So a previous post by Zeus got me to thinking that it would be good to get movie suggestions. So here is my post.

There are no rules can be old, new or one that you are waiting to come out. Low budget, high dollar, foreign, engrish (without subtitles)... it doesnt matter. I figure with such a diverse group of people there will be alot of diffent suggestions if not for everyone for me to check out.


I will start out.

A buddy of mine from Austrailia got me to check out "Chopper" staring Eric Bana.

I really want to see "Love The Beast" with Eric Bana as well.

Yesterday I watched an interesting/weird/low budget film called "Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America". I still don't know quite what to think.

The last movie I watched was "Into The Wild"...very good movie but the end is a bit depressing.

One of my all time favorite movies is "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" starring Sean Penn in what I think is his best role!

And also pretty much anything Terentino (sp?)!

I liked Into The Wild, but I seem to have a different opinion than most about it. Why was it depressing? If you wandered off into the Alaskan wilderness without ANY preparation, and subsequently die, I do not really feel so bad. In my opinion, it was just stupidity, or possibly mental illness, but certainly not sad. And then there is also the possibility that he intended to end his life that way. It's like The Grizzly Man. Sure, it can be seen as depressing, but in my opinion, it was a long time coming, sad or not. Know what I mean?

I loved Inglorious Bastards. Just a brilliant film. See, a lot of people can't handle all the dialog, its too much for their little Michael Bay loving brains to handle. :laughing: I also really like to see films with all the different languages and characters. But then, there are some people who have trouble with subtitles to, makes their brains hurt or something. :laughing: Still, Reservoir Dogs is his best.

I will say this though, Brad Pitt is HIGHLY overrated. Every time I watch him, I don't believe him. I think to myself, that's just Brad Pitt acting. He's no Gary Oldman...

Have not seen Bastards yet...I generally wait for the DVD so I can watch from the comfort of home. Theater seating kicks my *** literally...I can not get comfy.


As far as "into the wild"...have you read the book also Bart. It goes into a bit more detail about his preparing by going to the library and doing some pretty extensive studying of what was eatible and not in the area. He did not go in "blind". He was actually heading back out of the wild except for a little problem with the river flooding. I guess to me the depressing part is that is just a hell of a painful way to die. I'd rather die a little quicker! And then to be found just a few days too late...kinda sucks.

Yeah, I mean, I sorta get all that. But, its just wheeling in Moab. If you put yourself into a dangerous situation and something bad happens to you or your vehicle, I'm sorry, but I just can't feel bad for you. I'm not a humanitarian though either. Bad things happen to good people every day. The people who died on this day in 2001, now that's depressing. Someone who went camping and ate the wrong kinda berries and died because of it, well, its a sad accident, but I hardly feel sympathy. That's all I am saying. If you mess with Grizzly bears and one day get eaten, yeah, that sucks, but you asked for it.

And no, I haven't read the book. I bet it is better. Personally, I COMPLETELY identify with what he was doing/trying to get away from. I sometimes feel like doing the exact same thing. And if there is anything depressing about that story, it is the fact that our modern society could drive a person to that outcome. If I could find a way to go camping for 50% of the year, I would do it in a hot minute. This mundane day-to-day life most of us are a part of is not the way mankind should be living. It sucks, plainly.

The Duellists

Ridley Scott's first feature and my favorite film.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Duellists


The Remains of the Day

A quiet period piece about a devoted British butler.


Vanilla Sky

I'm prolly the only person on the planet that admits to enjoying this film.


Legends of the Fall

A little story about this film. I was talking to three women who have known me for 10, 25 and 35 years, when one of them brought up this title. She said I'm like Brad Pitt's character in the movie, another said, no...he's just like Anthony Hopkin's character in that film.

Then the third shook her head and said, you're both wrong, I've known him longer than either of you and he is James Bond. She always says that...and I just laugh and tell her what I've always told her....

The check is in the mail. :D

I just watched Burn After Reading this past Wednesday. I agree it is not even close to the best Cohen Bros film, but I was entertained by it. My brother HATED it and made it sound like the worst film ever. So my expectations were really low. Brad Pitt was still acting in that movie as far as I am concerned. :)


The Duellists

The Duellists is great, but I still think Blade Runner is his masterpiece. And Vanilla Sky is awesome. Aside from Legend, it is really the ONLY Tom Cruise film I like.

The Man From Earth is a standout among the movies I've watched in the last year or so.

No big action scenes or epic cgi, just a great story with an excellent message (IMO).

Heavy Metal in Baghdad: http://www.blockbuster.com/acctmgmt/rentalHistory
(Some may not like it but I enjoyed it what these guys have gone through and its has to do with recent events. Kinda puts a different perspective other than what we thougth and felt as they where happening.)

Murderball:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436613/(Sorry I had a indie fettish for a bit lol.. This movie I saw a preview on another high budget movie so I checked it out.. Took almost over a yr being at top of my que to get it.)

I'm a bit of a SciFi fan and I was able to get "The man from Earth" from the US about a year ago (it's only been in the UK about six months) after seeing a very high rating from IMDB. I must say it is a good film and I love good thought provoking SciFi but I was slightly disappointed. Perhaps I was expecting too much or perhaps the acting just wasn't up to scratch. However the idea was sound but really didn't deliver on an emotional level. The movie I'd like to see but again isn't available in the UK is "Last Night". Is it recommended?

09/12/2009, 02:56 PM
Billy I enjoyed into the wild, however I sorta knew what was comming because someone ruined it and told me ending but enjoyed none the less. NO I heven't read the book but I didnt think it was all that sad. Like Bart said He basically didnt want to be a robot and do what everyone expected him to do and hated how society and life was. He was going to find himself. I also agree with Bart in its all in teh risk you want to take. You play with a Grizzly dont come to me if he gets hungry. I can apreciate there passion and no matter how it ends good or bad you have to apreciate there drive.

Story similar in real life: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/mma/09/09/tanner.obit/

LOL Brad Pitt to me made that movie, shame on you bart. He was funny with his "trying to have and accent" (cant say that for his other movies agreed but in this one he was funny) . The Mike Myers part was eh. I did like how Eli Roth was tied in there as him and Tarantino are buddies had he showed Eli how to get around the ratinsg board. Showed him the ropes.

Man bart yu didnt like the The last samurai: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325710/ .. That was probably one of my favorite movies of his.

Also I agree on Tropic Thunder wasnt that great and maybe it was my mood but I only got a chuckle here or there. They say Tom Cruise made the movie but I think jack black did specially the part where he is tied to the tree wanting a fix (sorry I am partial still :p )



I .., Zoolander was my fav back in the day.

back in the day? Now I gotta find that movie and watch it now lol.. I lvoe that movie. I mean what movie you ever going to watch where they have gasoline wars. That in it self is funny :D . I would say one of Ben stillers best movies imo


And to VX cat.... What no Jason Statham or Gerard Butler. My old roomate is crazy about them two.

The Professional (Leon) - is one of my faves of all-time. Saw that one in the theater and loved it... and then I got the director's version when it came out on DVD... AWESOME!

Kicked in the Head - funny funny funny... guy says to his buddy who doesn't want to get drunk, "Man, you've got a drinkin problem!"

Rumor has it Myers is working on a 4th Austin Powers movie that delves into Dr. Evil's past a bit more... I'm excited for that.

I was always a fan of The Thing and I am hesitantly excited about a prequel being in the works.

Wild Things is also going to be remade, with a new hottie on the block, Jillian Murray. Yay for that one.

Where the Wild Things Are - This is one of those movies I avoid previews of, conversations, clips and pics... I just want it to be completely untainted when I see it. Don't know what to expect at all, just how I like it...

Saw 6 - Just have to wrap up this mega series...

The Hobbit - Not sure of the direction here yet, but I am jazzed to see what becomes of this one.

Parallel War I, II, III - I have been writing this 3D Thrillogy off and on since I was 14. I missed the boat regarding the 3D movie screen transition 2 years ago and may never finish, but over such time you get to see more and more of my own ideas revealed in other movies and in actual science... seeing my movie theories proven or witnessed in science is pretty cool... :yeso: Seeing my shots and other ideas in movies is not as cool... :(

Agreed. This is hands down, Luc Besson's greatest film. It is probably also my favorite Gary Oldman performance. The Fifth Element is good too. I still need to see Nikita. I don't know how or why I have put that film off for so long.
