60 of 262 · most liked firstTonight's 🎥: Sunset Boulevard (1950, dir. Billy Wilder). The best film about films ever made? Undoubtedly. One of the all-time great movies, stuffed with an embarrassment of riches, from the writing to performances to production design, cinematography and direction. Savage, melancholy, brilliant.

neutral · AI labelView post →Donald Trump’s favourite movie is Sunset Boulevard. That movie tells the story of an aging silent film star, Norma Desmond, who has locked herself away from the real world so that she can endlessly replay past glories until she loses her mind entirely.

neutral · AI labelView post →Sunset Boulevard still feels like a dream no matter how many times you watch- a surreal fever dream about the death of silent film & the industry that left it behind. It clearly inspired Lynch's Mulholland Drive, & in retrospect the 2 feel like a conversation across decades about Hollywood #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →I read this morning that Sunset Boulevard is one of Donald Trump's favourite movies. Strange, I thought, as it seems like a film about a person who was a moving-picture star and becomes isolated from reality and unable to form real relationships. What is he seeing there? So I rewatched this evening.
neutral · AI labelView post →I worked at Paramount once, and had the oddest sensation. I saw a screening on the lot of "Sunset Boulevard" for a friend's birthday, sitting in the SAME screening room that Gloria Swanson watches a movie projected in within the film. Very weirdly meta. #SunsetBoulevard #SummerOfDarkness #TCMParty
neutral · AI labelView post →It wouldn't be proper to ignore Norma Desmond on this or any day! Gloria Swanson, BOTD 3/27/1899. From silent film superstar to SUNSET BOULEVARD (1950) & beyond, Swanson was, is, & always will be film legend. #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of SUNSET BOULEVARD boxd.it/cFmImf 🎶He had it coming. He had it coming. He only had himself to blame!🎶 Perfect film? Essential noir works as scathing Hollywood satire & compelling psychosexual drama. Swanson walks tightrope between ridiculous & heartbreaking; triumphs. #filmsky 📽

neutral · AI labelView post →SUNSET BOULEVARD premiered #OTD in 1950. You might think Paramount would stream one of its most iconic films on Paramount+ for the 75th anniversary, but you'd be wrong. It's on MGM+. I wish Billy Wilder was still around to make a movie about the streaming shell game. #FilmSky #SunsetBoulevard

But stay tuned, afterward, for one of the great under-appreciated noirs. A bleak tale of adultery and murder, THE PROWLER pulls no punches and avoids cop-out endings. #TCMParty

neutral · AI labelView post →All right, folks. Sunset Boulevard is a fabulous film but it's not an example of "first person past tense narrator dies in the end" The movie tells you right up front that it's the dead man's story, plus "first person" in the context of film is more or less nonsensical. I mean, I love you all, just.

neutral · AI labelView post →REVIEW / Sunset Boulevard (1950). *Sunset Boulevard*, 10/10 Billy Wilder's *Sunset Boulevard* is a masterpiece of black comedy and savage Hollywood critique, a film so dark and so funny that it becomes something singular. Everything about it is wonderful: the performances, the direction, the audacity of its premise, the cruelty of its vision. It's a film about delusion and exploitation, about an industry that devours its own, and it tells that story with a viciousness that never stops being…
positive · AI labelView post →the screening of Sunset Boulevard that I attended on Monday was the film being shown on film, which for the most part was really cool, but during the New Years eve scene, some of the film had been damaged, and at one point it just abruptly jumped to Norma saying "PUMPING AND PUMPING" with no context

Year 2, Day #318 "Sunset Boulevard" (Billy Wilder/1950) All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up. Classic line from a film that, unsurprisingly, I have not watched yet. Hopefully I will get to this one soon.

Now I want some from the 50s. Ones I enjoyed so far are films like: - Rear Window - Sunset Boulevard - Vertigo - Scrooge (or A Christmas Carol the one with Alastair Sim) - Stalag 17 The only ones I've seen I'm a bit just kind of eh on are Titfield Thunderbolt and Blood of Dracula. I haven't seen anything I think is outright bad…
