In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Horror. That's the only genre I enjoy dissecting and creating.
That's cool. Scat singing is a forgotten niche of jazz music and Ella Fitzgerald could definitely qualify as vocal porn
I'm keeping Starship Troopers for Sci Fi.
I'm doing my part!

War and Westerns should have been two separate categories really as there were others that could have been included like The Hunt for Red October, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Quick & The Dead, The Magnificent 7 etc.
Starship Troopers and 300 will probably appear in several categories.

Blade Runner neo noir or more sci fi?
Hmmm, I'd like to know more.
Yeah but fitting it so into 10 rounds is difficult. Some had to be paired up.
I see it as sci-fi
Yeah, no worries. It wasn't a gripe. Perhaps you could have gone Top 10? Anyway, great thread.
Unavoidable really. I'm saving Godfather for Drama for instance but I'm sure some will put it in crime/noir
Yes I'll look into this next time.
Tbf I’m sure I’ve destroyed any of your free time with endless links to Japanese and South Korean films from 2003.
Also no surprise but yes there is a blu ray rip of Starship Troopers on YouTube.
Don’t want to derail the thread but you’ve just listed many of the good things about the film!
The awful acting, the terrible dialogue, the cheesy soundtrack or why everything on screen looks like an day time soap opera(Although imo the CGI holds up really well)is all deliberately done. The genius of Verhoeven is he is willing to take the biggest risk in cinema, which is to make people think he is a bad film maker because his the goal is to how stupid fascism is.
Aaahhh, so similar to what Nic Cage’s doing? Just MAKING people think he’s a bad actor?
Genius.
I don’t want to sound ungrateful but couldn’t you have expanded so no doubling up, added a couple and got it to 16?
Then you could have got a winner of each and done a knockout of the 16 genre winners to find the ultimate film?
Just saying…
Both I'd say but definitely more sci-fi
Sci-fi still coming up!

Apocalypse Now
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

The Thin Red Line
Edit: Mixing War and Westerns was...tough. Leaving out The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford was brutal

I mean I'm all up for improving this so don't have to preface with the bold. I'll look into this next time.I don’t want to sound ungrateful but couldn’t you have expanded so no doubling up, added a couple and got it to 16?

What's this Apocalypse Now everyone's talking about?
Are... You serious?
Dead Serious.
Mate, give it a go. Classic movie. It's one of those ones like Godfather or Shawshank that everyone should at least watch once.
I figured I needed to after seeing it mentioned on here so often. The cast is top notch.
As a Western?
Less of a movie and more of an experience.
I’m joking, it‘s a good thread and I’ve started watching Bone Tomahawk as a result.

It’s really nothing that special. When did you see it? I saw it for the first time recently and got the feeling it hasn’t aged well despite seeing it once.
Enjoy it hopefully. I loved it.
I think he means Once Upon a Time in the West.
Only saw it last month. Fecking loved it. Val kilmer was amazing in this movie. So many memorable lines.
Hmmm......?
...in the West, yes.
Lots of great films in this category. Happy to see Das Boot get a lot of love as well, for example.

How Unforgiven cleaned up at the Oscars is one of the biggest jokes in Hollywood after Smith slapping Rock. And Shawshank is very overrated. Decent but not great. The Green Mile is 20x better but never seems to get the same love.
I feel the same way about Die Hard. I don't know why people love it so much. It's good but yeah... I don't get it. Don't kill me.
That's the good thing about music and movies. You make your own rules as to what is great and what is not. You don't have to 'get it'.
