Question

The Official Films Thread

Well bollocks, we've got a telly thread so I thought I'd create one for films too.

I'm currently working my way through Movies With A Twist Collection 3 which I downloaded years ago from TPB. All of those torrents are now dead which is a shame because I didn't get around to downloading Collection 4. I'm downloading all of those separately which is a hassle but will be worth it in the end going by 1-3 so far.

Am in the middle of watching Law Abiding Citizen, I think I've seen it before but i was so long ago I've forgotten what happens.

The problem with watching these films knowing that there's a twist makes it easy to work out what the twist in question is so probably better if you watch them without that knowledge lol

Here's a list of some of my all-time favourite films of all-time in no particular order:

Brazil
The Life Of Brian
The Holy Grail
The Meaning Of Life
Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
Lifeforce (a terrible film but the female lead vampire spends most of it naked lol)
All Lethal Weapons
All Die Hards
Every Dirty Harry Film
The Jungle Book (the Disney original)
Pi
Falling Down (just for the McDonalds scene lmfao)
Silent Running
Logan's Run
All 60s-70s Planet Of The Apes
Soylent Green

Am going to stop there otherwise this post is going to be HUGE lol

Just seen Shazam (3D version). Fun film not too serious. A bit slow to begin but entertaining all the same. Good family film.

It's on my list when the disc is released - trailer looks great for the kids:

I just watched "The House That Jack Built". Quite a disturbing movie tbh. I'd rate it 7/10 for doing something different. Made "Silence of The Lambs" look like a comedy to me.

I fear I'm first starting to understand your message now :# Saw 48 min of this disturbing movie yesterday and I'm not sure it's good for me :D

I feel that Trier is trying to show the audience how truly horrible it is when a serial killer murders another human being. Things you don't see in all the (Netflix) TV shows that more or less seem to fuel some kind of awkward fascination for serial killers. In "The House Jack Built" the violence is really in-your-face. The movie has a lot of humor - but I think it's just there to make people watch a movie that few otherwise would be able to watch.

The House Jack Built feels much like this kind of movie:

I'm saddened that we're almost at the point where, when children ask what a Bumblebee is.. their first response will be "He's a Transformer!", instead of "It's an insect that pollinates flowers".

Finished watching The House That Jack Built yesterday, it was even more horrible than Henry - it's really hard to recommend the movie even if you normally like to watch movies about serial killers. The movie is about art - sort of - but you can find many other films about art that don't leave you with images you may wish never to have seen.

There're probably few movies more disturbing than The House Jack That Built, but even though I'm able to watch this movie (the hard to find uncensored version) which has been banned in many countries, I still haven't gotten around to see it, because I don't think I need that experience B)

@RuneSR2 - I did warn you it was a quite disturbing and made "The Silence of the Lambs" look like a comedy in comparison :p

The movie had me wincing and I couldn't tell you the last move I watched that did this. I think a film called "Wolf Creek" and also one called "Hostel" had me wincing in parts to for different reasons.

Wolf Creek was awesome - did see Hostel too. But none of them worked like The House That Jack Built - I wonder how many left the cinema thinking "there's no way I'm gonna watch that" :D

On some level The House That Jack Built is a masterpiece, it's definitely not an ordinary horror movie.

And just saw this :D

The Conjuring wasn't bad too - but one film that somehow did get to me was Mirrors - maybe because we do have a lot of mirrors, and while the movie wasn't that scary to watch, it did get to me while brushing my teeth - late at night - alone in the dark - in front of a mirror :#

I've always loved Nicholas Cage, one of my favourite actors. But he's been in some REALLY shite films these last few years because he's dead skint.

I received the bluray 2K restoration of Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker in the mail today (had to order from england, luckily my bluray player is region free).

This should be interesting. The first (and only) time I watched it years ago, I was very disappointed. I was hoping for something like the Stalker games, but it was closer to the book (which I also liked, but not as much as the games). But now I understand it, I think I can go into it in a different frame of mind. Looking back on what I remember, I think I can appreciate it more this time, knowing not to expect roaming mutants, gunfights with the military, horror, etc.

Kind of like the first time I watched Crank High Voltage (hadn't seen the first one). I stopped watching after half an hour, it was one of the worst things I'd ever seen. But later I remembered the Feast horror trilogy. They are cheap, stupid and over the top at trying to be offensive, but then you find out many of the cast/crew are related and they were just having so much fun making stupid horror. So I rewatched Crank High Voltage with "everybody just having fun rather than trying to make a quality movie" as my frame of mind, and I loved it.

If you haven't seen Feast 1-3, give them a chance. :) The first one was cool (winner of the Project Greenlight contest), the next two were "well, we have some money left over, lets just go crazy".

The running guy is the brother of the director, the baby he's carrying is his real life kid. One of the women on the roof (black haired biker who calls him a piece of shit) is his real wife (and mother of the baby) and the old guy on the roof is his (and director's) real father.

I'm looking forward to seeing Shazam, the trailer just looks damn fun. I'm really not much of a super hero movie fan, I'm not on the edge of my seat waiting for End Game. I watch most of them when they come on Foxtel (australian cable tv, crappy SD quality) or later on Netflix. The only ones I ever bought on DVD were Iron Man 1, Batman Begins and Guardians Of The Galaxy. I still haven't even seen Winter Soldier or Black Panther.

I never liked torture porn style films like Hostel. I do like very graphic and violent movies, when they are over the top crazy and fast. The head exploding in Scanners, the guy pulled apart by chains in Hellraiser, any movie that has creative ways to cut a person in half (like Johnny Mnemonic's diagonal cut and slide), but I don't like prolonged suffering.
