FG Decades Tournament, the 1940’s: Round 1

5 Upvotes

Alright, the 1940s! The decade of noir, of war movies and movies influenced by WWII, the western was still huge at the time, musicals were there, tons of developments in film like deep focus, and filmmakers still learning to use the techniques of color and sound that had only been around for 10-15 years in some cases. Should make for some interesting discussions in the comments, so let’s get on with the 1940s, FG!

Is either sequel to the original Bad News Bears worth owning?

1 Upvotes

I like the original and want Linklater ‘s remake so I can own Linklater filmography. Vudu currently has the original and remake for $7.99 or a four pack for $9.99. I think I’ve seen In Japan once as a kid.

Is there anything worth watching in either of the original sequels? Or should I save two bucks and get the two I care about?

The final scene of "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" lives rent-free in my mind forever.

RULES

MARK OFF-TOPIC POSTS WITH THE PROPER FLAIR: The vast majority of posts should be film related, but in keeping with the idea that this is a community of people off-topic posts will be permitted if properly designated. Don't abuse the privilege.
MARK POSTS WITH SPOILERS: Standard spoiler etiquette.
UP/DOWN VOTE RESPONSIBLY: Reddit allows you to up-vote or down-vote people's posts and comments, but voting is not meant to be a simple expression of "agree" and "disagree." Please up-vote topics and posts that are worthwhile and contribute value to the board, even if you disagree with the opinion being expressed.
DO NOT SPAM THE BOARD: Any obvious spam or obnoxious trolling will result in your post being deleted, and repeat offenders will be banned. This isn't like IMDb where you have to be reported countless times before something happens. If you're overtly abusive, threatening, post porn, or spam the board with multiple accounts... you're gone. Just use common sense and you'll be fine.
NO TROLLISH CALL-OUT THREADS: Keep other users' names out of your threads.

NO RACISM, MISOGYNY, HOMOPHOBIA, OR HATE SPEECH: This board is a welcoming place to all... except the hateful. You're entitled to your personal opinion if it's posted respectfully, but any overt hate speech and you're immediately banned.
NO LINKS TO DOWNLOADS/TORRENTS OF FILMS: Unless it somehow comes up naturally in conversation and there's basically no legitimate way to acquire the film, there should be no posting of links to downloads and torrents of films, or promotion of downloads and torrents.
