positive · AI labelView post →Movieoak’s film suggestion: Le Samouraï by Jean-Pierre Melville One of the most influential crime movies of all time, no doubt in part thanks to Alain Delon’s performance as Jef Costello and just in how fucking cool it is.

positive · AI labelView post →watched Le Samouraï for movie night last night, and just like Drive (which I now understand was inspired by it), I have to wonder how many men tried to pull off the fit and absolutely could not fuck, though, Alain Delon makes the trenchcoat and hat work

neutral · AI labelView post →Le Samouraï was my last movie, do I have to do the job in the same country as the movie? Because I don’t speak French well, so being a French hitman probably wouldn’t work out too well for me. The pay would be good though I’d reckon. Side note, excellent movie. It’s my third time I’ve seen it now, I’d highly recommend it. Just put on English captions if you don’t understand French, and enjoy. It does require paying attention to, it’s not the kind of movie to have in the background, so keep…

positive · AI labelView post →My top 8 first time watches of '25, in no order: - One Battle After Another - Green Knight - Wake Up Dead Man - Le Samouraï (my top movie of the year) - Sex Lies And Videotape - Nosferatu (the original not the Eggers) - Heat - Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol (best of the MIs imho)
positive · AI labelView post →Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999, dir. Jim Jarmusch) The unexpected link between Le Samouraï and Drive. Super charming movie, I love the lowkey atmosphere and the quirky cast in an otherwise quite serious movie. Of course, RZA's score is awesome as well.
neutral · AI labelView post →If that's the general flavor we're looking for, I'd also vote to add Jean Pierre Melville's 1967 film Le Samouraï with Alain Delon.
neutral · AI labelView post →I appreciated him in many film roles (although much less so outside the movie universe), but my favorite remains his nonpareil incarnation of the hitman in J.-P. Melville’s flawless « Le Samouraï ». Repose en paix, Alain Delon! Rest in peace, Jef Costello! youtu.be/Q__Ky6Ih8A0
positive · AI labelView post →Surprised you mention Woo’s The Killer, but not the film it was based on—Melville’s Le Samouraï. I’d add The Memory of a Killer (2003), Matador (2005), and A Bittersweet Life (2005) too
neutral · AI labelView post →31st: Cry Wolf, Jeopardy, Call It Murder, Le Samouraï, The Dark Crystal I loved this, and it sapped me from my movie love for MONTHS. MONTHS!!! I didn't watch anything for a long time. This was exhausting and fulfilling. Really loved it, and hope to do it again someday.
positive · AI labelView post →Le Samouraï (1967) - The reputation this movie has as an "ultimate cool" film is funny as it leaves out that Jef is a complete sadboy nobody living in the worst apartment in Paris with no life outside his job. All of the police procedural scenes are fantastic, the cops are assholes in the best way.
positive · AI labelView post →Last night I watched Le Samouraï (1967) as part of a monthly "cinema" club where we watch classic movies and then chat the movie to bits once the month is up. Kinda like a book club. I loved this. So cool, so sexy, so French. The ripples this movie casts out in the pond reach forever. 🧵1/2

neutral · AI labelView post →Summary: 8/10: A masterclass in dialogue economy and atmosphere that hasn't lost its craft, only its element of surprise, having spent sixty years teaching every assassin movie that followed how to be cool, quiet, and doomed. A man lies motionless on a narrow bed in a room the color of a held breath; grey walls, grey light, a caged bullfinch for company. Three minutes pass before a word of dialogue arrives, and by then Jean-Pierre Melville has already told you everything you need to know about…
