60 of 153 · most liked firstNow joining the #TCMParty for some Wilder. 1960 was such a wild year for film: The Apartment, Psycho, Breathless, La Dolce Vita, Trou, Rocco and His Brothers, and much more. I saw The Apartment 4k restoration on the big screen a couple of years ago, the outdoor scenes are incredible. #FilmSky

It's about a cruise ship with a group of absurd characters on board and I thought it would be perfect for them :'D #OFMDfanart

neutral · AI labelView post →It's worthwhile to acknowledge that movies don't all exist along a Good-Bad axis, but also along an axis of Watchable-Unwatchable. The Super Mario Bros. Movie with Bob Hoskins is Bad and Watchable. La Dolce Vita is Good, but I would be hard-pressed to call it Watchable. Morbius is Terrible, but not even remotely in a fun, Watchable way. It's just cold dog shit. And of course all of these categories are 100% subjective relative to the individual viewer.

"It was an unforgettable experience to see that film alongside a packed audience when it was brand-new." Meanwhile, I first saw it in 1966 at the Belmont Drive-In in Edmonton.
neutral · AI labelView post →First watch: LA DOLCE VITA (1960) is a sumptuously photographed film that captures the decadence and alienation of its characters. I quite liked it, though it had moments of tedium, and it didn’t dethrone a few Fellini films I prefer. #FilmSky #Fellini 1/4
