Film Recommendation

[Gmnotutoo]

I've recently picked up films again, been watching quite a few and I've ran out of good films to see. You guys feel like recommending some good films to me?

Themes I like:

• Science - Fiction

The director is David Bowie's son. That family knows a thing or two about space.

^Moon is an excellent Sci-Fi.

Pandora, too, though it's more action-based; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1188729/

masterpiece. Didn't watch that in a long time. Guess I'll check out Pusher.

Have you watched Thomas Vinterberg's newest drama, with Mads Mikkelsen 'Jagten' (the Hunt)? It's warmly recommended, too.

You've probably seen it but... The 13th Warrior.

My favorite movie. Some might find it silly or corny but that goes for most films directed by John McTiernan. And I like those movies.

Actually, I prefer movies from the 80s and 90s over more recent blockbusters. Modern movies are are trying to be too serious and failing in the process (couldn't finish Dark Knight Rises because I started laughing uncontrollably in second half of the movie).

There are many good movies but instead of recommending some of them I'll tell you what to avoid. Do not watch movies directed by J.J. Abrams, they are pure, refined crap.

This I agree with!

The 13th Warrior is a great, entertaining movie!

Oh god don't even start about the modern Batman. If I have to listen to Bale pulling off his Batman impression again, ahahaha.

Actually I prefer 80-90's stuff more as well. Less nonsense, no CGI, et cetera.

Here's one that I watched on TV a few days ago, although it has Pacino in it as the main character, I've never even heard of it.

Check it if you haven't already, it's not what you'd expect, keeps you interested throughout because of how it's written.

I'm really not up-to date when it comes to movies though, so a lot of things are unknown for me.

None of your genres but try watching The Wire, best tv show ever made.

[Kalam]

The Wire was awesome.

I see Winding-Refn was mentioned, so I can't help but mention Drive.

Thriller wise, Side Effects was pretty freakin' good.

Headhunters was great as well.

And yeah Torben, you can never go wrong with Danny Boyle movies.

i think it's time to see Firefly , all saying it's an awesome series but i'm scared to watch new series after breaking bad , really i was addicted to it that i can't wait till the next season...sòkjnlfdjjfljf

Babylon 5:
One of the greatest sci-fi TV series around. Grew up watching it. [/spoiler]

What you've watched it during the age of 4-8 ? 

[Necrorave]

Thriller: One I already mentioned in another post.  The movie Zero Day is based off the Columbine Massacre.  Shot in a "Video diaries" or found films and security footage style.  Definitely a move that will make your shiver a bit.

Sci-fi: It is not an amazing movie but it is a personal favorite of mine since I was a kid.  Titan A.E.  Basic idea but it is a fun movie and was quite good for its time.

Tell me what you think if you decide to watch either.

Titan A.E was a childhood favorite of mine. Might be the first time I was exposed to Joss Whedon, too. Not sure if that or Buffy hit me first.

Phase 7 was pretty good if you speak Spanish or don't mind reading subtitles:

It didn't get very good ratings, but the plot and the characters were believable and pretty realistic, a good movie over all.  I'm a large fan of the post-apocalypse sub-genre and all of it's own branches, so if anyone has any other good Post-Apoc movies please let me know.





Cloud Atlas fucking blew my mind, I loved it, I really didn't think I would but damn it was well written.

I love the idea that they put behind the movie, some people will be skeptic I'm sure, but I found it remotely believable.  The acting was great, the way everything tied together in the long run was also pretty god damned fascinating.

[BASNAK]

Movies:

District 9:
Apartheid in South Africa. Except this time with crab people and humans. Strongly recommend if you're looking for a slightly different take on the sci-fi genre.

I watched the movie it was great, I hope they make a sequel. I also hate humans now after finishing the movie.

[Lannistark]

Okay I watched a couple of films up to now. I had already heard about Cloud Atlas being a crazy piece of work, but I didn't really know what people meant until I saw it. This is the film I have enjoyed the most up to date. Absolutely weirdo script 

[Tibe]

Kung Fu Hustle
Another kung fu actionfilm, that I swear to god also parodies other kung fu films with messed up over the top fightscenes and stands perfectly on its own with ridiculous comedy. There is a fat landlord lady who doesnt allow her tennants to use water and who apparently also knows kung fu......

RocknRolla
I seriuslly liked this movie. Especially for its style. Its also got this wild rockstar feeling to it, like getting away with a serius crime is the best feeling in the world and cocking up and getting beaten to death isnt really so tragical.

The Devil's Double
Some dude gets to be Saddam Hussein's sons double. Ye ye ye...has absolutely nothing to do 'murican HOORAAmarines. A pretty damn good movie imo. I enjoyed it alot. Also the trailer for this movie....fucking awesome, definately watch the trailer below!

(click to show/hide)

Series? Well I do like Person of Interest. Sry, there is no good trailer for this one.

 After watching 2 seasons of it im seriuslly hooked. The mainchars are some ex-specops-spy-marine-op guy and a rich secret presumed dead IThackerengineer dude who invented "the machine", who basically team up to save people whose murder or crime commitment the machine predicts. The machine is basically a program that spies on everybody, everywhere to detect acts of terrorism. Ehh...its complex. Watch it, its good.
