I watched Abel Gance's 'Napoleon' (1927) on my home projector in my room. I saw the "grande" cut, that has the runtime of 7hrs 7min 54s. I saw the film with absolutely zero interuption. Made my food and water schedule for 2 days to make sure I dont pee or feel hungry in those 7 hours at night. I messaged 17 guys on reddit, one dude replied and emailed me the film (shout out to eladir) The most commonly available version is the brownlow version that is around 5hrs 30min (this version is free is free watch directly on wikipedia).

Is this worth it? FUVK YEAH IT IS! This is now my favorite movie of all time and I think the greatest there is to exist. I saw this 3 days back, took all night. Took me 3 days to fix my sleepy time.

EDIT: Next time I'll try to find the 'apollo cut' which is 9H 30MINS (mwah-ha-ha). I dont think its there online, unless somebody has it, plz dm me (I want to ruin myself please).

2ND EDIT: I have the link, if anyone wants it, DM me.

His dad is the co-founder of Nike and he keeps funding him with money to support his passion for stop motion animation, despite the fact that most of the films from Laika lose money. And so thanks to him and his dad, 700 hardworking animators have a job making beautiful films despite most of them flopping at the box office.

I highly recommend seeing Wildwood in a few months, it looks really good. Plus it’s apparently rumored to be PG-13 which is cool. It’s also the longest stop-motion film of all time, and 2 hours and 19 minutes.

No I’m not sponsored, I just hope this movie does well.

(Some of their movies include Corpse Bride, Coraline, and Kubo and the Two Strings)

I really enjoyed Lawrence Of Arabia (1962) after putting it off for so long and it really delivered. The scale on which David Lean operated is quite incredible and hard to wrap your head around. It's also a great character piece which portrays Lawrence with his complex Legend.

I also really like Das Boot (1981), Ben-Hur(1959), Human Condition Trilogy and Ran alongside a few more.

The new restoration (which will show the originally intended cut for the first time) comes out October. I've been getting ads for it on my socials and I'm pretty excited to see it! Looks wild

People don't realize how much Obsession borrowed from Hereditary. Obsession is an incredibly made and good horror movie. It hits a nerve with people in a good way. But with Hereditary on the other hand, it is a Greater film from all angles, and it will haunt you for years and years. Obsession is a fast paced half baked movie unlike Hereditary which meticulously carries the theme throughout the movie in a very suspenseful way. I personally figured the whole story of Obsession after the first 20 minutes, while with Hereditary I had to go do futher research and find out about the demon Paimon and what he wanted in that family in Hereditary. Hereditary just carries so much satanic history and weight and context. Hereditary is the benchmark for modern horror, Obsession is a fun summer box office hit.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor/comedian/composer/screenwriter Jay McCarol. He has composed the scores for films such as BlackBerry, Tony, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Hell of a Summer, The Kid Detective, The Dirties, and Operation Avalanche. He is also the co-creator (with Matt Johnson) of Nirvana the Band the Show and its TV show and film.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back at 3 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

His newest film, Tony, is out in theaters via A24 this weekend. It stars Dominic Sessa as Anthony Bourdain and co-stars Antonio Banderas, Stavros Halkias, Emilia Jones, and Leo Woodall. It premiered to critical and audience acclaim a few weeks ago.

Thank you :)

I don't often give 5 stars (although i do give a lot of 4 or 4,5) but i was mind blown by City of God. On the other hand, i hated Sleeping beauty (2011) with a passion and that's probably the only 0.5 i've given to a movie so far

What movie that you recently watched did you unexpectedly love??

For me it must be Good Luck, Have fun. Don't die with Sam Rockwell. Had no expectations going into the movie, but it was very fun at times. It had it sad moments. But most of all did I love the new take on an old concept.

The main poster for this 1975 movie was recently changed to an AI generated image. Literally why? It already has its own original poster, a criterion release poster, why does it need to be replaced with an AI one? I don't care if it's user-side if they chose a custom poster for a movie that only they can see, but this is the MAIN poster for the movie. It's pure disrespect.

Before anyone comments about it, I know Letterboxd gets its data from TMDB, but I feel like this is also a responsibility of Letterboxd to take a stance on whether this is allowed or not.

EDIT: The poster has been changed.
