movies

[crisis]

I know I moaned about the "whats your favorite this and that" type of threads and favorite movies is not entirely original, but I want to try to start a list of your favorite "out there" type films. Not Lord of the rings or terminator but films like A clockwork Orange and things that others may not have seen that left an impression on you.
A couple of my favorites are 2001 (another Kubrik) and Blue Velvet by David Lynch. I like films that are just a bit more clever than me or ones I nearly undertand. Things that mess with you brain or are really uncomfortable to watch in a disturbing kind of way. Im having therapy for it.

[baddabang]

my favorite movies are the first two tremmors movies. i didnt like the third one or the series. but i dont know if ne one you know there but lets see the sum of all fears, rollerball (nice use of cars in that movie) and riegn of fire

man you should work on your website in stead of writing down these impressive lists :D

[NoOne]

Crisis, A Clockwork Orange is a must see, the first time I tried to watch it I turned it off because there is a lot of made up langauge, that made it difficult to watch ... slang type version of russian and gypsytype references and casual rhyming of words.

But after giving it another watch, admittedly a year or so later, I realized the langauge wasn't as important as the message being portrayed. It is and has remained my all time favourite movie, aside from the fact there are still comments/phrases used that I still can't quite comprehend.

Up there in favorite movies are American History X another movie that forces you to put yourself into the main character'sworld, even moreso if you have ever known or at least been exposed to someone blinded by rascism.

And finally The Blues Brothers, cheer for the underdog !!!

So if I could only own 3 movies, this would be them.

[Batmobile_Turbo]

anyone seen O Brother Where art Thou?

[Wouter Melissen]

anyone seen O Brother Where art Thou?

I'm quite sure this wasn't directed at me ..

[henk4]

2001, Space Odyssey, just for the opening scene

[Batmobile_Turbo]

I'm quite sure this wasn't directed at me ..
just asking if anyone saw it because it's a very good/funny movie.

[crisis]

2001, Space Odyssey, just for the opening scene
I loved it all plus the sequels. Love the concept.

[elmajul]

I think one of those is a recently movie called dot the "i" with Gael Garcia, its amazing you wont believe the end :D

[Batmobile_Turbo]

I loved it all plus the sequels. Love the concept.
did they make movies for all four books? i've read all of them....i'm such a nerd

[Homem de Gelo]

There's a Brazilian movie/documentary named 'Edifício Master'. It's very simple, the director decided to visit this huge condo-building at Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, and interview some of the residents. The thing is that there must be a thousand or more apartments in the building, and they are all very small, having only the kitchen, bathroom and a bedroom/livingroom.

So the director interviewed hundreds of people, including prostitutes who live there, people from the country who moved to the big city to try get a better life, retired people, basically, all kinds of people, INCLUDING MY SISTER, who lives there alone.

Now this happened back in 2001, which was a terrible year for my sister. At the week she was interviewed, she had just lost her boyfriend a her job. Add to that the fact that she has some depressive tendencias and imagine someone who hadn't left the apartment in some 3 days.

The interview was very strange, as my sister, who has always not been fond of taking pictures, recording her voice of being shot on camera, decided to give the entire interview without loking straight at the camera. She talked and replied to the questions made, and she talked about herself and her family, our mother, her step father and my dad, my brother and me. And she also talked about loneliness in the middle of the crowds of huge cities like Rio de Janeiro and read a poem she made, very good one, by the way.

It was very strange to watch it, certainly made me feel terribly uncomfortable, and I also noticed the people in the movies would say 'wow, she's strange', which pissed me off because she's not like that anymore and I never liked to see people say those things about her.

Anyhow, she was only one of the people interviewed and the entire film is worth watching. It gives us a raw view of completely normal people who walk by us in the streets and we never smile, greet or care about.

You won't find this movie easily in other countries, but watch it if you have the chance.

Oh, and another Brazilian movie that kicks ass is City of God. It's violent as hell, you see lots of blood and shooting, and even though it's only a movie, beleive me, those things happen for real here in Brazil. City of God is a must see, no matter who you are, where you live and what you do.

[DasModell]

Alright, I'll probably forget a couple, listed by Director:

Greenfingers
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Through the Eyes of Tammy Faye
Amelie
Billy Elliott
Go
Gods and Monsters

[crisis]

Na, only the secong one. I read the books to. Try Arthur C Clarks Rama series too.

[Ferrari Tifosi]

Sorry, not trying to bring up dead threads, but never got a chance to post in here, and there's no sense in making another thread.

In no particular order

1.Reqiuem For A Dream (addiction is the theme, and a powerful one at that)
2.Memento (a real thinker, blink and you're lost, but a great movie though)
3.Butterfly Effect (thought it had a good concept behind it)
4.Dr. Strangelove (great movie)
5.Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (One of my Favorite movies and its based on a great book, Hunter S. Thompson is a great writer)
6. Leaving Las Vegas (one of Nicolas Cage's bests)
7. Monty Python: The Holy Grail (not far out there, but damn funny)

[junaman]

This thread is a bit dead...
but nice movies there Ferrari Tifosi.

I liked most of Peter Sellers films, especially the PInk Panther movies.
Monty Python too. Its hahlarious!!!

[UK CARS]

Billy Elliott, lol.

[Matt]

Billy Elliott, lol.

I'll kill you and your poor taste in movies.

[Misho]

I'll kill you and your poor taste in movies.

i watched that movie during a trans-atlantic flight and let me tell you that if it was 5 minutes longer than what it is, i would have used that useless emergency exit and yellow life vest !!

[VtecMini]

My favourite 'out there' movies are probably Memento and Donnie Darko. They also happen to be my favourite movies in general. Which might say something about me, I'm not sure.

And yeah... Billie Elliott... Erm... I guess it could have been worse... Not really my thing though.

[UK CARS]

I forgot about Donnie Darko, that movie was very good.

[Mr. Orange]

yea, when it comes to deep emotional movies, i like butterfly effect, donnie darko, shawshank redemption. I like tons more but i saw all of these for the first time each about a month ago. Doing that made me get in touch with my emotional side...enough crap, anyway, quentin tarantino is my favorite director who btw just released his 5th movie, HERO...only good if you are a vintage-hard-core-kung fu-fan, like me. Deffinately not a Grammy Winning Crouching Tiger!

(Wow, im surprised i havent seen this thread before, considering my avatar and all, the reason i got on UCP just now was to start a movie forum. And i had this avatar before i saw this thread too. Weird coincidence. :confused: )

[mawi427]

Boondock Saints...neone?.....neone??

my fav movie personally :D

[Blue Supra]

Fav movie was Swordfish, just becasue the bad guy got away :D

Donnie Darko, Butterfly Effect and those kinds of movies that really mess with your head are great!

Fav older movie is "The Sting" see it. Oldest mind messing movie, so good ;)

[Mr. Orange]

One flew over the cookoos' nest with Jack Nicholson is a classic.

These also mess with your head:
Identity with John Cusak and Ray Liota
Matchstick Men with Nicolas Cage
Family Man with Nicolas Cage
Basic with John Travolta and Samuel Jackson
The Village with Joaquin Phoenix and Sagourney Weaver

BTW... M. Night Shyamalan is my 2nd favorite director. All of his movies are very deep and unique.

[Ferrari Tifosi]

Boondock Saints...neone?.....neone??

my fav movie personally :D

Another great movie. William Dafoe's character was well, interesting.

[SlickHolden]

Best movies i have seen
The matrix 1,2,3 --- Moves me still today mind blowing
The day after tomorrow. Words can't explain i ran outside after to see the sun. A movie that can't be seen anywhere other then at the Pictures, Then you respect the masive size of it all and them amazing effects.
Gladiator. Didn't want to watch it but was over the moon i did.
Troy. As above but was shocked it was that good.
Leather weapons. Mel gibson and danny glover together are fantastic.
Die Hards. Always good for action Bruce willis best movies.
John Q. So real this movie A father doing everything for his family.
The Fast and the Furious 1,2. One of the best car movies i have seen.
White chicks. Wacky insane plan. But piss yourself laughin in tears.
The butterfly effect. Unreal edge of your seat right to a very unexpected end.

Worst Movies i have seen.
Donny darko. Here there everywhere follow a 6 foot rabbit but wait your DOA.
Caught up on some sleep watching this took me 5 days to finnish the movie.
The village. Insane people without there jackets on, Blind women that can see?. A movie movie that gave me a chance to catch up on reading.
Spartan. Made weak, Made cheap, Made val killmer look 10 times worse then he is, Story was missing, Parts didn't fit hard to understand at times.
Torque. Big build up bigger let down, Never hit any true highs, And the final chase seen looked like a video game very weak.
Tranning Day. God trying to play bad is what denzel looked like, A real weak crap of a movie, How he won a Award for this beats me, He should have got it for John Q.

And i got over 200 DVD's so if anyone wants a look tell me and i'll post away some are very very new :D

[Blue Supra]

Troy pissed me off, i wanted my money back by the time it ended, it completely ruined a classic tale. not the first time hollywoods done it. they made the war look like it lasted 10 days not 10 years, Achilles was not the 1st ship to land. Ajax commited suicide, Paris was killed, he was NOT a hero, Hector didnt kill the guy (i forget his name) that paris dualed. He survived the war and got helen back. about the only thing they did get right was that Patrokles was killed by Hector. A sh!t movie lacking in accuracy. Realism is what lacks in todays movies. i wanna see some realism! :mad:

[SlickHolden]

Hey they didn't say it was a true story mate :D

White Chicks? Ha, I haven't seen the movie but it looked horrible. Might have to give it a gander since you said it was good. However, The Fake and the Foolish parts 1 and 2 were some of the most horrible movies I have ever seen. Vin Diesel almost automaticly makes a movie bad, that plus many incorrect statements regarding the cars just turned me away from those movies. Oh and not too mention the huge amount of rice that found its way into the movies.

[SlickHolden]

It's a laugh thats it white chicks :D it's not the best done movie the actors don't go to great heights, The story is plan, But you do laugh your head off at it, it's comedy thats it, don't take this movie any other way or you will be let down very hard:)

[@wall]

cant't believe no one has said fight club yet!! that movie was a head f**k. other favs include the porfessional, raging bull is great. 12 monkeys is another head spinner, 28 days later...

[SlickHolden]

Fight club wasnt bad, Did like the professional jean reno :). raging bull? 12 monkeys was good, 28 days later the army at the mansion was a bit over the top they were thugs lol:)

[Ferrari Tifosi]

other favs include the porfessional, raging bull is great. 12 monkeys is another head spinner, 28 days later...

The Proffesional is a good movie, I've been wanting to see Raging bull (I'm a big DeNiro and Peschi fan), 12 Monkeys was strange but interesting, and 28 Days Later was cool.

Also, I heard there was going to be a sequel to The Professional coming out soon. Have any idea if this is true or not?

[cuntukimushroom]

my fav movie will allways be 2F2F or the butterfly effect

[Mr. Orange]

The village. Insane people without there jackets on, Blind women that can see?. A movie movie that gave me a chance to catch up on reading.

I know it's just my opinion but I see some bullsh*** here.
You should watch the Village again and appreciate its emotional and realistic value. It's a modern and unique Drama, not an action, horror, or some lame love story. DONT take this movie any other way or you will be let down very hard!
I know white chicks is a comedy and comedies cant be comparred to drama's in a "quality" aspect but The Village shows much more talent and creativity than white chicks and deserves much more than "insane people and blind girls who can see."
Im not saying that your opinion sux, i just think you should watch certain movies from a different view point to appreciate them instead of picking out their small discrepencies. I know because I used' to do that and since i stopped I have become a more "in-depth" movie critic.

[baddabang]

Im surprized noone said "The Transporter" I love that movie, Hes a good driver ;)

Others I like

Cabin Fever
Fight Club
The Ring
League of extrodanary gentelmen
Bourne Idenity/ Supremacy
oh and Biker Boys ;) J/K

[Ferrari Tifosi]

Just watched "A Clockwork Orange" for the first time about 2 hours ago. Wow, that was a great movie. NoOne was right in saying that it forces you into the characters position. Very interesting movie with many disturbing parts in it.

yeh cubrick was a bit of a genius. it pretty amazing at how he manages to make such a comment on society and the government through the peril of others...

raging bull, is a must see. martin scorsese at his best. also i think that was the movie that de niro won the best actor oscar for...

[NAZCA C2]

These are the only movies that I like.

Heat
Casino
Donnie Brasco
Shawshanked Redemption
Pulp Fiction
American History X
Carlito's Way
Terminator 2

I guess I got to throw in some comedies

Happy Gilmore
Tomcats

It's crap i wasted my money on it. They should have been arrested for holding them people, They never gave them kids the choice to go in the real world they held them there as hostages that is a disgrace. The mental trauma they pot them through the lies what s**t it was. And i wasn't the only one that said it plenty of people i know said the same thing.

And white chicks is just a laugh movie, I didn't say it was best movie made. It was plain actors don't hit great heights not much of a story just plain out laugh that's it. Not Bullsh***
The way i seen it ;)

And another thing how do you know what i do when i watch movies ???
I get movies from the VideoShop where my mate works and watch them for him and tell him how many he should get or if it's worth getting it, I have seen so many movies that come on video and DVD with 2 movies and 10 previews that i have lost count. I sit here right now and have movies that many have downloaded just to see early but arn't the best copys, I see them as DVD's and i judge every movies i see differntly, Do you think i'm gunna judge a movie (action) when i bloody know it's a drama ??? what you take me for a idiot :mad:

I didnt mention HOW you watch your movies in respects to where, when, with whom, and why. I was talking about the way you watched the Village. And i know about the way you watched the Village due to the comments you made about it...
If you still dont follow me, consider this...

The Truman Show (Jim Carrey). Now it seems unreasonable and almost fictional to think that this type of a show could really happen just as it would be hard to imagine The Village actually happening. Technically it could but, like the village it would be very debatable and contraversial. Yea I could say that Jim Carrey is a comedian and doesnt belong here, or that there is no way that Truman couldn't have figured out that he was in a small dome for 30yrs., etc.. but instead of picking at the "unrealistic" and stupid parts of the movie you can see the "real" impact it has by watching it with an unprejudiced mind, and realize what the director is trying to convey to his audience because almost every movie has a deeper meaning.

The Truman Show is a great movie not only because of it's uniqueness but because it has such a brilliant view of who we are as a society. It has a deeper meaning in the aspects of Religion, advertisement, the media, politics, and the very meanings and way we live our lives. It pokes fun at reality shows,product placement,and the idea of what a perfect world is suppose to be. This film speaks about why we are so fascinated with peeping into people lives and intrigued at how they react to situations and conflict. Truman is an unfortunate lab experiment the mastermind(Ed Harris) behind this reality manipulation is almost portraying God as he has total control over "his" Utopia.
And everyone in Trumans life is acting for the show and for keeping stable the fake world that he is living in. This concept made me see that life is just a f****ng play act anyway. We act everything anyway don't we? We go to work.. and Act there....We go home to our families... and Act there.... We say our prayers...and Act again ... is nothing Real? Even Love... doesn't it turn into an act after a while?
The film,I believe,makes a statement about how a person deserves to make choices for himself and that he should have the right to explore and grow by his own means..and that Utopia is what we all make it.
Now if you watch The Village and try to find the deeper and hidden messages in it, (much like Iv'e shown you with the example of the Truman Show), you will be amazed.

Sorry for writing so much but this is a complex concept that im willing to show to SlickHolden.

Yes you did mention how i watch movies.
i just think you should watch certain movies from a different view point to appreciate them instead of picking out their small discrepencies.
You got know right telling me how i should take a movie. You also got know right to shove this bulls**t down my throat, If i don't like a movie respect it as i don't like it, You can bloody love it for all i care that's your opinion i respect that, But i didn't like the village, As i said I'm not the only one that didn't like it.
And by the way i did like the truman show i thought it was very good same as i like ED TV. But as for going deep into the movie if that's what you do go ahead mate, But when i sit and watch a movie i take it as it comes i don't think about anything but that movies in front of me. And when I'm finished if a like it i like it, If i don't my mind doesn't change unless there is something in the movie that gets me thinking it might need a second viewing just to be sure. That don't happen very much, But i would rather watch something else then watch that movie again and to be perfectly honest it was very lucky i sat and watched it to the end. But i have seen some very good movie that have been rote off By the experts, Thats there job that's fine, But i sit down and watch some movie with huge stars and noname stars and 60% of the time the nonames come out on top. But don't worry the village isn't the worst movie i have seen, That award goes to Steven seagals (Out of Reach).

While we are on Stevy I dont under seige 2 sould get away without an honourable mention in the major suckage stakes. The part where he runs down the train ahead of the progressing collision as the two trains collide is priceless.

[SlickHolden]

Don't forget him hanging on the side of the train :D
He is out of favour bad in hollywood, Overweight Low budget, Poor suporting actors, Poor stunt doubles, Voice overs, Bad plots, Bad hair, He has lost the plot now:(

[Mr. Orange]

Yes you did mention how i watch movies.

I din't mean to appear that Forward with you. I meant it as a suggestion and not as something that im "telling" you to do. Sorry.
And i do respect the fact that you didnt like the movie, i just didnt agree with why you didnt like it and the reason for that is, as you said, a movie is good when it gets you thinking right? Well the village got me thinking about certain things and thats why i liked it, on the other hand it didnt get you thinking and you disliked it.
Ok thats fine, sorry for making such a quarrel. :(

[Mr. Orange]

Don't forget him hanging on the side of the train :D
He is out of favour bad in hollywood, Overweight Low budget, Poor suporting actors, Poor stunt doubles, Voice overs, Bad plots, Bad hair, He has lost the plot now:(

Yea i know. the only thing I liked that segal did was the Mountain Dew commercial. Just because i like the drink. :D

[SlickHolden]

The funny thing is i should have liked the village, It's my kind of movie that messes with your head, Like the butterfly effect which i sat forward in the seat to watch. I also like the matrix movies cause they make you think play with your head and try to make you confussed. Also movies like the cube weird strange whats real ia it aliens ?? Who knows mind teasser :)
But the village i couldn't get a connection with this movie i felt empty watching, There just wasn't anything going on up stairs for me, Not that there is much going on up there anyway:D

the village requires a higher state of mind then the normal movie to fully comprehend, and the full force of the plot needs to be thought about to fully realise what the movie represents..

Like Twelve Monkeys ??? Dark city ???

Exactlly man, that is the blunt way to say what i said. I just didnt want to say it like that because it might make those people who didnt like it feel dumb.

[SlickHolden]

But why can't someone just not like this movie? I don't see what the big deal is about :)

And there is no need to label people not as bright just because you think they need a higher state of mind to see this film, To understand it. Is it just possible that people understand it and just don't like it. Or would that make me stupid for asking ? ;)

It's just a movie no need to insult people even if that isn't the intention, It does come across that way :cool:

dunno how popular these are, but "cube" and "hypercube" were awesome.

[SlickHolden]

I also thought the same, I'm hopeing they do a three so we can see how them men were at the end or what and who they work for ?, We get closer and closer to the outside world every time, I couldn't belive they shot that nice looking chic at the end :(

yeah that was a really weird ending. but i dont think tehy will make a sequel. theres not really a lot more they can do.

also, even if they did, they wouldnt have the men at the end of hypercube. the second didnt seem to follow straight on from the first. it was completely different movie, so i doubt, even if they do make one, it'll follow on from the second.

[SlickHolden]

At the first i was dieing to see what was out there, And they cut it off :(

[Matra et Alpine]

yeah, damn, me too.
I hated that, I wnated to knwo what it was all about :(

maybe we (UCP) should come up with a decent ending

I'm cr@p at story-telling, so ..... anyone ..... :)

[SlickHolden]

Maybe a world on mars ? :) or a matrix style mind prison ??

[Matra et Alpine]

maybe the 'outside' is just a BIGGER cube all moving around and doors opening. Parallel universes -- watched too much 'SLiders' :)

[Blue Supra]

Sliders was mad show, we used to play sliders in primary school...
guess that really shows my age up...

[SlickHolden]

Yeah i love sliders also, Kari wuhrer :D:D:D:D:D

Just watched "A Clockwork Orange" for the first time about 2 hours ago. Wow, that was a great movie. NoOne was right in saying that it forces you into the characters position. Very interesting movie with many disturbing parts in it.


I did the same last night. It really is something special. BTW what is the car that Alex and friends are driving on their way to the writer's house?

Good question, I was wondering the same. Alex mentions a name to the car, whether that's the actual name or not, I don't know. Where's NoOne, maybe he'll know the answer.

Haven't got a chance to see that yet, but I've heard that it was indeed Nickolson at his best, as you've stated.

i agree with you. I saw that one at school for the first time one year ago. Very good.
