Episode 317: Classics We Hate
Manage episode 240267857 series 2401153
Buried Cinema is nine years old. Usually we celebrate a milestone by reviewing some classic or tentpole of cinema. This year, we're going a slightly different route. We are reviewing classics, but each one of us picked a "classic" we hate. We begin with a delightful musical that musical fan Nate hates, 1954's WHITE CHRISTMAS. Next we discuss Brian's choice, one of the most egregious Best Picture Academy Award-winners ever, 1956's AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS (segment begins at 19:15). Next up is another Best Picture winner, and a deserving one, unless you ask Kevin, who hates 1965's THE SOUND OF MUSIC (begins at 41:01). Tom picked a "fun" war movie that nobody else even knew of, 1970 Clint Eastwood vehicle KELLY'S HEROES (1:01:45). Last of our despised classics is self-professed "sci-fi guy" Steve's pick of 1982 (or 2007, depending on how you judge these things) tech-noir standard BLADE RUNNER (1:19:28). Finally we look forward to a couple of animated movies that are NOT Disney... we think.
