WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

Because you said no one would know it.

Toilety green filter.  Leather coats, sunglasses.  Even just vaguely recalling them makes you feel a bit queasy and sluggish.

= the Matrix sequels.

Under the Skin.

This is the film which immediately popped into my head when I read the thread's title.

Today yes, but I reckon it'll get into public consciousness, like Blade Runner did. It'll be parodied and homaged in so many things the imagery will seep down, sort of like how many people ended up with a weird innate knowledge of Twin Peaks without ever having seen the TV series.

I too have long thought that in decades to come, Under the Skin will be remembered as a classic masterpiece and will have entered the public consciousness.  If it doesn't, then it certainly deserves to.

Heh. Christ, imagine the thread if I'd decided to post films with "iconic" behind the scenes abuse...

Gone Girl - cool girls/The Reveal

Much as we all can't stand Johnny Depp these days, Captain Jack Sparrow is most definitely an icon.

At the time I thought Bridges in True Grit would enter the public consciousness more than it has, I spose lacking a really iconic line.

A collective one for various bohemiann women with blue hair, Eternal Sunshine, Scott Pilgrim, Blue is the Warmest, etc.

Keeping on a cohen brothers tip, O Brother, Where Art Thou? was the first time a digital intermediate was used on the entirety of a film that didn't have much in the way of computerised effects, it's because they used a digital rather than a traditional filter or chemical process to give it the sepia tone.



Anyhow, the reason it should be viewed as iconic is because it paved the way for a decade where colourists got carried away and turned pretty much everything on screen a shade of teal or orange.







So basically anything that doesn't look like that should get a mention.

It's mental to think that Fellini and Jean Luc Godard could create beauty with one black and white camera and 3 lights, yet people like Micheal Bay can spend thousands of dollars per frame at a rendering farm and the end result looks like someone's vomited lego all over the floor.
