Any new recommendations AN?
I don't mind if they are even a few months old, I haven't watched a movie in ages :(
-
Right now I hear that new Justin Timberlake movie, "In Time" is good. I've yet to watch it (due to exam revision) but it's definitely on my list.
If you haven't seen it yet, "HP 7 (parts 1 and 2)" It was like the end of my childhood. I was so close to tears.

+1 for HP7. It made me sad to see the end, and my father had to put up with my sobbing enthusiasm for it.

I've been meaning to watch Super 8 for awhile now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_8_(film)
It sounds pretty interesting.
On the topic of Spielberg, the Tin Tin movie comes out late next month sometime.
-
Dudes. The Usual Suspects, get on that shiet.
One of my favourite movies.
OH AND YOU'RE NOT A SEXY GUY (or girl) UNLESS YOU'VE WATCHED THE GODFATHER.
Edit: Don't watch Godfather III, it sucked.
-
Yep, The Usual Suspects mad movie!
I had a list somewhere of good movies.... Here:
Bourne Trilogy
Transformers
Shooter
Inglorious Basterds
Invictus
Inception
All the Pirates of the Carribean
Chaos
Crank 1&2
21
Source Code
Kick Ass
Unleashed
Se7en
Wall Street Money Never Sleeps
2012 (pretty epic)
Fight Club
The Fighter
Some of them arent great but i still liked them :P Also depends on what movies you like, i enjoy comedies but i'd rather a solid action/thriller movie! Horror movies are usually just dumb lol
-
Not new but Good Will Hunting and The Shawshank Redemption are pretty good (sorry about the underlining, got used to it for English).
-
Limitless was probably my favourite movie this year, I recommend it.
Also, if you're willing to wait 13 months, I'm sure The Hobbit will be fantastic :)
-
Since we're talking about old films as well, I'm going to assume you have seen this movie, but if you haven't, you need to watch it immediately: Forrest Gump.
I'm not sure if we're turning this thread into a best movies of all-time thread, so I'll refrain from listing others.
Also, if you're willing to wait 13 months, I'm sure The Hobbit will be fantastic :)
+1

Memento
The Innocents
Snatch
Howl's Moving Castle
Spirited Away
The Lion King
Sunshine
everything else I can think of has already been listed
-
Horrible bosses! Funniet movie ever i swear. Planet of apes was very good too but idunno if its still on. anymore. These are the type of movies that have heaps or surprises in them
-
Not new but Good Will Hunting and The Shawshank Redemption are pretty good (sorry about the underlining, got used to it for English).
The Shawshank Redemption. The Lion King.
;____; i love you guys.
(And The Hobbit!)
-
Bourne Trilogy
Seconded. Love Matt Damon
I've wanted to watch all the Ocean's movies for ages- they should be good
If you want action movies watch the Bond movies- cant get past them.
I also liked Killers and Knight and Day- Buts that just me and my fixation with Romantic Action movies. And speaking of Knight and Day, Tom Cruise is amazing, so Mission Impossible (whatever number we're up to) should be good.
If you want chick flicks I can give you names, but somehow I doubt you'd want them :)
Yesterday I watched What's your number, Coyote Ugly and New In Town and today I watched Ghosts of Girlfriends Past LOL
-

Shoot I forgot the Oceans movies! 21 is alright too.
EDIT: Add The Fast the Furious Tokyo Drift
EDIT2: And Back To the Future 1,2 and 3

Yeah I liked 21 too. Give me names of good Action movies??? :)
-
How could i forget: Batman The Dark Knight.... Awesome!
-
Imo 21 (the movie about counting cards?) was better than goodwillhunting even though theyre both based on geniuses. U should watch the movie with russel crowe in it about the smart guy who went crazy amd began hallucinating- such a sad movie :(
-
Inception is amazing if you can follow it properly.
If you want something that will leave you in stitches watch 'Money Talks' absolutely one of the funniest movie I've watched in my life.
Charlie Sheen and Chris Tucker are in it.
Here is a link to it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vekvAMq6rhU
-
watch LOTR and Star Wars
that should keep you occupied for awhile ;)

One of my best friends has NEVER seen any of the LOTR or Star Wars movies, so I'm forcing her to watch them all sometime over the holidays. Also, my other best friend has never seen The Lion King. It's so sad.
-
http://15th.japanesefilmfestival.net/calendar_melbourne.html < The Japanese Film festival is on up until Dec 6th for those who like their asian movies
and I recommend Kick-Ass, Scott Pilgrim Versus The World and Zombieland
-
I need to see inception and there was a movie based on the Zimbardo prison stimulation, can't remember the name. Also limitless, breaking dawn (conversation starter with the ladies), and a few others that are currently at the back of my head.
-
Angels and Demons is on right now (Channel nine).
-
Angels and Demons is great.
Much better than the Davinci Code.
-
LOL at watching breaking dawn to get girls, will only get you in the friends category at best.
Will go with some less common movies
-A Clockwork Orange
-V for Vendetta
-Pulp Fiction
-Amelie
-Manon de Sources (french)
-A simple plan
-Requiem for a Dream
-Cinema Paradiso (italian)
-Rashomon
-Life of Brian
-The Wrestler
-
-
Pulp Fiction.... 2 and half hours of my life i will never get back. Overall it will pass as ok. But i found a lot of it really bad lol Didnt like it at all.
Inception is definitely one of my favourite movies!
-
2001: A Space Odyssey is great. Actually, most films by Kubrick are great.
-
Never watch that stupid ass Benjamin Button film. It sucked so much fkn ass, I wanted to kill myself.
I don't understand how that freaking movie won any awards, it was sosososososososossoosososososo shit. Probs on par with "The Good Sheperd".
-
OH GOD HARRY POTTER I CRIED SO MUCH AT JUST THE TITLE SCREEN ALONE
-
OH GOD DON'T REMIND ME *tearing up* so sad...
Also, when the hell do I get my pottermore invite? It's been so long
-
Eh, it's nothing great.
-
Ok then. No biggie, I just wanted to know what house I'd be in. and just, you know, live out my childhood dream. I wanted to be an auror when I was eight, not a boring real-world professional.
-
Auror? Yeah kind of cool. I want to be a teacher there. Never leave Hogwarts.
PS: I was sorted into Gryffindor, which was sweet.
-
Did you sign up for the beta? I'm hoping for Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. (hehe Swype on my phone recognizes those as words)
Ps. Sorry everyone else for derailing the thread. On topic, the original transformers Movie (animated from the 80s) is really good.
-
yeah I did. Haven't gone on in a while.
OT: work through this.
-
breaking dawn (conversation starter with the ladies)
LOL at watching breaking dawn to get girls, will only get you in the friends category at best.
Yeah at best. If ANYONE started talking about Twilight with me, male or female, I would walk away. And I would say something very undignified to them as well.
Harry Potter, always! The end of DHP2 was so sad. It was like the end of our childhoods. Some tumblrarians had this going on where at the end of the movie you were supposed to get out your wand and say lumos maxima at the end. I came prepared with wands for my friends (sticks from my backyard, I know Ollivander would be horrified). I forgot to do it though LOL
-
Breaking Dawn promises to be hilarious though, since the 4th book is the one where she accepts she can't write and just goes crazy with the story.
Rewatch lord of the rings, I'm doing that after exams.
-

Check out 'The Exam'!
Psychological thriller. Nothing too special, watched it a couple of days ago and really enjoyed it.

Gayniggers from Outta Space. Nuff said.

LMFAO. THAT'S ACTUALLY A MOVIE D;
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0274518/
-
In Time was not too shabby actually. V for Vendetta is also quite the movie; fascism, ammunition etc etc. (Y)
-
Con Air
-
Duh. Only the greatest movie to ever exist. Along with The Room, that is.
-
I think this was mentioned before but the title was not given; I'm sure every one of you will love 'The Beautiful Mind' with Russel Crowe. 'Gladiator' too is an epic movie. Along with Braveheart and Troy. Black Hawk Down is an awesome movie, as well as Green Zone and Three Kings. All war-action. Then there's 'The Devil's Double', following the theme of the gulf war from Iraqi perspective.
For some reason, Titanic entertains me every time too.
-
Fight club, No country for old men, American Psycho, Pulp Fiction
-
Someone want to explain to me how Pulp Fiction is good?
-
Started working my way through what I haven't seen yet from the IMDB top 250. Watched Princess Mononoke and Citizen Kane today.
-
A BEAUTIFUL MIND, OMG LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Made me fall in love with psychology.
Maths lovers don't hate. :)

Everyone should watch the titles in bold, if you like The Royal Tenenbaums as well as The Life Aquatic then watch The Darjeeling Limited. 500 days of summer for those that like romance... Pan's Labyrinth is simply crazy.
Considering two people in this thread dislike Pulp Fiction, I don't know whether those recommendations mean anything.
-
French films? One of my favourites is Les Choristes.
-
Watching 21 right now. "Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner!" :P

DUDE WHERES MY CAR

Inception is an awesome movie, the paradoxes, time elapses, and going deep into dreams.
the Christian Nolan, the actors; Leanardo Di Caprio, Ellen Paige, and Jordon-Gordon Lewitt were truly amazing.
Dream, dream in that dream, dream dream in that dream. If you guys know what i mean.
You guys should seriously watch movie, you won't be disappointed.

sherlock holmes 1 and 2 <3

I reckon the second one is better than the first, also +1 at shutter island, one of the best mind fuck movie along with inception

Yep agreed except i havent seen sherlock homes 2.
I saw Sucker Punch the other day and i've gotta say it was a bit of a let down. Attempted mind fuck with the whole inception idea but didnt work well...

That was the movie with the steampunk dressed ladies and the plot that was completely random?
-
thats the point, you have been sucker punched by the movie :)
-
Anything involving Hayao Miyazaki.
One movie he directed, Spirited Away, is ranked 45 on the top rated movies of all time according to imdb.com.

Sherlock Holmes 2
Tears of the Sun (a good war film)
Taken
Bourne Trilogy
Die Hard
Lethal Weapon
two great classics are indiana jones and gremlins
-
SHERLOCK HOLMES 2... i have to say that number 1 was better than 2. maybe it was the cinema i was at, but i didn't understand most of the words the men were saying...they all had DEEP voices! lol..because of that, i kinda lost the plot a little. almost every second scene was a fight scene too... :P but i loved the ending!
-
^still cant understand why critics hated it
-
i'm thinking of going to watch sherlock holmes at movies...
any other good movies out atm?
-
war horse and MI4 are out now

I'm the other way around, but I loved them both :) I can see connections with the books too (esp. ending), so thats always great :)
-
I saw Sherlock 2 last night. Was let-down if you compared it to the first one, which I enjoyed a lot. I swear half the movie was in slow motion. Talk about beating a dead horse in half time. Also, suffers from the Michael Bay condition
-
A Tale of Two Sisters
Ringu

Absolutely adorable movie. Dali is hands down the best character
