Those are all brazilian actresses, is not that you americans can't produce beauty but you guys were going insane on how much skins was being showed on TV pre-9/11, just look at Britney vs Aguillera. After that everybody became prude so it took a few years before someone musted the courage to show a hot woman in a movie again, but that was exactly between 9/11 prudish era and the recent woke bullshit so everyone remembers Fox as some kind of sex goddess because she was basically the only one

>>212758220
I mean, Rise of the Lycans was...all right, if you're that curious about the back story, but the entire premise of the movie is seeing Kate in skin tight leather and all the vampires and gunfire and bullshit and nonsense is just window dressing. She looks good enough in the fourth and that's probably where you should cap it off anyway.

In a photo like that at an angle like that you're not going to be able to see shock cones. You really need a super super tight tracking shot, and it to be a video not a still to make out that kind of thing outside of a highly controlled environment, and even then it's not guaranteed.

The first Rocky is extremely well liked, well known, and won an Oscar but I still consider it underrated because of its association with the less serious sequels. One of the most touching, beautiful films ever made. The message is also very pure and optimistic. When you know Stallone's personal journey and how it mirrors the events of the movie it elevates it that much more. Sometimes all a man needs to achieve great things is someone believing in him. That's really powerful.

As for my entry I'd wager this shot. This scene, in this movie, with this symbolism really does it for me. I know it's a shitty quality image.

I find it hard to sit through a 90 minute long movie even now as an adult, but when I watched Gone with the Wind when I was about 18 I lost concept of time. It's nearly 4 hours long but its mesmerisingly beautiful in color, tone and soundtrack. I could have easily watched 10 hours. No wonder trannies seethe about it to this day

>>212745682
probably my favourite movie, and the photography and the set dressing are big factors for this

>>212758335

>The first Rocky is extremely well liked, well known, and won an Oscar but I still consider it underrated because of its association with the less serious sequels.
100%, though I consider the first two Rockies to be one film.
>One of the most touching, beautiful films ever made.
It is. I think the reason it is "underrated" is due to the fact that most of its impact/legacy has largely been reduced to the surface features of it: the dialogue, the cinematography, the music, the archetypes of the characters, etc.
But like you said, the story, themes, and characters have a lot more going on, especially when you read into the story of how Stallone conceived the film and his origins. It's a film about a man living in a desolate, impoverished, ruined, cold, dystopian urban hellscape of what was once the birthplace of the greatest empire that ever existed. It's about a humble, quiet, honest man who rises above the filth and depravity of his fallen city, people, and nation to become their champion. It's simultaneously, a deeply Christian film with obvious roots in the writings of Dostoyevsky and Dickens, as well as a deeply American individualist one that while taking obvious influence from Depression-era cinema, seems to be rooted in the ideals of the Founding Fathers and Walt Whitman as much as it is Ayn Rand or Horatio Alger. Stallone conceived of the film as a backlash to what he rightfully saw as a spiritually and morally bankrupt time in America whose films reflected that, and so he gave us a traditional story about a simple but virtuous man rising above the filth to become a great man ans eize his destiny.
Imo, it is undisputably, the most spiritually and morally American film ever made, which is why it is my favorite film.

It's pretty epic, especially if you can see it in a theater. The burning of Atlanta, that famous crane shot showing Scarlett walking among the wounded - hell, even the "I'll never be hungry again" scene are all amazing on the big screen. And Vivien Leigh is unspeakably great - and gorgeous - as Scarlett.

>>212756963

>>212768037
Bro you get it. It isn't just the greatest film treatment of the "American Dream" but also its implications. I agree Rocky II is basically an extension of the first and the themes it explores. Both demonstrate a deep understanding of the failings, but more importantly (and more prominently) the strengths of American culture. It's a very idealistic film in the most positive way. It's a total rebuke of cynicism.

>>212762642
It's been really fucking weird watching you zoomers become obsessed with a woman because you saw her in marvel movies during puberty. Exactly the same thing happened with carrie fisher and the boomers.

>>212757560
Cinders has my vote.

>>212768037
>>212768933
I should also add that I've watched a few interviews of Stallone that he did in the wake of Rocky and it's so evident how unbelievably intelligent and thoughtful he is. He'll never get the credit he deserves because of the Rocky and Rambo sequels, as well as movies like The Expendables (I love those too for what it's worth lol) but he's one of the greatest filmmakers of all time and I'll stand by that.

There's an alternate universe where he never met Arnie and got it in his head that he should compete with him over who's the biggest action star.
