We discuss movies. (in Off-topic)

Dear CB: Please suggest me a movie or two that I ought to watch. I have tomorrow off from work and I just want to relax and watch a good movie, I'm thinking.



Links to IMDB along with recommended movies = a good thing.

I just met someone last night who had never seen "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". I was shocked and appalled.

WARNING: Never ever watch these movies, I'm ashamed to say I have.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094057/ - Street Trash

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097858/ - Meet the Feebles

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067866/ - El Topo

Oh and Rudy sucks.

Movies i HIGHLY Suggest you watch, both VERY AWSOME!!! :

The Passion of the Christ

and

The "Jesus" Film

Jesus Christ really does heal and save, Jesus Christ Healed my eyes, i have Perfect Vision now, All Thanks to Jesus Christ!!!

God Bless you!

Jesus Loves you :)

What kind of movies do you like? Do you want something light and relaxing, comedic, or something that will make you think? I can recommend more, but we'll start with:

Triplets of Belleville- if you haven't seen this, i recommend it VERY highly.

A Clockwork Orange- some people don't like Kubrick, but I loved this movie. You may have seen it already though.

I'd also recommend any of those Christopher Guest mockumentaries, like This Is Spinal Tap (i'm sure you've seen that one), Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, etc. Best in Show was my favorite in that vein.

With more info on what you've seen/what you want to see, I could recommend more.

Another vote for triplets... OB would be singing for days

No novice, movies I DO want to see! ;P


I've seen both movies, but advertising your religious views in my thread turns me away from your belief system. I do not want to become an intrusive walking advertisement, and if that is what the religion entails, I believe I'll pass.


I like my scars 'cuz they make for good stories, and I saved 3 blocks ago, I'll reload from there if I die


Yes and yes. I like good philosophical/thinky movies. They are interesting. But I also like a good comedy for relaxation...I don't like actors who are the same person in every film, though, so count out Will Farrell/Jack Black/Michael Cera etc

I haven't seen Triplets of Belleville, so that's the one I'm leaning toward given your advice so far. :)

Watch it. You'll love it. It's consistently the first movie I recommend to anyone who ever asks, "I want to watch a movie, what should I watch?" Because it's often one people haven't seen and it's one of my absolute favorite movies.

if you have never seen it:

Wow, I watched that movie a long time ago and could never remember the name until now, thanks dudemus!

My most recent enjoyable movie was In Bruges.

I took the kids to see the latest HP movie last night. Phew, only one more to go...

The Life of David Gale - one of my favorite movies a lot of people haven't seen. Lotta head-fakes in it!

Dead Poets Society

Renaissance Man

Seconding In Bruges.

Also;

Ghost Dog, Way of the Samurai
13th Warrior
Iron Man
Zombieland
Kick (backside)

I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of them! :P

I have to toss in Zombieland. It's mindless (ha!), it's funny, and it's well made. It's in the same vein as Shaun of the Dead, which is also a must-see.

And now I see that GL already posted it. Even more reason to see Zombieland.

The prestige

The prestige is very good! Seconding that! ;)

just since its near teh holiday season i recomend The Nightmare Before Christmas!

Zombieland is overrated. Here's a fine zombie film from Peter Zackson.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/

Off the top of my head I'd recommend:
The Hudsucker Proxy
Gran Torino
The Bank Job

I also second these movies:
In Bruges
The Prestige
Zombieland

Gran Torino and Zombieland.

Prestige is good. Just got done watching Inception, awesome movie!

A Single Man

I acquired The Human Centipede. Watch it for me so I don't have to, k?

no

Man on Fire.

The Prestige just may be my favourite film of the past ten years.
