Need A Great Movie To Watch?

[ElectroNymph]

There was a Battle Royale 2, but it was over long and over convoluted. Versus is good for sci fi/horror craziness. So mental it's funny.

bump,classic film Battle Royale,did they make another one?don't know if i have seen that one yet though.

I saw jacobs ladder a long time ago and thought it was good,just can't remember much of it at the mo,i'm going to have to stop following so many threads but not this one,worn out sitting here replying,ass is numb.If i got whipped i'd not feel it.

Hahaha "ass is numb.If it got whipped I'd not feel it". Cheers for that one Begbie  /default_wink.png gave me a chuckle.

Yeah Jacobs ladder is excellent, & without giving any spoilers (nowt more annoying than spoilers!) if you're interested or fascinated by hallucinogens and there scary effects (like me) then you'll honestly love this film. I personally think the oldies are the goldies

I have no desire to see fifty shades. However, I did hear from an unbiased viewer that it was surprisingly good. I saw news footage of a bunch of women coming out of the theatre after watching it and there was one man that had gone to see it alone in the crowd. He saw the cameras and you could see the fear in his eyes being found out and tried to avoid them but there was nowhere to go. Johnnogg does have a point about all the free porn sites out there though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, there's so much hype about it but ah, I'm ok!!

You should have kept reading. I watched it and loved it.

Slum Dog Millionaire is another great movie worth watching when time permits. A poporri of suspense, twists, love, and betrayal. I give it 5 north stars.

Slum dog millionaire, that's a good one.

Big Fish with Ewan Mcgregor slightly out there but gives you the warm fuzzies

Brazil with Robert De Niro is a good one if you haven't seen it.

Wall E good but scary as it seems they nailed our current existence.

Papillon with Steve Mcqueen is great as well

Just some of my personal faves.

If you enjoy indie films, Heaven Can Wait is a good one.

Because of my extreme interest in the silver screen and the moving pictures projected thereupon and my lack of anything better to do with my life atm, i'm gonna suggest a bunch of films loosely arranged by genre so if people want to use these as recommendations, they can pick from whatever suits their mood:

Comedy:

Can't get away from Monty Python so in short order: Knights of the Round Table, Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life

Whitnail & I - particularly suited for those who have or have struggled with drug addictions

The Royal Tennenbaums - To this day Wes Andersons best film

Little Miss Sunshine- cute and macabre at the same time

Dr. Strangelove or how i learned to love the bomb - nothing more to add 

Delicatessen -the wierdest, funniest film youæll ever see.

Horror/suspense

Alien - All that needs to be said about this classic has already been said

The Others - A film where every single seems very scary at times and the oppressive atmosphere really gets to you

Dark Water- There was all this Hype about Ringu when the japanese horror films invaded the world, but Dark Water is Superior imo.

The Thing - despite the 80's special effects this film holds up quite well

Drama

The Godfather - another film that needs me to say nothing

Hannah and her sisters - My favourite Woody Allen movie.

Lost i translation - could've been in the comedy section.

Hanabi - Takeshi Kitano at his best

Films with Heavy subject matter, but who can be profoundly moving and rewarding (long headline there)

Come and see (Idi i smotri) - russian war movie that's by far the most realistic war movie i have ever seen. not for weak stomachs, nor for weak hearts as this tears you up emotionally. Filmed almost as a documentary of a teenage boys experiences in the russian army in WW2, and devoid of any sentimentality or heroes.

Wild Strawberries - One of Ingmar Bergmans best films and i can honestly say it changed my life. You rarely find deeper characterization or genuine emotion expressed this way, well almost anywere.

2001 - A Space Odyssey - Stunning to watch- creepy and profoundly mysterious

Grave of the Fireflies- When many people think of animated films they don't think about heavy subject matter - but when they see this films about two young siblings desperately trying to survive in the aftermath of the nuclear strike of hiroshima they may change their tune

Those where just the ones i could think of off the top of my mind. i have a thousand others, but i'll stop for now

Agree with pretty much all of those films. And for those looking for more japanese stuff, i'd like to add Hana-bi, Sonatine, Zaitochi (rare example of japansese samurai-musical), all by Takeshi Kitano. Also really great anime films: My Neighbor Totoro (Tonari no Totoro), Nausicaa of the valley of the wind, and Ghost in the Shell. And while not japanese i gotta add Stephen Chow's films ( from Hong Kong) Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle. While we're at it gotta mention Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (by Ang Lee, the guy who made The Ice Storm, Brokeback Mountain and Life of Pi), but there are several other movies in the same genre, Hero and House of Flying Daggers which are also great.

Gonna get into more classical japanese cinema and south-korean films some point later.

Aren't they more horror than action? Not that I am critising, horror is my favourite genre.

 

[PTFC]

Spot the camera crew in the mirror in the store in the early part of Menace II society. Not a bad film in its day.

Its kinda a mixture of Drama Suspense, Horror, and Comedy. I just typed the first couple that stood out to me. Horror has always been a fav of mine as well.

I forgot to mention Super Troopers. I cannot wait for part 2 to come out!
