Rate The Last Movie You Watched - This Thread Took 12 Years To Make Edition - General

[QUOTE=cardfan212;48845692]For me, movies from 1900 to like 1935 are generally pretty watchable, but nearly anything from a Hollywood studio between 1936 and 1960 is just no good for me. Yes, even stuff like Casablanca and Gone With The Wind. I just don't like it, and I don't know why.[/QUOTE] [img]http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTU0MTA2OTIwNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzA0Njk3OA@@._V1_SY317_CR10,0,214,317_AL_.jpg[/img] this is a masterpiece though

Also: [I]Singin' in the Rain[/I] (1952) is fantastic. The oldest movie I've seen is [I]The Thin Man[/I] (1934) (Gertie the Dinosaur (1914) is animated so I don't count it) and it was pretty good. The other movies from the 40s and 50s that I've watched were pretty forgettable though.

[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;48846275]Yeah, I like some early stuff (Fleischer Superman) and I admire the creativity of the animation and visuals but overall it's off-putting. I think part of it is that a lot of it was rotoscoped and that adds to the uncanny feeling, and there's something about how they sound (audio quality? voice acting? score? I can't pinpoint it) that feels wrong. Plus the subject matter often gets pretty weird or trippy. Older claymation gives me the same feeling. I like stuff like Wallace & Gromit, but older stop-motion like Gumby I just find really unsettling.[/QUOTE] This one freaked me out a bit as a kid.

Especially all the neat little monster movies made out of fear of nuclear war.

Polytechnique - 7/10 Pretty good Villeneuve movie about the Montreal Massacre, go watch if you're interested in a realistic school shooting. It's only 77 minutes too, which I think is the perfect length for something like this

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;48846713]You're missing a ton of classics. Especially all the neat little monster movies made out of fear of nuclear war.[/QUOTE] Well I love monster movies and just horror movies in general. I can even get behind some of the film noir stuff. But I don't really care much for the drama stuff or the John Wayne westerns of the era. And honestly, I've never seen Citizen Kane or any Hitchcock anything. I should change that sometime. To me anyway, the golden age of cinema was the 70s and 80s. Pretty much all my favorite movies came from around then. [editline]6th October 2015[/editline] I can always get behind Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Der Golem, Faust, Nosferatu, all of those German expressionist films of the 1920s. Those are really cool.

yeah you got some 'sploring to do alright especially with hitchcock i recommend you start off with the birds, psycho and north by northwest.

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/yBZDo4j.jpg[/img_thumb] 9/10, after all these years, it holds up surprisingly well. Also, I can't help but think that San Angeles looks literally like a SJW utopia, and Edgar Friendly is a shitlord who Cocteau wants to get rid of. :v: [quote][i]You see, according to Cocteau's plan... I'm the enemy. Because I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, the freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy who likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of BBQ ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener." You live up top, you live Cocteau's way: what he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here... and maybe starve to death.[/i][/quote] Bonus: Siskel & Ebert review [hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrLrOzB0n4Y[/hd] [editline]7th October 2015[/editline] Also, Wesley Snipes as Simon Phoenix has got to be one of my all-time favorite movie villains, so over-the-top and funny overall. But Dr. Cocteau is apparently even more evil, to the point even Simon himself thinks he's wrong. [quote][i]You can't take away people's right to be assholes! That's who you remind me of... an evil Mr Rogers.[/i][/quote]

Hey, here's yet another post about The Martian! Yay! I enjoyed it, and I'd say it's up there on my list of good space movies. However, I can already tell that it's one of those movies that I don't ever really need to see a 2nd time. The biggest offender in that category is Cast Away, and this obviously shares a lot of similarities with that movie. They're good, but if you know how it's all going to play out, and the journey is a little on the long and boring side, they don't hold up to multiple viewings.

[B]The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water[/B] - 6.5/10 Not as great as the first one - this plot's pretty standard - but it was a dumb fun time. Most of the movie is actually traditionally-animated underwater and is full of the great little jokes and sight gags SpongeBob is known for. Matt Berry and the [sp]epic rap battle[/sp] were a fun surprise.

This is the end 9/10

[QUOTE=DChapsfield;48847031]Let's share our personal lists of films we feel bad about not having seen yet: 1. The Departed 2. The Departed 3. The Departed[/QUOTE] I still haven't seen anything by Ingmar Bergman because I'm way too intimidated, he's one of those Great Directors that if you don't like you have bad taste in film or something (also The Departed is just OK, watch Infernal Affairs instead it's way better) [QUOTE=The_J_Hat;48847037]Eraserhead Mulholland Dr. Inland Empire[/QUOTE] Gotta get on that sooner than later. David Lynch is one of my favorite directors, and Mulholland Drive is the film that got me into movies in the first place. I'm pretty sure it'll always be a 10/10 in my book

Macbeth (2015) I haven't read the play or any of Shakespeare's work in a long time so I was expecting to be a little lost during this movie but I surprised myself by following it quite well. I think it's in part due to the fantastic cinematography that not only looks beautiful but does a great job at visual storytelling too. There were times when a character is giving a five minute long monologue barely pausing for breath where my eyes glazed over but the basic story isn't hard to grasp. Even if you aren't an english major you can follow the movie just fine and enjoy the fantastic performances and visuals.

[B]The Drop[/B] (Michaël R. Roskam, 2014) 8.5/10 A nice film with an original take on the crime genre. The ending twist was deliciously unpredictable and changes your perception of the whole film. Great actors, nice soundtrack, good photography, very atmospheric. Thanks Facepunch for recommending that film to me.

pans labyrinth 9.5/10 fantastic movie, one of my favorite foreign films (Spirited Away/Howls Moving Castle/Princess Mononoke), my favorite fairy tale movie ever created. If you haven't seen this movie, go watch it. I've seen it 10+ times and every time it's just as great as the last.

The Iron Giant Signature Edition in theaters last weekend. 10 outta 10.

that reminds me, i kinda regret never seeing the iron giant as a kid. i always stopped halfway through for some reason feels pointless to see it now since everything's been spoiled

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;48851800]Holy shit man, what are you waiting for? Your life hasn't even begun yet with most of those movies unseen[/QUOTE] I didn't see what was so great about Platoon. It was good don't get me wrong, but I don't think it was academy award winning good, but that's just me. You def gotta watch Citizen Kane and the Dollars Trilogy though, and I need to watch Lawrence of Arabia.

You should definitely watch it all the way through even if you know how it ends though. I had the ending of Schindler's List spoiled and I still watched it.
