Movie Suggestions

I've just started getting into movies. They're pretty good, who knew? I liked Law Abiding Citizen, Gran Torino, Up...

So don't suggest comedies. Story only. Final Destination. Is Final Destination a good movie?

That depends what you are into. If it's story, then no. They all (there's what, 4 or so now?) lack a decent story, and the plot is the damn same every time. Some kids escape death, and then they are later killed in unavoidable and ridiculously complicated manners. It's fun to watch, if you enjoy a movie that's mostly special effects and idiot kids dying, but other than that it holds no merit.

yea final destination isn't all that great. The first one is ok, but the fact that they introduce new rules in how death takes people and then not go anywhere with it will more than likely piss you off since you like plot.

short list:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Unleashed with Jet Li was a nice surprise. Very overlooked

Old Boy is a must for plot [even if they changed the original ending]

The Departed gets pretty tangled [in a good way]

Three Extremes is a very good horror movie. Each story just as unsettling as the last

Hansel & Gretel [2007 korean film] nicely done. The name of the movie is a bit [read: a lot] misleading to the actual plotline of the movie.

Sonotine basically life as a yakuza.

hmmm, is there a genre you are looking for? Or are you willing to take anything?

for good story...i recommend these...


The Prestige by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight)


The Count of Monte Cristo...based on the novel with same title by Alexandre Dumas, père...you'll like this movie...8)


The Curious Case of Benjamin Button...weird disease...


Slumdog Millionaire...i hate watching Indian movie...but this one is the best of all


How To Train Your Dragon...this animated movie just came out last March...i dare to say its the best movie of 2010...8)

hope you'll
find it,
watch it,
enjoy it...8)...adios

I been watching TMC and AMC a lot lately. lots of old good movies. one movie i like that seems to be a bit unknown(to most people i've talked to anyway), "lock, stock, and two smoking barrels". it's a british movie, kind of similar to "snatch", also a good movie. "boondock saints" is another good one, i've not seen the sequel yet. an old film nior i like, "sunset boulevard". the "evil dead" trilogy. "yojimbo", "fistful of dollars", "last man standing", in that order.

i'll be back to add more as i remember them later.

Oh man Old Boy is fucked up and cool...gotta nice twist to it.

I highly recommend "Cube".

That one's good too.

The story may be clichéd now, but Star Wars is still as awesome as ever.

Yeah. You may not believe it, but there are still some people that haven't watched Star Wars yet. orz

Say it isn't so! What blasphemy!

My suggestion: Ounce upon a Time in The West(Has the most badass character theme ever)

Thanks guys. I have a lot to choose from for now so I won't be needing any more for now.



I guess I'd be good with any but comedy... or horror; quality is an issue to me so for now... nothing that is old or anything.

Gah, I get those people all the time. T_T Darn gits don't know what they're missing. ;_;

I also suggest Stand by Me (All time favourite movie) and the Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy (preferably the Extended Editions over Theatrical).

I remember my friend let me borrow those movies a few years ago, but they're so long. All three is about nine hours right?

1001 movies to see before you die

Here's a link to a list of movie that said to be "movies to see before you die"....just like the link says

Someone should try to watch all this movie. If they live through the experience and still can function like they usual do; then, they could become the ulimate movie critic. A god like critic that outranks Siskel and Ebert in the field of movie ranking.

Thats the one.

I'll just throw out some movies I think you should check out.

Shooting Dogs*
Burma VJ*
American History X
Requiem for a Dream
Boondock Saints

And you should check out some classics like Casablanca and 12 Angry Men, good stuff.

I highly recommend these two. Shooting Dogs is about the genocide of Rwanda in 1991, very realistic and very good.

Trailer


Burma VJ is a documentary about the riots in Burma 2007, and what triggered it. All footage is from my understanding the genuine footage from illegal video journalists who have tried to document what was going on.

Trailer


Both movies are really worthwhile. They might not be among the best made or those that I enjoyed the most, but definitely those that invoked the most emotion in me, due to their true stories.

Old? What the-? It's from 1997.

And I wouldn't really consider it a b-movie. Don't know about a fourth dimension neither, did you just spoiler me fore Cube 2 and Cube 0?

12 angry man is one of my all time favorites, and it all takes place in one room(Well besides the opening and ending..)!
