George Clooney starred in a TV remake of Fail Safe in the year 2000, which was performed and broadcast live. So that's cool that he picked it.

George Clooney directed "Good Night, and Good Luck", and in his picks you can see the references 😮😅😊.

From all the interviewees that had made me say “damn, what a good taste,” George Clooney is my most unexpected one. Also, very encyclopedic knowledge

I believe Network is prescient.

His picks are pretty standard but I was surprised by his knowledge, maybe he spent too much time with Soderbergh

Makes sense for Joel to pick Fargo. He and his brother made a film called The Square that is basically Australian Fargo (it's also good as hell).

@shane505 5 ай бұрын

Similar vibes, would say its a literal Aussie Fargo, but damn The Square is so fucking good. Massively underrated.

Bicycle Thieves is a magnificent film, incredibly moving. Great pick from Joel.

I’ve been looking through all the four favorites waiting for someone to say Bicycle Thieves. Easily the best movie ever. No professional actors, scrounging for film stock and shot in a demoralized Italy. Just perfect.

Joel Edgerton has peak taste

Completely agree with what he says about the ending of bicycle thieves, I felt a punch in my stomach. It’s also one of my top 4

I like Joel picking E. T. That movie is a total classic, but you never hear anyone picking it as their favorite.

I've heard some people speculate that George Clooney, despite being so charismatic, possibly has Asperger's. His encyclopedic knowledge here makes that rumor plausible.

I'm going to look for Joel Edgerton on letterboxd!😉 Anyway great choiche for George Clooney a Callum Turner!

Aight time to watch some movies

@Jacobunny Ай бұрын

Some fun picks here. FAIL SAFE is a great watch and Joel picked E.T. We're a similar vintage and I didn't love it as a kid liked many seemed to, but rewatched it with my kids a few years back and it was way better than I remembered - still stand up well.

Well done Callum for picking The Parallax View and Barry Lyndon

I only watched Barry Lyndon fairly recently. The acting seems a bit creaky at first but when it gets going it definitely is one of the best things I've ever seen.

Joel Edgerton is a real one for saying the CORRECT title for The Bicycle Thief. No, it's not Bicycle Thieves, Letterboxd!

@billhaverchuck3745 5 ай бұрын

The original title is "Ladri di biciclette". Plural.

@nuntiuso7347 5 ай бұрын

If you’ve seen the movie, there’s more than one thief.

@psykomyko730 5 ай бұрын

@@billhaverchuck3745 Even so, calling it Bicycle Thieves takes away from the heart of the film, which is about a father and the transgression he makes because of the circumstances he is in. @nuntiuso7347 I understand that, but the title for me should reflect what the story is about, which is the father and his son and his transgression.

@pedterson 5 ай бұрын

@@psykomyko730 Nah, it doesn't take away "from the heart of the film". There's a good reason why the original title uses the plural form. Think about the relation between the first thief and the second. What's different about the circumstances that they're in? They both live through the same destitution, where having or losing a bicycle can make or break you and your family, and they both act on the same desperation. The title tells you that Antonio's is just one of many such stories in the struggle for survival among the poor.
