Movie suggestion thread.

[Rangerscott]

Just suggest a movie for us to watch that you thought was good.

Little Miss Sunshine - Wasnt sure about this one but it turned out good. The family is all kinds of screwy. Tye mom and daughter are tye only normal ones. The dad is the "believe in your self 100% and a failure," Steve Carrel is the depressed uncle, the son doesnt speak, and The gramps had me laughing good. Nothing like a coked up grandpa. LOL.

Sunshine cleaning - Its got Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. What else do you want? Its two sisters that get tired of their jobs and need to make a better wage so they get into body cleanup. Emily is the loser sister still with dad and Amy still trys to live her life as how she wanted it to after high school by having an affair with tye guy that didnt marry her. The gramps is the same gramps from little miss sunshine. Its another comedy that has a heart warming meaning at the end.

Extract - Good cast with Jason Batmen, Mila Kunis, Kristen Wiig, and Ben Affleck. Its kinda office space comedy since its from the same guy. If you like office space or anything like that, then you should enjoy this.

Reign Over Me - I thought it was great. The two main characters are Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle. I know its adam sandler and a lot of people hate him. He did good with his character. He loses his family during 9/11 and copes with it in his own way which is avoiding people and forgeting them. Don ends up runing into him and adam has "forgotten" him. Don does his best to help Adam out the whole movie, but Adam fights everyone when his family is brought up. I dont know how I would be if I had lost my family. Im pretty sure I would completely break down too.


Looper - Its sci-fi so its thumbs up for me. It has killing, time travel, and a cool ending.

[LeeNetworX]

Are you asking for suggestions or giving them to us?

I'm lost.

[Sixxxxer]

Both I think...He is suggesting them but giving a brief review so you know what your in for.

Lawless - It's about Moonshine during the beginning of Prohibition. And Shia Lebeouf plays a great character...Three brothers try and play the outlaw lifestyle to fight the government from taking there money from the moonshine business. Violent and Alcohol Driven...What more do you need?

Warrior: It's got Tom Hardy and Nick Nolte. Like many films, it's not about the subject matter which is MMA. As my wife put it: "When I saw you click on it in Netflix, I thought great another fighting movie but, it was a great movie"! By the end, she was wiping-out the kleenex. It's got everything for both men and women. Good story, good action, great performances!

The Tall Man: Jessica Biehl. Honestly, that's enough for me but, it's an interesting story with a heck of a twist that will have you wondering throughout the movie what's really happening.

Going back a ways...

Forbidden Planet! Leslie Nielson before he was a comedic actor in one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time! It introduced us to Robbie the Robot!

Vision Quest: Mathew Modine and Linda Fiorentino. Standard 80's coming of age film focused around high-school wrestling. One of my favorites of all time! Good soundtrack and Madonna's first on screen performance.

Ogre (2008)

Not exactly an Emmy winner, but kinda cool & creative

[EpyonXero]

On Netflix?

Twilight Samurai - Great Japanese movie about the (realistic) life of a low level samurai at the end of the Meiji Era.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil - Finally watched this movie last month. Id seen it around but assumed it would be stupid but it ended up being pretty funny.

[Turbo Ghost]

Tucker and Dale was a hilarious twist on the usual college kids in the woods scenario!

[CasterTroy]

Safe house: Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington. CIA movie about corrupt agents. Reynolds is a bored as hell safehouse operator in a shit detail in Capetown South Africa and Denzel is a rogue agent that's been captured and is about to be interrogated when all hell breaks loose.
Great movie. First 10 minutes are kind of slow, the rest is complete action. Bourne Identity-esque but Ryan isn't a super-roided human. Just a dude thinking well on his feet.

Domino: Keira Knightley plays a "based on a semi-true story" of a runway model turned bounty hunter. Real life story was boring and marginal. The real Domino died of an overdose during production so they rewrote the end to be more "hollywood"
A toned down more "real" Lara-croft meets Pink (singer) and kicks some ass. She does a pretty hot sex scene. You get to see the twats from 90218 (Ian zoorung and Megan Fox's husband) get beat up and pushed around which is a plus.

[goof2]

A few for now:

Man on Fire: Denzel Washington being a badass and killing everyone. Good story.

Payback: Mel Gibson being a badass and killing everyone. Maria Bello is hot.

The Last Boy Scout: Bruce Willis being a badass and killing everyone. Football.

Rounders: Matt Damon, Edward Norton, lots of other famous people. Nobody really gets killed. Poker.

Thirteen Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis as seen from the perspective of one of JFK's closest aides, Kenny O'Donnell. Once you get past the shitty Boston accents its a pretty good movie.

Thats all for now.

[Rangerscott]

Has anyone seen Surrogates with Bruce Willis? Wish amazon instant video would let me watch it.

[goof2]

I saw it when it first came out on video, from what I remember it was OK but nothing really that special. I'm not a sci-fi/futuristic nut or anything though so others might appreciate it more.

Side-note: Payback is a remake of Point Blank starring Lee Marvin. The original isn't very good but, worth watching if you like Lee Marvin. I think it's available on Netflix.
Side-side-note: Lucy Liu is incredibly sexy in Payback!

The new Jason Statham movie Parker is also based on the same character, but is based on a different Donald Westlake novel.

Along the same lines you have "The Day the Earth Stood Still." And I DON'T mean the crappy Keanu remake. It's the first anti-nuke movie, made in 1951. Gort: Klatu berada nikto.

"Iron Sky" - Supremely stoopit. Loved it.

Iron Sky was baaaad. Some good nudity would have redeemed it a bit but, not much!

The original TDTEST was a great movie but, I thought the Keanu version was decent.

That movie was so bad the first time I saw it (on an airplane) I walked out on it!

So I'm watching it again right now.

Whole movie...but spanish subtitles :skep:

[Papa_Complex]

When you realize that it was supposed to be bad and laden with schlock references, it becomes far less bad. It works for National Lampoon, but people always wanna shit on the little guy :(

[Rangerscott]

I was the one that brought up that movie. Still havent seen it. LOL. Was disappointed to find out it xame ourt to be what it is instead of being serious.

[Papa_Complex]

It's a movie about Nazis. On the moon.

Might as well expect a superhero movie to be serious :lol:

I had the same problem with Iron Sky as with many other films. I expect the laws of physics to apply as relevant to that reality.
Iron Sky was set in our world in our current time. The nazis had been living on the moon since 1942. The main players were born on the moon. Yet, when they arrived on Earth, they walked around like the rest of us instead of collapsing like astronauts do when they just spend a short time in space or on the moon. It's the little things that irritate me.
Honestly, I'm not far from being Sheldon on Big Bang Theory.

[CasterTroy]

I had a bigger problem with their bleaching the black guy than with their ignoring gravity changes.

White overnight? Nah man! It took M.J. 30 years to do it

[CasterTroy]

BTW Trip, does M I C H A E L Jack son still have to be michael jackson in the smiley que? :lol

Oh, come on now! They were genetically superior.

It was ok, good concept, wasn't executed to it's full potential.

[Turbo Ghost]

Yes! Could have been a great movie but, it took a wrong turn!

[OneSickPsycho]

Saw End of Watch the other day... a little cheesy and Hollywood, but I liked it...

Fell asleep three times watching Snow White and The Huntsman on the plane last night... upset that it used battery life I didn't need.

They probably invented artificial gravity. Those Nazis invented everything.

Including the American space programme.

[Trip]

we don't have programmes

[CasterTroy]

we don't have programmes

Stop! You're being off-colour

[Papa_Complex]

we don't have programmes

Well given the drop in funding, you really don't anymore.

Pandorum

Not as good as Event Horizon but a nice scifi thriller. So I suggest watching this first, then watching event horizon. Walmart sells those $7 blurays and event horizon is one of them

DO NOT watch pathfinders. I dont know how I got through it. Not saying its bad because it was low budget and doing its best to tell a story, it was just bad. The constant talk then pause, talk then pause was way too annoying.

[Rangerscott]

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

Two thumbs up. I didnt look into this film and thought it was gonna be a low low budget film. I was wrong and glad about it. It has vamps, Abe, an axe, and 1800's ass kickin.

Meh, I thought it was ok. The stampede scene was almost enought to make me shut it off. It got better...
