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

      Brad Pitt is awesome, I love all of his films, one of my favourite actors. I also really like Nicholas Cage too.

      You know what I actually enjoyed Constantine, I know it got a lot of flack, but it was pretty great, had potential.

      He Never Died

      Sadly all of the trailers (besides the little preview above) have too many spoilers. Don't watch them before the movie.
      Very cool movie. The google summary: "A social outcast, battling depression and severe anti-social
      behaviour, embarks on a bloody quest to save his long-lost daughter from
      a crime syndicate."
      It's not just a revenge film, there's elements of supernatural horror too.
      I'm a big Henry Rollins fan, so this movie was a must see for me.


      Death Race 2050
      I love stupid over the top schlocky violent films. This fits the bill perfectly. :)
      It's a remake of the original Death Race 2000. Forget the Jason Statham Death Race films, this is how a Death Race should be.


      Of course now that I've mentioned races, I have to post the absolute greatest movie of all time...

      Deadpool 2 was awesome, I just got to see it recently when the Blu-ray came out.

      A few of my favourites that are less often mentioned are Children of Men (Alfonso Cauron’s prior film to Gravity, amazing movie) and District 9.

      Also Zoolander, I can rewatch that one endlessly.

      Zoolander has so many good scenes.

      It was a good movie, I only watched it when it came out - it is hard to hate anything Keanu does, except 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies... mind you I haven't watched the Matrix trilogy in like nearly 20 years. I wonder how well it holds up today. Both John Wick movies are favourites for me.

      The Shining

      I know Stephen King hates it, but I think as a standalone movie it is just so well done - it has such an atmosphere of dread throughout with so much imagery laced into each scene with the music accentuating the way the camera moves and the meticulous decoration of the Overlook. The performances are perfect for the story it is trying to tell - even if that story is not as all encompassing as the novel is, and works on the surface as much more of a standard horror story.

      I am a huge fan of Stephen King's book (well, he is my favourite author - I never tire of his books) - but his miniseries adaptation was so cheesy, actually so much of Stephen Kings movies are just terrible adaptations.

      The best faithful adaptations are the Frank Darabont movies (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and The Mist) of which only The Mist is a horror movie.

      I like when some liberties are taken with Stephen Kings books - The Shining may have gone too far for him, but the new It movie takes almost as much liberty and works much better for it.

      That said, when to much liberty is taken you get what is arguably the worst Stephen King movie, The Dark Tower which was such a let down - even the little nods to the universe throughout just made it harder to stomach. There is so much that they cut out of the story - and then this whole thing of it being canonical to the books, kind of like the final chapter... yeah I'll never accept that.

      /rant over LOL
