Pretty good western, very entertaining, varied in expression and style. I lol'd a few times. Tells its tale with the right ammount of tension, humor and a wonderfully played out machismo.
Suicide Club
Hah! That one requires a justification!

Intense exchange of attacks into the sensitive parts. Power games, romance, war time stories and more, with mainly just two (pretty good) actors and one location.
The end was quite a letdown for me. Personally I would have preferred an actual sex scene, filmed on hand camera.
>>3
schoolgirls + fast-moving trains = GOOD MOVIE
That's just one scene, though. I'll admit there's lots of other awesome scenes in that movie, but the latter half is just dumb!
Ping Pong
It's a movie about tabletennis; you can't possibly go wrong with that!
Breakfast at Tiffany's.
I'm such an Audrey Hepburn fanboy :(
I just saw Blueberry, which seems to be the western movie equivalent of 2001. I never got around to reading Moebius' original comics, but I doubt they were as utterly trippy as the movie.
Also, I only got 70% on Support Item. <-- Only two people will get this joke.

A nice comedy about a loser in Iceland getting his comfortable life at his mother's home significantly stirred up and further reinstating my opinion that all movies from Iceland about Iceland are awesome.
"Merci pour le chocolat" ("Nightcap" int. title)
by Claude Chabrol.

I think it's the best role Isabelle Huppert has had the chance to have a go at so far. She fits the role well, and her acting is superior. The plot is generally stable and has only a few flaws, which are rather easy to overlook with a bit of goodwill.
Even if you don't get the snide side blows Chabrol is constantly dishing out, it's still a very good film. An additional praliné is the appearance of Jacques Dutronc, whom you may or may not primarily know as a musician. Watch in original language if possible, it's much better.

For those who don't know Sherlock Holmes story this movie is based on and even for those who know it this piece from 1939 holds a significant ammount of tension, suspense, humor and old-fashioned charm mixed in a very well directed manner. Worth a try.
it seems like this thread is more about the most awesome movie you've ever seen. at least, i'd be awfully surprised if you're all just now getting around to watching the '39 hound of the baskervilles or breaktfast at tiffany's.
if indeed this is a favorite movie thread, then i'll have to go with magnolia by paul anderson.

i do enjoy the plot, but to be honest what always blows me away the most is the cinematography and audio work. watching the movie in a theater with thx sound always gives me vertigo. there are all these really odd background noises that are always moving around and that distract you from whats going on on screen and the movie just seems to continually surprise you... not with substance, but with presence. i've never watched any other movie that provoked such a strong physiological response.
as far as the best movie i've seen recently, well, i haven't seen any good new movies recently. i didn't like the zissou movie, i didn't like lemony snicket (though the credits were something to write home about), i didn't like the village, or signs or unbreakable (though i did like 6th sense), i found that stephen king movie about the aliens that take over your brain by crawling into your anus pretty hilarious, but my girlfriend was not impressed. i didn't particularly like the last lord of the rings movie... perhaps thats a fine way to end a book, but it was shit as far as a movie goes. i didn't enjoy any of the matrix movies past the first one (the first one had 2 questions: what is the nature of reality, is neo the messiah? i was never interested in the 2nd question, but it was the sole focus for the rest of the series) the last movie i liked enough to purchase was kill bill 2, which was pretty good.
by the way, gothika is the worst movie i ever saw on a date. i was totally going to have sex that night, but after the whole raping-torturing-and-snuffing-children bit, i indeed did not get any. also the title is terrible.
> i'd be awfully surprised if you're all just now getting around to watching the '39 hound of the baskervilles
DUN DUN DUN
Well, I did. First time comes once for everyone.
Btw, thread for most awesome movie ever is here: http://4-ch.net/tv/kareha.pl/1104550427
12 Angry Men (1957)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050083/
The reason why Group Dynamics 101 is actually a pretty cool class.
I keep reading that as 12 Monkeys, which I liked a lot. But it was not the Last Awesome Movie I Saw.
What was Last Awesome Movie You Saw?
I've been trying to remember ever since this thread started.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071249/
Intense story about a man becoming a man, 21 dead people, a head of a dead man, 21 million dollar and a women.
> 21 million dollar
That's ONE million dollar!
But still - frickin' Peckinpah owns me.
Beyond the Clouds, although it could've used a plot in the second half.
I just watched this movie.
This is awesome and wicked!!!
I'm quite sure that you guys probably like thisヽ(ﾟ∀｡)ﾉ
It got pretty bad reviews @ http://4-ch.net/anime/
last as in most recent greatest movie that i saw was Falling Down, it was pretty nice, i recomend it.
Just last night I watched Shimotsuma Monogatari (Viz is going to release it under the title "Kamikaze Girls") and I enjoyed myself immensely.
http://imdb.com/title/tt0416220/
At first glance it looks like a goofy live action adaptation of a manga -- which it is. But it also manages to tell a pretty good story about two girls who are polar opposties, and the things that have made them the way they are. There are plenty of funny and WTF moments, but it's also kind of touching.
The thing I found a little surprising is that the store where Momoko gets her Lolita style dresses is real. I thought maybe that whole scene was a little passe by now, but I guess now.
On TV? dunno, haven't watched for more than a year.
Cinema? Must have been the Kill Bill double feature.
Last good movie I`ve watched on DVD would be "Dune".
Dune, you mean the Lynch version? Yeah, that one is pretty neat.
It could have been a lot better if Giger had gotten the OK to make the designs, as it was originally planned.

http://www.duneinfo.com/unseen/giger.asp
Yup the Lynch one
Pirate of Carribean, haven't watch anything lately :O, no good movies lately anyway
"Batman Begins" was pretty good, except for the fighting scenes.
Also, the dub was horrible.
>>33
I agree that Batman Begins was brilliant. They used less CGI and more modelling in this one, and it really did show. Everything looks just a bit less like some kind of fractal hallucination. And the acting was actually GOOD for a change.
But the fight scenes were just odd.
I think that they may have trying to emphasize that there was just something unearthly about Bats, showing us only some of the fight scenes' informaiton to try and make the brain fill in that the guy was just EVERYWHERE.
>>33,34
me thinks christopher nolan just isn't interested in batty's fight scenes, and just put those scenes in there to please the studio execs. his other movies don't have any mentionable fight scenes, he's probably better off directing dramas and thrillers.
The Island, not too bad
hm, last awesome movie? Red Eye...
Bankok Loco... it was awsome and oh so very wierd. really cool cinamatography, too
Watched Shaun of the dead... AGAIN!
Best movie ever!ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ )ﾉ
Nochnoy dozor
I saw a movie made in Tajikistan, it's about a criminal who comes back from Moscow to his village in Tajikistan where he has lots of debts. But it's not gangster movie. In America it's called "Angel on the Right".
"Einstein's brain" by BBC 1994.
Kind of "hilarious" documentary.
It's just funny if it's not documentary.
I'm doubting it's real or not, but not a single information
on Internet to mension it's just a fiction.
Doom 2005
Directed by
Andrzej Bartkowiak
Starring Karl Urban and The Rock
Rated R in the United States
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419706/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9RG9vbXxmdD0xfG14PTIwfGxtPTUwMHxjbz0xfGh0bWw9MXxubT0x;fc=1;ft=103;fm=1
Doom is a tale of good and evil based on the video game Doom by http://www.idsoftware.com . At the outset it is a mission to mars to quarantine a research facility that has been assaulted by an unknown entity. Doom is an action/sci-fi thriller where not everything is as it seems. The Rock plays Sarge who is a marine special ops commander in the 2020 decade who with his team of special forces is requested to quarantine and retrieve data from the research facility. The head of the facility Dr. Carmack is assaulted by something in the opening sequence of the film. Later it is apparent that they an undead creature that can adapt their victims to the environment. Within the marine regiment are troops who are incapable of following the orders of command due to stress and performance enhancing drugs. A mutiny occurs and things just generally go haywire.
did anyone like King Kong?
In the past few months I've seen the following awesome movies:
Infernal Affairs (catch it now before the Hollywood remake)
Old Boy
Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit
I recently saw the often overlooked classic of Finnish cinema Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses and holy shit, it's like they took Leningrad Cowboys Go America and made it twice as awesome. Everybody who hasn't already needs to see both of those films.
King Kong was sweet, but the begining was boring and took a long time to get to the good parts
Corpse Bride
Schindler's List, its a masterpiece!
Kikujiro
Directed by Taseshi Kitano
Excellent!!!
>>52
Kikujiro is really awesome! In my opinion the best Kitano film and one of the best films I've seen. Too bad I've mispalced my copy when I moved(;´Д｀).I miss it so very much!
You might want to check out 'Nine Souls' directed by Toshiaki Toyoda. Another awesome road movie.
