[QUOTE=Konigstiger96;41984984]Most big city movies i.e Se7en and Dirty Harry can make for an interesting analysis of society[/QUOTE] Se7en: why we should all get the fuck out of New York as fast as we can.

[QUOTE=The Jack;41932274]Can anyone suggest a comedy full of dry or dark humour? Or maybe something a little wilder like Django unchained. So long as it's funny and witty without being one of those awful american family things for illiterate children who can't laugh without revealing stupidity. [I]Edit: watched pulp fiction[/I][/QUOTE] Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

I need 2 movies, perhaps a good zombie movie and a another good movie without to much action that is really engaging. I've seen most popular zombie movies like Dawn of the Dead, Land of the Dead, the Horde and Shaun of the Dead, so perhaps there is another movie that's still quite decent.

Zombieland? 28 Days or Weeks Later?

[QUOTE=Hattiwatti;41972580]So I'm supposed to watch a movie on our philosophy course and analyze it. Only requirement is, that it has to be about society or have themes regarding society (Since it's social philosophy). Any ideas?[/QUOTE] Following by Nolan

28 weeks later is shit. 28 Days later is realy good.

So I just watched sexy beast and seen layer cake a billion times. Im looking for more of those new wavish 'ard boiled brit crime dramas Thing is I love guy ritchie but his movies dont take themselves seriously. Theres always something at least slightly whimsical every other seen. Even rock n rolla which was probably the most mature of the three. I like ritchies whackiness but it sort of makes everything steer a little too far from a slick fast paced thriller. Im asking for more of that new wave slick brit crime drama. But it has to take itself seriously as much as layer cake and sexy beast does (strangely there are whimsical scenes in these movies but they arent so surreal and or out of place [editline]29th August 2013[/editline] And actual hard boiled cockney thug feed em to th' pigs 'enry kinda stuff. I dont want trainspotting I want movies about organized crime

In the mood for something funny, something like Monty Python but not (Seen them all)

i dunno. maybe the naked gun or airplane movies?

Shaun of the Dead Hot Fuzz The World's End (you can probably catch it in theaters) Hot Shots

Is the Defiance series any good? I saw it in a store and I wouldn't mind watching a good sci-fi series.

I want to watch a good Alfred Hitchcock movie I haven't seen and none of the ones I see from the posters/discription aren't don't sound that interesting. I've seen Vertigo,Psycho,Man who knew too much,Strangers on a train,North by Northwest,Rear Window,Rope,Topaz,Dial M for Murder,The birds.

From what I can tell you should probably move onto his television shows. If you've seen all those and you've looked at the rest of them and they don't seem interesting your movie pool in that regard may be used up. A better question to ask would be which movies you didn't see, or inquire into the ones you looked at but weren't interested in [editline]4th September 2013[/editline] Ugh I have a feeling though that there is one title that is a must see that isn't on that list. Just I can't remember the name or really if its a Hitchcock movie. But there's most likely at least one left. I'm just not a big fan of him. When it gets past before a certain era I become very selective. Acting changed a lot during the 60s and 70s with the full on introduction of method acting. [editline]4th September 2013[/editline] Also does anyone have a list of good movies on Netflix instant. The thing is currently up there as well as vanilla sky. I hate how at one point for three months they had at least thirty really good movies up. From 12 monkeys to blade runner

gimme a good modern arthouse film, no specifics just whatever you like

The last modern arthouse I saw was Only God Forgives. I guess you could say Much Ado is an arthouse, but as I have not seen it, I can't properly recommend it, despite hearing good things.

[QUOTE=AK'z;42077998]gimme a good modern arthouse film, no specifics just whatever you like[/QUOTE] Enter the void If you like that watch irreversible

[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;42090914]Enter the void If you like that watch irreversible[/QUOTE] these are both on my list, gonna chuck em on for the weekend. thanks ;)

Give me your best eastern thriller/dramas whatever, but like manly stuff not like romantic dramas or girlie movies. please.

I'm watching Firefly right now (I'm up to the season finale and I'll watch the movie tomorrow) and I'm really loving it. Since I figure Buffy the Vampire Slayer was also written by Joss Whedon, would my enjoyment of Firefly translate over to that?

[QUOTE=AK'z;42077998]gimme a good modern arthouse film, no specifics just whatever you like[/QUOTE] It's not really new, but Takashi Miike's Gozu is as entertaining as it is insane.

[QUOTE=UltraSamurai;42115679]Give me your best eastern thriller/dramas whatever, but like manly stuff not like romantic dramas or girlie movies. please.[/QUOTE] Not sure exactly what you mean by Eastern, so I'll give you random stuff from "Not America." Come and See - brutal Russian World War II movie. One of the best films ever made. Not a date movie. Mongol - drama about Gengis Khan. Pretty cool. Infernal Affairs - Hong Kong crime-drama. Precursor to The Departed, which basically ripped off everything but still had less style and subtly than the original. Singham - Scitzofrenic Bollywood film about a cop fighting against corruption. It's dead serious one second, slap stick the next, then they start singing. Great use of slow mo when nothing is happening. Memories of Murder - Korean flick about their first serial killer. Very fictionalized, but still entertaining.

I enjoyed both, firefly moreso because it didn't have all the kind of awkward teen angst stuff. But buffy is very good imo

You might like Angel a bit more, but both are vastly different to Firefly. While they all have good writing, Firefly is more reality based where Buffy and Angel are more fantasy based, with demons, vampires, spells and what not. Buffy is high school/college life focused, whereas Angel is much darker, noir based stories.

[QUOTE=UltraSamurai;42115679]Give me your best eastern thriller/dramas whatever, but like manly stuff not like romantic dramas or girlie movies. please.[/QUOTE] I'd recommend I Saw the Devil. It's a South Korean movie about an agent exacting revenge on a serial killer who killed his wife. It sounds very generic when described like that, but it's the kind of movie which pushes the situation further and further and sort of weighs on your heart for hours when you're done.

Did anyone here watched The Purge? The one where America gives 12 hour to do every single crime without any charges whatsoever

I didn't think it was very good.
