Lord_Haw-Haw Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Enchanted April ...I love that one too. I want to be there sitting in a lawn chair next to Polly Walker Well I love that movie on grey rainy days, it just takes you away. I know the area that was filmed at in Italy. It is really beautiful
II./JG27_Rich Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Yes Edited November 3, 2013 by II./JG27Richie
=LD=Hethwill Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Memento Blade Runner Leon, the professional Immortal Beloved Silverado Young Guns ( both ! ) and about 234 more others.
HeavyCavalrySgt Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Gattica and A Beautiful Mind are two of my favorites.
FlatSpinMan Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Gattica and A Beautiful Mind are two of my favorites. Snap. Gattaca is one of the more stylish movies going, plus it has some really important and interesting ideas. The same director, Andrew Niccol (a fellow NZer), has really interesting ideas, even if they don't always come off on screen. You know each movie will be something different. I really liked his "Truman Show". "SimOne" was interesting but not so great.
Corto Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 - Blade Runner (seen over the last 30 years at least 20 times in the cinema and countless times on video and DVD) The film was one reason for me to study architecture... - Matrix (only the first part) - Alien (only the first part)
Rjel Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Good list there II./JG27Richie. Several of my favorites there. My list The Best Years of Our Lives The Natural The High and the Mighty O Brother Where Art Thou The Sting Casablanca (set in WWII but not really a war film) Any Bogart film is worth watching. North by Northwest Rear Window On The Town Robin Hood w/Errol Flynn The Great Waldo Pepper Any western w/ John Wayne/John Ford, Jimmy Stewart, Glenn Ford or Randolph Scott Late 1940s/50s B/W Film Noir
II./JG27_Rich Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) North by Northwest Rear Window Great movies! I have both of them. Not really a Psycho or The Birds fan but Hitchcock is great. Dial M For Murder, Strangers On A Train, The Rope. Forgot about Howard Hawks's Bringing Up Baby and The Philadelphia Story Edited November 4, 2013 by II./JG27Richie
Bearcat Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I'm a movie nut so there are hundreds .. but just to name a few.. The Godfather I & II The Bourne series The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo series (Swedish version .. the English version was ok to me... but the entire Swedish seruies was great..) Silverado The Matrix series Avatar Dances With Wolves The Aviator The Alien series High Noon The Unforgiven Blade Runner The Day The Earth Stood Still Casablanca The Maltese Falcon O Brother Where arth Thou Raising Arizona Leather Heads Gladiator A Beautiful Mind Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Pan's Labyrinth Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and.... Monsters INC Finding Nemo The Impossibles The Iron Giant Toy Story Justto name a few .. but there are so many...
FlatSpinMan Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 There is only one Matrix movie. Remember that. Really keen to see North by Northwest. It keeps popping up in film articles and lists. Since having kids, my movie watching has dropped a ton, but I'll try to list some I've enjoyed for various reasons. I'm not a particularly fussy filmgoer. If it entertains me and sucks me in, it doesn't need to be technically amazing, or have any great depth. I am superficial to the bone. Captain America - I was surprised how much I liked this movie. A really good adaptation of a comic book. The writing and acting made him a very sympathetic hero. Plus the action scenes were just a lot of fun - flying wings! Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - P40, Angelina Jolie in a tight-fitting uniform with a British accent on a retro flying aircraft carrier. Maximum awesomeness has been achieved. Pulp Fiction - the soundtrack and backdrop for my university days. Great dialogue, cool soundtrack. Invincible, Remember the Titans - dunno why but American football movies always really appeal to me. I even liked 'Any given Sunday'. The highly tactical but stop-start nature of the game drives me nuts when I watch it but lends itself well to movie making, I think. About a boy High fidelity Fever pitch (both US and UK adaptations) - I like Nick Hornsby, and his books play well as movies. I'm really hoping 'Juliet Naked' gets made. It'd work really well. Also, and don't tell anyone I said this, I like Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore in these kinds of movies. Phew - big revelation! But its out there now. The Incredibles - fantastic fun, and my six year old is angry that she can't be a superhero. Told me today that she can actually make small force fields, but she just want to right now. Shrek 1, even 2. I was amazed how good the first one was after years of avoiding it. Excellent dialogue, character development, mind blowing CG at the time, and so much fun. Batman with Jack Nicholson Batman with Heath Ledger Spiderman 1&2 (Toby Maguire series) There's lots more. I'll try and think of some that'll give me a bit more 'cred', after blowing Mine with the revelation that I like romantic comedies.
SOLIDKREATE Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) TRON Legacy Star Trek Into Darkness Spaceballs Blazing Saddles Machete Death Proof From Dusk til Dawn Goonies The Last Starfighter Ghost Busters I, II Battle Los Angeles Aliens I, II, III, IV The Matrix I, II, III Bram Stokers Dracula The Devils Rejects just to name a few. Yes I know a couple are combat related but not WW2 =o) Edited November 5, 2013 by Erg./JG54_SPEKTRE
JtD Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Because it hasn't been mentioned yet, my favourite Sci-Fi movie: Serenity 2
SOLIDKREATE Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Because it hasn't been mentioned yet, my favourite Sci-Fi movie: Serenity OH YES SIR! Summer Glau is a babe!
II./JG27_Rich Posted November 10, 2013 Author Posted November 10, 2013 Maybe my favorite movie ..period. What the hell is this guy up to? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5ACFq_lrRw
Sim Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Yeah, quite powerful. And I heard that scene was improvised by the actor himself, not sure if it's true though
DD_fruitbat Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Because it hasn't been mentioned yet, my favourite Sci-Fi movie:Serenity Sheldon Cooper was right, Firerfly should never have been cancelled... At least we got Serenity out of it, great sci fy film.
Trident_109 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Sheldon Cooper was right, Firerfly should never have been cancelled... At least we got Serenity out of it, great sci fy film. It's hard to see the TV show, Castle, and not think of Malcolm. Oh what should have been. Sigh.
II./JG27_Rich Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 The boss's girlfriend said "Hmmmm I don't get it" after watching Blade Runner. I don't have it in my favorites but I agree it's an awesome movie and has a lot of messages in it.
Rjel Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) I have to add one to my list. It is a guilty pleasure. Not great SciFi but a pretty cool little film with one of the greatest lines ever uttered by the movie hero. That movie is John Carpenter's They Live starring professional wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper (sans kilt obviously) as character George Nada - Edited November 12, 2013 by Rjel
Foobar Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Life Of Brian Four Lions Avatar Toy Story AntZ Papa Ante Portas
