Pulp Fiction has an anachronistic plot, and there was one film that I saw that had one as well, but the name isn't coming to me. I'll try to get back to you on that one.

[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;42600472]Looper's pretty good. Also Twelve Monkeys. You might like Chronicle but I personally hate that movie (Sorry Chronicle apologists, dwi)[/QUOTE] Might I ask why you didn't like Chronicle? [editline]22nd October 2013[/editline] I ask because it never came to theaters in my town so I never actually heard other people's opinions on it.

Don't like shaky cam, thought plot was kind of ridiculous/annoying, didn't like the actors or their acting. I'm just not much of a "realistic" superpower movie kind of guy. Its for the same reasons why I hated Jumper (though that was a legitimately terrible movie)

What are some good English (as in the language) found-on-tape movies? Like Chronicle (well I thought it was good).

Cloverfield

Blair Witch Project.

[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;42614806]What are some good English (as in the language) found-on-tape movies? Like Chronicle (well I thought it was good).[/QUOTE] Grave Encounters (horror). Keep em coming, I also love this kind of movies. There's of course the Paranormal Activity movies, but well...

Is Drive good? [editline]26th October 2013[/editline] Also need recommendations on good movies to watch. I've seen quite a few and have been recently watching a ton of batman animated films, and a good amount of the newer ones that are out, just can't find enough movies to watch

Ive recently watched "The collector" for horror/thriller its amazingly good except thats its not really horror but it makes you go on a thrilling ride! definitly a 9/10 as it was what i was looking for. but really its only a 8/10 in terms how good it is. I need some more real horror movies to watch but i dont really know what as i watched all if not most of them but more extreme movies like this would be good. anyone recommend?

I couldn't find a "Remember that film name" thread so I thought I'd post it here. When I was young I remember only seeing half of a film, it was similar to the matrix in that it was about a guy who started noticing strange glitches in the world and eventually everything becomes less like reality, one key part was when he's offered some cookies but they look like cardboard or something. It's been such a long time, it'd be awesome if anyone's knows the name.... It is most likely a pre 2000 film.

Desperados, I have watched this movie many times and I still enjoy it, one of the best movies ( in my opinion )

What exactly are you looking for?

I recommend Dawn of the Dead (original, the remake is good too though.) and Day of the Dead, all-time classics.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;42657048]Drive's very good. What exactly are you looking for?[/QUOTE] Just watched drive, it was v. good. I don't really fancy comedys or anything like that, just a good movie with a good plot. Nothing too action-e and nothing too boring. I just prefer a good story with good characters, or atleast one of those.

L.A. Confidential American Gangster Pulp Fiction Reservoir Dogs Heat I tend to gravitate towards crime dramas, myself, so my list is more skewed to that end.

movies about or have Type IV or above civilization kinda like Dr.Who or The Q from Star Trek.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;42658944]Watch "Sideways" sometime if you haven't.[/QUOTE] Comedy-Drama?

anyone see VHS? It was good I'd like something similar to that where it has that kind of home movie feel at parts of it but the characters really feel real like not cardboard cut-outs. Just saw Good Will Hunting and the Boiler room and Reindeer games, and also prison movies, drug dealer/hustlers movies. I feel like I'm being intensely greedy asking for so much at one time.

[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;42669751]watch Collateral easily one of the just straight up cooler movies I've seen.[/QUOTE] I'll check it out. Just watched Evil Dead, is Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness worth watching too?

[QUOTE=CritNick;42676146]I'll check it out. Just watched Evil Dead, is Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness worth watching too?[/QUOTE] They're both great, but all three movies are good in different ways. Army of Darkness is basically entirely different than both movies before it. I think Evil Dead 2 is the best.

Just watched Evil dead 2, and can see the resemblance, Army of Darkness is more action-e isn't it?

Yes, it's a very cheesy, one-liner spewing, action film. Great fun all around, but very different from the previous two.

I dig it.

I have seen : Heat Usual Suspects Scarface Casino Goodfellas Donnie Brasco Eastern Promises Leon Pulp Fiction ( should watch again ) Departed ( should watch again ) Looking for mob/gangster movies. Maybe I should watch Once Upon a Time in America or Untouchables

Miller's Crossing City Of God watch those 2 you wrote

You haven't seen Godfather??

Can someone recommend a movie as good as Good Will Hunting?
