The scene where he's shadowboxing(?) in front of Rabbit and his hair is blowing in the wind, always makes me crack up.

Reply to Best strength scenes in movies. by Jackamo78
Ellen Ripley going into hell and darkness to save Newt in Aliens is one of my favorite scenes ever because it shows that strength is not just physical, it is your will to act that is stronger!

Reply to I keep end up disliking good films simply because all the characters are sad degenerate fucks and I hate them for it. Is there a trick to liking these kinds of films? by KellyKellogs
So it feels like you have some anger issues. You can dislike these movies or characters but that you're so emotionally bothered by them is on you. Your response is not proportional to the fact you're watching movies.
So first and foremost you might want to sit with this fact and try to figure out why you're so angry. Second once you figure this out it is perfectly okay to dislike movies with unredeemable characters. Just because a movie is a classic doesn't mean you need to like it. There are plenty of classics I just don't like. However hopefully once you reach this point you'll have found some peace and you won't be angry over movies.

Murder by Decree - 1979, starring Christopher Plummer and James Mason as Holmes and Watson - very well written and nicely atmospheric.
Also, not a movie but speaking of Sherlock Holmes, have you seen the British Sherlock Holmes TV series which was broadcast from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s? Jeremy Brett stars as Holmes. Very highly recommended, particularly the first two seasons. Here's a list of the series and episodes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sherlock_Holmes_episodes

No fucking way did I think I’d see Our Little Sister in this thread! It’s the film that made me fall in love with cinema, and I could watch it a million times over and still feel the same about it.

I looked your take, but your experience made me cry. I can't imagine what you went through but to have that precious moment to carry with you after he was gone is beyond words.

He spends the first hour of the movie and 3 in-movie days insulting, berating and dehumanising his autistic brother. I found it very upsetting to watch it happen for such an extended period of the film.

It's probably not what you're asking about, but:
In "The Shining," when Jack first goes to the Overlook Hotel to meet his employer, he walks through the lobby and into the middle of the building. Yet when he enters Ullman's office, it has a window to the outside. It couldn't happen based on the layout of the building. But I believe Kubrick used this "fundamental mistake" (and several others throughout the film) to unsettle the viewer subconsciously.

Reply to comment by Pope00 in Are violent crazy concept movies the next big thing? by TylerSpicknell
I love following the MCU storyline And feel like they've done the best job possible adapting comics and never want it to end but I really wish they'd go darker, more like 90s blade and an fox X-Men or damn near any dc film. I'm tired of all MCU properties feeling the same.
Edit: and ya I wish there was more successful film outside of comic book movies, I'm also not the biggest fan of the trend op is talking about because I don't feel like I'd like the movies any more than laughing at the idea which I can get from the trailer just as much as the movie but I agree it may be evidence that the movie audience as a whole may want something new and fresh that's not comic book related

Nearly every joke in Black Dynamite is a plot device since each actor is playing both a fictional actor and a role (Michael Jai White as Ferrante Jones starring as Black Dynamite).

That whole movie was a set up for the very very very good "I'm from the IRS" punchline and was totally worth it.

Animation wise, yes. Story wise, not really. It deviates heavily from the book to the point it's really in name and concept only. Most of the story is about Pinocchio and other kids being trained to go to war and also how Pinocchio is immortal and hangs out with death

Reply to How do you feel about movies with main stars that were cancelled / or had done nefarious things in the past? I post this after having watched American Beauty tonight. by Fischer_Jones
I manage to separate the art from the artist, in other words I'm more than happy to watch Spacey's movies such as the excellent L.A. Confidential, K-Pax, Seven, etc. He was a great actor and there were a lot of other people involved in the making of those movies besides Spacey, should people stop watching them just because of him?
You also have to ask yourself where you draw the line. How many movies should we avoid watching because one person involved in the production has done something illegal?
Look at Die Hard - director John McTiernan has served prison time for lying to an FBI investigator and perjury (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McTiernan#Criminal_charges,_felony_conviction,_and_incarceration), in which case should we all stop watching Die Hard and his other movies? Of course not.
