M. Night did ruin his reputation.
He’s got dirt on somebody because I don’t know how else he keeps getting funding to make films.
And yes, that goes for the Visit and Split which fir some unknown reason are getting mildly favourable reviews.
I was watching the Philadelphia 76’s the other day and there he was sitting front row-nearly turned it off.
MY top 5 of watchable movies are:
Flight
Shawshank Redemption
Die Hard with a vengeance
Remember the Titans
The Legend of Bager Vance
Cars 2 was just too complex for a kids movie. They tried way too hard, after getting almost everything right in the first one.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
This is Spinal Tap
Crash
The Graduate
There’s Something about Mary
Top 5 that i can watch over and over
Remember The Titans
Edge of Tomorrow
Independence Day
Gladiator
Prefontaine
unlucky - would still watch these again if on tv.
Coach Carter
The Patriot / Braveheart (WIlliam Wallace) / Lethal Weapon (Mel Gibson Fan)
Shawshank Redemption used to be there but have watched too many times.
Robin Hood (old one where has the Bryan Adams I would Die for you soundtrack)
Mighty Ducks
Crocodile Dundee
The Castle
Ground Hog Day
About Time
Rocky
Jerry MCGuire
The Blind Side
American Pie
I will forever love that movie if only because it got me into Sigur Ros. But also it’s just a really great movie.
“Your cat’s dead. A rattlesnake bit it in the throat.”
Which reminds me of Royal Tenenbaums which I shall watch tonight I think.
A couple of great futuristic/sci-fi movies - AI, & Gattica
Some great movies listed here!
Mine right now would be,
Swingers
What We Do In The Shadows
Burn After Reading
Being John Malkovich
Adaptation
Brother.
Damn, but I like a movie that takes its time.
I’m the same with novels. People go on about ‘no wasted words.’
Screw that. I want all of the wasted words.
I want the running gags.
I want the part that goes nowhere, that isn’t essential to the plot.
It all adds to the story.
Otherwise, what are you left with? Matthew Reilly and Transformers and pew pew pew.
Edit: And I need a sense of humour. I don’t need it to be funny as such, but I need…irony and farce and pathos and bathos, and…Tarantino’s monologues and duologues (may not be a word)…and historical references like Coen’s OBWAT…
I like the movie as a whole, but I find this last scene particularly beautiful despite what is actually taking place.
Difficult to portray in isolation without the context of what has happened before, and deserves a big screen and powerful surround sound, but here it is nonetheless…
That sky shot at the end with the fabric falling out of the hand gets me every time !
Gosh he looks young…
Late 30’s when Braveheart was filmed.
if you actually did get beheadded, would you go instantly limp or clench?
I don’t believe an erection immediately before a beheadding would be likely !
some people are into that sorta thing
I’m looking at you Louis CK
I haven’t seen AI but Gattica is such an underrated sci fi film.
Does Enders game count as sci fi? I think that’s very underrated.
Speaking of underrated, I consider Woody Harrelson one of the most underrated actors of his generation. Top notch actor.
This thread needs more love for The Dude
shut the fck up Donnie
Depends what you mean by Beheading … …
