General Movie Discussion

Move it to the top of your list. You will NOT be sorry

 

That shit seems sad and has horrific reviews. Going to be a no for me dog.

 

Don't miss out. It's awesome

 

The Card Counter was a really good movie. Super dark but Oscar Issac is amazing as always. Not sure if you have to love poker like I do to enjoy, but it is one of the better 2021 movies that I have seen.

 

Is there a Weird Al thread here?

 

You should check out Cherry 2000

 

The younglings at work didn’t believe me when I told them the plot

 

Was finally able to watch CODA last night via a close friend's AppleTV account and really enjoyed it; I appreciated seeing the recommendations here and have already recommended it to a few other friends today. Now looking for something else to watch tonight...

 

Back up Cherry!

 

For Christmas, my kids got me one of those Top100 Movie posters like this

We take turns picking a movie and then scratch off the corresponding box on the poster. Last night Mrs. Celemo chose Seven. Kendall (being a basic bitch and loving True Crime podcasts) absolutely loved this movie. As soon as she saw Gwyneth on screen, she was all " Oh she's gonna die"

 

Seems like an awesome thing to do as a fam Celemo

 

some of the movies we pre-scratched off like Avengers and Star Wars because we've seen them all a million times. Some of them we're gonna have to wait a while. I'm not letting Meatball watch American Psycho or American History X until he's a little bit older. So far we've done Shawshank and Seven. Kendall picks next

 

Finally got around to seeing Sound of Metal last night, thought it was pretty good, too, althought a bit of a downer compared to CODA

 

This is my, not comprehensive at all/first 10 that came to mind top 10 feel good movies. (No seasonal/Christmas flicks allowed)

1. Remember the Titans
2. McFarland USA
3. Peanut Butter Falcon
4. Real Steel
5. Hunt for the Wilderpeople
6. Palm Springs
7. Big Fish
8. Iron Will
9. Sing Street
10. Eddie the Eagle

It's funny, because this is contextual... FE, Big Fish and Hunt for the Wilderpeople are definitely better movies than Real Steel, but within the context of this list, I went with Real Steel ahead. Also, I kind of hate rom coms, so that's why none of those made the top 10.

 

You guys should speed run through The Pianist, Life Is Beautiful, and Schindler’s List.

 

this past weekend it was the kids turn to pick

Kendall chose Kill Bill
Meatball picks next since he chose a movie he really wanted to see but it wasn't on the poster

 

Planning to see Death on the Nile Friday night

 

Posted in the Jurassic World thread, too

 

"Conclusion"

You promise?

 

Watched Nine Days and thought it was terrific. Highly recommend.

 

Why does Chris Pratt keep getting lead roles?

 

Everyone said the same thing in 1999 about Keanu Reeves.

 

Watched Songbird on a flight home yesterday. Thought it was pretty bad tbh. I can see how some could be entertained by it, because it has Michael Bay production, but the movie, imo, was dog shit. Do not recommend.

Spoiler: Movie trailer

 

I already posted this in the Oscars thread, but wanted to be sure to share it here, too

 

And I saw this last night and it was pretty dumb but still somewhat entertaining, too. It's a little easier to handle the ridiculousness if you go in with low expectations and the understanding that it's based on/the source material is a video game.

 

Well licorice pizza’s plot sure is, uhhh, something

 

I've been eyeballing Wilderpeople as a possible selection for mrs constant and I some evening soon. Glad to see the endorsement.

 

I see Amelie on there. That's a sweet, funny and inventive movie. Yes, I'm kind of a girl.

 

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre might be the worst movie I’ve ever seen

 

It’s so bad

 

It’s worse than Troll 2 because it tries so hard to be a legitimate movie.

 

Death on the Nile was predictable but still a decent watch. Emma Mackey is distractingly attractive.

 

I saw it last week and up until now I thought that was Margot Robbie the whole time.

 

Just watched Free Guy. Might be my favorite movie from 2021 now.

 

Cyrano was pretty good.

 

Fresh on Hulu is a good watch. I'd recommend going in knowing as little as possible.

 

Just started watching Drive My Car

 

Went to go see The Worst Person in the World tonight. Beautiful movie, highly recommend it.

 

Assumed it was going to be terrible - fully enjoyed and I feel like I missed a lot of the video game references that would make it funnier.

 

New horror movie from Alex Garland, will definitely give this a shot at some point



edit:

 

Link isn't working - may just be me

 

Finally got around to watching Bob Odenkirk’s Nobody, it was excellent.
