvall is just the best

happy 90th

He'd kill us if he got the chance.

LOL @ someone voting for Bullitt

lonesome dove - 1 vote, poll has no credibility, Gus, Swoon!! oh! my aching heart

Some credit to Tarantino's book for getting me to watch The Outfit--generic on the surface, but good performances by everyone, and (intentionally according to Tarantino, which I assumed anyway) a supporting cast assembled as a tribute to classic noir: Robert Ryan, Jane Greer, Marie Winsor, Elisha Cook Jr., Timothy Carey. Superior to Peckinpah's The Getaway, I'd say, though not as good as Straight Time in the recidivist-thief genre.

Not sure why I started with "some"--all credit to the book.
