Last movie you saw?

How is Rocky IV not on the list? 

This is at least the second time you've referenced that movie in the past week!

Haha, I've had it on the brain this week since we had a "what is better, Rocky IV or Bloodsport?" debate at work last week.

I noticed this posted on another forum and thought it would be worth sharing.

I count 33 of these I've seen. Some of them are favorites like Eternal Sunshine and Synecdoche, NY.

And among the ones I have not seen, some I know and don't care to see, but some others I have no clue about and am curious about.

About 51, not bad! I think I've head of most of them but this will be a good list to have, thanks.

Folks, if you want more mindfucks, I highly recommend this list, plenty of amazing recs.

I've seen maybe a dozen of these.

The only ones I can recall liking at all were Sixth Sense, Gone Girl, The Truman Show and Groundhog Day (all of which I suspect barely qualify for the list).  Most of the rest were either not memorable (e.g., The Prestige), sucked hard (e.g., The Matrix) or were the product of an acid trip (Un Chien Andalou, which I saw in a film class in college).  Clearly not my category.

First time I hear someone saying The Matrix sucks hard

[Stadler]

Only 17, and disliked most of them. Just don't like mindfucks for the sake of mind fucking.

Hey! Did we watch them together?  Hahaha.  That's my number, and I'd say the same thing.  Over half of them that I saw I was like "eh".

Watched Stargate last night for the first time. Best movie I've seen in a while. Loved it.

[Stadler]

A Dog's Journey.    Don't get me started.

Doesn't help that we had to put my stepson's dog down not long ago, a dog that was living with us for the past couple years, and just got a new puppy that I swear is the older dog reincarnated.

First time?  Man, I’d have thought given the content/subject matter you’d have seen that ages ago. Awesome movie though. I really dug all the SyFy series that were birthed from it as well.

It's been a long time, and I only saw it once, but I don't recall liking anything about that movie.  The plot was convoluted and all of the stylized action stuff just looked dumb to me.

I remember thinking it was a bit frustrating and overrated at the time. Today I like it but more as a cool nostalgic 90s movie, I don’t consider it great cinema. The sequels are pretty trashy.

Yup. First time. I honestly hadn't even heard of it. I'd like to check out the sequels/show.

There's no sequel to the movie. The show is spinoff/reimagining. So (almost) totally different cast.

Also the show is 10 seasons, with a 5 season spin off of its own, and a 2 season spin off of its own, and two movies based on the show, not the movie.

I love them, but it's a lot to get into.

Oh wow. Just looked it up. I thought Atlantis was a follow up movie. Didn't realize that was a five season thing.

yeah as Adami mentioned.....that movie spawned a whole little world of TV shows that were pretty fun to watch. You could certainly chew up some time if you chose to dive into it

[gmillerdrake]

Watched '1917' last night, man.....that was an awesome movie. I'm mad at myself for not going and seeing that on the big screen.

[ozzy554]

The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (1933) Been wanting to see this one for a while and I saw it was HBO Max. Lang was really ahead of his time as a filmmaker

The Comedy of Terrors (1964) Funny little film with a great cast. I always forget how good of a comedic actor Price and Lorre could be. Karloff and Rathbone were great in it as well.

Excellent movie.  And yeah, I totally believe that dog's reincarnate back to their owners new pet.

I got an email a couple days ago that Regal theaters are going to be opening back up starting on July 10.  I cannot wait (although I don't know what movies will be out)!  I may go see anything just to go.

[Kotowboy]

@Chino I had a thought whilst watching Avatar again recently. The trip from Earth to Pardora is +/- 6 years.

What if Jim intentionally took 12 years to release Avatar 2 as thats the exact time it;ll take for the round trip back to Earth then back to Pandora with reinforcements

My family and I just rewatched the movie and started Stargate SG-1, which I was surprised to realize is a direct sequel to the movie, with the same characters (but played by different actors).

Ran (1985) 

[Evermind]

ooof... Only seen 13.

I saw 8.

[Stadler]

The Departed.

I had seen it before, but watched it with my daughter and wife and... mixed feelings.  I forgot certain things and apparently I didn't see from the moment Matt and Leo got on to the elevator to the end, because I didn't remember any of that.   

I will say this, though:  they are both cliches in different ways, but both Jack Nicholson and Alec Baldwin can ACT.  Holy crap.  That one scene where Jack and Leo are sitting at the table talking about who is the cop is money.

Awesome film.  I still wish it had ended differently, but it's still pretty awesome.  It is probably my 2nd favorite Scorsese film, behind only Goodfellas.

[Cool Chris]

I am not a huge Scorsese guy but The Departed is great!

[Adami]

Departed is great but not even in my top 5 of his.

I don’t have an exact list but I’d put Goodfellas, Casino, Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, Raging Bull, Gangs of New York, Wolf of Wallstreet, and The Aviator ahead of it.

Saw (most of) Ford v. Ferrari and all of Vertigo this weekend.

FvF was amazing; I loved the way that was shot.  It was like watching a documentary, almost.   Vertigo, well, gave me vertigo.  It was weird to watch.  I still don't get the McKittrick Hotel scene, and it turned pretty creepy pretty quickly, but then sort of veered back to making sense.  I get the underlying psychology (it's been said Vertigo is Hitchcock's most revealing film, and Madeleine by far his most sympathetic female character) but it still had an... odd vibe to it that I can't quite place.

FvF killed me. Not enough motor porn, too much unnecessary romance, too much inaccuracy about the failed acquisition deal that sparked the feud.

And too much Ferrari losing

My kids bought me the DVD of Jumanji: The Next Level for father's day, and I watched it, along with the bonus features.  There are several sets of interviews with the main cast and, by the end of it, I was thinking that they could have basically had the whole thing be Karen Gillan reading pretty much anything for however much time could fit on the disc.  Aside from being gorgeous, that woman's voice is just heavenly!

I watched Atomic Blonde again and actually managed to understand what the hell was going on this time.

Klute (1971)

Good early 70s suspense flick with Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland, and Roy Scheider. Slow paced and understated, along the lines of The Conversation or The French Connection. I like those kinds of movies. It's also a very good "New York" movie, which I also like. Honestly, though, it should have been called Bree, after Jane Fonda's character. Sutherland (Klute) was mostly a plot device, while Fonda carried the show and earned every single bit of the Oscar she won. Throughout the movie she's shifting back and forth between brash and excited as a call girl, beaten down with her lot in life, certain and honest while spilling her guts to her shrink, and confused and vulnerable in her "relationship" with Sutherland. Her character changes on the fly and she nails it every time.  The final three or so minutes is a fixed closeup of her face while the bad guys plays an audio recording of his encounter with one of her "coworkers," and the fear and sadness she conveys is chilling. That woman's a helluva actress.

[Orbert]

I was too young to see Klute when it came out, though I do seem to remember it being well-received.  I like Sutherland, Scheider, and Jane Fonda, and I do like 70's cop or spy movies, so I'm sure I'd love it.  Just gotta catch it on cable sometime (no Netflix).

Got a years subscription to Full Moon Features for the free Puppet Master Blu Ray Box set. So far I've seen:

Dollman: I love Tim Thomerson movies and he's entertaining as a Dirty Harry esque character that happens to be 13 inches tall on earth.

Subspecies IV: Bloodstorm: Finally got around to seeing this one. Anders Hove as Radu is one of the more underappreciated horror villains. Can't wait for part V to finally be made

Trancers: I liked this one more on a second viewing. It's one of the more well put together films from them and I thought it was entertaining from beginning to end. Love the Chemistry between Thomerson and Hunt especially.

I caught most of Dollman one time.  I'd never heard of it before.  At first, I was laughing my ass off at how ridiculous it was, but after a while I realized that the movie was taking itself seriously, and it was Tim Thomerson being badass, so I watched the rest of it.

His IMDb page lists over 200 TV and movie roles from the 70's to as recently as 2017, but my favorite was as crazy Lester from Cherry 2000.



Life!

Is!

Adventure!


Yeah, he was a fucking psycho, and a cold-blooded killer, but I do love the attitude.  It's one of my mantras.
