Can’t get over it.

I just finished watching Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. Can anyone explain the cultural significance of this movie? I’ve genuinely never seen anything like it.

I didn’t really find it entertaining or even especially thought-provoking while watching, but it felt important in a way I can’t fully articulate. Was the impact more about the filmmaking style and what it represented at the time?

The movie starts off with him telling his son to get over his mother's death and focus on school, Bastian almost immediately disregards this advice, then - nothing. We don't see his dad again for the remainder of the film, nor are we given any indication that anyone notices that he's been missing for 12 hours or so. I couldn't imagine any decent parent today acting that way, but I was born in 1990, so things may have changed in the last 4 decades. If we were supposed to see him as a bad parent, it seems like there should have been some seen where he realizes his mistakes, but if we're supposed to see him as a good parent, why does the entire plot of the movie hinge on ignoring his advice? Or are we supposed to see his behavior as so normal, it would be expected that the ,movie not comment on it?

People talk nonstop about the 70s for auteur cinema and the 90s for indie movies, but the 80s had this perfect mix of originality, practical effects, massive swings, weird studio risks, iconic action movies, high-concept comedies, and genuinely great blockbusters.

What is an 80s movie that gets overlooked?

What’s your ranking?

Let's assume, from the end of the first Back To The Future film, Marty continues to remember the life he had before he travelled back. He's definitely confused when he sees the different decor, his siblings and how his parents behave.

They will remember different holidays (vacations) and family events from the ones he does. A pretty horrible way to live. Would you have written it to end that way?

Friend mentioned there is an actual original movie 43 that is hard to find. That true? He mentioned in the original Dennis Quaid is the one pitching ideas to WB. In the remake you have the kids watching the skits/videos.

I will go first: most hero oriented movies would end if bullet is used and most horror movies if a cellphone is used.

so the only things i can remember is these cars driving into a desert and shooting up a house out there killing a guys entire family. the only other part i remember is him being handcuff to a hotel bed by a lady. it’s from the 80s or 90s.

I have memories in my head of a movie that aired on the Disney Channel and that I saw in my childhood, sometime between 2010 and 2015, I guess. What I remember is that there was a girl, or group of girls, who were either traveling to or had bought an old house, kind of a mansion. But somehow, they would find a secret passage in the house and end up in another town, a sort of Wild West town and maybe in the past. And it had horses, and they had to help the town with something. Maybe it has something to do with lemonade (?) too (no, I'm not confusing it with Lemonade Mouth) or some other drink. I remember a very specific scene of a car, perhaps a convertible, driving down a dirt road with several trees planted symmetrically along it. It's impossible that I invented this all by myself.

In cape fear Robert De Niros character has a “time the avenger tattoo” and i think it’s a sick tattoo but is it from the song by the pretenders or is it just something that relates to his character?

I was watching Seven, during the scene where Somerset has dinner with Mills and his wife, I noticed Mills greeting his dogs when he arrives at his apartment. Why don't the dogs defend Tracy Mills when John Doe shows up at the apartment to kill her?
