What the corpus says about At Close Range (1986)

You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished At Close Range (1986) and wants to know what to watch next.

Below is what people who love movies said on three podcasts (Blank Check, The Rewatchables, The Big Picture) about At Close Range (1986) and the films around it, one line each. Every line starts with where it came from, in brackets: [show · episode · time · speaker (how sure we are it was them)]. A [pairs] line says how often two films were put side by side. A [speaker] line says what that person likes. A [bits] line lists a show's running bits: a format, not an opinion.

[The Rewatchables · ‘A Bronx Tale’ · 0:04:24 · Sean Fennessey (0.40)] At Close Range ↔ A Bronx Tale · theme · At Close Range is named as an amazing father-son movie where both are criminals. · "That's an amazing father-son movie."
[The Rewatchables · ‘A Bronx Tale’ · 1:42:19 · Chris Ryan (0.60)] A Bronx Tale ↔ This Boy's Life · programming · Ryan's and Simmons' double-feature choice is This Boy's Life, not a fun night in. · "It's not a very pleasant one, but it's boys' life."
[The Rewatchables · ‘A Bronx Tale’ · 1:42:31 · Sean Fennessey (0.50)] A Bronx Tale ↔ Rocco and His Brothers · programming · A Visconti-style Italian neorealist film is suggested as the other double feature. · "Give me some Visconti."
[The Rewatchables · ‘A Bronx Tale’ · 0:23:20 · Chris Ryan (0.60)] A Bronx Tale ⇒ The Sopranos (the host's read) · lineage · Ryan argues A Bronx Tale influenced The Sopranos more than any other movie, with Sonny and Tony Soprano close in how they hold the neighborhood. · "I think Bronx Tale... influenced the Sopranos more than any other movie, but I don't think people think that."
[The Rewatchables · ‘A Bronx Tale’ · 1:32:47 · Sean Fennessey (0.70)] A Bronx Tale ↔ Goodfellas · lineage · Fennessey wonders whether the needle drops and the Pesci cameo are purposeful homage or accident. · "I just want to know how much of what he was doing was a purposeful homage to Goodfellas"
[The Rewatchables · ‘A Bronx Tale’ · 0:02:23 · Bill Simmons (0.80)] A Bronx Tale ↔ Boyz n the Hood · theme · Both appear on Simmons' list of eight father-son movies. · "Bronx Tale, Kramer versus Kramer.

[The Rewatchables · ‘A Bronx Tale’ · 0:02:57 · Bill Simmons (0.50)] Catch Me If You Can ↔ A Bronx Tale · theme · Catch Me If You Can is argued to be sneakily a father-son film. · "I think that's like the sneaky theme in that movie."
[The Rewatchables · ‘A Bronx Tale’ · 0:04:47 · Chris Ryan (0.30)] Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ↔ A Bronx Tale · theme · Last Crusade is offered as a father-son film among filmmakers who rarely make them. · "Well, I guess last Crusade's a Father-son movie."
[speaker] Sean Fennessey · latest sketch, The Big Picture · ‘Resident Evil’ Absolutely Rips! · Loves gory, funny, fast genre movies with craft and confidence, especially 87-minute films that never overstay. Can't stand ponderous elevated horror that fills out its runtime with introspection and sad family history. A sucker for the Carpenter-era lineage, Die Hard homages, and directors who break studio dogma. · stances: Resident Evil is one of the best films of the year; Horror movies have become a drag; fun genre experiences are needed; Short running times are a virtue; Video-game films work best when great filmmakers get creative license
[bits] The Rewatchables: Apex Mountain (The moment a star peaks; where on the mountain a performance sits); Who Won the Movie (The hosts name the person who came out of the film best off); The Ebert review (Roger Ebert's original review and star rating read aloud. Ebert is cited, never on the show); Casting what-ifs (Who was almost cast, or who should have been); Most rewatchable scene (The scene each host would stop on while flipping channels); Aged best / aged worst (What holds up and what does not); Picking Nits (The little things in a film the hosts love that they don't think totally work: the nits); Double feature (The film each host would pair it with; a programming pick)

Recommend three to six films, and only films that appear in these lines. A series, a TV film, or a franchise counts too when a line recommends it or pairs it with At Close Range (1986); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend At Close Range (1986) itself. For each one, give one short reason in your own words and say whose reason it is: the show, named exactly as the brackets name it, and the speaker when the line names one (an "unknown" speaker is just the show). If the lines are thin, say so plainly rather than stretching them.

Keep a contrast a contrast. When a line sets two films apart, the reason is how they differ; never turn it into a way they're alike. A line with ⇒ puts the source first and what drew on it second, and one marked "the maker said so" is still the host reporting it: say who said it, and never state an influence as fact.

You know only what's on these lines. Add no fact they don't state: not who directed a film, not what kind of film it is, not when it came out, unless a line says so. Say nothing about the store or how anything rents here.

Talk the way a clerk talks to a customer at the counter: plain text, titles written plainly with no asterisks or other markup, no headings, no lists of more than six, no JSON.
