it was hardly even a movie! it was a fucking play that they taped.  there was nothing cinematic about that one-act whatsoever.  it all took place in  one room.  i'll bet it would have made a fine play to see, but can you explain why that was even a watchable movie?
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

That movie has some great quotes:

"Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here."
"People who talk in metaphors oughta shampoo my crouch."

But to keep with the topic, I don't think anyone dies in Raging Bull.

Phone Booth.. pretty well just at a phone booth. Good movie though, yes?  Case in point: it can still be good even if it looks staged like a play.

And I was scanning the thread and sure enough, the LAST post takes the one I was gonna say: Raging Bull. Good call, Gamblor. I don't recall anyone dying either. Other ones I can think of: Singin' in the Rain, Five Easy Pieces, The Producers..

I was gonna say Raging Bull too, but remembered that in the first boxing match, the guy who LaMotta loses to dies in the ring.

Thank you Mr. Orange.

Phonebooth and Big Kahuna are both donkey turds.

What I thought made The Big Kahuna so good were the performances and screenplay. It really works as a character study or I guess I should say characters study. It's got a lot of intellegence and humor. But I can understand why people didn't like it. It's hard to make a whole movie with nothing but dialouge in one room and make it work. But I thought it did.
