Movie thread Part III

I rented Funny Games
Thumbs down :down:

I thought it was okay until…

SPOILER - Click to view

Peter died, and then Paul went and rewound the movie!

I was like WTF? you can’t do that in a movie!

I watched Iron Man for the first time last night. It was awesome!!

Yeah, I want to see the Incredible Hulk
I’m not sure how that will be compared to Iron Man

Today I rented two movies
The Mist- Okay movie. I liked it. I just thought the ending was too sad. But, I guess not every movie can be happy…

Jumper- I NEED TO TELEPORT IN MY NEXT LD!The movie went by too fast. I think it would of beenMORE gooder as a TV show. How many hours are there in a television series? And how many in a movie?

I don’t know how to explain why it would of done better as a television show.
I guess it’s because there would of been more mystery and more time for action.
It looked like the movie tried to put some mystery in, but it didn’t work out very well…

lol. I feel like a film critic :tongue:

and I’m still new here so hello to all!

What is/are some of your favourite films?
I must say, I have a top seventeen of favourite films, all of which are the only films I’ve rated a 10/10.
They are (in order):
one. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (michel gondry, 2004)
two. the truman show (peter weir, 1998)
three. punch-drunk love (paul thomas anderson, 2002)
four. taxi driver (martin scorsese, 1976)
five. la vita è bella (roberto benigni, 1997)
six. requiem for a dream (darren aronofsky, 2000)
seven. one flew over the cuckoo’s nest (milos forman, 1975)
eight. 2001: a space odyssey (stanley kubrick, 1968)
nine. groundhog day (harold ramis, 1993)
ten. barry lyndon (stanley kubrick, 1975)
eleven. a clockwork orange (stanley kubrick, 1971)
twelve. psycho (alfred hitchcock, 1960)
thirteen. ferris bueller’s day off (john hughes, 1984)
fourteen. dog day afternoon (sidney lumet, 1975)
fifteen. rear window (alfred hitchcock, 1954)
sixteen. westworld (michael crichton, 1973)
seventeen. child’s play (tom holland, 1988)

I re-watched Requiem For A Dream yesterday and it didn’t seem as good, but, it’s still very good. It’s emotional impact is astounding.

As you may gather, I’m a hopeless romantic (and too young to be one at that) so yeah…

Welcome to Ld4all Major Tom! :happy:
Quite a list there, the only movie out of that list I’ve seen is number 7, which was quite a good movie (though as usual the book was better.)

I haven’t seen the Iron man, but I have seen the Incredible Hulk.Pretty good movie, better than the last Hulk movie, has some nice action in it, better plot than the other story as well.

on IMDB, Ironman got better ratings than The Incredible Hulk.

Thankyou viddy much!
You’ve not seen any of the others?! You should, they’re all good.
I’ve never read the book for Cuckoo’s Nest, I want to, but I’ve never had the patience to search around for it, meh.
I read that it’s told from Chiefs point-of-view, which seems weird.
I love it though, Jack’s performance was amazing and the cast was just, wow. Look at them all, all young and fresh!

Major Tom, I have seen and enjoyed :content: the following films from your list

  1. the truman show
  2. 2001: a space odyssey
  3. groundhog day
  4. ferris bueller’s day off
  5. rear window (I believe there was a recent remake too?)
  6. westworld

My two favourites were West World and Groundhog Day

some other films I liked are…
The Others
Beetlejuice
Rocky Horror Picture Show
eXistenZ (really brilliant!)

(I think I will return to this post and edit more in … I don’t want to forget any :content: )

I must say, I’ve not seen any of the ones you’ve listed. I’ve read about eXistenZ and it sounds like an interesting concept, and David Cronenburg is highly respected in the world of film.

some of my favorite movies:

bobby
a clockwork orange
i’m not there
full metal jacket
