Good Movies?

rocketman · 03-11-07, 17:49

I just watched The Prestige, and it was a really entertaining flick. Along the lines of the illusionist with more twists and a better plot.

Watched Flags of Our Fathers the night before last, and thought it was a great movie. I recommend it for any war historian types, or war movie buffs. Tells the factual story about the island and battle of Iwo Jima, and the famous flag raising picture.

My all time favorite flick is One Flew Over the Cookoos Nest.

Have you seen any good flicks lately? What is your favorite movie or movies?

hyphaenation · 03-11-07, 18:02

Thanks for the heads-up, I just got the prestige... I just watched March of the Penguins and enjoyed it.

dizztro · 03-11-07, 20:56

Watch "300". It is based on Frank Millers comic.

Crazy..

Lazlo · 03-11-07, 21:56

Flags of our Father's was pretty damn good. That movie Invincible was a heck of a lot better than I pictured it to be also. Cars was kind of cool too. Really, there isn't a hell of a lot of kick ass new releases out there that I know of.

Oh yeah. The other night we watched Silent Hill. I had no intentions on watching it, but we got it on demand the other night and it was actually pretty kick ass! It was almost like an intense acid trip or something. lol. Not bad at all. Pretty damn good actually!

mycobri · 03-11-07, 22:17

Flags of our Father's was well done!

saw the Departed last night and that was good.

Dreamland and Night Skies were two alien related movies i just saw -that i would recommend.

Caljet666 · 03-12-07, 06:34

My fave flick is a low budget aussie flick called "He died with a falafel in his hand." It's a story of a strugling writer moving from share house to share house, focusing on the characters he meets. Great stuff.

rocketman · 03-12-07, 11:29

I saw The Departed last night as well, good movie for sure.

dial8 · 03-12-07, 11:40

Big thumbs up to both The Prestige and to The departred. I liked The Prestige better than The Illusionist also.

Tonight we are going to watch A Good Year with Russell Crowe.

There are actually several good movies out right now that I want to see.

dizzydank · 03-12-07, 12:06

these movies we watched in last few weeks id have to say are fucking excellent.

Crank
the departed
prestige
scanner darkly
ballad of ricky bobby or what ever the hell its called is funny as shit. the one with will farrell and racing

aumbrellaforainydays · 03-12-07, 14:24

talledega nights. will ferrel is a funny guy.

strangegem23 · 03-12-07, 16:28

Anybody see a movie called MirrorMask?

Got that one on Netflix the other day. Really amazing movie. Neil Gaiman, the guy that did the Sandman series, wrote the screenplay. Very trippy and beautiful visuals. Inspired by 'the Labrinth' aparently.

Sony has some clips here...

weed4all · 03-12-07, 17:09

science of sleep is pretty trippy. the main character keeps getting reality mixed up when he sleeps and daydreams.

CoyoteMesc · 03-12-07, 19:49

300 was a waist of my time,
I was SO disappointed

Frankie · 03-12-07, 20:39

Went to see Bridge to Tarabithia the other night because my buddies gf wanted to see it. I cried like a little bitch!! It was a truly wonderful movie. Not sure I will ever watch it again because it stired up some shit I would rather leave repressed but by and large a winner.

MalevolenT · 03-13-07, 11:53

Stranger Than Fiction with will ferrel was really good
Pans Labyrinth was a cool film
The Fountain was pretty sweet
I highly recommend V for Vendetta

SharkieJones · 03-13-07, 11:59

Little Miss Sunshine was awesome.

lyqwyd · 03-13-07, 18:10

waking life is a sweet movie, good for trips and awesome sober. highly intellectual tho. mr death ive heard is a good one, if you like kung fu movies, hero or fearless are two of the best, besides fist of the white lotus. remember pai mei from kill bill? pai mei is originally from fist of the white lotus... 70's style

rocketman · 03-13-07, 18:13

I am a big fan of the Evil Dead series. Horror and comedy mixed, great stuff.

entheogen23 · 03-13-07, 21:27

a few recent faves:

I Heart Huckabees
The Fountain
Scanner Darkly
Little Miss Sunshine

rocketman · 03-23-07, 01:14

Just saw the 300. It was a decent flick, although historically inaccurate in a few spots. Lots of violence, beheadings, and blood in general. It is definitely a guy movie. It was also a bit cartoonish at times. Xerxes was a big mofo, he stood like five feet taller than Leonidas at one point.

With all that said, I would still see it again for the entertainment value.

ExecutionStyle · 03-23-07, 01:38

My all time favorite movie is Gummo. A wonderfully disturbing independent film.

CoyoteMesc · 03-23-07, 08:51

w/o this factor it could have been much better
than decent. I agree with your every word.
I was disappointed due to the expectations of mine for the movie.

03-23-07, 11:03

little miss sunshine was amazing!! alan arkin was spot on as the heroin snorting porn addicted grandpa.

I_am_me · 03-23-07, 12:30

Pan's Labyrinth was quite amazing. That was the only movie I've seen at the theaters this year.

Beastmaster · 03-23-07, 22:56

ok, so i'm a fan of frank miller and his comic movies, though I returned 300 to the bookstore as soon as I bought it, but that might have been due to it seeming like the guy is making too many movies all of a sudden despite how cool his comix are. Sin city was neat, but as soon as something become s mainstream its looses its value, imho. just look at teenage mutant ninja turtles, like from the originals created that didn't have different colored bandanas and had nothing to do with pizza or hiphop. what about frank millers ronin and batman returns? when an artist is ignored there you will find his greatest works

however, I went to see 300 anyways, and departed.... ok so I did some acid before showing up, but still, those movies kicked serious ass... I still have to see them sober.... here's my sentiments from 300s viewing:
ep, its a good one.

deriven from a comic book based on a fictional representaion of an historical event, I still liked it, and want to see it again.

3 hits of white fluff, even if kinda old, still leaves me wondering if that was the movie or the acid.

fuck me, that was a good movie... i hate giving up in the middle of physical pain, its just an illusion after all.

I want to die for a cause as challenged and just as that.

is that movie just propaganda for the upcoming apoicalyptic us vs iran war?, i mean spartans representing democratic ideals fighting against slaves borne from the persian empire? fuck those motherfuckers, I want to reenlist already!

arg

fuck
don't you hate it whe nyou type a bunch of shit and then acidentally push some button that erases it all, and closes the window? fuck

I mean being kinda drunkish doesn't help

lets see if I can summon my previous precious sentiments

ok so, that movie, like others, inspired somehting

like wtf, we are such pussies, something bothers me and I get out the bong. or a sixpack.

or I turn on the tv so I can watch some fucknut make fun of the status quo, or try and solve some problem no mater how complex or unrealistic

FUC"KL!! and fuck the keyboard buuttones that are too close damnit!! I mean when wa s the last time you actually worked out ?? do you know hwhat muscle failure is?? I'm sure you know how muc h to charge some fucknut for some weeed or shrooms>!> what if you had to run? what if you had tofight?? those dudes reporesentd
those dudes stood up fro what they thought was right
those mother fuckers defende3d thire freedom to be free.

that's democracy right there
those badasses kicked serious ass that most definately deserved it

and we've been riding the wave since then, stoned, fat, and complacent

we're all a bunch of spoiled losers pretending to be democratic and righteous

yeah man, that flick was awesome... I've been planning on watching it again but haven't had the time yet. It's really got some awesome sub plots and things you wouldn't even notice. Very well done and a cool odd twist/ending sorta too.

streetwalkincheetah · 05-06-07, 19:47

I don't even know if it is still in theatres, but I wnty and watched Grindhouse at a drive in. That is the only way to see that movie. Some bud, a six pack, girlfriend and a beanbag in the back of the truck... It kicked ass. If any off you have a drive in close by go check it out while the gettin' is good.

aumbrellaforainydays · 05-07-07, 17:33

the good ol' famous last stands.
i felt something truthful about that rant though. haven't seen the movie, but studied a bit of greek history, and if the facts are true, those spartan's represented what well trained, well equipped, volunteer soldiers fighting for the protection of their native land can do. that kind of morale the, persians did not have. and these kinds of battles do remind me of how pussy i am.
the spartans weren't completely democratic, in fact they owned slaves, i just want to add that they were fighting for the freedom of the city-state of Sparta, not for the principle of freedom itself.
but comon, how heroic is 7,000 Greeks versus 200,000-300,000 Persians? ahh, the carnage of melee warfare.

Freaky · 05-07-07, 21:15

DarkSideoftheShroom- "Crank"-----that movie was superb! It went by so fast, I didn't even realize how long I'd been watching

Crazy flick!

Also, watched a movie called: "Thank you for Smoking"

good and funny, bout a tobacco lobbyist.

Little Miss Sunshine-I really really liked this movie!
Spider Man 3-had to take the kids, and I enjoyed it

I'll have more as I watch more

Gonna check out The Departed since ya'll like that one so much.

joey_megabucks · 05-07-07, 21:58

i heart huckabees
describes my philosophy on life

waking life
was good too

Hippie3 · 05-07-07, 22:56

thany you for smoking was funny.

kinda strange one saw recently=
happy endings

Theytellmethegootch · 05-07-07, 23:49

Hahah...

I love your rant Beastmaster.
