I guess it is a toss up between Senna, Moon, and Good Night, and Good Luck for me.
I've never seen Dredd or the Star Trek movie, but those others are fantastic! Alien and Aliens kind of mirror the Terminator movies: a kind of scifi horror-thriller, followed by an action movie, followed by a series of bad ones.
Terminator 2 - I watch this at least once a year, and I just think it's a perfect early 90s action movie. And it has Arnie! Letter Never Sent - Gorgeously shot movie about geologists searching for diamonds in Siberia. It's kind of like The Revenant, sorta, but filmed over fifty years ago. Kung Fu Hustle - I love Stephen Chow movies, and I think this is probably his best. I also think God of Cookery and Shaolin Soccer are fantastic. It's a shame his more recent offerings haven't been quite as good. That Hong Kong slapstick just gets me. Kind Hearts and Coronets - because you get to see Alec Guinness play eight different people. Speaking of Alec Guinness, The Bridge on the River Kwai. Anyway that's all I can think of right now. Edit: I just finished watching Gangs of Wasseypur, which is easily the longest movie I've ever watched - nearly five and a half hours long (and I thought Gone With the Wind was a drag). It's an Indian gangster movie set over three generations, so there's a lot going on. Plenty of murder and double-crossing and vengeance, but it's Bollywood too so there's some music thrown in. I wouldn't say it's a favourite, but it's worth checking out (it's split into two parts, thank Christ; Indian cinemas apparently wouldn't run the full movie, for obvious reasons.)
In no particular order, and in arbitrary number: > Oldboy - the original Korean one. Amazingly done, beautifully acted, with a hell of a twist. > Apocalypse Now - no other movie really shows the mass insanity of war. (The Wrath of Aguirre is thematically similar, and also amazing. Klaus Kinski was batshit insane.) > Se7en - pretty much the perfect serial killer mystery. > The Crow - not necessarily one of the "best" movies I've ever seen, but it still just grabs me: the soundtrack is incredible, and the whole thing centers around a love story. Great cast, surprisingly funny in parts, and the whole thing is of course haunted by the death of Brandon Lee. My wife and I have a tradition of watching it every year on October 30. > Dr. Strangelove - the single most genius bit of satire I've ever seen. I would also put Robocop under the umbrella of satire, and it too is fantastic. > Heat - the perfect heist. (The Town is also really good, and definitely was inspired by Heat). > The Cell - the story is whatever, but worth it for the visuals alone. > Pi - a genius mathematician is haunted by what he's trying to do. Darren Aronofsky's first movie. > The Blues Brothers - my favorite musical of all time. Amazing music, plus car chases and it doesn't forget to be funny. > Super Troopers - smart enough not to annoy me, but still fun and silly.
I like it a lot! Heat remains the classic, but The Town is very good and well-done as well.
It's an interesting setup, and allows for a good story. Maybe I'm not clear on what you're asking?
Not that I can recall, but I ended up liking the movie a lot.
The Fall - The movie is sublime. I love how the little girl's imagination is so vividly expressed through the locations chosen. It is one of the most visually pleasing movies I've ever watched. Midnight In Paris - I think I've mentioned this one before. And I think I was scolded for knowing so little of Woodey Allen's work. I regret to inform everyone I'm still working on that. I love the characters. They're all so... Bizarre. The Grand Budapest Hotel - I love Wes Anderson. This is my favourite of his work. Everything is framed spectacularly, everything is very symmetrical, and I enjoy the way the aspect ratios change throughout the different periods portrayed.
It's a shop on Etsy called For the Love of Patch. I would strongly recommend it - bought two patches there for myself and my girlfriend and had an extra one added at no extra charge.
I have interesting taste but: The House of Yes - Parker Posey, a young Tori Spelling, basically a great small cast doing a movie of a play (well-done movies of plays are a favorite) From Dusk Til Dawn c'mon right this movie is awesome House on Haunted Hill - 1999 remake The Big Lebowski - Always a classic of course
I have a friend who is crazy mad about vampires. I bought her a copy of From Dusk Til Dawn for her birthday however many years ago. Neither of us knew anything more about it than vampires and George Clooney. We were not prepared for the ridiculously awesome and funny movie that ensued.
Not in this order: Kill Bill Princess Mononoke Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal Departures - Soon after buying an expensive cello, Daigo Kobayashi (Masahiro Motoki) learns that his orchestra is disbanding. Daigo and his wife move back to his hometown in northern Japan, where he answers an ad for what he thinks is a travel agency but is, in actuality, a mortuary. As he learns and carries out the rituals used in preparing the dead for their final rest, Daigo finds his true calling in life. Milk - In 1972, Harvey Milk (Sean Penn) and his then-lover Scott Smith leave New York for San Francisco, with Milk determined to accomplish something meaningful in his life. Settling in the Castro District, he opens a camera shop and helps transform the area into a mecca for gays and lesbians. In 1977 he becomes the nation's first openly gay man elected to a notable public office when he wins a seat on the Board of Supervisors. The following year, Dan White (Josh Brolin) kills Milk in cold blood.
I like your first two. Am I obliged to watch the third? I feel like it's a sign.
My favorite movies are Lord of the ring, Aquaman, Dracula. Trailer for Lord of the Ring
I can tell what movies I really love because I will not just rewatch them, I will buy them for posterity. Bladerunner is on the list for sure, No Country for Old Men, and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (the 2011 one with Gary Oldman) Oh, a recent fave was The Siege of Jadotville. 10 Cloverfield Lane was good too, but idunno if it's a favourite yet.
An incomplete list: Ashby, The Martian, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Taken, Mr. Morgan's Last Love, Harry Brown, Coach Carter, That's What I Am, Appaloosa, Memento. I also enjoyed the latest three Fast & Furious films quite a bit due to their over-the-top action nature. I could use a break by that point, and they were a welcome breath of testesterone-filled fresh air that I didn't need to analyze.
