Movies

Usually when I finish a major series i'll watch a few movies before starting a new one. Any suggestions? Seen a lot but also haven't seen a lot of so nothing's too obvious to suggest more than likely. If possible list why it's good/what genre/who is in it/maybe give a bit of the story but no spoilers pls and ty.

 

Money monster. Watching it right now, and BRRip.

 

Troy, Se7en, Law Abiding Citizen, Friday Night Lights (movie and show are both great), Superbad, Interstellar, or 300. I think they're all fairly known movies but they're great IMO.

 

What genre?

Will probably give it a try

Seen Troy, Superbad, 300 will probably look into the others

Idk pretty much any

Not looking for shows atm but will probably watch some of the movies. I heard Warcraft wasn't that great though :S

 

Gimme a genre. 'Pretty much any' would get you a 5000 list from me.

 

Jagten from 2012, Oscar nominated, lost against a good movie.

It's a film on how an innocent lie can really fuck everything in our life, and can even chases us even if time has pased.

my other recommendation would be Abre los Ojos Spanish movie from the Director Alejandro Amenabar, It even has a Hollywood remake, called Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise on the lead.

The movie is about a handsome youngman who falls his soulmate, only to have an accident the next day, and have his face desfigurated.

 

Mainly comedy or action, some other stuff. You can pretty much rule out anything horror related as most of it just doesn't interest me unless it's more of a sarcastic/satirical horror flick.

Assuming the second one isn't in English? :L

 

Neither of them are in english. Jagten is From Denmark/Danish, and Abre los ojos, its from Spain/spanish. You can watch the remake, Vanilla Sky. It's basically the same story.

 

Gladiator
Shawshank Redemption
2001 Space Odyssey
Inception
Godfather(s)
Citizen Kane
The Seventh Seal
Metropolis
City of God
City of Men
Schindlers List
Forrest Gump
LoTR (all)
Saving Private Ryan
Eastern Promises
A Clockwork Orange


Few randoms that came to mind.

 

What i did this summer was write down a list of my 5 all time favorite movies, find out the director, and watch that director's highest rated movies. Was extremely effective in finding movies preferable to my taste!

 

21 years a slave
interstellar
in time

 

Shawshank Redemption, Gladiator, Schindler's List, Forrest Gump i've seen.

LoTR I prefer to watch series all at once so that's probably not gonna happen for a bit since that's quite a bit to watch, i'll probably watch them at some point though. Seen some of them / parts of others and yeah they're good.

A good friend of mine with similar tastes in movies/shows told me he watched Citizen Kane and it definitely wasn't worth watching so i'm not sure i'll be checking it out, from what i've read about the story etc. it doesn't sound like something i'd enjoy.

Rest I will probably check out, definitely at least some of them. Definitely Saving Private Ryan / Inception / probably the Godfather movies as well.

I've done a lot of this as well not only with the same director but the same actors and yeah it usually works.

I'll probably check these out as well

 

Law Abiding Citizen
