"In a world where ..." usually in an ominous baritone preceded any action, mystery, or thriller trailer in the theater. I guess the voice over helped the audience figure out the plot in advance or provided anticipation of any upcoming star vehicle. Now hilariously mocked online, the use of the voice overs in film trailers seems to have reached the end of its usefulness. With internet there doesn't seem to be any point for a trailer voice over. When did this practice stop? submitted by /u/ClubSoda [link] [comments]

Twister is my favorite movie and for me, the best scene is at the drive in movie when the tornado starts to rip apart the screen right as the "Here's Johnny", scene from "The Shining" starts playing. Oh the poetic symbolism. Absolutely love it. And God rest the souls of Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Their talents will not be forgotten in my eyes. Two underappreciated greats. I tend to watch this movie on VHS, simply for the nostalgic memories from the first time I saw it. submitted by /u/AdministrationDry158 [link] [comments]

For those who are into the creative arts - even if it’s daydreaming - what has been the most influential move you have ever seen that changed you? Which one changed the way you saw storytelling, cinematography, drama, etc. and you ultimately put it into your own creative work? Could be a foundational one (Alfred Hitchcock) or fairly modern one (tenet). Doesn’t have to be something profound, could be something as little as “James Gunn taught me how to use B-characters in GOTG or Suicide Squad”. submitted by /u/InsideSpeed8785 [link] [comments]

First I’d like to start off with how I’ve never watched a western movie and recently I’ve had an urge to watch one but I don’t know what’s good and I wanted something with a lot of action and graphic violence, I planned on starting off with Django unchained simply because everyone praises it and I’ve only heard amazing things. submitted by /u/Isaacwhyyyyyyy [link] [comments]

John Cusack plays an assassin who returns to his hometown to go to his 10 year high school reunion and gets mixed up in a deadly plot while reuniting with an old girlfriend and child hood friend. It's a dark comedy film with some great acting and a few nice shootouts. I really like the way John Cusack's character is portrayed in this, he is like this really direct to the point type of character but funny to, It's hard for me to describe and I don't want to give to much away but he really nails his role. submitted by /u/80severything [link] [comments]

Absolutely brilliant movie. Might be a top 5 trilogy closer for me. I thought I saw the best looking characters ever when I saw Avatar 2, but no, War looks even better than that. You can literally see Andy Serkis’ performance, and that’s not a bad thing at all. You can tell it’s him but in a good way. War left me with a craving for the Fourth one coming out. It actually looks amazing and even though it isn’t Matt Reeves, I have faith. What do you guys think? submitted by /u/Absuridity_Octogon [link] [comments]

I was looking at Harrison Fords filmography and saw that from 1977 to 1984 he acted or starred in Star Wars (1977), Apocalypse Now (1979), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Blade Runner (1982), Return of the Jedi (1983), and Temple of Doom (1984). That's an insane run of movies over the course of only 7 years. And famously there is John Cazale who was in The Godfather (1972), The Conversation (1974), The Godfather Part II (1974), Dog Day Afternoon (1975), and finally The Deer Hunter (1978). All of which were nominated for Best Picture. What other actors had an incredible run of great movies over a short couple of years? submitted by /u/DDough505 [link] [comments]

Seems like JustWatch created an update where when you now click on the movie/TV title you are interested in, instead of their simple and user friendly stream/rent/buy table, there is now a clunky, confusing, and seemingly APPLE TV biased list, and its HORRIBLE. I can't stand it and wish there was something I could use instead. Does anyone have any recommendations? submitted by /u/bluelightxx [link] [comments]

Colin Farrell starrer “Phone Booth,” is a gripping thriller where his intense performance keeps viewers on edge. Despite it's limited setting, the movie keeps you engaged. I still remember watching it in theaters where I and my friend had separate seats but I still remember the nail biting experiences. It's a memorable thriller from back old days. The film, directed by Joel Schumacher, revolves around a media consultant, played by Colin Farrell, who is trapped in a phone booth after receiving a call. Does anyone remember that movie? submitted by /u/dentendre [link] [comments]

El mariachi is one of my favourite low budget movies. Also being Robert Rodriguez first movie that was shot for only 7000$ it is my favourite first director film right beside Reservoir Dogs by Tarantino. Who ever wants an action movie with a little bit of craziness and a pinch of comedy check it out. submitted by /u/Toshi_us [link] [comments]

We’ve all had that moment where we saw a movie at 16 and were like “Paul is the funniest movie ever! This is like my favourite movie now! Seth Rogen was the PERFECT voice for a stoner alien!” And then we look back 10 years later and think “I mean… it’s ok. I was probably just having a good day when I first saw it.” But what are some movies that became one of your favourites the day you first watched it and just never slipped since? They were in your top ten that day and they’re in your top ten today. Mine would be The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Coen Bros’ True Grit, The Big Lebowski and Independence Day. All my other top tens took some time to be appreciated or were momentarily edged out by novelty movies. submitted by /u/ArgoverseComics [link] [comments]

If you aren't aware of the notorious and never released Jerry Lewis Nazi Clown movie "The Day the Clown Cried," check out the Wikipedia entry here. That page states "Lewis repeatedly insisted that The Day the Clown Cried would never be released, but later donated an incomplete copy of the film to the Library of Congress in 2015 under the stipulation that it was not to be made available before June 2024." Intrigued by the fact that June 2024 is coming up soon, I contacted the Moving Image Research Center at the Library of Congress, asking if there was a set date for release of the material. Good and bad news. The good news is that they do have a date: August 27, 2024. The bad news is that the material they have sounds pretty slight. Anyone with expectations of viewing a completed film or even completed scenes will likely be disappointed. Here is the full response I received: Thank you for contacting the Moving Image Research Center regarding "The Day the Clown Cried." The Library of Congress holds a small amount of pre-print material on the film “The Day the Clown Cried." The Library does not hold the complete film or anything currently viewable. The gift/purchase agreement signed on August 27, 2014, placed a 10-year restriction on that material. When the restriction is lifted, the Library will make plans to provide access for onsite research viewing only. The Library is prohibited from otherwise sharing the material without donor consent, at least during the full term of copyright. Specifically: The Library does not and has never held the complete film. There are no plans for a public screening because the Library does not hold the complete film. The Library does hold only a few reels of unedited footage and some reels of sound that curators believe may be from a small portion of the film. It is not yet known whether the film and sound reels synchronize. There is also silent behind-the-scenes footage of the film production process. This portion of the collection is expected to open for research access only on site beginning on Aug. 27 at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately it seems that those of us who had hopes of enjoying the film that Harry Shearer called "a painting on black velvet of Auschwitz" are out of luck. Thankfully, we'll always have Patton Oswalt's audio retelling of the time he tried to put on a stage reading of the script, only to be shut down by "Soy Spasm the Producer" who had hoped to remake the film with Chevy Chase. submitted by /u/thecoooog [link] [comments]

So many freaking swarms, in the 2010's especially. First one that comes to mind for me was sentinels in Matrix Revolutions. I know it's an easy movie to hate, but I enjoyed the epicness of the movie-going experience at the time. It was pulled off decently well, chewing up mechs and being properly menacing. I think it was well-served by having that scene where they trapped Trinity in the hallway where you can really see their snipping blades and how deadly and large they were. Furthermore, it really fit the vibe of the hordes of mindless killing machines. Not every swarm did that. What other examples come to mind? submitted by /u/TheArchitect_7 [link] [comments]

For anyone who doesn't know the story behind this film, it was originally written soon after the end of the Whitest Kids U Know TV show ended in 2011. After a long hiatus, the WKUK guys reunited in 2020 to stream on Twitch. The goal of these streams was to use the donations to crowdfund Mars, because as they said, "No studio would ever let us make this movie as we think it should be made, they would kill us with notes." Over the course of the year and a half, they were able to raise enough money to fund recording all the lines, and a lot of the animation work. In August of 2021, Trevor Moore died very unexpectedly, and this brought the production progress to a screeching halt. Luckily, Trevor's lines were all recorded, and the guys assured their fans that the film will eventually be released. Production continued, but at a snail's pace, mostly due to a lack of funding. After a long stretch of silence, it was announced today that finally, Mars will be premiering at Tribeca Film festival in June. This film is Trevor Moore's last project. Trevor often said that Mars was the best thing he has ever done, and he was very excited for its release. submitted by /u/tokoloshe_ [link] [comments]

I've started watching more old films recently. One thing that's at the back of my mind is that when these movies came out, they were seen as modern pieces. However, living in our time with the modern movies we have, even looking back 10 years, some movies begin to show their age. Something about their cinematography and visuals tells you that they're newer movies, things like heavier use of CGI, faster cuts and shot types. It makes me wonder, in 10, 20, 30 and 50 years how do you foresee movies changing? What kind of techniques will future movies use that will make us look back on the movies of today and think they look old and outdated? submitted by /u/Huihejfofew [link] [comments]
