capital c Classic, one of the few comedies that makes me lose it every five seconds

still funny as fuck on the seventy billionth rewatch

funnier than i it being - not the best out of the Python canon, yet still fantastic

infinitely engaging, conversational and deep. one of the best documentaries ive seen

kind of a mess but a lovely one at that - charming, silly and self-aware. i should rewatch it sometime when im in a better mood

feelgood magic. saw it at least thrice as teen and today's rewatch was so much fun

sure, this can be read as a parable about conscious and unconscious guilt (both personal and shared); it could be about primal fear and one's battle with wilderness; but at the end of the day it's a very effective thriller. great flick

a beautiful tapestry with threads interweaving and shining with bright gold. the film blossoms as it goes on, gently bringing you closer to each and every one of its characters. by the final scene you're completely in love, moved to tears even -- but never overwhelmed.

the theatric sets, unorthodox shots and the surreal editing give this flick a unique (and very surprising) dream-like quality. don't get it twisted - this is not a simple exploitation fare: copious amounts of effective symbolist imagery and the returning sisyphean theme add another, even sharper, edge to this beautifully shot film.

adds profound dimensions to Herzog's masterwork - Fitzcarraldo becomes a meta narrative about *his* obsession and triumph. the ethnographic aspects are quiet wonderful too!

a delight. such a weirdly uplifting film: it's a fantastic parable of a man breaking his sysephian routine -- even if for just a moment -- and overcoming nature's law.

i think the movie insists on itself a little too much - but i get it. the first act is the best by far, with all its cold interior shots and stone-faced absurdity.

a short, concise, to-the-point action hitter. the cinematography is great, the setpieces are wondeful and the fights and the splatter are even better. excited to binge the entire series eventually.

actual torture — a nonstop barrage of alien, lovecraftian horror (note the ever-breaking scale and nonsensical geometry of every single scene), uncanny valley CGI, bizarro performances, and fever-dream theatrics. i still how mortified my friend and i were when we walked out of the theater.

a love-letter to all the exploitation and grindhouse hilarity of its genre - it's constantly one-upping itself, it's laugh out loud funny, it's the funkiest movie ever.

every shot should be framed and placed in a museum. a fantastic, ever-relevant exploration of wanting to fit in, even if fitting in destroys and opposes your entire nature. essential.

I'm simultaneously disappointed and thoroughly entertained by how seriously this whole movie takes itself. the mid-movie song and dance break is a bizarre choice but it works - because why the hell not?

senseless, dumb, borderline offensive but nonetheless charming and hilarious bullshit. every shot of the movie contains either one of the three - naked women, fake blood or nazi symbols. most contain all three at once.

surprisingly tame for a movie - i expected off-the wall grotesque insanity, but got a rather bland flick about a generic mafia conspiracy. still worth the watch, it's fun enough

This review may contain spoilers.

i love how psychedelic the whole movie is - the sudden artsy drug trip sequences and the surreal sub-plot about trying to exorcise the P out of a patient are terrific. the last act is the best, with the random kung-fu fight being a highlight

i won't shut up about this movie for a while - batshit insane, hilarious and very self-aware

even though the scares are rare and the whole thing is rather goofy i found the movie to be a rather effective exploration of urban horror and modern folklore. at its best the movie feels like a spooky story i'd hear from an older tween friend at some summer camp

beautiful shots, great drama, powerhouse performance from kinski - whats not to love?

A tense, gritty masterwork that functions both as a meditation on fate and purpose in the broadest sense and as a thrilling, action-packed battle between man and the elements.
