Sean Bryan: Filmography

Step Brothers

It's worth watching at least once for Richard Jenkins.

If you're looking for perfect background noise, you've found it.

The Other Guys

As a one-viewing comedy, I gave it four stars. I found it to be surprisingly better than the trailers led me to believe.

Cape Fear

An unnecessary remake and definitive proof that gore, profanity, and twisted scenarios don't amount to real horror. Watch the original.

Inception

One of the most inventive films I've ever seen. Perhaps it had a flawed emotional core, but I prefer it to the overacting of esoteric darlings.

The Big Lebowski

A surprisingly deep comedy-mystery. I'd be wasting my breath competing with Rob Ager: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqBsY4JvaJA

The Big Lebowski

When you're young, this film engages and moves you. Then you grow up. You realize the themes are obvious and ham-fisted. And the technical razzle-dazzle is nothing more than noise to distract you from unlikeable, grating caricatures. The only redeeming quality is its soundtrack. I haven't read the original Tarantino script, but plan to.

Wall Street

At first, an American tale of success that makes you want to stick it to Ivy Leaguers, union laborers, incompetent middle managers (you know who you are), and welfare cases. Then we descend into the American nightmare. All money. No security. No life. No love. Oliver Stone has had many misses and confuses box office success for a political mandate, but this film is pretty unassailable. Except for Daryl Hannah...

Cinema Paradiso

Words cannot describe the beauty of this film. It touches the soul of aspiring filmmakers everywhere.

Cinema Paradiso

A blind-buy DVD purchase for me and now my favorite film of all time. For the purists, I've seen it twice in theaters, thank you. Leone's camerawork was nothing short of revolutionary, Ennio Morricone's score is unforgettable, and the characters were reserved in their performances.

The Last Emperor

Mesmerizing. Reminds me why I fell in love with cinema in the first place.

Schindler's List

I'm going to go out on a limb here and call it the greatest film ever made. Why? Because it's the most important film ever made. I doubt even a masochist could enjoy this film it's that horrific and made all the more real by Spielberg at his visual peak.

Schindler's List

The high-point of Tarantino's career. I've heard many gripe about the historical absurdity of it all, but isn't Saving Private Ryan equally guilty of this, if not more so, by teaching a young generation that Omaha beach was taken in 30 minutes and supply lines were in place by that afternoon? At least Inglourious Basterds delighted in its absurdity! The demise of a certain character set to Un Amico... pure magic.

Back to the Future

Don't stop, Wilbur! Drive! Who could forget this 1985 time capsule? I was born in 1987, so it's hard for me to distinguish factual from fictional nostalgia (like 4 gas station attendants for one car). In my opinion, all three Back to the Future movies are on the A-list of adventure movies and should be watched together.

Chungking Express

It's a film that just makes you feel good, and that's rare. Perhaps the cover of The Cranberries' "Dreams" has something to do with it?
