The Last Good Movie You Saw?

[sprained_ankle]

Watched dumb and dumber and ace Ventura (but refuse to watch the mask) dumb and dumber is still funny ace Ventura has its moments but Jim Carrey is so annoying also it's barely even a movie how fast it all goes.


The general with Buster Keaton is also always good.

Smooookin'!

Somebody stop me!

Ace Ventura 2 is far superior to 1 for the rhino scene alone

That's the thing with the ace Ventura's it's just like Jim Carrey or whoever thought of 200 seperate "funny" things and just tried to jam them all into a movie. It makes sense as far as people bought tickets to laugh so take as many shots as possible but then a nerd like me can overthink it and be like why did he talk out of his ass for one minute? it has nothing to do with the story in any way

Watch Sullivan’s Travels.   It shows you why Sofia Coppola loves Daddy’s Home, Christopher Nolan loves MacGruber, and so on.

The Fifth Element is still a great watch. I love how much time and focus was spent on every character - bit player or not - and practical effect. I’d say it wasn’t slow, but you get to see and hear a lot along the way; more than in most modern films. The first half reminded me of playing Grand Theft Auto, especially the police chase early on.

Yeah it rules. It's kinda got og star wars qualities where it's just like here's the world and doesn't need to go into every little detail of everything just go along for the ride (unlike say current star wars) funny how the Dallas and zorg never meet each other for the entire movie either. For some reason in Aus there's like full weekends where they just play it on loop.

I miss those cable tv days.. I watched Anaconda with my cousins a hundred times one summer cause it was on loop constantly.

I wish Star Wars were at least as colorful as Fifth Element, but I finally have accepted their is no life left in that universe. Everything is gray or tan. Boring.

Fifth Element really was a million characters coming together in a ridiculous way, and not too dark or drawn out. I rewatch it and forget why I waited so long.

The Warriors, free on YouTube with ads.

I've recently watched most of the screwball comedy collection on Criterion Channel. My favorites so far are Easy Living and Midnight, directed by Mitchell Leiden and My Man Godfrey, directed by Gregory La Cava.

[Mean salto]

Filmed in supermarionation
Not a film just a light doco about the company that made Thunderbirds, captain scarlet, UFO etc. Little look behind the scenes of how they did effects and shit.

[Blind Fisherman]

Finally watched Hereditary with my partner last night. I see why it was so highly praised now. That shit was original and had me tense and uncomfortable the entirety of the film. Highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it yet.

William Powell was such a great lead in screwballs. He's so good with Myrna Loy in the Thin Man

I saw Cocaine Bear last night. It's not going to be winning awards by any means. But it is exactly what it set out to be. A campy b movie where a bear on cocaine mauls a bunch of people.

Master and Commander



an all time favorite

Are there fun deaths? That's a kinda fucked sentence but that's really all that matters in a horror movie.

Also it's kind of funny they play ads for cocaine bear all day on tv but feels like only like two years ago they wouldn't even directly say people smoked weed on tv it just had to be vaguely implied.

There’s funny scenarios, but the deaths have a bmovie grisliness (pun maybe intended).   I don’t know if I would call any of them Ha Ha funny

Re-Watched this on the plane….

Not a movie but HBO has this Stephen King mini series (10 episodes) called The Outsider. I haven't seen it being discussed anywhere so went in knowing nothing about it. It was really good and I highly recommend it. Since I binged it, it felt like one long movie.

It’s been out for a while.   It’s classic King in that the premise is amazing and the execution is lacking and often self-plagiarizing (in this case it gets very It in the end)

I had a lot of fun watching this.  The series trailer was very misleading (if you've watched it, you know what I'm talking about).

Feel like this was just part of a trend with the misleading thing. Like ten other shows did the same thing around this time

Watched Ronin again recently

You wanna talk about an ambush? I just ambushed you with a fucking cup of coffee!

Ah I remember watching that in the theaters as a kid and thinking that was the coolest damn movie.   Was that the last great dramatic DeNiro role?

[BallDontLie]

Good ole Sean Bean… cinemas/televisions death boy.

Spoiler for a 17 year old game, he even dies early into elder scrolls oblivion lol

I always knew him as the guy who turns traitor (which GoT plays up nicely) as Boromir, Trevelyan, and Ronin

I think it might be. He mostly did family fare through the 2000s

What's crazy is he doesn't even die! He just gets exposed as a fraud in Ronin.

This one seems to be pretty divisive, but my partner and I watched The Menu last night and we loved it. I'm usually pretty good about being able to pick up on and call what twist is coming, but I couldn't do it with this one. I need to rewatch it soon to really take it all in.

[Mean salto]

Doctor mordrid
Kind of a perfect 90s VHS movie. It's cheesy but fun. Actually good (not great), not overly long, some cool effects. As a kid I thought the villain was the wrestler edge

[Atiba Applebum]

James Grey - Armageddon Time might hit some people in the sweet spot

[matt_2993]

Take Shelter was a solid movie. I love Michael Shannon and now I know where that storm meme comes from

I honestly thought they were gonna be vampires or cannibals.

Also my fiance and i watched black narcissus last night and wow. Some of the best set design I've ever seen. Blown away that it was mostly filmed on a sound stage

1941



a true classic
