The Not-so Less-than Official Recommend a Movie Thread - Page 4

48 Hours- Great action flick full of laughs, escaped killers and The Busboys. What more could you ask for.

Looker- Albert Finney as a plastic surgeon who works on some of the hottest models that end up dead, and not why you think. Its eerily close to real life movies today what with cgi and all. Plus you get to see Laurie Partridge naked (something for the old guys in the crowd).

I dunno if it's been recommended yet, but Alpha Dog is SO key.

osirus2020 · 12-30-2007, 05:21 PM

I saw Juno the other day. I was under the impression it was a comedy but turned out just to be a drama. I kind of liked it though because I can related to a lot in the movie.

Silverleaf · 01-04-2008, 12:56 AM

I quite enjoyed Blood Diamond. Leonardo DiCaprio is a fucking great actor. ftw.

Delicatessen was dope, I made the lady at the video store order Amelie and it should be here sometime in the next couple weeks...I'm looking forward to it, got any other recs?

The Shit... I liked it waaaaaaay more than The Departed...

I just recently saw

Bridge To Terabithia(sp?) which was a suprisingly good flick for a kids film...

The Triplets of Belleville, great little french film, animated, with a very clever story

Both films are highly recommended...

I saw Juno last week and I was impressed, it was a very well written and moving film...

I recently saw Fargo for the first time and that movie was highlarious, the coen brothers make amazing films...

I also picked up Gus Van Sants "Death" Trilogy for 20 bucks...

Last Days - A documentary like work of fiction, about a character based on kurt cobain, the movie is filmed in this gritty style and takes place over the last few days of a troubled singers life, a lot of the film takes place with him just walking around mumbling to himself while other people carry on without really paying attention to his decline... It isn't a movie for every one but sheds some new light on the subject...

Elephant: Also filmed in the same kind of gritty this is real and happening now style, this one takes a look at a school from the beginning of the day from the perspective of several different teenagers going to high school, on the day of a school shooting.. It was based on Columbine and instead of glorifying the act it makes one realize how fucked the whole situation was for everyone involved...The movie is almost boring, except that you have this weird feeling all movie that it is building up to something terrible...Very moving flick...

Gerry: The third I watched but the first released of the non-trilogy trilogy, this one is also filmed using the same methods..This one involves two hikers who get lost in the desert...Almost a silent movie, the silence adds to the despair of the realization of being separated from society and having no idea how to get back... This was a pretty moving film and when there is dialog it is almost humorous...

"Ed Gein"

not the one starring Kane Hodder but the other one. Much more factual. and fucked up.

^mint film.

Knockaround Guys, Barry Pepper, Seth Green, Vin Diesel, John Malkovitch in a Mafia comedy/caper.

Good film, not Oscar worthy in any sense, but very entertaining nonetheless.

Meh, it was good for what it was...Nothing more than another big budget Smith film that was supposed to be so epic it couldn't help but be good...28 days later is a way better apocalyptic virus film imo...

Also, if you havent seen Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, or Raising Arizona, they are all fantastic movies by the Coens.

I also just saw Following, which was Christopher Nolan's (Memento, Batman Begins) first movie. It's about a stalker, very very good.

I've long been an avid supporter of the Coen's works...

I picked the Following up randomly the other night and I was surprised at the quality of it...For a low budget film it does the trick...

And on to the reason for the bump....

I recently saw a couple movies that were worth suggestion...

The Sasquatch Gang: starring Justin Long, a film directed by the assistant director from Napoleon Dynamite...It shares the same irreverent, stupid, outcast humor...

The Darjeeling Limited: a Wes Anderson film, starring Owen Wilson, Adam Broady, and Jason Schwartzman, in a coming together story about three brothers on a train trip across India...

spicoli · 04-21-2008, 02:13 AM

For funny: Uncle Buck, Planes Trains & Automobiles, I heart Huckabee's, Tommy Boy, Running With Scissors (also drama but funny too)...
For drama: Happy Accidents (vincent donofrio, marissa tomei), 21 Grams, Jesus' Son (Stellar performances by Billy Crudup, Samantha Morton, Jack Black and Dennis Leary), The Constant Gardener.
Back with more, ima movie whore.

Edit: Oh yeah...recently watched 'Let's Go to Prison' w/Will Arnett. effing funny)

Never seen Uncle Buck I will have to check that one out
PTA is pure class
I just recently watched i <3 huckabees and that movie is a trip
Tommy Boy = Classic
Running With Scissors, I've always looked at this one but have never actually made the dive...

For drama: Happy Accidents (vincent donofrio, marissa tomei), 21 Grams, Jesus' Son (Stellar performances by Billy Crudup, Samantha Morton, Jack Black and Dennis Leary), The Constant Gardener.

Drama is a section I never make it to, I'm always all up in the comedy/special int/New sections so the only one out of those that I have seen is 21 Grams which is stellar...So it looks like I will be busy the next cople of nights...

Edit: Oh yeah...recently watched 'Let's Go to Prison' w/Will Arnett. effing funny)
Great unknown little film

For anyone who is still reading, my suggestion for this week is....

I'm Reed Fish....

Staring Jay Baruchel, I'm Reed Fish is a good movie that tells the story of Reed Fish a recent high school graduate, who works at his small town radio station...Who is faced with the tough decision of staying with his too quick to grow up finance or the recently back to town trying to find herself childhood friend...

Krunk · 04-21-2008, 07:28 PM

12 Monkeys is awesome.

spicoli · 05-13-2008, 01:16 PM

ok, grieves, which, if any of the suggested films have you viewed? reviews, por favor?

badgoalie85 · 05-13-2008, 02:00 PM

don't know if anyone's said it but i don't feel like reading through the whole thread.

all you need to know about movies is that none of them can ever compare to Matt Stone and Trey Parker's Team America: World Police.
