"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

For me, great movies are about making something exceptional with the simple things which life has to offer (ordinary places, relationships, people, etc.). All the fictional movies with special effects, fictional places, and special characters are extras to a movie in the same way as silicone is to porn. I prefer what is real, what is raw, and generally what feels more close to my daily life instead of what is extremely woah but distant.

The important thing is never to let oneself be guided by the opinion of one's contemporaries; to continue steadfastly on one's way without letting oneself be either defeated by failure or diverted by applause.
 

Didn't  see Gangs of New York on here - outstanding acting all around in that film.

Also:

Top Gun

Top Gun: Maverick

Dark Knight and Rises
