>one of those movies that fell through the cracks
did it though? big name cast (all of the principals remain relevant to this day), Oscar noms, good BO, i don't see why it shouldn't be more popular (here and elsewhere)
could say the same for great expectations and a few other movies I guess. had deniro, hawke, paltrow, etc.
many of the oscar bait movies just vanish a few years after receiving rewards. like do you remember the king's speech? I barely do either. then you got shit like the english patient that won like 12 oscars and it wasn't mentioned here once. partially because it's fricking boring
fair enough. just saying many of those movies are forgotten quickly. besides, someone claimed the academy awards are more or less just advertising for big movies performed slowly or such.
unrelated do you remember the legend of 1900? actually I'm unsure if I would call it oscar bait either, but... mhm.
am looking at his imdb and he did a few high profile movies inbetween. would say all the pretty horses is the end of it with jay and silent bob basically basically being him making fun of himself and ocean's eleven being a new phase.
its good but i dont know if theres much to talk about. there isnt any question about whether tom ripley is a redeemable person or not. everything works out for him, marge who is correct on the whole plot is dismissed as a raving woman. what kind of commentary can we have on the movie today?
maybe the funniest part of the movie is how psh plays a character that is not really his norm.
i haven't actually seen it, but just on the surface level Delon's way too handsome and suave to play Ripley, i'm not sure he can portray that weird, soulless-behind-the-eyes quality that Damon does so well (in this and The Departed)
not believable, he didnt drink the bathwatercum
that's from Saltburn, isn't it? that's what got me to post this thread and to start a rewatch of Ripley, wanted to rewatch it before i watch Saltburn (no spoilers please)
It was great watching it at the theatre, especially the start with that lovely piano song sung by Sinead O'Connor and how it opens with him playing it at a swanky party, very stylish opening
jude law has been a really good actor and he should've gotten a bit more recognition for the stuff hes done over the years, bar the real mainstream bits (sherlock holmes movies with RDJ)
I thought it was weird but interesting when I watched it in the 90s. Haven’t seen it since but the boat scene where cracked dude in the head is what I remember most
>why is this kino never mentioned on Cinemaphile?
Because you are a worthless newbie. That movie is 20 years old. There have been numerous threads about it.
90s - early 2000s is largely a memory hope atm apart from a few favourites; too old to be current, not old enough to be a period of focus for legacy re-releases and reappraisal
one of those movies that fell through the cracks. also the 13 year olds around here prolly never heard about it

It could've been a trilogy but Damon was busy making 'Stuck On You' when the sequel was filmed with Malkovich. That's just a bit of trivia.

i do, i actually like it and rewatched it this year. and Ripley's not really Oscar bait

-MADE:
$129+ mil on a $40 mil budget
-NOMINATED FOR:
4 Oscars
5 Golden Globes
7 BAFTA's
but where is the movie now? you could leave a dvd on the side of the road and it wouldn't get picked up
same as any movie that's 25 years old
Is that Fantastic Mr. Fox?
anyone seen this? i've always meant to watch it, but never got around to it
He wasn't that talented after all, that Mr. Ripley. Totally forgettable film. I remember seeing it, but that's all I remember. Must have been shite.
1960 version is much better

was this matt damons "arthouse" phase? I remember he did a few of those during that time including the one where joined skull and bones
>arthouse phase
Did it start with The Rainmaker?
No those Grishamflicks were high profile films at the time, though they probably wouldn't be today.
Too Anglo for modern Cinemaphile.
Inferior version.
The old adpatation is superior.

Girls today are still watching the Delon in the market scene and talking about how hot he is which continuously brings it back into pop culture
Delon is a one-in-a-billion chad.
Incomparable.
French Jude Law.
nah Delon had absolute perfect hair and his eyebrows was underrated.
I don't think enough people have seen it and those that have seen it don't like it. My threads about it here always die within like 30 posts max.
people have seen it, its just nobody cares about rich twats. how many threads you see about The Last Days Of Disco?
>literally me: homosexual edition
not believable, he didnt drink the bathwatercum
Degrees Of Separation did it better
Six

This movie gives me the worst feels. Everytime I make a new friend I overstay my welcome. Feels bad man
'I played him as though he were a virgin' Matt Damon on acting as Ripley.
Yes that made me uncomfortable when I read that at the time
