I used to. Grand Illusion is the more accessible one. The Rules of the Game has a very strange tone that's different from almost every other movie. It's funny, but not laugh out loud funny, all the way through. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be laughing or not the first time I saw it. Until the scene where they're all beating each other up, that was hilarious, but then the ending isn't funny at all. Once you realize that the whole movie is satire, you watch it again, and realize how clever and subtle it is, and even the ending becomes a little funny. The last line makes me chuckle.

(not the guy you're answering to but I have the same stance as him)
Yeah, that's what I think. I've only seen Rules of the Game once (mainly because it was 1 month ago, I want to wait a bit before a rewatch), but that's definitely a film that deserves another watch to really appreciate it. I got the fact that it was satire etc., and it was funny (like you said, not laugh out loud funny), but it made me feel that I should see it another time to really get it. But from what I saw, the characters, dialogue, pacing etc. were excellent.
La Grande Illusion had more emotional impact on me though, and with just one watch, so for the moment I prefer it.But it has less rewatchability.

Hawks best movie of the 30s was Bringing Up Baby, he usually excelled in screwball comedies.
>>63323920
L'Atalante is better than half of these
>>63324071
Scarface was half-screwball comedy, that's the reason it caused such an outrage when it came out.
>>63324071
Have to disagree. Recently rewatched it, as part of going through Richard Brody's top ten American films, of which that was one. Hepburn is transcendent and a joy to watch, and listen to. Grant's reacting to her and their interplay is charming. Otherwise, there's not too much to love. Flawed ending in which after abhorring her for the entire film he suddenly and without reason falls in love just as it's time to end. I understand Hawks cut some scenes of them warming up, but as it is, it's just out of left field. It's cute, it's fun, but I don't see the masterpiece my boy Brody or you sees and much prefer Scarface.

Another film that didnt live up to the hype for me. She's endearing, it's lovely at points, that's about it.
>>63323653
It's a shitty meme.
Spanish Dracula
Anyone listen to Gilbert Gottfried's podcast? Highly recommend it to fans of old Hollywood, comedy, horror. He and his co-host are great fans of, and really knowledgable about those times and have a lot of interesting guests. He's always doing his Bela Lugosi which reminded me. Dracula's certainly a great from that decade.
