EXCELLENT choice! :clap:

Have you seen the film?
It's not earth-shattering, but it's some of the most genial good-natured fun in movie history. Just a great chance to chuckle and smile for a couple of hours.

I have seen it. I enjoyed it.

I remember this being on Cable when we had Channel Z pre HBO - I never saw it I don't think.

Every one should see this it's like a documentary of a tribesmen village cursed by a Coca-Cola bottle that was thrown out of a aeroplane. It can be a bit silly but has charm.

I agree :thumb:

So I was bored flipping through useless channels looking at the same old shit last night, and I stumbled on X-Men: Days of Future Past on FXM last night. Every time I've watched this movie, Rogue never made an appearance until the very end when Logan woke up in the future, and Bobby died in China as the last line of defense for the Professor/wounded Magneto/Kitty/Logan.

Last night, I watched a version where Xavier, Bobby and Magneto go to the occupied mansion to save Rogue, and Bobby is killed there by three Sentinels getting Rogue out. They use Rogue to absorb Kitty's time traveling abilities (when did she get those, anyway?) so she can take a break and get medical help after being sliced open by Logan. When, exactly, did they make these changes, and why didn't they use this version in the theatrical release? I enjoyed it more than the other version.

Road Trip is so much better.

correction it was actually called Z Channel. LOL

Bad ass 70's movie

Also if you like adventure here's one from the director of The French Connection and The Exorcist.It's actually a remake of a French film called Wages of Fear which is very good as well.It has a few subtitles but not too many but overall an edge of your seat great watch.

thanks Joe - I'll make note.

The Canal is pretty good - Anyone seen The Ninth Gate?

Directed by David Lynch's daughter I recommend Surveillance - it is basically when Lost Highway met Fargo. Definitely a fun movie, I thought.

Caught this on Amazon Prime yesterday,interesting twist on the zombie genre

I always like the idea of mixing the old with the new (although the "new" is "old" by now, and the "old" is now "really old").....

"Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid"

Great choice - I actually saw it in the theater

Watching this tonight, not to be confused with the 2018 'The Neighbor' which i've already seen and liked.

Just watched Dunkirk last night.

Has to be one of the best movies ive watched in years. I love war movies and this one exceeded expectations.

I still haven't seen Saving Private Ryan.

I own it and have yet to watch it. ****ing kids always taking up my time.

I've yet to see it but afraid it wont stand up to Super Trooper but is Super Trooper 2 any good that it doesn't tarnish the brilliance of the first one or is it non funny shenanigans?

The Guardian was pretty good from 1990 directed by William Friedkin

Watched The Game with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. Hadn’t seen it in a decade at least and didn’t remember too much about it. Damn good movie! Really enjoyed it. It’s obviously none you have to dismiss actual reality for, but I’m good with that!

Also watched Gringo and thought it was a good movie, although for the first time in my life I actually called the ending at the near beginning.

I saw the Game at the theater - I may need to revisit that one.

Two really good Netflix movies on gambling. Mississippi Grind. And "Win it all."

My heart was practically pumping out of my chest watching "Win it all." So uncomfortable to watch, in the best kind of way.

there's a good thriller called Calibre I recommend. Movie though - not series

Close Your Eyes from 2002 is pretty good and def. different.

2nd viewing of The Road tonight - it was 2.7 stars from perfect - I feel like they needed to warm us up to normal family life prior to the apocalypse. Where you at with it? 7.3 stars.

That movie is just too depressing. I like my post apoc movies less realistic and with more 'splosions.

They could have done that, but it wouldn't have been true to the source material of the book. And doing that in the book would ruin the entire feel of the book which is made to feel more like a myth/allegory because of the lack of names, background, or really anything beyond "the road" for the father and son.

So yes: it might have made it emotionally more impactful, but it would have "ruined it" for fans of the book and made it an entirely different experience.

Two movies I can watch over and over

Training Day and Life

That book was pretty great but just crushing. Reminds me I need to read more of McCarthy.

I always enjoyed the movie Mash but not the TV show. The movie was directed by the late Robert Altman. In 1992 he directed a satirical film about making films. I just showed it last week to a couple of people who never heard of it, and they loved it.

It's got a story with beginning, middle and end but is a sort of slice of life of a studio movie producer and the back stabbing and politics that go on in the movie business. The lead is played by Tim Robbins and he's really good. It's got a murder, it's a mystery, a love interest, and the opening scene is a continuing 8 minute shot with over 30 actors all involved in various activities with the camera constantly moving. It took a lot of planning to pull that opening scene off. There is a huge roster of actors, many are just playing cameo parts to be in this film about films.

You could just go buy a copy of every movie featuring Denzel Washington as the lead (or a major character in it) and watch them. I'm partial to Training Day, Man On Fire, Philadelphia, Fallen, and American Gangster.

Everybody remembers Michael Douglas for Fatal Attraction, Wall Street and Basic Instinct. In the 90's he made some odd movies which I like just as much, Falling Down is one of those odd movies, it could of been better, probably John Goodman as lead would of been greater, but at least Douglas tried something different. What I really liked in the 90's was the one you liked, The Game and his following movie, The Perfect Murder.

Yeah, it was a good movie. But I wish I had never watched it.

And it drove me nuts that nobody knew what happened. Although that didn't infuriate me the way No Country For Old Men did.

The book is even worse.

I honestly think I'd have just put a bullet in both of our brains if I were in that position.

watching The Clovehitch Killer tonight. I watched the Messengers last night - I really like Dylan McDermott, underrated actor IMHO.

Moonstruck 1987 with Cher is actually a great movie. Nicolas Cage rocked this part.

I HATED that movie. Saw it in the theater and had to be practically be physically restrained from getting up and leaving. All I remember is Cher ditching her nice and decent boyfriend for the raving lunatic Cage, while some old fart was walking his dogs yelling at the moon.

I tried to watch it again a couple of years later. I thought perhaps I had been in a bad mood when I saw it, or otherwise judged it too harshly. Nope. It just sucked. Basically it's the non-war version of Thin Red Line. I'll never understand what the critics saw in it. Or anybody else.

You either love it or hate it.

I'd have to agree with that.

It is a crappy book.

Dude writes angst but people pretend it is pretentious.

Timeless Love is worth a watch.

I saw the movie Loser for the first time in years the other day. It’s crazy how you didn’t know who the other actors were at the time but when you watch it in hindsight it gave a lot of them their start. Jimmi Simpson and Tom Sadoski.

I'm sure I've gushed about this in other threads, but it deserves another mention - Frailty. From 2001, directed by and starring Bill Paxton, also starring Matthew McConaughey and Powers Boothe. Story told from the point of view of a kid whose dad tells him that he has been commanded by an angel to destroy demons in human form, and then begins his mission. Amazing plot, twists and performances all the way around. It's one of the best movies you've probably never heard of.

Every time I watch Draft Day, it gets cheesier and cheesier. gawd.

yep...and for some damned reason, it has slowly morphed into one of those movies my wife and I always end up watching it until the end whenever we stumbled upon it on TV. Much like Goodfellas, Shawshank, Apollo 13 etc..

His assistant had two of the worst quotes in the entire movie. “That’s pure Roethlisberger” and “You can’t go handing the ball off to some girl.” Talk about cringe.

I had forgotten how much of a sucker I am for Notting Hill. One I'll always stop the remote on.

yip! that's a good one, about due to re-watch it.

I always felt that Hall Pass 2011 never got the credit it deserved. Pretty damn good Farrelly brothers flick. The bonus scene at the end with Stephen Merchant will always be hilarious.

Watched Boogie Nights for the millionth time. I think it’s the perfect movie, it never gets old IMO. There are so many classic scenes.

damnnnn

I will never be able to eat a Chicken Sandwich again without thinking of Freddy Got Fingered. Under normal circumstances this movie would have been terrible, but Rip Torn took it in the stratosphere.

The Little Things (2021)
Deke (Denzel Washington), a burnt-out Kern County, CA deputy sheriff teams up with Baxter (Rami Malek), a crack LASD detective, to nab a serial killer. Deke's nose for the "little things" proves eerily accurate, but his willingness to circumvent the rules embroils Baxter in a soul-shattering dilemma. Meanwhile, Deke must wrestle with a dark secret from his past.

I thought Chris O’Dowd was hilarious in This is 40.

Did ya get to catch the Get Shorty series? One of the best shows that nobody watched, kind of like Terriers. . . How in the hell did no one watch Terriers?

At least with Get Shorty, you figure most people are like 'what the eff in an EPIX?'

I’ve heard of it but it’s another show I can’t watch because I don’t have the channel. EPIX used to be part of my cable package but they took it off a few years back.

October Sky

The book is also a great read.

Me too, although I was a wee lad at the time. Didn’t really get the movie back then. Maybe one day I’ll revisit it. Only thing I remember.... you fargin icehole.....

Is there a better time travel movie than Time Bandits?? I haven’t seen one.

Is there a better cartoon movie than Heavy Metal (which my parents took me to say at a VERY young age)? I haven’t seen one.

Is there a better serial killer than 7even?? I haven’t seen one.

Romancing the Stone???

Zack and Miri Make a Porno 2008

This Justin Long scene popped in my head today. Haha

Been watching a favorite movie from my youth. Loverboy 1989 with Patrick Dempsey. It was a very entertaining movie back in the day and I hadn’t seen it in years. It’s still as funny as it was back then.

Yeah, I remember seeing that as a young impressionable lad, and being....impressed. Those are fantastic tits. Then and now.
