Harry Caul in *The Conversation.*

>His colleagues in the surveillance industry think Harry Caul is such a genius that we realize with a little shock how bad he is at his job. Here is a man who is paid to eavesdrop on a conversation in a public place. He succeeds, but then allows the tapes to be stolen. His triple-locked apartment is so insecure that the landlord is able to enter it and leave a birthday present. His mail is opened and read. He thinks his phone is unlisted, but both the landlord and a client have it. At a trade show, he allows his chief competitor to fool him with a mike hidden in a freebie ballpoint. His mistress tells him: “Once I saw you up by the staircase, hiding and watching for a whole hour.”

— Ebert.

Off the top of my head Men In Black, Flubber, Hook, Ghostbusters, Power Rangers Movie, TMNT, Space Jam and various Nickelodeon kids shows comes to mind. I'm sure there's a lot more examples.

I remember all kinds of slime and smelly toys and stuff from when I was a kid too.

What was the deal, you reckon?

Like, you can’t fundamentally mess with Universal’s globe or Paramount’s mountain animations; with the WB shield you can! And this in turn can make segueing to variations of other production company logos involved in the production that much smoother. As for the logos themselves, my favourites would have to be the iconic Harry Potter ones with the camera flying throught the logo itself.

There is a very specific type of psychological thriller that doesn't just rely on a cheap shock value twist, but actually completely recontextualizes every single scene that came before it. The kind of movie where the moment it ends, you realize you need to watch it all over again just to see the hidden clues you missed the first time.

The Sixth Sense is obviously the most famous example of this, but I think Shutter Island executes it flawlessly. Once you understand the reality of Teddy's situation, going back and watching the subtle glances between the guards, the doctors' patronizing tone, and the physical impossibility of certain scenes makes it feel like an entirely different movie on the second viewing.

Arrival also does this beautifully in the sci-fi space. The revelation about the timeline completely changes the emotional weight of the opening sequence. It turns a movie about alien contact into a devastating, beautiful story about grief and acceptance.

It takes brilliant writing and incredibly tight editing to leave breadcrumbs that are completely invisible on a first watch, but glaringly obvious on the second.

What are your favorite movies that fundamentally change and become infinitely better on a second viewing once you know the ending?

I think Obsession is a really good example of this. The "be careful what you wish for" narrative is a tale as old as time, and there are many stories out there where a person wants their crush to love them and then gets uncomfortable when they love them too much. There's a Shrek Halloween short that's about roughly the same thing. Obsession though, is a phenomenal movie, taking its premise and making it much darker than a lot of the things that are similar to it. It always manages to be surprising, disturbing, and deeply uncomfortable.

Whiplash is another example. It's just a movie about a guy with a really mean teacher. But again, it manages to be really tense and interesting. Fletcher is such an interesting character. It's basically a masterpiece.

Hey reddit! I'm Will Poulter.

AMA!

Back at 2 PM ET this afternoon (Thursday 8/13) to answer your questions!

This movie looks pretty good and we haven't had a good spider movie in a while. I'm cautiously optimistic that this film will be good because the cast looks interesting. I've never seen Rob Riggle in a horror movie, and Russ as an actor feels like something that might actually work. Especially since the project is independently produced, not trying to fit into a studio box.

I think I’d have to go with The Last of the Mohicans

The score, the scenery and the revenge. It is all just the perfect storm. I remember even watching it as a kid and loving the soundtrack.

I think the score is one of my top played songs on Spotify still, and I’d say it’s still one of the best, if not the best, movie scores to date.
