There's some serious Kino in made-for-HBO movies, especially during the '90s (before their TV production really started). Let's discuss some good ones.
Citizen Cohn: James Woods as Sen. Joe MccArthy's top attorney during the red scare. He died of AIDs in the '80s and was a mentor of God-Emperor Trump himself

I like Gotti with Armond Assanti, whatever happened to Assanti anyway?
Behind the Candelabra: my personal favorite, reminds me of me
The Late Shift
ie Letterman vs Leno

Seriously underappreciated movie.
"I wash my hands BEFORE I touch muh dick"
>Kelsey Grammer
based
>Carey Ewles
double based
Did they actually star in this or was it a documentary?
10/10 casting
...
No, not a documentary. It was mainly about the fact that Letterman REALLY wanted the Tonight Show and didn't get it and wasn't really happy that he got his own show anyway.
Who was a better Cohn? Pacino or Woods
this one's fuckin weird. Dennis Hopper as a 1950s detective out to stop magic and monsters
except the magic and monsters symbolize communism
And the Band played On
Gotti
The Late Shift
The Falcon and The Snowman (I think that was HBO)
...
A Normal Heart was pretty good if you don't mind Mark Ruffalo fagging out
how's this one?
Pretty good. Which reminds me, Recount (also an HBO movie - with Kevin Spacey and Dennis Leary about the disputed US election in 2000) is even better. Check them both out
>And the Band played On
Seconded. Great movie.
really makes you think
seems timely, I'll watch this as soon as I'm done with pic related (written and directed by david mamet desu)
Damon is a manipulative bastard leeching off of a dying Liberace, is that right?
this guy is an underrated guy
DUDE POLITICAL BIOPICS LMAO
good movies desu
this is great.
barbarians at the gate is probably my favorite. its about the leveraged buyout of nabisco. its better than the big short
I like Mamet's plays a lot more than his films. It's not that they're bad, just OK-ish. If you read his book 'On Directing Film', you'll see that he has devised what is practically a scientific formula for creating the perfect 'average' film.
