Anything Stanley Kubrick (if you really want to have fun, watch them in sequential order and you see his style get more and more unique) I'd have to say I love them all. Even A.I isn't bad (he was working on that when he got sick and passed it off to Spielberg after flying him out to his house).

Some of my favorite "war" movies:

Sicario (only the first one, the second one sucked)

Dunkirk

Saving Private Ryan

Platoon

Dunkirk was really good.

GJ fellas.

[Gilder]

I'm a pretty big Arnold fan...

I think I've seen all of his movies and there's something about Conan that just never gets old. I think it's the fact that he barely speaks and so much of the movie is just told in a visual way. Man, I want to re-watch it now tonight.

Shit, I forgot about There Will be Blood.

Awesome movie. Also agree on blade runner, there will be blood and big trouble in little china. Idiocracy come to mind and Honey I Shrunk the Kids and a bunch of gialli movies like House of the Laughing Windows. Good anime like Akira and MD Geist. TodBrownings Freaks etc

[d3r14k]

Happy to see Children of Men on so many people's lists. Truly an amazing movie. That approximately five minute, single shot, uncut scene through the streets and into the apartment building at the climax of the movie is one of the best moments in cinema.

I have always loved Event Horizon.. Always a top 5 scifi movie for me..

Ship has state of the art, black hole creating, time folding, speed travel..
Gets lost on maiden voyage after opening up a hole in space.
Disappears for years.
Reemerges around Neptune..
Expedition ship sent to investigate
Crew finds out ship... went places...

A must watch for sure.

I think that’s exactly the appeal for me. I have a particularly strong aversion to the S&M theme, which is exactly the whole vibe is so... horrifying. It’s just great psychological horror.

I haven’t seen the sequels though. Sequels make me think cash grab and I usually avoid. You should watch and report back!

take bloodsport over any Quentin film, not a fan. Not a strong female lead kind of guy but did like Rogue One, they all died at end.

Never seen Stronglove, Bound or SNow on the Bluff.

Matrix was good when it released, it had no sequels.

Ran, boring. I did like some of Red Beard. (http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/video/302939/Red-Beard-Movie-Clip-I-May-Break-Some-Bones.html)

Casino.. not a fan of mafiso films.

The Thing, classic.

Bored shitless need a movie to watch with wife tonight we’re both cultured will be drinking wine god bless hope this helps thanks

recently watched Sir David Attenborough's "Life That Glows." Was pretty fucking good.

[Patriam1066]

Thank you for the suggestion

my good chum

I’ll watch it this weekend or next week. Tonight my wife wants some sappy shit I think. Idk what she’ll choose. I have broken my abstinence from alcohol and procured whiskey to make whatever rom com she chooses tolerable

[Muggens]

If your only source for movies come from watching netflix it's gonna be slim pickins

[Ennewi]

The One I Love could pass for sappy shit, at least in the first 30 minutes, after that it starts becoming a mindfuck. Ted Danson plays a couples therapist. Pretty sure it's on Netflix.

[Muggens]

Posting in a positive OT thread.

Watched Final Cut with Robin Williams last nite, good movie, similar to an episode of Black Mirror

[Cecily]

+ The 9th gate, Angel Heart, What Dreams May Come.

[Throndor]

If your only source for movies come from watching netflix it's gonna be slim pickins

Yeah, netflix is congested with homoerotic man operas.

Reading Crime and Punishment right now.

Got a copy of Meditations, Republic, and 1984 on the way due by Friday, from Amazon, and i just got The Closing of the American Mind from Amazon on Thursday.

I've decided Im going to piece together the Great Books of Western Culture over the next few years, and avoid inundating myself with the next few rounds of drivel coming out of Hollywood.

I will be watching the final season of GoT though, but im sure they'll fuck it up real nicely with a postmodern bent now that we're entering into election season again. Whee!

1. Indiana Jones (I and III, although II is solid)

Jaws made me terrified of the ocean. Hell, I am still terrified of the ocean.

The 13th Warrior has a special place in my heart.

Was a wonderful surprise to have Buliwyf in Skyrim.

Could someone do me a huge favor. The person I quoted, Toehammer, is an old friend of mine from years ago that I just so happened to stumbled on. I don't know how the DM system works on this forum but I would love to hear from him. Tell him its Ratboy.

Thank you!

Looking for suggestions on new movies in theatres.
Unfortunate for me the selection here sucks.

Nah Fargo was solid for its time

[FatherSioux]

ex machina was so bad. that list is triggering

It triggers great memories of watching great movies, with great actors, with great plots.

I don't watch a lot of movies, I tend to fall asleep and don't find the time invested to be worth it. You can tell I haven't watched movies in a while, I used to watch more when I was single, poor, depressed and drunk. Now I have better things to do than watch a movie.

[kaluppo]

Ya. I thought it was Ok.

Do the Klan members here feel it's an appropriate reflection on the disaffected youth of the 80s and 90s?

Or liberal propoganda?

[Irulan]

Tank https://g.co/kgs/hHdfr5

Tank, 1984

Zack Carey (James Garner) is a decorated military officer who takes a new post in small-town Georgia, moving with his wife (Shirley Jones) and their son, Billy (C. Thomas Howell). When Zack clashes with the local deputy, he incurs the wrath of corrupt sheriff Cyrus Buelton (G.D. Spradlin), who proceeds to frame young Billy on drug charges. When all other attempts to handle the situation fail, Zack opts to free Billy from jail with his own vintage tank, setting off an escalating conflict.

More liberal propoganda?

I feel like I was brought up to be a Jewish slave.

[Irulan]

Ps tanks should be legal for civilian ownership.

Because they are basically guns.

This ain't sarcasm.

I am real serious.

This ain't sarcasm.

I am real serious.

In the USA at least it is legal for civilians to own a tank. If it has a functional cannon you will have to pax taxes and deal with the legalities of owning a "destructive device". The same is true if the machine guns on it are functional and not replicas, but there are dealerships that will sell you a tank above board and legal.

(There are many state regulations for driving with a firearm not locked in an inaccessible place in the car, so you need to consult your local state laws if you want to drive the thing around on public roads.)

My 13 year old has already shown me the documentation explaining that this is true, and explained his plan to trade in my caddy for a vintage T-34.

[Tormac]

An American Cadillac for a Soviet T-34. Has your son sought Christ? He should

Lol, well he is a fan of WW2 shooters, and has enough of a sense of history to appreciate the T-34.

Either way he is going to have to buy his own ride when he gets his learner's permit, or accept my old Subaru as his first car.

Question!!!

Just finished the book- Ready Player 1.. The movie appears to be nothing like the book, which is pretty common.. Is the movie worth watching? Can anybody suggest?

[Irulan]

Never watched. Probably won't. Probably won't read either.

[America]

Never watched. Probably won't. Probably won't read either.

[Bardp1999]

Watch the movie Ready Player 1 by accident really (was on HBO) - was garbage made for tweenie booper millennials. If you are 30+ the chances of you liking it are 0. Its a stupid video games meet IRL and everything is life and death, its fucking stupid.

[America]

Ya it was a real letdown like the last 5 lil wayne albums i bought on release big disap[pintement from the jewihs mehdi`a

[Muggens]

Thanks for making it clearer. Really rings truth.

[Danth]

Don't have any specific favorite movies, but here are some which tend to get turned on, should I happen to see 'em while flipping through channels or paging through a listing. Examples include:

Rio Bravo
Gettysburg
Patton
The Quiet Man
Tombstone
Jason and the Argonauts
North by Northwest
Back to the Future

...among numerous others.

Haha i thought it was a fun book!! They even drop a little Everquest name drop :) that made me happy enough to keep reading! However, when i looked into the movie, it appears they change the roles of the characters, and all kinds of other stuff.. I'd rather keep the story of the book in my head then the storyline of what appears to be a yucky teenbop make..

I’ve never understood people that catalog and recognize actors from shows and movies. I had a room mate who was really good at that and it always struck me as a waste of neurons. Knowing directors, too, was something I never saw much value in.

that's how I am too. I'm the same with bands and musicians. I just enjoy the presentation ^^

Your roommate sounds like Toby Maguire in Wonder Boys...

In defense of that roommate, and myself to an extent, the examination of any complex thing over time takes the place of that original sense of wonder (resulting from complexity) which might otherwise be lost. In this case, that complex thing happens to be mankind particularly in regards to fame and creative decision-making.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99jnnJQJF0Q

In this way there's a larger conversation going on out there that directors and actors are having with each other and another separate one with the audience to meet its demands/exceed its expectations. The same could be said for other skills as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ80SWdUd-8

So while the average person today won't be mastering a craft within their lifetime, they can still live vicariously through those that do and come away with a greater appreciation for what went into the end product...which changes the way they handle it, value it beyond the sticker price, and see it in relation to everything else. Snobs try to make an art out of integrating these listed things, mistaking the rigidity of their selections for personal achievements. It's the antithesis of thoughtless consumerism and yet it serves the same hollow function behind product placement. He was wearing his cornflower blue tie. Forget the fact that it's easier to criticize than it is to create, even when those critiques are done in an orderly manner (bug forums section). People say the Notre Dame Cathedral is "just a building" and then have a bitch of a time putting together their new IKEA desk.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRRK4loO6xQ

It shouldn't be all that hard to understand. After all, this entire project is devoted to recognizing and cataloging what you described except, instead of directors and actors, there are developers and players at work. Similarly, most outsiders wouldn't be able to understand why anyone would ever participate in this, the painstaking reconstruction of an old and increasingly obscure virtual world...and they would also dismiss all knowledge of it as a waste of neurons.

TL;DR—Life imitates art imitating life breaking down the fourth wall.

[Cecily]

That’s an excellent post, Ennewi! To iterate my point less rudely, it’s not a personal interest of mine. I’m fairly anti-celebrity, which I assume is where the disconnect occurs and that is fine. People have different opinions. The phenomenon of people being wrong who don’t like the things I like and vice versa isn’t a new thing to me. I just acknowledge the fact those person are my mortal enemies from that point forward, and then plot ways to destroy them. In this world of clashing opinions, it’s important to know how to deal with people.

[Cars]

1. Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
2. Ninja Turtles (the original)
3. Stand by Me

And lastly, it's not a movie, but a show called True Detective starring Woody h. And Matthew m.
It's probably one of the best shows I've seen in my life. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, I watched the whole thing in about 1 sitting

Definitely a good movie. Not sure if it would make the Top 10 though.

my name actually came from this:

https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-DOS-Windonws-3xx-Windows-95/dp/B000NE91BC

in 1999 I was an 12 year old boy, with little imagination. I grabbed the first inspiration I could and added my first name to the end of it. Topgunben was born alive and well on EQ. Unfortunately i didnt have a damn clue what was going on and spent the next 6 months trying to solo a barbarian warrior to level 30 in Everfrost.

People have different opinions. The phenomenon of people being wrong who don’t like the things I like and vice versa isn’t a new thing to me.

Being anti-celebrity is probably the most sane option in an age when everyone's encouraged to have their fifteen minutes and then some through social media. Like actual celebrities, a lot of them turn out to be fake, self-involved assholes—people who have worked in sound and lighting say as much about the former at least. But then there still tends to be a certain amount of curiosity and/or envy when it comes to opposing life choices.

I just acknowledge the fact those person are my mortal enemies from that point forward, and then plot ways to destroy them. In this world of clashing opinions, it’s important to know how to deal with people.

So what you're saying is, you killed your roommate (likely with poison because rogue main) then disposed of the remains which, now having had time to decompose, are little more than garbage bag stew in an old abandoned storage unit... For future reference, I prefer galvanized steel bins, but at the end of the day Rubbermaid will do. It's better than being ashes in a Folgers can at least.

*Adding another film to the previous list: The Libertine.

I enjoy Game of Thrones as well.

Sideways did it best, though it wasn't a close-up shot.

1. 1986 Transformers: The Movie

[Evia]

So I'm not an action movie fan...like at all.

but I just recently saw the movie 'Harsh Times' with Christian Bale, and my god that final scene in the car left me in a funky head space for a few days...
the whole movie had top notch acting and kept me interested from start to finish.

I think i'd put that movie in my top 10 now...not sure what spot.
