Impression is a weird metric to use when judging a movie.

Re: Suggest a movie!

An interesting Westerns double bill would be The Searchers and Unforgiven. As a critically successful as Unforgiven was, it did not revive what was an extremely popular genre. Twenty years on, and Westerns are a dying if not dead breed (though I personally loved the new True Grit).

It might make for an interesting Intermission one day - why certain genres come and go. Why do fantasy films struggle to be successful (LOTR is the exception) and why do others have periods of success every few decades (like WW2 movies).

My own suggestion would be to do Green Lantern, since I've only just now seen it and think it's right in that sweet spot for DiF discussion. Surprisingly, I didn't dislike it and thought aside from such huge plot holes, it was entertaining. It's certainly better than Transformers 3 (which could just as well be my mantra these days, since that film has lowered the bar so much).

Re: Suggest a movie!

I don't think you guys have done a Coen Bros. film?

Sup?

Also, how about some more (Pan's Labyrinth the only one?) foreign films? Let the Right One In, for example, La Femme Nikita.

Oh, and Heathers

The Graduate

Some Kevin Smith?

I'd love to have a DiF commentary for the two Conan the Barbarian movies and the Planet of the Apes original and remake, done in the same double bill comparative style as Dawn of the Dead.

You guys should do a heist movie, like The Italian Job, or Ocean's 11, or Inside Man.

I've said it before—PLEASE, guys, you HAVE to do Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street before my life will be complete.

Oldboy has come up before. We might do an episode of non-commentary discussion of it.

I think Pan's is the only genuinely foreign movie we've done, in terms of language. Plenty of British films, but they don't count.
