it doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. good actors will be good actors no matter the background. using a random example because the two used to be married and were in multiple films where their (excellent) acting can be directly compared: Kenneth Branagh trained at RADA and was so talented he performed a soliloquy for the Queen once as a student, Emma Thompson never trained (she studied English at Cambridge) but got her start working in many comedy series and in a West End musical.

Not the biggest fan of "Coming of Age" comedies but I did love Book Smart.

those are two different things lol

I stand by the top 8. that just feels like the core of the entire portfolio.

Chungking Express

Fury - war films

I feel the same. Not into westerns either but Doc set in a western setting was the perfect way to end that trilogy. The other western that I like is The Magnificent Seven. ...well, maybe that and The Three Amigos which is the comedy version of The Magnificent Seven.

Same with A League of Their Own and The Replacements.

"Anybody order fried sauerkraut?"

In Fury where they prance the officer out that was hanging women and children. Then load him full bullets

👍🏼

You took it as a non lightened tone. same answer though

This is just for fun lighten up. If anything this distinction shows that acting school isn’t necessary to become an actor as many actors feel pressured to study acting in college

Not an important distinction

It's really one list as the ones who didn't, imitate the ones who did by and large.

Howl’s moving castle, romance

Jarhead and Black Hawk Down are personal favorites too

I’m not a fan of comic book hero movies. Husband had to force me to watch Guardians of the Galaxy but I really dug it.

Big, big fan of the two vanity projects made by transcendently untalented starlet/belly-dancer Nai Bonet in 1979 and 1980, Nocturna and Hoodlums. Especially Nocturna, an achingly unfunny disco-era "comedy" about Dracula's granddaughter, in which the reason Bonet never achieved stardom becomes immediately apparent the minute she opens her mouth. ("Good ev-en-ing The-o-dore have-you-seen-my-grand-fa-ther.") The only good thing about it is the immortal Brother Theodore as Nocturna's lust-wracked Renfield, and that's because he improvised all his dialogue ("Am I never going to be her little yum-yum? Is she never going to invade my bed and abuse me carnally?!").

Well, I mean, it tracks to like that movie if you hate comedy 😅

I can’t stand horror, especially movies with a lot of on screen deaths.

That said, I absolutely love the Scream franchise

Despite their fairly short amount of screentime, I loved Akira and Shimazu in 4
