Funny story about this movie.
I went to see this in theatres when it was released with friend of mine, half of the audience walked out during it.
I went again with another friend to see it, same thing happened. Slowly but surely, people just kept leaving mid-showing.
I'm a huge movie afficiando but I have NEVER witnessed same kind of behaviour on any movie ever. Occasional couple people leaving sometimes, but seriously 30 to 50% of audience leaving during the movie is just.. WOW!

I love this movie so much! It's astounding, really.

I think no one told Forrest Gump, cause everyone know this. But let it go, it (like Green Mile) always make me cry, and happy and I always enjoy both films as if I watch it first time. Both are with my favourtie actor Tom Hanks also.
Hmm, I watched Fight Club but when I was like 4, so I don't remember anything about it, I'll try to watch it asap :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup, I didn't find any movie with Tom Hanks that was bad. That's why I love him.

Forrest gump is one of my favourite movies. Honestly must have watched it at least 10 times now and I love it every time!

Spaceballs.
Rick Moranis, John Candy, and Leslie Neilson all together in the same movie? What's not to like.
Comment has been collapsed.
I do ot mind parodies, but SpaceBalls was really wek on being one. There are so many things to pick on in StarWars and SpaceBalls pick on least clever ones. It's an idiot parody.

+1, I loved Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, didn't dig Blade Runner as much (I appreciate it as an adaption despite it...but man, Roy was just too much for me)

It's next in my "to read list", I'll just finish Bill Gate's book "The Road Ahead" first.

I watched it and didn't get it at all. I dunno what I missed but the movie was a whole lot of "I guess this is too deep for me".
Comment has been collapsed.
I really liked both the movie and the novel (read it afterwards) and it's what got me reading Philip K. Dick in high school. I think I've read almost everything he's written by now.

I didn't read any of his books yet, but it's only a matter of time until I start reading. There are so many good books that I want to read, wish I could read faster.

For relatively recent releases, I highly recommend Ex Machina. Too many favourites to pick just one, so a recent release will do.
Comment has been collapsed.
I found Ex Machina too shallow... But maybe it's because last year I got Zero Theorem from Gilliam :>
Comment has been collapsed.
shallow in the way it portraied AI. I may be biased - I read a lot of not only fantasy novels, but sci-fi ones as well, so I encounter AI in my reading fiction a lot. And this AI was just feeling plain compared to what I've read. If we're talking movies-only and human-AI relationships - I find 2013 Her much deeper and much subtle study.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would never have called Ava a shallow character in the slightest. I found her exceptionally complex. And the portrayal of AI in general as complex too, the idea of AI, the future of AI, the challenges of AI, the morals, etc, it was all well explored for me. I haven't seen Her though. So I guess I can't really debate that with you.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you liked portrayal of Ava - go and see Her like RIGHT NOW :D: In Her you never even see a character yet she's few times more deeper developed than Ava ;P
Comment has been collapsed.
On the other hand, Ex Machina was much more realistic, more scientifically accurate than Her.
If someone would mix aesthetics and story from Her with Ex Machinas science, we would get the ultimate AI film.
Comment has been collapsed.
HER has been on my watchlist for awhile,I really need to finally sit down and click "play".
Comment has been collapsed.
I thought Ex Machina was terrific but not because of AI. It didn't feel to me like the AI or the human-AI relationship was the point of the movie. The AI was used to affect the relationship between the two humans. I thought the movie was very good as a psychological thriller, not as a sci-fi drama.

black hawk down or United 93. Watching those for AP homework, both great movies too IMO.
Comment has been collapsed.
I saw Black Hawk down a few days ago, I had never heard about it and I don't really like war movies. I enjoyed it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I suggest "The Usual Suspects".
I will watch "Django Unchained" since its on my Netflix list...
Comment has been collapsed.
The Princess Bride. Read the book too.
Oh, and Battlefield Earth, just so you can make your own decision on whether or not it is really all that bad. I personally like it. (It has quite a comedic value.)
Comment has been collapsed.
I love Battlefield Earth. I could never understand why people disliked it so much. (2.4 on IMDB) It's one of the few movies I can watch over again. Maybe at some point it will be considered a cult classic. But yeah there's definitely some comedic value there. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah fightclub was awesome. It was hard for me to think of a movie that wasn't already mentioned and one that you have not watched yet. 12 Angry Men is a great classic.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1 for Gilliam movie ;) my second favoritue director from the ones that are still alive :)
EDIT - I commented wrong movie ;p but 12 Monkeys are still great :D: just watch a movie and not a shitty TV series ;p
Comment has been collapsed.
Gilliam? Were you thinking of Twelve Monkeys? !2 Angry Men was directed by Sidney Lumet isn't alive anymore.
Comment has been collapsed.
sorry :( guess what I get for quickly responding without proper read at 4 AM ;p
I've seen 12 Angry Men btw, but I see it as a good movie, but nothing more :(
also deleted previous comment, because I'm an idiot ;p sorry ;p
Comment has been collapsed.
Should keep it there. Twelve Monkeys was a masterpiece too! There's a TV series remake coming soon as well. Hope it'll be good.
Comment has been collapsed.
sadly it's not... I watched 2/3 of the season and couldn't bare any more of it... It's the asic idea turned into modern TV series, without any mystery or depth associated with it at all :(
Comment has been collapsed.
also ok, undeleted comment and just added an edit ;p

+1 for 12 Angry Men! Read the original for high school English class and watched the original B&W movie too...pure class

Heh, this just got mentioned by someone in a giveaway I did where I asked for classic film recommendations. Must agree it's a great piece of film-making.

Matrix, coz theres hidden thruts out there, ready to be found, if you take the red pill
"You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." The term redpill refers to a human that is aware of the true nature of the Matrix."

it would be the movie defining a generation if they wouldn't make unneccessary sequels...

its paradoxal, i mean it did/it is, for those looking for answers

I really loved Matrix, don't get me wrong. It was my fav movie as a teenager, and it would remain so - if not for all the sequels. Because all the sequels did was to overthrow all the deep theories people came up with with the first movie and turn them into another mindless action movie.
I will still hold Matrix deep in my heart, as it was a movie, that taught me understand spoken english :D: When it came out - there was barely any serious internet in my caountry and surely no sub-groups - so I ended watchin it over and over again (my uncle from capital coty who had good internet connection DLed it) as a young teenager without any subs and ended up learning a lot from it :D:

There are so many good classics... But since I was just thinking about this movie earlier today... 2010 Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I'll add one other because I just looked at my poster above my station - TRAINSPOTTING! And even if you don't like the theme - watch first 3 minutes - best monologue in history :>
Comment has been collapsed.
and as we talked about best monologues - second best one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgL_5QcZCMo . Also anything from Stan Lee (director of linked one) is freaking genious ;p

I loved this movie as a teen, although I haven't watched any other Irvine Welch adaptations.

Watchmen, WATCH IT MAN IT'S BRILLIANT ! Okay, please don't bl me, bad puns shouldn't be a reason to bl someone :(
I added The Usual Suspects to my torr- .. I mean watchlist.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1 for Watchmen. This movie makes all Avengers, X-Men or even Dark Knight looks like a kids story. Best and most aserious/adult comic adaptation ever.

The graphic novel is a thousand times better though:P
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not a fan of American Comic per se, so it wouldbn't be for me ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Not American at all, Moore is from the UK:)
Also I see you've mentioned Gilliam a few times. <3 his work, especially Brazil. Have you seen the documentary Lost in La Mancha? I kind of want to see it but I hear it's rather unpleasant.
Comment has been collapsed.
Bah. Better read the graphic novel instead.
The movie screws over characterizations in so many ways it's not funny.
That, and the book version does more to push the boundaries of it's medium, with it's interludes and all - one of the things that make it great instead of just good.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, missed so much subtext and even skipped entire subplots. Alan Moore already regretted letting them do adaptations of his work, fairly sure Watchman is what made him refuse to allow any further ones, though.

I seriously hated that movie. Way too much hype, I never even smiled in that movie. I don't see the point, how is that a good movie again ?
Seriously, which aspect of that movie you people love ?
Comment has been collapsed.
But in all honesty, it's a lot like Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson to me. Some things in life are sometimes more than just chance, and although they can seem absurd and bizarre they are all linked together no matter how crazy that may seem. Don't just look at it for the one liners or the pot smoking that a lot of people seem to like it for, actually read into the subtle nuiances of the characters - Walter who is a know it all yet is always right (literally, he is spot on with everything in the movie) to Donnie and his pacifism/fear being what keeps him alive yet ends up being his greatest enemy (The only time he doesn't throw a strike and feels a little off, even though if you watch they never throw a ball they only imply they are bowling...which is a whole different story). Without spoiling far too much of the film and actually breaking it down here I can't say much more but I do love this film, not as my drop dead greatest film of all time but it is an absolute top 10 for me.
And all The Dude wanted was his rug back...it really tied the room together.

Easy. Name 1, pick 1 and watch it. Can be a classic, and indie movie, a short film or your favorite movie.
I really think that everyone should watch Fight Club. A life-changing film.
Now its YOUR turn.
