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

i did not like Fargo well, it's not really that i didn't like it, more so that I find it incredibly overrated and all the accents just annoyed me rather than make me laugh i think No Country for Old Men has to be my favorite

Martyrs [B]9[/B]/10 Fuck. This movie was really intense. I really lack the words to describe it. I really recommend it.

Watched The Godfather Part 1 (5/5) and 2 (5/5) both are amazing, but I think part 2 is better

Nightcrawler - Wow that felt really fresh on the genre of crime thriller. Managed to create suspense in a very unexpected and unique way.

Heaven Knows What 4/5 A strangely discomforting yet interesting movie about homeless heroin addicts in New York. I enjoyed the movie, but there were moments where I felt like wanting a shower afterwards. You can almost feel the grime on these people, but you really feel for them in a way. They live (by our standards) horrible lives, and they're hooked on drugs but it's the only life they've known.

[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;49141714]to be fair, having been to Nebraska, they really do talk like that[/QUOTE] that's weird, because Fargo takes place in North Dakota

[QUOTE=cheetahben;49144109]that's weird, because Fargo takes place in North Dakota[/QUOTE] Geographically, they do have one similarity: they're both fucking boring to drive through.

[B]Hitman: Agent 47[/B] wow.... that was the worst thing I've seen in a while... totally terrible movie, even the action sucked. The previous Hitman movie is an oscar-winning masterpiece in comparison.

Steve Jobs It was very well written and acted but damn was it exhausting, just non stop fast paced talk and arguments done mostly in metaphors and similes. I mean that's probably what they were going for given the subject but I found myself not enjoying the experience too much. That said it's definitely worth watching for the cinematography and performances alone.

Atlas Shrugged (all parts): 1/10 it's fucking magical go watch it and be amazed by how something like this [I]actually exists[/I]

As an Aaron Sorkin movie I preferred the Social Network, but I'd definitely recommend this as well if only for Fassy's great performance

First Blood - Really amazing what a different movie it is from the cultural icon Rambo has become now. How many action movies can you think of that end in the hero [sp]bawling his eyes out[/sp]? Lots of great commentary on war, militarization of police, and PTSD.

Lots of long takes and great camerawork.

[QUOTE=cheetahben;49144109]that's weird, because Fargo takes place in North Dakota[/QUOTE] Geography isn't my strong suit, I went through the 3 states (Nebraska, South and North Dakota on the same trip). They talk similarly in South Dakota too.

first blood is a dope film and you could be forgiven for not watching it if your only exposure to rambo was the bizarrely divergent sequels

Goon - Such a crude and violent movie, but that's part of the charm. Really a fun hockey movie.

Oldboy. The original, not the shitty remake. Such a good movie in a really fucked up kind of way.

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil - People were right about going into that blind. Really was a great take on the horror genre.

[QUOTE=matt000024;49150891]Tucker & Dale vs. Evil - People were right about going into that blind. Really was a great take on the horror genre.[/QUOTE] God I want more Tucker & Dale.

Clerks - Really was surprised how much I enjoyed this. In some ways it all felt like a vulgar Peanuts cartoon. Amazing that Smith shot this on such a low budget and although it shows heavily, still holds up as a solid film.

The last movie I watched was around four or five months ago, so I hope when I say I watched Pulp Fiction for the first time today, it doesn't come as too much of a shock. Now I've seen some other movies from this, director, is it? Kill Bill 1 and 2. Very good films, I enjoyed them immensely. As for Pulp Fiction, it may already be one of the greatest films I've ever seen, and I am not easily swayed by flights of fancy. I just finished watching it an hour or two ago, and damn if it doesn't stick with you in all the ways a movie should. It felt jarring, yet seamless. It felt vulgar, but oddly sophisticated. It seemed escalating and thoughtful, but almost comically blunt at times. I was totally enraptured by it from beginning to end. I wasn't thinking about anything other than the movie when I was watching it, and that's how I judge a good movie. I say numbers-wise anything lower than a 10 is a crime.

hunger games 4: mockingjay 2 it was very mediocre and the guy sitting next to me was constantly making stupid comments at the volume level a three year old would have known was inappropriate so i had a pretty bad time 0/10

[QUOTE=TheKritter71;49154890]how expected[/QUOTE] It wasn't terrible or anything, there were some legitimately good moments in there (two to be exact) but yeah it was mediocre. It could have broken free of teen novel clichés, especially considering how tired most people are of them, but it stayed true to them through and through.

To be fair there's a scene in there that was actually pretty grim. It's a PG-13 movie so obviously they're not gonna show people being blown to smithereens but they did a decent job of conveying a horrible event.

Casablanca 4/5 Hadn't seen it before, figured it was about time. Good acting, good story, some decent humor, and all around enjoyable, but I wouldn't say it was the best film I've ever seen. [editline]21st November 2015[/editline] Also, not enough Peter Lorre or Sydney Greenstreet. Great character actors.

Oldboy (2003) - Holy shit is really all I have to say. Film was very disturbing, but at the same time very thrilling and well made. The shocks felt purposeful opposed to being there just for shock value.

[B]Django[/B] - 8/10 First time seeing a spaghetti western, and the first time watching a movie in Italian. The pacing and plot took a bit to get used to, but by the end I really dug it. I don't watch a lot of older movies (I don't see a lot of seventies movies, and sixties and earlier I rarely watch) so some of the production and quality was initially hard to get used to. Fortunately I like slow-burn movies with quiet, mysterious protagonists that are punctuated with violence. A pretty heavy movie, all things considered. I'll probably watch more westerns but I'll probably stick to more relatively contemporary and/or English fare. Apart from the Dollars trilogy, of course, I still need to see those. Also: one of the all-time great movie theme songs: [video=youtube;4_OiUURbYlQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_OiUURbYlQ[/video]
