A lot of people here commenting seem complwtely oblivious to the fact that the CGI RE movies have been a thing for quite some time and are infinitely better than any of the absolute shitshows of the live action adaptations.

Adaptation

I have never had another movie end that just left me sitting there wondering about everything I just saw

[deleted]

That whole dialogue in that scene was improvised, I heard.

One of my favorite Scorsese movies and also, IMO, one of his most underrated.

Thanks that's all very interesting.

Ahh that's an interesting take

Yeah she was well established but in secondary roles, it was when Black Widow (THE MOVIE) was still an idea only.

Warner Bros. let the Wachowski's make The Matrix after they proved they can make/direct a movie by giving them Bound. They even had preliminary bullet-time tech in Bound. They did the movie band it led to getting The Matrix

I love Meg Tilly.

The movie is not great, but the dreamy aspect to Tilly's performance works really well.

It explains her actions, and it explains Jake Berman's motivation.

The movie doesn't work if Kitty is an ordinary woman.

I also think she's the best thing in Psycho II.

The problem with both movies is that lightning doesn't strike twice. You can't will a classic sequel to a classic movie into existence.

It's the same with 2010: The Year We Make Contact, Jaws 2, Rocky II.

Most great sequels to a classics movie are either a natural continuation of the story or an ambitious re-imagining.

The Expendables. Say what you will but this movie does exactly what it sets out to do, and it does it very well.

What are interstellar and night crawler on?

I'm 48, and I remember when going to the movies didn't promise anything other than a bit of fun, and that was what I was in for. Otherwise, what I gained from them was a sense of structure, ideas that opened up my own imagination and on the odd occasion, a bit of education. Even a screwball comedy like Porky's is dumb fun, even if it's offensive and sometimes lame.

TV and gaming has virtually replaced cinema as entertainment, though I'll argue that cinema is superior because one can take years to produce a really good movie. The quality shows through when done right.

I prefer episodic tidbits on TV, which is also done away with, but making a comeback in the better shows. The Last of Us seems to be getting this right. By "episodic," I mean that there might be one overarcing plot, but you can distinguish one episode from the other because of events that happen and the characters that get focus. Very dialogue-heavy, and the motivations would be made clear through this method. You used to know Star Trek episodes by their name.

I mean, I could go on forever on the topic, and give you my top 100, but it looks like others are pouring it on. If you ever are looking for a specific subgenre film, or have a favourite, come and talk to me. I can always steer you towards more material of similar substance.

I’ve always got a “to be watched” stack yay high (literally in the past, figuratively these days). Doesn’t bother me too much, I figure a lot of bookworms and gamers have their “stacks” too.

(Fun fact: apparently, an over-excited Clancy Brown came alarmingly close to actually decapitating Sean Connery on-set. Which, not a great moment as an actor -- Connery stormed off the set and had to be coaxed back -- but it does hint that Brown is almost as frightening IRL as his character was.)

Some modern classics:

• Inception

• Prisoners

• Nightcrawler

• Interstellar

• This is the End

• Looper

• Parasite

• Mad Max: Fury Road

Fantastic list! 10/10

Dead Ringers

In fairness, Apollo Creed is generally not the most likeable in all the Creed films. Philanderer who couldn't stop fighting and left his wife to raise his illegitimate kid. Which is why, for as amazing as the Creed films are, I hope it does end with a solid "I lived my dream. Now I am going to retire and spend time with my family" to show that the cycle has been broken.

​

But yeah, bog standard "the protagonist is whoever I relate to the most" stupidity.

Crimes of the Future

• Nightcrawler

• Prisoners

• Don't breathe

• This is the End

• The Invisible Man

• 10 Cloverfield Lane

• Inception

• Mad Max: Fury Road

Surprised I haven’t seen Oldboy (2003) yet.

You know, /r/psymunn, this illness, this closeness to death... it's had a profound affect on me. I feel like a different person, I really do.

I felt the pacing was off as well as it being too long. Kind of dragged on for me.

Repo Men (2010). Starring Jude Law, Forest Whitaker

If these speculations you offer are valid, they should be included in the film's narrative. Otherwise, Rose is depicted as someone who views others as pure utility. This includes the exploration crew who helicoptered her in to help them find the necklace. Fat neckbeard is portrayed to be a selfish pig, but he's actually right to be upset with her. Paxton's character on the other hand looks like a romantic fool.

Her granddaughter is standing right there while Rose talks about a man other than her grandfather. I don't know about you, but if my grandmother started talking about some mystery boyfriend from long before I was born, I'd feel really weird about her.

I love/am attracted to all kinds of people for various reasons at various levels of intensity, but my spouse is my #1 heart and my hero. I can reminisce all I want about past loves, but the person who put years of time, affection, patience and memories into me absolutely must be the love of my life. Nothing could supersede that on a human timeline.
