To clarify, this is based purely on predictions about what movies truly deserve to be included.

The first movie seems to be unanimously thought of as a great movie on the internet. And the second seems to be a little more controversial.

I was interested to see what y’all thought of each movie now that it’s been a few years since the second one came out.

Personally, I don’t think think the first one aged very well. I’m sure it was amazing and revolutionary when it came out, but as someone who watched it for the first time recently, it did not live up to the hype.

2049 hit a lot harder for me, emotionally. It even feels like it added to the enjoyment of the first film with the tears disappearing in the rain thing.

I was having a discussion with some friends last night and we were talking about roles that were perfectly cast. Anyone have a favorite?

This movie is dogsh*t and the director is a$$

Any recommendations for good horror movies with happy endings? Preferably with no nudity or sexual content/references. Asking for a friend.

So I saw a trailer for a film about Meðugorje/ our lady of meðugorje. I think it was relesed last year, but i dont know a name of it. On wikipedia it only mensions a 1995 film Gospa, but i think that wikipedia article also dosent contain all the documentaties. So doeas anybody know about this film, or am i wrong?

Hi. I want to know if there are any film fans who have watched opera movies (eg: Tales of Hoffmann (1951) or Carmen (1984)) without previously being opera fans. If so, what caused you to watch it? If not, what factors do you think would make you watch an opera movie? Or, are there literally no circumstances in which you would?

(I'm working on a script for an opera adaptation and want to know if there's any chance of general audiences being interested).

1. The sponge thing. The second guy who puts the helmet-y thing on should have noticed. He puts it on very quickly, which makes sense, but it seems you would notice the wetness at that point, or that someone was watching, especially since it was that little shit’s first time, and there are 3 other officers around.

2. The fact that Percy is just so relentlessly shitty. Just slightly unbelievable to me. Total sadist. They were way too lenient, even if he is some relative of who-the-fuckever.

Thats it. My two nitpicks on a very entertaining, and possibly underrated film.

They just take me out of it a bit.

Shawshank is practically flawless imho.

Discuss!!

Quick note: Not making this to put anyone down. I’m posting at my wife’s encouragement because we are well aware that we’re in the minority and have a genuine interest to hear what we are missing. I just want to hear other opinions.

So my wife purchased this small poster that’s “The 100 Greatest Movies of All Time” where you watch a movie then scratch it off. She grew up almost never watching films so if you ask her if she’s seen a film 9 times out of 10 she hasn’t. Seemed like a fun thing to do together and to catch her up. I’ve always loved movies, but there is a pretty decent amount of the thing that I’ve never seen before either. A lot of them are ones I’ve always heard of but never have gotten around to. The poster has kinda turned into a funny gamble for us. We’ve had a large string of these movies that we have absolutely hated much to our disappointment. We kinda go in now with our guard up expecting to have a bad movie night whenever we choose to scratch one off. Our most recent nights have been

2001 Space Odyssey After years of seeing parodies and praise for this one I had no idea what to expect, but being horribly bored wasn’t it. By the time the first 10-20 minutes of black screen into guys in monkey costumes screaming at each other ended we both were already laughing hysterically baffled at what we were watching. It felt like a ridiculously long time still until actual plot started happening and by that point we just really didn’t care. We had stopped laughing and we’re just fighting falling asleep from boredom.

Blade Runner I thought this movie was going down a story path I tend to actually really enjoy. Debating if artificial life is any different. But Deckard never seems to have any moment questioning of what he’s doing is wrong. He goes replicant to replicant killing them without hesitation then all of a sudden he runs off with one at the end. I never felt he was having any doubts whatsoever about if replicants deserve to be free or any such thing. Unless we are just supposed to hate him, but I found him to be a very uninteresting character and didn’t really care what happens to him.

Before Sunrise Worst film we’ve ever seen we both agreed. The description when we rented it said “two people meet on a train and decide to hang out” and yeah that’s movie. They talk and talk and talk and talk and talk….we tapped out on this one. Could not finish it. No movie has ever bored me like this.

Taxi Driver Everything just felt so scatter brained. Bounced around from one random plot point to the next with none of them feeling particularly resolved or interesting. We were entertained at the culture of the time and there were some funny moments, but ultimately it just was weird

Other movies on the list that we DO think deserve to be there include The Dark Knight, Spirited Away, Truman Show, Lion King, Big Lebowski, LotR Trilogy, Back to the Future, Empire Strikes Back, Groundhog Day, Pulp Fiction

I’m working on writing a basketball film and I need some advice. I’m having difficulty choosing between either writing the story based off of an existing team/university with fictional characters and events or creating a fictional team/university inspired by real universities. Which direction do you guys think I should go with?
