Who was "Arch Stanton" ?
Posted by latenitetellyvision on 1 July 2010 - 11:16am.
A pivotal character in a classic movie, with very little screen time
I caught the end of the movie last night, and have teased colleagues at work today with it - to be met with blank stares and the old "I'm still in my 20's dude" excuse

The Good the Bad and the Ugly!
He was the name on the grave. what do I win?
Name on the grave NEXT to...
the unmarked one with the gold. Can I get a bonus for pedantry?
Interesting fact about that scene.
The music was written first, then the running bits choreographed to fit it.
As was..
the whole of Once Upon A Time in the West.
Great scene with wondrous Morricone music..worth yet another view
I've Googled it
so I know, but there's no way I'd have known otherwise...
I was surprised to find that a couple of my colleagues in their
20's hadn't seen it, but both would call themselves "movie fans"
It's like saying you like music, but don't know much about the HJH's
You need to know the old classics to appreciate how the whole thing (music or movies) hangs together
If you had never seen a western, you might think Star Wars was just a "Space" film..........
I think that a more effective comparison
would be "it's like saying you like music but don't know much about the Kinks"
GBU is a very good movie, but (without reopening an old and frequent debate) it ain't Casablanca/Citizen Kane/insert other contenders for "best movie ever"
Is *hugely* tempted...
...to open debate.
I used to work with a film critic
who hadn't seen Goodfellas.
I knew I knew - how about this...
Who were the "Friends of Carlotta"?
Are they in Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
The Steve Martin film? I can't quite remember who they were - perhaps the Nazi spies.
Cleaning woman!
This was the first film I bought on VHS with my own money so I watched it over and over and over. And even though I'd seen it so many times, I still went to the GFT in Glasgow when they were showing a restored print and laughed like it was going out of fashion. (Which it was at the time.)
If I ever get a puppy, I want to call him 'Ramon'.
Me too
But I had a recorded film off the telly. A real classic. if I ever hear the phrase "cleaning woman" I mentally go "cleeeaning Wooooman CLEANNNNING WOOOMAN". Genius.
Mild spoiler alert...
