Recomend some movies
« on: November 29, 2008, 04:51:47 pm »
So I recently started up a netflix membership again, and already I'm drawing a blank. Denny and I have watched most of the seasons to CSI to NCIS to Fall guy, to movies like Iron man, hulk, Hancock, Godzilla movies (toho).

What are some good ones I missed? I recently ordered those russian films Day watch and Night watch, but after that, I'm drawing a blank.

Thought you might, Baraka is an excellent film. Both it and Birdy have wonderful soundtracks.

As far as movies that I've liked that you might not have
Unbreakable
October Sky
Superman II the Richard Donner Cut
Patriot Games
Jet Pilot (poor storyline, but the film was shot with the cooperation of the US airforce and has excellent footage of aircraft that were in service at the time, as well as stunt flying by Chuck Yeager.  The airforce subsequently reversed itself repressed the film for 10 years because they felt the footage gave away too much information on its capabilities.)

Here is an excerpt from Baraka, the song is ""The Host of Seraphim" by Dead Can Dance (gets me every time) - crank to eleven for best enjoyment:


More of Baraka:

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=baraka&search_type=&aq=f

A trailer for Birdy (awesome Peter Gabriel soundtrack):


More on Birdy:



While I'm at it, I might as well recommend another film with an untouchable soundtrack by Peter Gabriel:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Temptation_of_Christ_(film)
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=The+Last+Temptation+of+Christ&search_type=&aq=f
Oh cool! An interview with Pete on the soundtrack:


This was the beginning of Pete's Real World Records label.
http://realworldrecords.com/

The gem of the Real World label: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan  (He died not long before I saw Pete in Toronto, and he was scheduled to be on the tour...  :'()

I guess for me, the soundtrack is what makes a film.


Oh, and I assume you've seen Catch 22? (not from Blockbuster - they cut the ending)

Being back on cable is cool, I can actually use YouTube now.  8)

Another soundtrack film:

Whale Music   :thumbsup:

Excellent music, heartbreaking/heartwarming story. Though wikipedia calls it a comedy. It is not. With Paul Gross of Due South fame.

The beast needs more torque!  ;D

The hit song from the soundtrack:
Claire

(or on CBC: http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/RHEOSTATICS/Claire/)

Another song from the soundtrack album:
Shaved Head (Embedding disabled, limit reached)


More from the Rheostatics, just because they rock:
The Rheostatics&; Group Of Seven on CBC's The National (Embedding disabled, limit reached)

Oh, the shape of things, that can't be seen,

 :notworthy:


It's Canadian culture night on Dynaverse.net with Bonk!  ;D

This is another movie for the high end home theater audio system cranked to eleven. Neither of the youtube clips do justice to the quality of the soundtrack of course.

My favorite Rheostatics song of all time:
http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/RHEOSTATICS/Northern-Wish/
OK, I'll stop now.

Try these, because the rest of the guys already hit "Strange Brew": ;)

1. 'Ronin' Great action flick that doesn't get the respect it deserves.
2. 'Father Ted'(if nothing else, get a copy of "Speed 3", it's hillarious)
3. 'Sergeant York'(it's already been recommended, but I'll second it), probably Gary Cooper's masterpiece next to "High Noon".
4. 'The Godfather I & II'. Part three never happened in a truly just universe.
5. 'Goodfellas'. Next to the above mentioned, it's the greatest mob movie ever.
6. 'Mr. Roberts'. The good Fonda(Henry), James Cagney, and Jack Lemmon. It's been tried on stage and Broadway, but nobody has ever come close to being as good as these guys were.
7. Just about anything with the Duke, but for this list, check out 'Red River'.
8. 'The Deer Hunter', probably DeNiro's best movie, but it's long and for most, very depressing.
9. 'Who's Life is it Anyway?' See #8 for quick synopsis, except its Richard Dreyfuss instead of DeNiro. This is one of those, "What the **** would I do if it was me in that condition?" Very powerful movie, but don't let anybody who's a manic depressive or has suicidal tendencies watch it.

'Speed 3' is probably the funniest Britcom episode to come out besides Monty Python or Red Dwarf. It's definitely the best Father Ted ep.

Going back to movies, has nobody listed 007 yet?

Best Bond: Tim Dalton
Best Bond flick: 'The Living Daylights'
Worst Bond flick: TIE: 'Moonraker'; the filmakers absolutely raped and pillaged Ian Fleming's original story, and 'Diamonds are Forever', which is definitely the most putrid thing that Sean Connery ever did for Her Majesty's Secret Service. I can't really decide which one was worse.
Most overrated Bond: Roger Moore(who beats out Pierce Brosnan by a nose)
Most underrated Bond: Dalton(George Lazenby comes in second)

But if you're in the mood for a little 007 that doesn't see all that much of those Spike Bondathons, get a hold of the above mentioned "The Living Daylights", "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"(which is very, very underrated), and "License to Kill".

Will Do Nem.

Man I own Bubba Hotep. Best movie that Bruce has done in a long time.

Tell ya something funny, I grabbed Adam-12 , somehow it got in my que, and IT came yesterday. I never laughed so hard at a series in forever. From finding a stolen car, with a boa in the trunk, to the kid who would be Ferangi getting his head stuck in a fence.

There is a story to my seeing it though. 

A group of us got together and it was decided to have a "movie night" one of the guys made 2 mistakes.  The first was to insist that I and another guy (Mark) not be allowed to choose any movies because we have "bad taste" in movies.  The truth is MARK likes bad movies and because of that I have seen way too many atrocious films.  The 2nd mistake was when he couldn't find anything that he wanted to watch he fell into my trap.  I offered to point out a movie that matched the specifications he gave.  He specified a "classic" with famous people he recognized.  So I merely used the fact that my friends trust me to be truthful and pointed out Sextette.   I was in fact truthful as the movie has many famous people in it and it is a cult classic. 

He has never lived down choosing that movie to watch.  :) 

He really shouldn't have insulted me and then expected helpful advice on the very same topic.  He should also have specified the type of classic.  :)

That is pretty funny Nem.

 always liked Mystery Men, and rush hour. Not familiar with Disturbia. Isn't Bicentennial man the one with Robin Williams? I seem to remember I liked that one.

Yes, Bicentenial Man is the one with Robin Williams.  Disturbia is a Rear Windowesque thriller staring Shia LaBeouf.  Here's the trailer.

Don't know if these have shown up on the list(if they have, I'll second their nominations):

-The Manchurian Candidate(Frank Sinatra's best role)

-Dr. Strangelove(this movie is hillarious on so many scales that if you've never seen it, get it. Immediately)

-Seven Days In May(this one is a barely concealed Hollyweird fantasy of the fireworks between Truman and MacArthur, but it's still a good movie)

Leaving the 50s and the Cold War...

-The Princess Bride(very cute, and very, very funny)

-Excalibur(it tears the legend of King Arthur to shreds, but then so did Monty Python ;) )

-Pale Rider(tomorrow night on AMC; it's a recreation of Clint's old "dead man gunslinging" from a few 60s movies, but the showdown is a classic and it kind of got lost between all the Dirty Harry movies)

-Battleground(Band of Brothers did it in the last few years, but this old flick came out within the first few years after the Battle of the Bulge. As an old infantryman, they played out the combat perfectly for the conditions, and it was a very, very good movie. Obviously, it's about the 101 and Bastogne, and look for a few familiar faces who were unknown back when they made it). ;)

Seen all of them but Battleground, at least that one idoes not ring any bells right off.

Yeah Rambo IV was a good one, like how it came full circle.

Battleground is still shown on TMC on one of their military weekends like Memorial Day. It's also available on DVD. Prior to Band of Brothers, it was the best account of the siege of Bastogne, and it's still a very good movie.

If you like documentaries, the BBC "Walking With" series is a good watch with a lot of re-watchability.  Unfortunately, only the British version is available on DVD.  I personally prefer the American version.  Despite being slightly censored, I feel that Avery Brooks is a better narrator than Kenneth Branough, and I like how in the American version, they stop on occasion to have paleontologists explain why they think the animals, looked, behaved, or met their ends in certain ways.

Repo: A Genetic Opera

ok as many of you have known through the years, I am a huge Sarah Brightman fan, her voice with Opera has been a constant companion with me for over 20 years now. So when I saw she was in this movie, I scratched my head, and rented it anyways.

My friends ignore the bad reviews, this one is great. A mix of Blade Runner (in background) , Old style Rock opera's, and one hell of a story line.

In the Future, Genco creates Organs for quick replacements. However, don't miss a payment, or they will send the Repoman after you. While this alone would be a great story, they add in other storylines.

Between the Repoman , how he became such, and Rotti, the corporate bad guy with Genco, and how he is dying, enters the daughter, Shilo.

Shilo is held by her father, protected from the cruel outside world, only to be discovered by Ritto. Her father had a choice to make when she was born, save her, or let her and the mother both die. This guilt lead her father down a dark path in his life.

Grave robbing has become the new way to get the popular Street drug, and one Grave robber always winds up helping Shilo, as she quests for her past.

Blind Mag (Sarah) knew shilo's mother, and was to be her God mother, Ritto outfitted her with a new set of eyes (Great Special effects tie into this), but she wants to leave Genco now.

This and much more explodes towards the end, as Ritto, his three evil kids, Shilo, Mag and of course the Repoman battle one last time at the Genetic Opera in front of a live audience.

Not for kids due to themes here (repoing human body parts might make the young ones a bit ill, but the gore is really low key.)

Music features, Jazz, rock, Classical Opera, Soul, funk. something for everyone.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repo!_The_Genetic_Opera   <---only for spoilers, as IT tells who the Repo man is.

I've never been into rock operas, so I don't watch 'Rocky Horror'. Of course, I've never been into opera in the first place because they don't speak English. Tomorrow night, I might attend a ballet, as long as they speak American(or at least Canadian). ;)

Now, moving back to forgotten or underrated movies:

'The Patriot'. Like 'Passion of the Christ', it's one of Mel Gibsons' forgotten or overlooked movies of the '90s that was panned by critics but blew the doors off the box office. It also included an unintentional reitiration of the Battle of Cowpens.

'The Stand'. Yeah, it's a miniseries, but it's the best adaptation yet of a Stephen King novel. Of course, it helps that it's King's best novel.

'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly'. The penultimate Clint spaghetti Western.

'The Amateur'. John Savage plays a CIA anylist who's fiance is murdered by a East German terrorist, and he goes looking for revenge.

I didn't care for Rocky Horror either for that matter, but there where a few that where ok, Styx's Killroy was here, The Wall, etc. where pretty good stage shows (even if short lived).

I own all of those except for the amateur, will have to check that one out.

There was an unwritten rule at my frat house that every semester, on the last day of finals, we would get absolutely blitzed, then watch 'The Wall'. On Beta! I usually managed to miss this because I was out drinking and whoring. ;)

BTW: The History Channel is coming out with a new Battle 360 on Friday night. It stars Gen. George S. Patton. I can't wait!  :rockinband:

I'd definitely recommend Dark City if you haven't seen it.  One of my all time favorites.

Also, I'd check out

In the Mood for Love
2046 (see this one after 'In the mood for love', and then progress on to the rest of the Wong Kar Wai stuff, starting with Chungking Express, maybe)

Flight of the Conchords - season 1
Strictly Ballroom
Slither
Lord of Illusions
Hard Candy
Brick
The Dancer Upstairs
Killing Words
Under Suspicion
Audition
Open Range
Orgazmo
Oldboy (and perhaps the others in the Vengeance trilogy)
Reign Over Me
Immortal
Identity
Night Watch (not the russion one)


I've recently blasted through the Rockford Files season 1-5, Magnum PI seasons 1-3, the Greatest American Hero 1-3.  All were good.  Newsradio seasons are good.  I like the series "Hustle", and hope to finish that off soon.

Just finished Night/Day Watch myself (not too bad, actually) - been feeding the wife movies from this list every once in a while to get away from those "girlie" flicks that normally come throuh the mail ;) .

The HBO series Six Feet Under and Oz might catch your interest if you have not yet seen those.

I've also found The Office (american version) to be rather hilarious, and the first 4 seasons are available as "watch it now" on netflix - if you're into that, that is. And yes, some of the office pranks they pull are doable.

Addendum:

On Wonder woman, Funny as all get out, with nice plot twists etc.

Two scenes for example. AF Pilot Steve Rogers has crashed on the Amazon island, and is being questioned by the queen.

queen: "what else are you thinking" as she tightens the lasso

Steve: looking at Princess Diana "Your daughter has a nice rack"

-----------

While walking around Central Park, they come across some boys playing pirates. Diana notices a girl crying.

WW: "what's the matter little one?"
Girl: "they won't let me play Pirate , cause I'm a girl and need to be rescued."
WW: "they are not even sword fighting right, They are using a slash attack instead of  a thrust in close combat. here let me show you how."

She then picks up a stick and instructs the little 8-10 yo how to handle the make believe weapon.

WW: " there you go child, now go unleash Hell"
Steve: " How sweet, you taught the little girl how to disembowel her friends.

For a cartoon it was not bad.

Wonder Woman was surprisingly good.

Actually, it wouldn't have been so surprising if I'd noticed Paul Dini's (or was it Bruce Timm's....?) name on the package.

I gotta recommend a movie I just watched:  Ride with the Devil.  Ang Lee film with Tobey Maguire in the lead.  I Netflixed it after reading a book on the guerrilla campaigns in Kansas and Missouri in the Civil War and ended up, while doing further research, seeing this movie listed as an 'in popular culture' thing on Wiki.

Apparently it didn't see very wide release in the U.S...the reasons for this being many and varied, but one commonly referenced is that the studio didn't believe that a movie with a black guy fighting for the Confederates would sell well...of course the character in the movie was inspired by a real person...

Anyhow, it's a pretty good flick in the 'war drama' vein, and there's some decent attention to detail...the bushwhackers tend to carry multiple pistols rather than rifles, for example.

Bedtimes Stories (Adam Sandler one, not the skinimax one) was a pretty darn good movie, Great family film, but very predictable.

Taken was outstanding. Retired soldiers daughter goes to France, get's kidnapped and sold on the sex slave market, resulting in the Perfection of killing the french, Albanians, and eventually a sheik. Why It even has a torture scene that makes me proud. ;)
