The Movies Thread

[Aezeroth]

Anyone here a heavy flick-watcher? Well, I am. Aside from the general action/thriller movies, most of my fav. movies are dramas. Here's a few of them:

The Godfather
The Shawshank Redemption (the most inspirational movie I ever watched)
Good Will Hunting
Gladiator
Road to Perdition
Castaway
Hoosiers

[CT-272]

CastAway is good. :)

It would take me a while to list all the movies I've enjoyed.
I mostly like movies that leave you thinking through and through out.

[Aezeroth]

Yep it is good. I particularly enjoyed the artistry demonstrated by the scenes when he was on the island.

[|_maPex_|]

If you have Gladiator you must be crazy not to include Braveheart.

[Aezeroth]

I haven't seen Braveheart...the painted faces didn't appeal to me at first, what's it about?

[|_maPex_|]

Braveheart is Gladiator except about 1200 years later. Watch it and you will understand what I mean. If I try to praise Braveheart I will only be insulting it because the movie is much greater than anything words could describe. The same goes for Gladiator.

[Aezeroth]

What about the plot?

[Abe]

1st movie of all time: Requiem for a Dream
and then goes:
Donnie Darko
The Butterfly Effect
and ofcourse Fight Club (dont watch it as a simple action-jackson-karate-sex-all-these-hollywood movies ;))

[Alesh]

The Butterfly Effect
and ofcourse Fight Club (dont watch it as a simple action-jackson-karate-sex-all-these-hollywood movies ;))Agreed, even if i don't agree with his last choice in the Butterfly Effect. But i guess that's what USA people like... oh well.

[Abe]

Agreed, even if i don't agree with his last choice in the Butterfly Effect. But i guess that's what USA people like... oh well.

im not merican ;)
well, you have to admit that Butterfly Effect was interesting in some point of view. Havent you ever thought that you can go back and do something different?

[CT-272]

I think I'll check out a few of these movies.
I have seen a few mentioned here, but not all.

Butterfly Effect was not a bad movie, but Donnie Darko was definitely better in comparison IMO.

Since this is a universal movies thread, what is the worst film you have seen?
Try to keep it civil, and remember... it is only a movie. :p

[Chairwalker]

Donnie Darko was just a 'woooooh, look! weird sh!t is happening! DEEEEEEEP' movie. Plus the dude annoyed me (not THE dude, i mean the main character)
Butterfly was so full of plotholes and crazy ass acting that i kinda lost focus while watching.
Fight Club, however, Is a fine, fine, fine movie.

I dont like saying wich is best and wich comes second, but in the area of 'movies that leave you thinking' Fight Club's number 1.

[DaveGrohl]

The Shawshank Redemption is wicked

my 2 fav films are Ghostbusters 1 and 2

Donnie darko is a kick assfilm u cant diss it chair :p

[=tom=]

Blade Runner :p

[Aezeroth]

The worst movie? I'll have to say any stupid teen movie, like Cruel Intentions.

[|_maPex_|]

Cruel Intentions was the sh*t man! SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR WAS SO HOT. Anyway, I think Blade Runner wasn't too great a movie. The Usual Suspects (OMFG THE TWO TWISTS AT THE END) and Boondock Saints are great action/humor movies w/ messages send to the audience to get you thinking.

[Aezeroth]

Here's the sh*t list for movies, in no particular order:

Resident Evil
Resident Evil 2
Bring it On
Cruel Intentions
Deep Blue Sea
Anaconda (the one with Jennifer Lopez)
Armaggeddon
Batman and Robin
Aliens vs Predator
The Score
the stupid Pokemon movies
Speed 2
Demolition Man


Feel free to add more.

[Jedistrike]

SPIDER MAN ... it sucked bad .. well mj was hot .. but u know

[nanoo]

Since this is a universal movies thread, what is the worst film you have seen?

Worst movie I have seen is definitely Gigli (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0299930/). I knew it was said to be one of the worst movies ever. And that was the reason I wanted to see it ^_^

But I never imagined it could be really that bad. You know when the movie is bad enough it becomes actually funny... and it isn't anymore that bad. But this movie just was so bad that it wasn't even funny. I laughed only few times because there was few really really stupid situations... But it was so boring. There was some 30 second scenes where no-one said anything... only Lopez and Affleck watching each other or just sitting. Yes it was most boring film ever.

Plot outline (from imdb): "A lowly thug falls in love with the lesbian who is sent to oversee his abduction job."

Well best movies... There are many of them. I won't say them now :) Let's see If I list some of them here some day..

[Mazoon]

When we are talking about the worst movie...
Why didnt anyone mention Cutthroat Island?

[CT-272]

I think the worst movies are listed here: http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom
(Gotta agree with the IMDb goodness)

Lawnmower Man sequels: definetely terrible.
Every store I visit literally have copies for under a £ or are throwing copies of the video at customers... *shudders*

[DaveGrohl]

Nah the worst movie ever for me was AI god it was a load of steamy crap

[Alesh]

im not merican ;)
well, you have to admit that Butterfly Effect was interesting in some point of view. Havent you ever thought that you can go back and do something different?I meant i don't agree with the life he chose at the end :P

Has anybody seen Delicatessen?

And why hasn't anybody said anything about LotR yet? :P

[Aezeroth]

LOTR...I still don't like that movie. It tries so hard to draw suspense from the fact that the bad guys outnumber the good guys 10:1, but the good guys always end up winning cause Legolas and Aragorn can own 90% of the whole Orc army.

[Alesh]

Poor Gimli... he kills more orcs than Legolas in the books...

[Vitjor Melkalis]

nah, i think the worst movies ever are the Three Ninjas sequel.
in second place comes the Home Alone sequel :p.

[Aezeroth]

Vitjor, please don't bring your ninja garbage everywhere you go...

[El Vi-Riachi]

Vitjor, please don't bring your ninja garbage everywhere you go...

LOL :p

[Vitjor Melkalis]

no really! those Three ninjas movies are really crap! its one of those Z movies about 3 kids w/ ninja powers. i only mentionated that movie because its the worst movie i ever saw (its no way related to my stinkin ninja cliche thread :p)

[|_maPex_|]

WTF are you talking about? Three Ninjas was awesome when I was younger. So was the sequel. I know its unrealistic but its only a damn PG rated movie meant for kids to enjoy.

"Rocky loves Emily...Rocky loves Emily"

"Why is his name Tum Tum?"
"Cause he'll eat anything"
"Except dog poop!"

[Dill Pickle]

teen age mutant ninja turtles 2: secrects of the ooze owns 3 ninjas by far tho. anyone born in the 80's knows how much ass tmnts' kicked. 3 ninjas was sort of a eh "if you have nothing better to watch" movie. the aisan dude was better in karate kid and that movie was HORRIBLE. TMNT FOREVER!!! tmnt and ghostbusters = the most fun childhood ever.

[CT-272]

80% of the time, the worst movies are sequels. :cool:


TMNT FOREVER!!! tmnt and ghostbusters = the most fun childhood ever.
He knows his stuff. :p

[Marauder_44]

damn straight, back in the 80's they wetre the bomb! anyone dissed them around that time got their asses kicked medi-evil style

[Dill Pickle]

damn straight, back in the 80's they wetre the bomb! anyone dissed them around that time got their asses kicked medi-evil style
lol i rember playing tmnt with friends and we would all go home beat up. haha it was great. there would always be the one friend who would cry and another who would take it too seriously and like try to seriously hurt someone.

[Aezeroth]

I enjoyed power rangers back in the day, blue ranger was my favorite. When I look back upon those days, I realize how dumb I was.....the red ranger should've been my favorite!

[CT-272]

Everyone knows the White Ranger was the real deal. :cool:

[Aezeroth]

I also liked the Pink Ranger, she was a hottie. Gordon also annoyed the hell outta me, he did basically nothing but was constantly about to die.

[Padawan]

green and white pwned ;P the blue was kinda weak =/ the old dinosaur ranger series ;D
i still watch power rangers when i come back home form drinking or partys.. or both xD

[Abe]

I enjoyed power rangers back in the day, blue ranger was my favorite. When I look back upon those days, I realize how dumb I was.....the red ranger should've been my favorite!

Red Ranger was the best!

[=DavikKang=]

oh my goodness....you guys are talking about power rangers. Even worse, you are talking about them in a positive way!

[Marauder_44]

the black ranger was my fav, no contest.

[El Vi-Riachi]

erm..... ok moving on

i like the last austin power movie no. 4 when Dr evil meets the reborn darth maul........

[Aezeroth]

green and white pwned ;P the blue was kinda weak =/ the old dinosaur ranger series ;D
i still watch power rangers when i come back home form drinking or partys.. or both xD

You watch Power Rangers when you are drunk? That's pretty funny.

[Dill Pickle]

oh my goodness....you guys are talking about power rangers. Even worse, you are talking about them in a positive way!
dude they were actually ok to like back in the day when it first started. green all the way (when he was evil that is) i was like 7 or 8 when it was on and it owned. you must have been born after 95 or something. parents were fighting over power ranger toys at christmas haha. and be honest compared to some shows aka pokemon.... power rangers owned that. but once again ghostbusters and ninja turtles RULE ALL. and the barney kids cant play because they suck.

[DaveGrohl]

power rangers kicked ass when it was just normal power rangers non of this stupid ninja storm ****. Green rangers zord kicked ass

Ghostbusters pwns all, then Thundercats, then TMHT. Did anyone see the thundercats movie?

[Aezeroth]

Ok, let's get back to movies...speaking of which, anyone remember that first Power Rangers movie? I liked it, but it seems like eons ago.

[Gabriel]

There was a movie of thundercats???

*pokes some P2P programs*

DL'ing :cool:

[DaveGrohl]

http://www.toydreams.co.uk/images/thundercats/videos/exodus.jpg

the first video telling the story of them. It was wicked i watched it so many times

Aezeroth u mean rangers and secret of the ooze :P (think thats it)

[Aezeroth]

No, I think it was called: Power Rangers The Movie.

I also enjoyed Transformers back in the day....hold up, this is the Movies Thread, let's talk about something else!

Anyways, anyone seen The Grudge yet? I heard it left some traumatic effects on the viewers.

[Gabriel]

Thundercats still own all cartoons tbh (must be because it had cats) :D :D

And btw, LoTR wasn't bad... The original bookversion was better...

[DaveGrohl]

no **** it wasnt secret of the ooze that was turtles! altho i thought the power rangers movie was about some purple gooey stuff tho

[Aezeroth]

Let's get back to the movie talk...what's the scariest movie you ever watched?

[|_maPex_|]

Don't know of any scary movies that are actually scary. I never had a nightmare due to a scary movie in my life. The only reason horror movies are scary is because the quick flashes of faces and the sounds that build up to scary images make you jump - they unexpected and b/c of instinct and your nerves you fly outta yer seat. If you mean scary as in like it affected you so you'd be paranoid after the movie, there's no such thing that has that effect on me.

I think the scariest movie I seen was Scary Movie (the original) b/c I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to die from my stomach exploding (no seriously, I am not kidding around. I was suffocating and choking and my stomach felt like it has three swords stuck into it)

[Dill Pickle]

who cares if it goes off topic thats the point of general "off topic" conversation :p ya i used to watch thunder cats but i liked Bucky O'Hare better anyone rember that? o ya and only movie that ever creeped me out was stephen kings it and i was 4

[El Vi-Riachi]

http://www.toydreams.co.uk/images/thundercats/videos/exodus.jpg

the first video telling the story of them. It was wicked i watched it so many times

Aezeroth u mean rangers and secret of the ooze :P (think thats it)

OMG lol i stsill have that in my video stash somewhere :p

[Gabriel]

Has anyone ever seen Gothica? :cool: Now that was a scary movie

[CT-272]

Has anyone ever seen Gothica? :cool: Now that was a scary movie
Nope. I like Dark Castle's productions (House on Haunted Hill got me hooked), but I wouldn't even watch a Halle Berry movie with my eyes closed. :p


Anyways, anyone seen The Grudge yet? I heard it left some traumatic effects on the viewers.

You should check out the website (http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thegrudge/) - if you have not already.
To me, it says:
The Ring: Revisited.
Subtitle: Another Asian Movie Remade.

Everyone who I've spoken to who visited the website didn't find it scary at all, yet I have seen discussion on boards that the website is freaky.
I'll probably watch the the original/s first before seeing the remake.
But I'm trying to keep open minded about it.

[Dill Pickle]

ya normally remakes suck BUT since i saw dawn of the dead and was so friggin stoked that it ruled and was better then the original. now i have hopes that other remakes can live up to surpases the original. and the grudge...... i woke up at 2 am and see on tv this white asian kid meowing and i was like wtf and went back to bed. it looks wierd but im thinking its going for shocking "stay in your dreams" visuals. i think that will work.

[Abe]

Gothica - typical Hollywood crap :P

[Gabriel]

Ah yes.. Star Wars... Typical Holywood crap... :p







jk

[Aezeroth]

Why is it that Gabriel always seems to kill threads?

[ZhaOYun]

Because has has the power! :D

[El Vi-Riachi]

shame his threads about bunny hopping etc dont die :p

[Aezeroth]

*Bans Gabriel from the thread*

[CT-272]

Oookay, back to movies. :p

Has anyone seen Shark Tale?
I've heard mixed opinions on it from "Finding Nemo" cash-in to "Animated classic". :confused:

Oh, and I believe the Grudge is out in the US, critique?

And if anyone is interested in watching a decent movie, check out Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - I enjoyed it.

[[KP] Tokakeke]

Eternal Sunshine anagrams to shi* LASER NE EN NU.

[CT-272]

You really need to lay off the 1337 cereal. :p

[Aezeroth]

Eternal Sunshine anagrams to shi* LASER NE EN NU.


99% of the time it's impossible to figure out what you're saying.

[Mazoon]

And the rest of the time we dont understand. :p
(J/K)

[Aezeroth]

Oookay, back to movies. :p

I haven't seen Shark Tale but I know that in terms of critic ratings, it's nowhere near in comparison to Finding Nemo

Yep, the Grudge is out in the US and I hear it's a damn scary movie. (Which means I won't watch it)

[Gabriel]

Predator Vs Aliens coming out here soon *bouncing around* sounds like a movie worth watching

[Chroniktoke]

alien vs. predator=pg13


i was PRAYING that it would be rated r.

[dee|mies]

avp = jurassic park with aliens instead of dinosaurs.

[Aezeroth]

dee, honestly, that's a very dumb thing to say. Jurassic Park was a great movie, and I'll assure you - AVP is horrible. I saw it a few months ago and you can trust me when I say it is bad. The movie targets the Aliens as evil and bloodthirsty but makes the Predators to be noble warriors. If I recall the Predator in the original movie, they are nothing like that. At the end of the movie, I really thought that the Predator was gonna kiss the female heroine.

[Chroniktoke]

ive also heard avp is horrible many times,but i cant jugde a film until i see it with my own two peepers, but jurassic park was awesome (PART2 IS MY FAV)

i read all the micheal keaton books before any of the films were ever realesesd and i knew whenever the movie was announced to be made,i knew it would be awesome....


A LITTLE TRUSTY BIRD HAS TOLD ME THAT WE ARE TO SEE A PART 4 BY 2006 ;)

[Gabriel]

A LITTLE TRUSTY BIRD HAS TOLD ME THAT WE ARE TO SEE A PART 4 BY 2006 ;)


omfg, they just can't stop with the dinosaurs! :p

[^RaPToR]

I love Indiana Jones: Raiders of The Lost Arc.
I just love it!! It f**king owns!

And The Theame Tune!! So Inspirational!!

I Also Love Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King!!
The Times When Theoden Leads His Cavalry Into Battle And When Aragon Leads The Army To The Black Gate, The Two Speeches Are So Inspirational!!

[Chairwalker]

The Times When Theoden Leads His Cavalry Into Battle And When Aragon Leads The Army To The Black Gate, The Two Speeches Are So Inspirational!!

I find them really corny. In a totally not-funny way.
But screaming "DEATH!" like a monkey that inhaled 6 pounds of sugar just before going into battle is pretty cool.

[=tom=]

The Times When Theoden Leads His Cavalry Into Battle

yeah the charge of the Rohirim is a fantastic scene

[^RaPToR]

Predator Vs Aliens coming out here soon *bouncing around* sounds like a movie worth watching

i watched alien vs predator on download!! It's ****!!

Wnat a good movie watch shrek 1 + 2 ill give u a copy of it on dvd for £5

[Chairwalker]

Shrek1 was original, witty, and very funny.

Shrek2 was like the first only without the originality, wit and humor. And they added a truckload of drama.
And not the good kind of drama, i mean the 'chick-flick' kind.
They might aswell had a robotic scissor-arm come out of the screen and cut my testicles off.

Good movie: American Beauty.
Just like FightClub it gives you that 'I dont give a ****, im just gonna have fun!' feeling.
Plus there's boobs in it.
Twice.

[Aezeroth]

Doesn't all movies have boobs?

[Chairwalker]

Yeah but unlike porn, American Beauty has a really good plot and superb dialogue.
The boobs are kinda so-so though. So i guess a movie cant have both.

[Aezeroth]

Ah, I see.

If any of you really want to see a powerful drama, go out and rent the Shawshank Redemption. It will definitely change your life (in a good way).

[ACiDuS]

yeah the charge of the Rohirim is a fantastic scene

Every time I watch that scene it gives me goosebumps. I truly think its one of the best pieces of acting and drama ever put on film.

I really liked shrek 2. I thought the first wasnt really that funny. It was like they assumed it was funny due to the setting, and didnt bother with jokes all that much. The second is a laugh a minute though.

As for avp. As I said, paul anderson has never made a good movie, and never will. He'll just go on ruining promising licenses by throwing pg13 pitches at studios.

[Chairwalker]

As I said, paul anderson has never made a good movie, and never will.

Well he did make Mortal Kombat1, wich was a terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE movie.
But it was awesome anyway because it had exploding corpses (something that never quite redeemed his other movies the way it did MK1)

[Aezeroth]

He also did Resident Evil, which is another horrible, horrible movie.

[ACiDuS]

Well he did make Mortal Kombat1, wich was a terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE movie.
But it was awesome anyway because it had exploding corpses (something that never quite redeemed his other movies the way it did MK1)


Mortal kombat was fun for 3 reasons and 3 reasons only:

Sub zero
Scorpion
Reptile

All 3 of which he managed to bitchslap into uselessness within 5 minutes.


He also did Resident Evil, which is another horrible, horrible movie.

Promising license + paul anderson = omg suxor.

To be honest its this guy I feel the most sorry for

http://www.hvrsd.k12.nj.us/Timberlane/students/BJ/images/020.jpg

He keeps signing on to these terrible movies and getting slaughtered in pointless and horrible ways within the first 20 minutes. The tragic part is he's actually a very good actor, and if he were given more than just a gory death in the script he could well elevate andersons movies beyond their normal level of crappiness.

[Aezeroth]

Yea, that scene with the computer going into spaz mode was dumb. And then half the "Special Ops" team got chopped into bits.

[=tom=]

lol just downloaded "Star Wars holiday special" :p
its years ago since i seen it for the last time

[Mazoon]

SW Holiday Special OWNZ!!
GL has said something like "If i´d had enough free time and a hammer, I would smash every copy of SW Holiday Special"
(LOL)

[=tom=]

a shame , this movie shows how social and what a nice guy Han really is :p
and how good Leia can sing :rolleyes:

[Alesh]

For some reason i'm glad i've never seen it.

[=tom=]

OMG !! uyou never seen Lumpy and Mala and Itchy ??? :rolleyes:


*edit*
w00t Veteran with 500 posts :p

[CT-272]

Nope, I haven't seen it neither.
It sounds like a Disney sing-a-long in the Mos Eisley cantina. :confused:

[Mazoon]

It happens on Kashyyk! AND IT OWNZORZ!! (If your brains are damaged, in other cases...)

[=tom=]

Nope, I haven't seen it neither.
It sounds like a Disney sing-a-long in the Mos Eisley cantina. :confused:

thats just a part of it
:p

[Aezeroth]

Damn....what happened to this thread?

Well, back to topic. There's a hell lot of good cartoon movies out right now. Namely, the Incredibles (haven't seen) and Polar Express. I saw Polar Express yesterday and it was a fun little movie that brought back some fond childhood Christmas memories. I also heard the Incredibles were real good, any of you seen it yet?

[Aezeroth]

Well, from what I've heard it's amazing. www.rottentomatoes.com gave it a 97% rating!

[Aezeroth]

This thread also needs some serious uppers. I heard Coach Carter is a damn good basketball movie, I might as well go see that.

Edit: But then again, any movie starring a singer who really can't sing at all is suspect.

Oh and if anyone hasn't seen Closer, go see that RIGHT NOW. The movie had really changed my perception of Natalie Portman being a little girl.

A really good somewhat thrilling movie is Collateral. Tom Cruise. Bad Guy.
Its about a black cab driver, who has a very bad night... very bad.
Its really a pretty good movie - Tom Cruise didn't seem like Tom Cruise, You Kind of forget who he was and see him as a Real Character.

Bah! Hardly any of you talk about the classics! The oldies! Before Hollywood became the craphole it is today. Like just recently, I watched It's a Mad Mad world. Sad thing is, I bet most of you haven't even heard of the thing!

What about all the Monty Phyton movies? Holy Grail, Life of Brian, The Meaning of Life...

I do enjoy the oldies. Of my favorites are: Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Scarface. I also enjoy old-time caper movies like Bonnie and Clyde and other Robert Redford movies.

Anybody seen Azumi? Gotta love slaughters involving katanas.

[Aezeroth]

Nope, never seen that movie before. I generally only watch movies that are mainstream.

Braveheart is Gladiator except about 1200 years later. Watch it and you will understand what I mean. If I try to praise Braveheart I will only be insulting it because the movie is much greater than anything words could describe. The same goes for Gladiator.

scottish warrior/ soldier, rebellionist

its about mel gibson with long hair and a badass motivation , his name was Scott Wallace and they used a war between the Scottish and Great Britian that was dated in history. Good two-tape movie.

i recommend old school horror films like, evil dead ( 1 and 2 and army of darkness), hellraiser (1-bloodline), nightmare on elm streets (1-Freddy vs. Jason) , and a lot more but dont feel like thinking up all 1 thousand of my favs :)
