The Official Movie Thread

Reservoir Dogs, oh yeah.

Could have had Fargo in there too, or Blood Simple, or almost any Coen bros. flick.

Just doing a top 5 Coen Bros list would be tough. I'd have to have Fargo, Lebowski, O Brother and TMWWT so that leaves room for...NCFOM? Raising Arizona? Miller's Crossing? It's a tough job.

Yeah, Barton Fink? I'd go back and forth all day on that one.

 

[Bullfrog]

This is very tough. Here`s a completely random list off the top of my head from movies I`ve either watched many times or watched recently:

- Gladiator
- Bourne Identity
- The Prestige
- Bella
- Cars

 

[Kessel Run]

Gonna show some love for the Prestige as well. Awesome movie.

 

[Madferret]

In no specific order: Pulp Fiction, Star Wars IV, Dawn of the Dead <1978>, Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii, The Firm...  a real stoners medley there.

No Star Wars? I'm very disappointed with all of you.

I almost put it on there. Same with the first two Godfathers and Reservoir Dogs too... I also considered The Shining and a bunch of other flicks. Like I said, it was a toughie. Anyway, back to Star Wars for a moment... I stumbled across this this morning... Thought I'd share while on the subject... Just found it funny;

Crap... I forgot a flick that I MUST include... The Professional... See, it's just stupid hard to come up with just 5 so here's my 10... and yes, I'm cheating.

(in no particular order)

1. Goodfellas
2. The Professional
3. Raiders of the Lost Ark
4. Wall Street
5. Full Metal Jacket.
6. Jaws
7. The Shining
8. Star Wars
9. Reservoir Dogs
10. The Godfather 1 & 2 (again cheating there a bit.)

'Mission Impossible 4' was fantastic. Non-stop action from beginning to end with some really creative, elaborate and flat out eye-dropping stunts.

 

[Tigger]

The Inbetweeners was pretty good, what you would expect from an amped up episode of the tv show. Also caught Louis CK live at the Beacon and laughed for pretty much an hour straight.

Did you pay the $5 for for the Louis CK?

No, what $5 is that? ( sounds kind of specific )

Edit: I looked it up, interesting and apparently lucrative approach, he made half a million in three days online...

I got it from a friend.  :-\

Just watched Midnight in Paris. Probably not as critically acclaimed as some people would have you think but definitely a very enjoyable movie.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Trailer for The Dark Knight Rises looks sweet.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.  Awesome.  If you can't find it, PM me.

I think it actually has great-to-fantastic reviews.

Looks interesting, will have to check it out.

Great flick, inspiring for those trying to shift some timber.

I might have enjoyed The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo more if I hadn't watched it here at work but all in all, pretty good. 

 

[seahawk]

I know a couple people here were going to see the new Mission Impossible movie. Without spoiling the movie, I'd like to hear their thoughts on it. Is it worth trying to fight the masses on Boxing Day for?

What I mean is I think it's one of those really good movies, but not quite good enough to win best picture kinda movies. It's fun, it's interesting, it's light. I liked it a lot, but it's not that meaty in terms of actual drama, if you catch my drift.

In terms of being an exposee on Paris, I thought Before Sunset was better overall, although the plotlines in those two movies are very different, but Midnight in Paris was definitely one of the most enjoyable films I've watched all year.

Saw Midnight in Paris on the plane.  It was enjoyable but lighthearted.  I watched Crazy Stupid Love immediately after and thought it was way better.  I can't stand Steve Carrell(he was good in this) but the cast was a good mix, there was some good oneliners, and the plot was pure shakespearean (comedy). 

 

[Fanatic]

Saw Girl With the Dragon Tattoo last night. I thought it was a great movie.
