Blow
The Goodfellas

Tell me more about this “The Goodfellas”. Is that a sequel/prequel?

I think that was supposed to be one title.

"Blow the Goodfellas"

It was a sequel focused on their goomars.

Does Wizard of Oz qualify? From black and white shitty Kansas, to sci-fi monkeys flying around.

Tombstone.  The tonal and cinematography shift after the Earps  leave town is very profound. And it wasn’t just the firing of the director. The vast bulk of the movie wasn’t shot at that point.

This is a good catch, one of those things I always noticed but never thought too deeply about.

I wouldn’t say Tombstone switches genres though. It’s still a pretty traditional western all the way through. Definitely a fave of mine.

Their both westerns, just two very different westerns.  One is very intimate, character driven, almost claustrophobic.  The other very sweeping and open.  It's like the first half is Pale Rider and the second half is a bit Dances with Wolves.  It's very different from say, Unforgiven, which always feels like the same movie, regardless of character or setting.

I'm trying to decide if Contact belongs on this list.

Definitely felt different by the time she was on her journey to wherever the wormholes took her.

Barbarian has a lot of tittays on screen - you'd dig it the most.

First up...From Dusk Til Dawn.

First half of the movie is a roadtrip with a kidnapping. Tense and creepy.

Second half is balls out vampires and gore and killings. 

First movie that came to mind.  It's been forever, but I remember loving the first half and wanting to quit on the second.

Boogie Nights - the transition from the 70's to the 80's was jarring.

Cloverfield 1.  Starts out as "Boy loses girl..." movie and then BAM.  Monsters.

I thought was dumb. Have to accept a lot of behavior that would never happen to believe characters would be in danger. 

The original Superman with Christopher Reeve was three movies.

His trip to earth and growing up was a fuzzy, reverent show.

His life in Metropolis with Lois Lane was an early super hero sitcom, complete with bad puns. 

After Luthor fires his missiles, it's like one of the later Japanese Godzilla movies, with miniature sets and physically impossible action sequences (I mean beyond the impossibility of a man with super strength flying. Even if he could do all that stuff, the things he did wouldn't have worked even in the physics of the created world.) 

I don't know what the hell that "flying with Lois" sequence was about.

That reminds me,

has anybody said "Jaws"? First half all on land with monster picking people off one by one, second half all on water with epic battle between shark and men.

Recently watched this on a flight, and is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the thread title

Blues Brothers

Half the movie is Jake and Elwood's religious calling/getting the band back together...

...the other half is band together at Ray's, Bob's, Palace hotel Ballroom, Maury's steam room, Jail.

"Mother" belongs on this list. What in the actual fuck?!

Goodfellas is a great example. Goes from mob flick to drug dealer flick.

Hmmm is it really a shift to a "different movie" like some of the other examples?

Seems to me it's a mob flick through and through, it's just that there is a tonal shift starting with the Billy Batts hit and then a downward spiral from there, culminating with the coke-fueled gun-selling, sauce stirring, helicopter spying day in May 1980.

I think the same thing about Boogie Nights, which obviously borrowed heavily from Goodfellas.... there's a tonal shift when Little Bill kills himself at the NYE 1980 party, but it still feels like the same movie through and through.

Tell us you've never shown off to get laid without telling us.

Not quite halfway through, but the video of the 2022/2023 Texas Men's Basketball season recap is going to have a dramatic switch when it comes out...

Titanic. Totally unexpected too.

The Caine Mutiny.  First half is the moral imperative to remove Captain Queeg before he gets the crew killed.  Second was the trial and how in the cold calm of the courtroom, the facts didn't look the same.

i'm going to swing in from the rafters on this one but i am going to nominate national lampoon's christmas vacation.

my premise is that prior to the eddie showing up, clark is a goofball fuckup who does non-stop stupid shit and engages in physical destruction comedy.

after eddie shows up, he's pretty much a normal, every-man who is annoyed with his useless fuckup in-laws but finally snaps when louis burns down the living room.
