I spend more time watching Food Network than anything else other than baseball, so naturally I loved this movie...

Your favorite movies:



GREEN = I love it
BLACK = I like it
RED = yucky
BLUE = haven't seen it

There's too much blue for my liking but there's also a lot of green. The only films out of your top 10 I didn't like was Gran Torino, utter bollocks. Not seen Alien yet, although I've owned it since the summer of 2006. :laughing:

What didn't you like about Gran Torino?

Just watch Alien already, easily my favorite "old" film.

A lot of those blue-marked movies are in my NetFlix queue: A Clockwork Orange, Heat, Mulholland Drive, and Sin City. Technically I've seen part of the Green Mile, and I have Kill Bill V2 sitting around here on VHS somewhere... :laughing:

I went to the cinema with a date and I wanted to watch the film but she kept distracting me. But from what I saw it was fucking awful. Guy catches someone trying to steal his car then he employs him. It just didn't appeal to me. I may rewatch it where it can have my undivided time, I can't really comment on how well it was made because I was only half watching it.

A Clockwork Orange and Mulholland Drive are must watch! :D as is Kill Bill vol 2, you need to watch vol 2 before vol 3 comes out! You have about 3 or 4 years yet though.

^Great documentary. Those were some crazy years.

Brilliant, almost poetic at times. Really interesting characters as well and the relationships between them.

sidewinder 05-24-2010 07:04 PM

Haven't been in this thread in a while, as I've been mostly watching series like Weeds, The Wire, Mad Men, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, etc. instead of movies. But the other night I watched Max Payne (unrated director's cut), and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

Could be another favourite to add to the list but we'll see, it was very profound considering the year it was made. The ideas explored in it were relevant at the time, and even though now watching them ideas they were a bit moot but they gave you an insight into the characters mind set. Really great film.

If for some reason you decide you want to watch this too don't research it first! It ruins the movie!

ugh. it pains me to hear someone speak of a chaplin film as 'kind of cool in a quirky way'. let's just end this exchange...

These people know how to throw a party... and I'm definitely getting that soundtrack!

Finally got round to watching this. Bought it for £3 and it's money well spent! Really good, not quite as good as Hot Fuzz though.

I watched The Business last night. I enjoyed it but couldn't help thinking it wanted to have better production or cinematography. I'm ok with it not being of higher quality, it just felt like it was striving for it. It was just lacking in some way, but it's still a good flick.

I sure did! And my Shaun of the Dead cherry. Both in the same night. Anchorman was hilarious at times, the erection scene amused me. :laughing:

I kind of felt with Anchorman I was laughing.. but in a guilty pleasure kind of way, it was just really silly. Almost like one of them bad spoof movies except quite funny.

It makes enough sense and it's the funniest movie I've ever seen... good enough for me! :beer:

Funniest film you've ever seen? Bold statement. But it's up there, really funny film. The erection scene in the office was hilarious. Really enjoyable. I'm trying to keep my DVD collection a bit tidier (get rid of a load of crap comedies I bought ages ago) so when I bought Shaun of the Dead and Anchorman I was feeling a bit nervous whether they'd stay in my collection. But they will both sit in my collection with pride. :thumb:

Everybody's calling me out on bold statements lately!

But yeah, I watched it nearly every day the summer it came out on DVD. We started every afternoon with a bowl of cereal and a few scenes of Anchorman. Me and my friends pretty much had the entire movie memorized. Just look at the cast: Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Seth Rogan... there were a ton of young up and coming comedians in that film...

Still, funniest you've EVER seen! Very bold. But yeah, it's definitely up there. Really good film and I thought that when watching it, I wasn't aware of the cast and then I was like that's Paul Rudd! There's Vaughn! Some really funny lines in there, good for quoting them. I'll definitely rewatch Anchorman.

Up In the Air

George Clooney works for an agency that is hired by other businesses to fire their employees. Clooney is a loner and spends like 300 days a year traveling (or something like that).

Good movie. It's by the producers of Juno. Has it's funny moments. But it's really like one of those movies that you see once and that's enough. :)

Directed by Fred Durst. Not quite as equal of a gift to society as Limp Bizkit, but a good movie nonetheless.

For cereals though, a really good film. Don't just discredit it because Durst directed...

Both good looks into the world of metal, however both are missing vital pieces of information that I'm going to blame on time constraints than ignorance or an impartial viewpoint. Sam Dunn has even gone on the record saying if he could do six hours worth of material he would, and even then you would only be able to scratch the surface of metal as a whole. If you're curious about learning more about metal these are good starting points, but if you're looking for something with more of an "umph" then you're better off looking for other documentaries.

In Metal: A Headbanger's Journey the scene with Gaahl from Gogoroth is hilarious.

Requiem for a Dream
http://reelflicks.files.wordpress.co...or_a_dream.jpg

first time i've ever watched this. from the second i pressed play, i knew i was in for something that wasn't going to be the smoothest ride. in short, it was powerful and something eye opening and intense. the very last scene with the mom and the game show brought tears to my eyes. not for everyone, but something everyone should see. damn good movie.

The sound effects? What sound effects? Not sure I noticed, unless I did and it just didn't bother me.

^An instant favourite. So fucked up.
It weirdly reminded me of a 1968 movie entitled Candy (not the one with Heathledger) -Which was a kind of adaptation of the book by Voltaire, Candide. It's this stranger to reality, entrapped in this childish naivety, adventuring into the land. Just twistedly beautiful.

Just the sound effects of bones getting crushed etc during the fights. I watched it in surround sound. They were so real/ gross.

Hmm, I think I might listen to some Gorgoroth for old times' sake. The interview with Mayhem is hilarious as well :laughing:

maintains it's grip throughout. i wish the ending was a bit more fleshed out but a good film nonetheless.
