Oooh directed by the writer of Mississippi burning? Sign me up

Will do, thanks

It could have been Everything Everywhere All at Once if he had accepted the role, though I think Michelle Yeoh was a ringer for the role.

btw, Rush Hour 4 is on the way...

Because he can curl more than he can row at that angle (IE chin-ups are easier than pull-ups).

Being John Malkovich

Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind.

…(and pretty much any Woody Allen movie)

I love the Shanghai Knights/Noon movies. I quite liked Around the world in 80 days. Tuxedo was so dumb but fun at the time, not seen it in ages.

Can I just say that I hate how super strength or a strength difference is shown in most movies especially when it's bad guy fighting good guy?

You don't whack someone and they fly across the room. If you were super strong or faster or whatever you'd hit someone and cave a hole in their chest or completely crush their face in like it was Riki-Oh.

I do like a good old Rambo throat rip. That sure took myself and others by surprise when we saw that in theatres.

I don't know about it being his "last" good movie, but 2009's The Shinjuku Incident was really good.

Give Citizen X a try.

Mars Attacks

One day someone will love me as much as Chrissy-Nolly loves a ticking clock.

It's The Foreigner. Which surprises me because that movie didn't take super long to film.

Wish Dragon was pretty good.

Flatliners (1990) The Ending when they’re trying to revive ,Nelson(Kiefer Sutherland).Nelson dies ,but gets forgiveness from the boy he stoned to death and his brought back to life. He wakes up and whispers,”"It wasn't such a good day to die.” Which goes back to the opening scene, when he proudly says,”Today is a good day to die.”

Ocean’s 11 and all the sequels have an ensemble cast.

Cannonball Run.

Bullet Train.

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

A tad off-topic, but I feel like Joker was essentially Taxi Driver and KoC. I saw the film and didn’t get anything new from it aside from wrapping it in comic book characters.

I agree with KoC. I was really turned off by his acting at first but I agree that it was good.

Remove distractions from the room (especially a phone) and watch a foreign film with subtitles (that way you HAVE to pay attention).

Check out Green Room (2015) it’s a gripping thriller from a great director, and, best of all, it’s only 95 minutes!

Still Police Story is for me the ultimate Jackie movie. Comedy Romance revenge and obviously the stunts. I still shudder at the poor Stuntmen during the bus sudden break scene

The Matrix

Agree. Loved them both. They where more of an ensemble. Little Miss Sunshine and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel come to mind.

A fellow Shanghai noon fan eh? It’s the movie I always watch when I’m sick.

In the modern MCU era it really reminds me of those films quite a bit.

It was love letter to Chinese Kung Fu movies and the soundtrack was Goat

Honestly I've had a great time just going down the Letterboxd Most Popular list, keeping in mind there will be a recency bias.

The first 12 movies you would see (assuming you've seen none) would be:

Parasite

Knives Out

Everything Everywhere

Joker

The Batman

Fight Club

Pulp Fiction

Midsommar

Get Out

Spider-Verse

Inception

Whiplash

Which is just a solid list of very accessible bangers with one or two more contentious ones that nevertheless give a great starting point for enjoying films.

It's one of his favorites, too.
