The King of Comedy is great. If you like feeling awkward and uncomfortable for 2 hours you'll love it.

Haha, that's exactly what Scorsese wanted you to feel, too. He was going through a painful breakup at the time and poured all of that awkwardness into Rupert Pupkin.The Third Man wrote:The King of Comedy is great. If you like feeling awkward and uncomfortable for 2 hours you'll love it.
Of Scorsese's two 80's comedies, I prefer After Hours but they're both good.

I did. Haven't seen it probably since it came out. Seems like it should be more of a cultural touchstone than it is.

Pretty good Western. Peck- an east coast gentleman meets the West. Great cast and performances - Jean Simmons, Burl Ives, Peck, Chuck Connors, Heston etc. Great use of the sweeping landscape. No Native American element to the storyline -which is good because that era tended to screw that up. Maybe a tad too long - trying to be like a "Gone with the Wind".

Finally saw The Hurt Locker. Pretty cool I guess, but maybe a little overrated.
