Just watched Martin Scorsese's Casino, the movie is 4th movie to use the word fuck so much
I liked it and gave it a 9/10
It's Kind of A Funny Story 9/10
Probably one of the best movies I have seen in a while. It is a great movie with a great cast with as fitting soundtrack to boot. Must watch if you get the chance.

If you mean movies that were made black & white due to budget/technological constraints instead of the director making an artistic choice, some of my favorites are:
The Wages of Fear
Paths of Glory
Pretty much any Charlie Chaplin movie (The Great Dictator is good, or Modern Times if you're up for a silent movie)
Night of the Hunter
Mr. Deeds Goes to Town
On the Waterfront
Saw a bit of Attack The Block.
10/10 Thanks to:

I don't really care if you can enjoy it like a modern movie because you need to understand first what it was like to see these things back then.
I'd definitely watch the Charlie Chaplin movies, start with City Lights and Modern Times. Slapstick humour was definitely a big thing and it's kind of been destroyed by crap in our time.

As good as Chaplin is in it, The Dictator is nowhere near his best movie..
And you don't have to be "up for watching a silent movie". You just watch it if you haven't seen one before. He's only seen Casablanca numbnuts.

Hitchcock's 'the 39 steps' its one of my favourite films.

evil dead 2 is the best in the series and its a 10/10 (this is a fact pls dont disagree)
[editline]12th July 2012[/editline]
why does this section's icon look like a microwave
Apollo 18 1/10
My dad asked me if it was a good film to watch, I told him it was shit and we both decided that we should watch it anyway, hoping for some shits and giggles. There wasn't any. The film was boring and pretty much fuckall happens. It wouldn't even be scary if I was tripping balls on DPH while watching it. It was only an hour and a half long and even then it seemed to be stretched out way too much. It gets a one because it was in space, which makes shit movies slightly less shitty.
Evil Dead I is 9.5/10 Evil Dead II is 10/10 they are genuinely two of the single greatest horror movies ever made and two of the best films ever in general this is actually a 100% legitimate unarguable fact and if you disagree you are wrong sorry
Evil Dead II is basically a perfect movie. No other movie has combined horror and comedy in a way like that before. People always bring up Shaun of The Dead in this argument but fuck no. Shaun of the Dead is just a comedy that happens to have zombies in it. Evil Dead II is a legitimate horror but also hilarious. The only true horror-comedy, at least the only one that actually works both as a horror and comedy.
Army of Darkness is easily the weakest but its still pretty good. I don't compare it to the other two personally since it's so different. i actually hate when people say 3 is the best, I feel it says a lot about that person (or their view of cinema at least. As in they have a shit one (not cos its a shit film, but just because of the type of film it is compared to the first 2 and liking army of darkness over them is horrible and you probably don't actually like cinema you just like watching mindless films that arent very good but you love them because theres lots of action eg transformers. Im aware AoD isn't really like that but still). Had like an Evil Dead marathon at my friends one time and someone said 3 was the best and the first 2 werent that good I was just like REASSESS YOUR LIFE he likes transformers and thinks Taken is a 10/10 im just like fuck you hes trying to get into film college as well genuinely think hes just copying me and my friend because we are much cooler than he is
They really really need to make an Evil Dead IV it would be amazing, Ash def still has some deadite slaying capabilities in him!! Me and my friend have worked out this whole plot... (although theres a comic that happens in an S-Mart which was basically the idea, but that happens in the one he works in+it's more like Army of Darkness than I want it to be, plus mine is an S-mart built over the cabin and the hand goes and plays the tape in the cellar (to justify an S-mart in the middle of a forest there is a highway built ok and ash is transferred to work there then its some Deadite slayin time!!)
I'm both looking forward to and worried for this Evil Dead remake. There's no Ash in it which is terrible but at the same time Bruce Campbell's producing so it's not like he's going to let this new director person ruin it, and Bruce Campbell's probably going to have a role but it probably wont be a big one :(
Sam and bruce have been working on a fourth film's script but super slowly so it probably won't actually take form
^ all of what this guy said
if old snake can still kick ass then old ash can too. i want an evil dead 4 not a remake
ok ok 6.5 is way too low, its a brilliant comedy horror but it just takes me some time to actually see it.
at first i didnt even know that the acting was hilariously bad on purpose etc
[editline]12th july 2012[/editline]
OK 8.5 evil dead 1 and a 9.5 evil dead 2
its just hard for me too see what the director was thinking to achieve when making the movies, you know
Sex and the City 2 - 9.4/10
Ok but in all seriousness, the first movie is essentially porn for women (The amount of sex and nudity jesus) and I would give it a 2/10 and 3 of those points come from the sexy guy in the film ;))))). The second one is just "why did this film get made". It's pretty much the same as the first film but in Dubai. Pretty sure it was only filmed there to give everyone a holiday. 1/10

Watch some Charlie Chaplin feuture films like The Great Dictator, City Lights and Modern Times.
Many great Hitchcock films are also B&W, my favorites Rebecca, Spellbound, The Lady Vanishes, Shadow of a Doubt and Suspicion.
Other great b&whites that I recommend: The Third Man, Citizen Kane, 12 Angry Men, The LadyKillers, Kind Hearts and Coronets.
They are all great and enjoyable movies, unless you are a dumb autistic excrement of society.
[QUOTE=KlaseR;36736026]12 Angry Men.[/QUOTE]
That movie is forever relevant to people.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;36741172]The Evil Dead- 9/10

Evil Dead II is the perfect summer movie to watch with friends if you're going camping or something.[/QUOTE]
I could watch Evil Dead II anytime.
Also Rusty, I have a friend who's never seen 1 or 2 but has seen Army of Darkness. Shall I smite him in your name?

I don't rank The Great Dictator very high in the Chaplin library myself, I'm just thinking it might be too jarring for someone who has only seen one black and white movie to immediately jump into the silent era.
I say this because I'm friends with a lot of people who have bad movie opinions and it's hard enough to get them to consider watching a movie made before the 90s, moreso with black & white movies, and even further with silent movies.
And then their reaction will generally be "well that was interesting to see I guess but it really made me appreciate how good movies are now"
I wish I could enjoy Horror films. Whenever you guys talk about the good ones I look at trailers or attempt to watch and have never been able to 'suspend my disbelief' and enjoy the movie.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;36745320]Watch Evil Dead II and come back to us on that one.[/QUOTE]
That's one of the movies I try to watch but just cant. I'll try to get through it but it is hard for me to finish the trailer.
Chernobyl diaries - 6/10
[QUOTE=bionic0n3;36745516]That's one of the movies I try to watch but just cant. I'll try to get through it but it is hard for me to finish the trailer.[/QUOTE]
the trailers for the Evil Dead films are cheesy 80's stuff and don't do them justice at all imo, I didn't watch the trailers until after I saw the films and tbh they sell them short. but it's probably just cos they were made in the 80's and on a low budget. The films themselves are genuinely masterpieces.
Re-Watched The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: 9.8/10
Watched this on an airplane because there was nothing else good or interesting to see. Still one of my favorite movies, barely any flaws with the film. The ending still keeps me in suspense after the 800th time watching it, which is a great trait for the ending of any film.
God Bless America 10/10
NOTHING is more truer than this movie, it doesn't even have ANY of the usual movie clichés and everything about this movie is just perfect for me.
