Really, really kickass movies

[Partial]

The sum of all fears is a downright kickass movie.

Independence Day was awesome upon release. That movie freaked the hell out of me when I was younger. Then, there was that one scene where the scientist gets slammed against the glass. It is impossible not to jump!!

[MJZiggy]

Shawshank Redemption. Loved that one

[falco]

police academy 5: assignment miami beach

[Zool]

Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo

[KYPack]

Rent "Hostel", Partial.

That'll get ya goin'.

[MadtownPacker]

"Hostel" has to be one of the most phony/stupid movies I have ever seen. Security in that type of situation would be very high and some lil chump wouldnt be able to get away so easily.

KY - Maybe you thought is was scary cuz youre scared of getting locked up?

That pendeja MJ has it right when she mentioned "Shawshank Redemption". That is a TRUE classic that I have to watch whenever it is on.

You want to watch something, watch "American Me" with Edward James Olmos.

i gotta bring up the movie with the single greatest ending ever

Gladiator is just the ultimate movie in manliness. Nothing says cool like fighting entirely for revenge, and then dying immediately after finishing your quest.

Someone should make a chrono trigger movie.

[red]

The departed was amazing. Saw it on saturday

it was ok

it wasn't drop dead amazing like everything i've read about it says, i actually thought it was too predictable and kind of corney in spots

same with the prestege, it was just ok, not the best ending ever, like it said. i can't stand michael cain, i can't understand a f'ing word that comes out of his mouth

the illusionist was the better movie

[Partial]

any movie with a nuclear bomb going off and/or some sort of conspiracy theory is pretty awesome.

[Charles Woodson]

The departed was amazing. Saw it on saturday


the illusionist was the better movie

yes the illustionist was very good. it had me guessing for most of the movie. Rented it and didnt really want to watch it but i got in to the movie and it really made me think. Ending was pretty good

[BallHawk]

Citizen Kane
Seven Samurai
Rashamon

All three of those are timeless classics.

[GBRulz]

Of course I can never think of all my faves at once, but Crash was awesome. Let's see what else... Man On Fire, The Green Mile, Wedding Crashers, 16 Candles, Something About Mary, Chicago, Meet the Parents/Fockers, the list goes on.

Saw the Departed, it was ok. I didn't like the ending.

I didn't like Oceans 12 though

those two were both the shit, they have my 4 favorite actors(damon, clooney, pitt, and depp) and my massive female crush kiera. plus they were both just awesome stories

oceans 12 wasn't that great though. like partial said, 11 had a great story, 12 was kinda blah

[oregonpackfan]

"Little Miss Sunshine" was a hilarious, quirky movie.

It poked fun at the beauty pageants aimed at young girls.

Actor Alan Arkin was so irreverant I nearly cracked a rib laughing!

the new movie at the theaters right now called "300" is AWESOME!! It has entered my top ten favorites of all time. You HAVE to see it on the big screen. Sin City was great. Shawshank, Something About Mary, Ron Burgundy, Legend of an Anchorman, Happy Gilmore, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and of course, It's a Wonderful Life. Also, Arsenic and Old Lace is a great classic.

like what ones?

[Zool]

Watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Johnny Depp. Thats all I can tell you.

[MJZiggy]

Departed, Illusionist, Ron Burgundy, Man on Fire, Hostel, American Me for starters...

[the_idle_threat]

Departed, Illusionist, Ron Burgundy, Man on Fire, Hostel, American Me for starters...

On this list, I've only seen the Illusionist and Ron Burgundy (Anchorman).

I recommend the Illusionist --- it's a period piece, maybe 1890's or so, set in Europe. Stars Ed Norton and Jessica Biel.

I was disappointed by Anchorman, a Will Ferrell comedy. I expected it to be outstandingly funny after hearing so many good things about it. Even the Onion gave it a good review, which is rare. Usually the Onion only gives good reviews to independent films that nobody has ever heard of. Anyway, I thought it was just ok. Sometimes I think Ferrell tries too hard, and it shows.

I intend to see the Departed, which is a cops and gangsters film starring (among others) Jack Nicholson, Leo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Alec Baldwin. This film netted Martin Scorcese his long-overdue Oscar for Best Picture just a few weeks ago.

Also intend to see Man on Fire, which is an action flick with Denzel Washington. Heard some good things about it.

From what I understand, Hostel is a thriller/horror flick. I guess Quentin Tarantino had some connection with it, although not as director.

Don't know a thing about American Me.

[red]

Departed, Illusionist, Ron Burgundy, Man on Fire, Hostel, American Me for starters...
well lets see

departed is a crime movie by the master Martin Scorsese. its got Jack Nicholson, matt damon, leonardo dicaprio, marky mark, alec baldwin and martin sheen. a good twisting movie that just came out on dvd a month or so ago

the illusionist is a movie about an illusionist (magician) back around 1900 or so. it stars edward norton (fight club, rounder, american history x). its about a boy and girl that are separated when they were young, the girl goes on to get engaged to a count or duke. and the guy finds out about it. the guy and the duke begin to hate each other. illusions ensue. cool movie

ron burgundy is actually. anchorman, the legend of ron burgandy. which is a will ferrell movie about a news anchor team in the 70's and their fight to keep anchor women down. funny as hell

and i haven't seen the other three yet, but hostel is a horror movie

Zig i think youd really like the illusionist. Anchorman is a stupid funny type of movie. I thought it was amazing. The departed i saw on Saturday, i thought it was well done. Thought the ending was alil crazy but still prob one of the best ive seen, but hey im only 15

[Charles Woodson]

Anyone see Jackass 2?

[the_idle_threat]

Anyone see Jackass 2?

Yes. It was both appalling and outstanding.

[oregonpackfan]

I truly believe "The Departed" is a great movie. It has many turns and twists. It has also a remarkable collection of fine actors in just 1 film.

[Freak Out]

Kill Bill Vol. 2. The fight between Uma and Daryl is KICK ASS!

Yes and the guy they robbed in Oceans 11 is actually with them in this movie...helping them rob someone else. I can't remember his name but he was in the Godfather III.

[Brando19]

Anyone see Jackass 2?

Yeah...could you believe the part with the anacondas in the ball pit? Or when he put a leach on his eyeball?!? And the beginning when he puts a mouse puppet on his penis and sticks it in a cage with a snake!

LoL...some of those stunts were just hilarious but some of them made you think whether the world is a safe place with people like them in it. However, I believe some stunts were "rigged" such as the huge fishing hook Steve-O put in his cheak...I believe he had a previous piercing there because it didn't bleed...but those freakin sharks were real that were trying to eat him. :shock:

Citizen Kane

Horrible movie. It might have been groundbreaking, but it's friggin' sucks. It didn't stand the test of time. Casablanca, on the other hand, did.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Before Sunrise, Swingers, Heaven And Earth, Diner, The World According To Garp, To Kill A Mockingbird, Garden State, Twelve Monkeys, The Upside Of Anger, Wedding Crashers, The Notebook, City Of Joy, Untamed Heart, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind are all some of my underrated favorites.

Dont ask me anything about "American Me" you sorry ass putos. Just go rent it and make sure you DONT watch it with your kids. At the time it was released the movie resulted in a contract being put on Olmos' life. If Harvey and all you other gabachos dont watch it then you can all go to hell.

BTW- JackAss 2 is a great movie. Partial talks big talk like the Jackass gang but his weakling self wouldnt attempt any of the stuff they do.

[BallHawk]

I can't stand Jackass movies. It's pathetic. It's a bunch of high-school dropouts with nothing to do but physically torture each other with metal objects and dangerous animals. Seriously, it's a disgrace to film. It's absolute bullshit. I go to the movie theater to see acting, plot, direction, etc. I don't go to see a bunch of morons pull 5th grade pranks on each other.

Films of the past are so much better than the ones that are produced now.

[BallHawk]

Citizen Kane

Horrible movie. It might have been groundbreaking, but it's friggin' sucks. It didn't stand the test of time. Casablanca, on the other hand, did.

Casablanca is a truly great movie, yes, but Citizen Kane is not a "horrible movie." Orsen Welles direction in that movie laid so many building blocks for future movies in Citizen Kane. The movie revolutionized the film industry.

And another me for the list, "Dirty Harry."

"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? "

I thought the Illusionist sucked. Too slow paced, wasn't crazy about the "cinematogrophy" (odd color & lighting?)

Was kind've hoping Jessica Biel would make it worth watching..

[BallHawk]

Cool hand Luke!

Young Frankenstein



Great movies...

I thought I did, but I didn't. That movie is Mel Brooks' greatest comedy. Some of the comedy is very childish, while some of the comedy is much more mature. It's one of my favorite comedy's.

Young Frankenstien is also great! Gene Wilder is great (WI born, BTW)

I'm much closer to hawk's taste. Pirates ranks up there with Independence Day among the most overrated blockbusters of all-time. You don't like Casablanca, but you like Jackass. Sadly, I'm afraid a lot of youngsters might have this opinion.

[J-Rok]

I'm glad someone said it. Citizen Kane is ridiculously boring. My film teacher kept orgasming about all of the technical achievements, but that doesn't mean it was entertaining.

I really like Kurosawa movies. I love Seven Samurai as a whole, but the "fight scenes" lacked alot. I like Yojimbo more than that.

Casablanca is my favorite all time.

I'm really tempted to give my opinion on every movie named, but I think I'll just be here all night. Instead...

Fistful of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
(I'm a big fan of Clint Eastwood westerns)

Most movies with Cary Grant or Bogart.

Sling Blade...

I really like Kurosawa movies. I love Seven Samurai as a whole, but the "fight scenes" lacked alot. I like Yojimbo more than that..

J-Rok, have you ever watched "Ikiru"? It's not the usual action style that you would find in Seven Samurai or Hidden Fortress, but it's more deep and thought provoking. It's an excellent movie.

Also, "High and Low" is a great movie by AK. It's based off a John Wayne novel, but it's very good.

[BallHawk]

6-month bump

I saw Michael Clayton, which was really good.

Has anybody seen Rendition or Gone Baby Gone? Rendition looks cool, but it's gotten mixed reviews.

[MJZiggy]

I haven't. Seems like it's time to go see a movie. I wonder what's playing.

[oregonpackfan]

I just rented The Lives of Others. It won the International Film Award.

The movie is dubbed from German so if you don't mind reading subtitles it is an absolutely fantastic movie.

The setting is communist East Germany during the early 80's and the effort of the communist party to snoop on writers, artists, intellectuals who are considered a "Threat" to the state.

[Deputy Nutz]

Donnie Darko is quite possibly the coolest, most creative move I have seen in this current decade. It is such an insane concept, but it works so well.

Not to mention, Gary Jules' cover of "Mad World" (Originally by Tears for Fears) is really good.

Zool i believe in an interview with Kevin Smith the director of DD said he just wrote it without any real scientific knowledge of dimensions or time travel.

American Gangster was a bad ass flick.

So, tell me about some of these movies. There's a lot of them in this thread that I haven't seen...

John McClain is a bad ass. Dude shot a man through his own shoulders. And he beat up a woman. 10/10

Speaking of movies I just watch Ghost Rider, and like any Nicholas Cage movie, it sucked. Ruined a perfectly good comic.

[]{ilr]3]

I havent read threw this entire thead to see if this has already been discussed, but Super Bad is soo awesome.

Being a father several times I just had to shake my head, but then found myself laughing anyway. By the time it ended my gut hurt from laughing for so long. I then tried to tell my wife about it when she got home from work and I finally realized the title made sense now when I summed it up for her that it was just Super Bad! (yes, I am slow :P )

I can agree with that. Still, Leaving Las Vegas was a great movie.

I don't think we've had any Hitchcock's mentioned yet.

Vertigo (His best movie, IMO)
Psycho
Rear Window
North by Northwest (the ending sucked, though)
Rope

[BallHawk]

Some Like it Hot is a great comedy. It's up there with Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein for best comedy of all-time, IMO.

I havn't watched movies very often since I've been so busy but. . . .


Kingpin was hillarious way back when
Meet the Parents was hillarious "the second one sucked IMO"

I mostly like comedy. I'm sure I'm leaving some great ones off.

Stranger than Fiction is a wild movie.

[Harlan Huckleby]

the funniest movie ever is "The Inlaws" with Alan Arkin & Peter Falk.

[The Shadow]

Has anyone ever seen Ron Howard's "Night Shift", with Michael Keaton, Henry Winkler, and Shelley Long?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'd like to watch that one again, but my VHS player is out of order.

Just say "There Will Be Blood" on Sunday. Absolutely fantastic. Daniel Day-Lewis deserves Best Actor without a doubt.

I'm going to see Atonement and No Country for Old Men on Sunday. Anybody seen any of those?

I thought "No Country" was very good.

I've heard that some don't like the ending (including some in the theater I was at who were saying out loud "What ...?") but I thought it was very good.

Ok, not too happy with the choice for best picture.

No Country was a fantastic movie up until the last 10-15 minutes. Then the Coen brothers did a 360 and tried to go the symbolic route instead of continuing the cat and mouse route which had been working just fine for the last 2 hours.

There Will Be Blood was a complete movie that told a fantastic story that came full circle. No Country, while good, ended with a philosophical ending which, in a movie that spent so much time on suspense, disappointed me. I'm sure some people loved the ending, but I just disliked it.

Also kinda pissed that the Coen brothers got Best Adapted Screenplay. TWBB is loosely based off Upton Sinclair's "Oil!". A lot more work went into crafting that into a movie than it did to turn McCarthy's novel into a movie.

You are making the argument for NCFOM. Since it was a book you have to adapt it. TWBB is loosely as you said based on "Oil" thus it doesn't have much of an adaptation. More of an argument that it is an original screenplay. "oil" is more of an inspiration than even coming close a work that PT adapted.

The fact that he didn't even call it Oil! speaks volumes. To quote PT, "at the end of the day, there [was] not enough of the book to feel like it [was] a proper adaptation."

[the_idle_threat]

I'm interested in seeing "There Will Be Blood," but I have no problem with "No Country." The ending is what really made the movie for me.

Before that point, I thought it was just "A Simple Plan" with fewer interesting characters.

[LL2]

I really want to see TWBB.

3:10 to Yuma was a good movie too. I always love a good western. My fav is still Tombstone. I love Kurt Russell's line that goes something like "You called down the thunder, and I'm bringing hell with me!" after his brother was killed.

I watched it tonight and thought it was good.

It kind of sent a message.. unrealistic/over the top in her case...but it's true, after you've loved and lost someone you are a different person in some shape or form. There really is no going back to the exact same person you were before.

At the end I was like.........GO BACK FOR THE DOG!! :D

Anyone else see it?

Um, I watched CB4 yesterday.

That is a good movie. Why it wasn't nominated for an Oscar I don't know. :lol:

007,

I agree with your observation that if you lose a loved one to violence, you are never the same person. Foster's character plays that out well.

What is also a major theme is that using violence to seek revenge does not bring a satisfying peace of mind. Foster and/or the police detective kill the 3-4 people involved in the assault, but she is still haunted by the tragedy.

In the subway scene where she shoots two muggers(who weren't involved in the original assault) the Foster character is certainly justified in defending herself. At the same time, the finality of the shooting does not give her any satisfaction.

Overall, it was a very good movie, IMO. Jodie Foster remains one of my favorite actresses.

You could quickly read the book to make up your mind. I never read it, but I assume it is sort of like "My Side of the Mountain" a person goes to live in the wild. I think it would be pretty cool. I think if something really terrible happened to me or my life I might just turn to the hills and live out my life in a hand made cabin living off the land.

What the hell was the Bronson movie based on the same premise? His daughter is raped and killed and he goes vigilante big time. Good flick back in the day. I think I saw it about the time I saw Walking Tall and White Line Fever.

Show's my extent of knowledge on it :lol: I didn't know it was a book! I think it'd be a good experience to give up suburban life for a bit and go live on the fat of the land. Since I've been a kid I've always wanted to do that for awhile, especially after reading hatchet in elementary school and then Walden in high school.

I was watching an old documentary on PBS a year or so ago about a fellow that went up to Alaska and built a cabin with old hand tools starting in the warm summer months, finished the cabin in the fall, he lived at least a year. You have to be really careful doing something like that, especially in Alaska because of the severe weather. You don't want to fall through any ice, or get stuck in the snow I can tell you that much. A good compass will help as well. Anyways it was pretty amazing watching this guy work. Thats craftsmanship that barely exist anymore.

I read the book and saw the movie. It was a very interesting story about an idealistic young man trying to challenge himself about life's priorities, etc.

Though the movie was very good, I thought the book version was excellent.

Unfortunately, his fascination with the challenges of the Alaskan Wilderness proved to be his fatal undoing. Like Freak Out mentioned, many native Alaskans considered him a fool as the young guy simply was not prepared for the harshness of Alaskan winters. Bottom line: if you are not prepared to meet the severity of winter in Alaska, you are dead!

It is still worth reading and renting the DVD.

[Freak Out]

I've heard the movie was good...but that's what it was...a movie. I've actually hiked out to "the bus" and it's really not very difficult if you know what your doing. The river crossing can be a bitch if the waters high but if you know what your doing it's nothing people have not done many times before. He made some bad decisions and had some bad luck.

Nutz....the movie your probably referring to is "One mans wilderness", a story about Dick Proenneke and his cabin on Twin Lakes. I think he moved there in the early 60s and built his cabin and had lived there until his death in...2002 or 2003? (To lazy to look) That Alaska is still there in some respects....you just have to leave the SAT phone behind. :lol:

I've seen it many times and always enjoy it.
