Movie Thread

[DarthVader1022]

For me anything that is Sci-Fi..

 

Every Star Wars movie as I am big fan of the series..

 

Battlestar Galactica the origin series..

 

Every Star Trek movie made from the original series all the way to the new series..

 

I have a lot of Sci-Fi movies on DVD's and the 3 above I have the complete series on Blu-Ray or regular DVD disc..

[Delusional Phil]

I like The Book Thief ... 

[as96]

I watched Ender's Game today, it was good but as always, not as good as the book.

I was bored to death after the first 30 minutes, I didn't even finish that movie.

Green Street Hooligans by far one of the best movie's ive ever seen! Number 2 was pretty terrible and i don't understand why majority of sequels are shit

[Pugs501]

I can't say I did. I thought the PG-13 rating was detrimental especially due to the movie's holocaust theme plus it doesn't follow the book.

I don't have problem with "bad" movies per se (ultimately it depends who you ask about it), and some of my favorite movies are "guilty pleasure" ones that are considered bad. I do have a huge problem with poor acting... I can't stand it... It breaks my immersion into the plot of the movie...

Atleast with The Room, breaking the immersion is what makes it fun. The acting is so over the top, and the story is so ridiculous, that you are forced to watch it as a piece of work and not as a movie.

You will be laughing at just how incompetent the movie is made. 

This is the general rule of "So bad, they're good" movies. Their humour are extremely meta. 

 

I just rewatched Battle Royal last night. Still one of the best movies ever made. Just avoid the sequel. It's really bad.

I'm planning to rewatch Vampire Girl Vs. Frankenstein Girl later today. It's probably the best Japanese satire movie ever made (atleast to my knowledge).

You haven't seen Beverly Hills Cop? Damn son, that's a shame.

[Kopacetic]

I like mind blown movies like Coherence.

[Dude]

So at my local cineworld, the IMAX projectors died so we couldn't watch Age of Ultron before all the normal people. But we got free tickets as reimbursement... So yeah...

[carguy86]

has anyone seen kingsman? (69 good 96 me)

[Misanthrope]

So do I just comment on what was already said, or do I add something? And if I am suppose to add something, how do I do it?

 

I never liked Happy Gilmore. I never really liked Adam Sandler as a comedy actor. He was brilliant in Punch-Drunk-Love, which just makes me wonder why he didn't focus on a more drama oriented movie career.

 

If I am suppose to add something, I can say that I'm a big fan of Italien horror movies, especially Lucio Fulci films.

I recently watched Porno Holocaust, which might be the worst movie I have ever seen, and I have seen Trash Humpers

 

Cinema snob fan? Otherwise how else would you know about Porno Holocaust? 

[Ridska]

Favorate movie of all time for me is : Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy .

Loved it when i was a kind , still love it till this day.

i tought they make Sci-fi comedy movies anymore....

[techswede]

I really loved The Imitation game.

Tears were running down my face by the end.

 

And the soundtrack was just fantastic

Watched, loved it

[Delusional Phil]

I just wished a friend would take me to see Unfriended.

Thenhe/she will unfriend you on Facebook 

[GrimNeo]

I can't wait for Jurassic World. It needs to come out tonight

[Volbet]

I have watched some of Cinema Snob's videos, but that is not where I know Porno Holocaust from.

I just found the movie for sale at my local video store, and with a title like that, I just had to buy it. 

After I had bought  it and watched it, I found out that Cinema Snob made a video on it. And I have to say, that he is 100% correct in his criticism of it.

Do you think that's how the Snob finds all his movies to review? Besides the ones he gets requests for...

[Volbet]

He might do it that way. It don't really know, but it is an intersting way of finding obscure movies.

An easier way would probably to do some research online for old explotation films. Most of them have had an audience since the late 1970's, and the audience is probably keeping their passion alive online.

Before the internet, there was even magazines dedicated just for these types of movies. I remember my dad used to get some of them, and you could even order some movies via mail order.

 

Edit: If anyone is tntersted, I just rewatched Die Welle.

It's still a fantastic movie, and it is better than the American original.

I just watched Inside Out again and wanted somewhere to post about what's spinning in my head ATM. This thread seemed like the best spot. Anyways, I'm currently of the view that it's the best Pixar movie. Had that opinion immediately after watching it for the first time, still hold that view. I would almost go as far as calling it the perfect movie. Especially that one particular scene that everyone would who has watched it would know.

 

Also in the interests of this thread topic here are my "top 5 movies" as they currently sit in my head:

 

- Inside Out

- Alien

- Blade Runner

- Die Hard

- Fight Club

I thought Inside Out was "cool", especially on a visual level. But honestly, I think it didn't have the same charm as other movies like The Incredibles or Finding Nemo had. Also, I don't think the message that it gives to kids is necessarily a wise one either, seeing as it basically says that kids aren't in full control of their own emotions or thoughts due to the deterioration of memories and emotions. Sounds an awful lot like Bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

When I first watched it I thought it was about mental illness but I quickly came to a different conclusion about half way through the movie. There's nothing wrong with the main character, she's a perfectly normal 12 year old girl. I suspect that if you took away the "gimmick" of the movie you wouldn't be thinking the kid had some kind of mental illness. 

 

The movie isn't about that, the movie is about dealing with change and growing up. The same sort of themes that most Pixar movies deal with. The difference is that they've done it in a way that's incredibly personal and it's just executed so well.

[Nup]

Is it wrong to necro this? I mean it's better the starting another thread.. So there.

Any of y'all see the man from UNCLE? Or anything else. Let's talk movies.
