well these are all awesome movies that I would have listed myself. except I didn't know "The Sting", so I'm getting that one now (from 1973, right?)

i should also really watch High Fidelity again some time.

some more additions:

The Big Lebowski, Totall Recall, Twelve Monkeys, Triple X, Blade, Pitch Black, Love Actually, Lord of War, Waking Life, Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, The Dark Knight, Rent a Friend, Phileine zegt sorry, Alles is Liefde, Kopps, They Live, uhhhhhhhh I'm out of ideas.

Okay, serious additions:

I don't really watch a lot of movies myself.  I'm more into crime dramas (Criminal Minds and The Mentalist being my current faves)
Anyhoo, I'm probably as much of a LOTR geek as Suu is a Star Wars.  Love those movies.

Others:  Fargo, Death to Smoochy, Gladiator, The Shawshank Redemption, Natural Born Killers, and Titanic.

Just had two more come to mind. Feirehheit 451 and 1984 of course. Both classics. The time machine was alright too i guess. There is another one by Orsen Wells I can't think of at the moment, but oh well. It's the one where life above ground seems to be paradise while below ground it is revealed that slaves actualy keep everything running above ground. If anyone can think of the name of this movie please let me know. Thanx.

Edit: one more to add. The Jerk, deffinately a fav.

Is The Wrestler based on some wrestler's memoirs or something?  Because he does seem to look a lot like some former wrestler but I can't quite put my finger on it. 
Title: Re: Recommend your favorite movies
Post by: P3nT4gR4m on January 16, 2009, 01:55:45 PM
Essentially he's a washed up former wrestler who's still doing small gigs and dreaming of getting back on the big stage. Almost all of it is shot on steadicam so it has a kind of documentary feel to it. I really can't big up his performance enough, this is serious award winning material.

Yeah...The Usual Suspects is closer, though it doesn't fit the category exactly.

Incidentally, The Sting 2 is bad.  Very, very bad.  All they did was poorly rehash the original movie with characters who had the same last names (but different first names) and not bring back any actors from the first film.

really good movie. had one of the best/most fucked-up fight scenes I've ever seen on film.

Yes, the book is several hundred times better then the movie. It's not all cheesy for one. For another the equipment that is described makes more sense then the way it is portrayed in the hollyweird version. For instance, instead of a ship dropping the kids off at the site they get launched out of the bottom of the ship that's in space. They are surrounded by a cocoon that absorbs the heat of reentry. Once they get to a safe altitude (ie no burn) the cocoon blows open and the guy free falls for a while. The shrapnel from the cocoon helps to hide the individuals signature so he won't be shot out of the sky. And get this, instead of a parashute they have rockets.  :mrgreen: I won't give no more of the book away now. I suggest it even though we're in the movie area.
Title: Re: Recommend your favorite movies
Post by: Iason Ouabache on January 18, 2009, 05:06:05 AM
Besides the cool stuff indigoblade just mentioned, they completely gutted the interesting political stuff from the book.  Yes, it was a libertarian's wet dream but it was well written.  Hollywood basically fucked Heinlein's corpse.  Starship Troopers is the reason why I'm glad that no one has tried to do a movie/miniseries based on Asimov's Foundation. I don't even want to think about how they'd fuck that up.
Title: Re: Recommend your favorite movies
Post by: Cain on January 18, 2009, 09:17:54 AM
I thought the film was hilariously and self-consciously bad.

I mean, come on, they explicitly evoked a proto-Nazi militaristic state throughout the film, yet people protested most at the use of the Eagle symbol, which actually came from the Navajo.

Everything involved in Starship Troopers, from the fact it wasn't even orginally meant to be a film of the book, is tinged with horrormirth.

Title: Re: Recommend your favorite movies
Post by: P3nT4gR4m on January 18, 2009, 02:36:53 PM
I never read the book but I loved the film. Especially the way Verhoeven had expanded the "media-clips" theme he'd introduced in robocop and turned the whole thing into cheesy recruitment propaganda flick. I'm pretty sure this was intentional because it came off too well to be unintended. On the surface the film is corny but between the lines it's examining the way propaganda is used. And, for the time, the fx were were top-notch. If the eye candy is good enough I can appreciate even a plotless piece of shit on the strength of that alone.

i am looking for a weird movie i saw it years ago and don't remember the  name i have tried to search for it by description with no luck,
with all the obscure and awesome movies in this list maybe someone will recognize it.

the movie takes place in a insane asylum it is in subtitles "Spanish" if i remember correctly, possibly from south America (not sure )
the beginning of the movie starts when the doctors do a head count and discover they have 1 to many  patients, they find the extra guy and ask him who he is and he says Jesus, they as him why if he is Jesus would he show up in a nut house and he said because if i claimed i was Jesus out there this is the first place they would send me. the rest of the movie is about his interactions with the patients and doctors and whether he is or is not Jesus.

Val, that "blonde dude" is Christian Slater, aka The Dude Who Thinks Acting Is Doing Horrible Camp Impersonations of Jack Nicholson (TDWTAIDHCIJN).
Christian Slater... Christian Slater... I know that name... I do not remember any movies he is in, though. This is probably sad.

Also, you don't have to have acting skills to be hot. If he sucks at acting, at least he looks pretty. I don't have to watch his stuff to stare.  :wink:

Hmmmm this is rather revealing if one actually pays attention  :lulz:  I am repeating I am sure, but once you get to page 9 it's a pain in the ass to go back and check things.

I think the Star Wars and LOTR are a given for many of us.....


Chronicles of Riddick
The Dark Knight
The Replacements
3000 Miles to Graceland (only because the idea to rob a casino that is having an Elvis look alike competition while dressed as Elvis is pure WIN)
Max Payne
The Godfather (all)
Princess Bride

I thought that movie sucked, but I did find it funny that they had Glasgow turn into a city of Mad Max-style cannibals after a few years.

...what, that's not enough?

But to be fair, I'm a fan of the postapoc stuff to start sith, so it's not really an objective opinion.

I liked it.  The book has way more events in it, but that's understandable considering the movie would probably be twice as long if they included everything.  Also probably more depressing in the end.  It's nice that the movie crops it off right after the Santa Anita Handicap(take3) with Pollard because it leaves it off with the sort of feel good ending.

Can I make a little request? Cause I tend to use these favourite movie threads to decide what movies I'm gonna see, rent or download, can we put a little description next to the title what the movie is about and why you liked it and such?

Because all I see is lists and lists of titles, and I can look them all up on IMDB, but there are a LOT of titles, and I might not look up an excellent movie cause it has a boring title. Besides, I prefer to hear you guy's summary and opinion instead of IMDB's.

i severly need to accidentally go on holiday.

The best drinking game ever is to take a drink whenever Witnail and I do.  Liver failure awaits anyone who actually succeeds, though.

Also, you know that scene at the very start, when Withnail drinks the ligher fluid and spits it out?  Turns out that reaction was 100% real.  Richard E Grant is actually teetotal, and they gave him vodka, without telling him.

Kung Fu Hustle
Tombstone
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
Big Fish
Blazing Saddles
Detroit Rock City
Crippled Masters Best handisploitation movie EVER. Also only one I've ever seen. It probably wasn't meant to be funny but I found myself snickering through most of it and almost pissed myself when they use a chain-saw sound effect when the guy with no legs twirls himself into a group of dudes using his arms.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this here before but one of the best films I have seen in a long time is Suddenly, last summer.
I won't go into the plot, its better not to watch these kind of films with any spoilers in mind but its definitely worth a look.
Katherine Hepburn and Liz Taylor are superb in this.

High five for actually sitting through the entire thing?  :horrormirth: Hour and a half to two hours I'll never get back and will always be stuck with the memory of it.

(for the 3rd time) CAN WE MAYBE WRITE SHORT DESCRIPTIONS OF ESPECIALLY THE LESSER KNOWN TITLES BECAUSE IT WOULD SAVE ME SO MUCH TIME IF I DIDNT HAVE TO LOOK UP 8 OUT OF 10 NAMES IN THIS THREAD ON IMDB TO SEE IF A PARTICULAR RECOMMENDATION IS PERHAPS GOOD FOR ME

THANK YOU

I won't be doing this, I don't like having spoilers for films before I see them in any form. The best way to enjoy a film is going in knowing nothing about it.

Recorded that the other night.  Haven't seen it yet, but going by the advert, the scene where the shark takes down a plane may be my favourite one.

I haven't seen it yet either. But based on the trailers and Wikipedia article I've encountered, it promises to be comic gold.
