The Recommend Me a Movie Thread

✌➬ · 05.01.2008, 12:18 AM

So recommend me a movie. Also anyone can use this to ask for some advice on movies.

atsonicpark · 05.01.2008, 12:55 AM

Not to be condescending to anyone else, but I probably watch more movies than most of this board, since I usually watch one to two a day, almost every week day..

Anyway, I have no idea what kind of shit you're into, and most things I've watched lately has sucked, but some of my recent favorites were...

- I Stand Alone
- Death Powder
- Rampo Noir
- Zebraman
- Tokyo Fist
- Paprika
- Crazy Lips
- Sudden Impact
- Iron Warrior (so bad it's good)
- Strange Circus
- End of Evangelion

If you haven't seen El Topo or Holy Mountain, those are required films to be watched...........

I really hope no one reccomends Requiem for a Dream or Donnie Darko. Those films are awful.

Pi's pretty cool though.

Eyes wide shut sucks in my opinion (I'd recommend many Kubrick films but not that one). I agree on Mulholland drive.

Ironic appreciation of blaxploitation films is always cool.

Torn Curtain · 05.01.2008, 07:38 AM

The Virgin suicides and Lost in translation.

Brazil - We are living Gilliam's dystopian nightmare.

Fight Club - I am Jack's infected wound. A diatribe against consumerism.

Mr. Smith Goes To Washington - Hope springs eternal. Capra gives you hope that one person CAN make a difference.

White Heat - The ultimate gangster film. Cagney ruthlessly almost climbs to the top of the criminal ladder during the time of prohibition.

Man, I'm the only person on earth who didn't think Brazil was all that.

I thought it would've been really great, except the main chick who acted in it was just terrible...

atsonicpark · 05.01.2008, 09:08 AM

Oh fuck yeah, Rob, Bad Lieutenant is in my top 10 favorite films ever.

Fuck it, here's my top 10:

1. taxi driver
2. el topo
3. tetsuo: the iron man
4. videodrome
5. holy mountain
6. izo
7. maniac (1980)
8. wild at heart
9. bad lieutenant
10. pinnochio 964

mangajunky · 05.01.2008, 09:11 AM

Re: Brazil - Kim Griest is definitely the weakest link in that flick, but Jonathan Price and the rest of the cast are so amazing that it makes up for it. Ian Holm is such a great weenie of a boss and Katherine Helmond is a nightmare of a manipulating mother.
