In general I'm not so into movies made in recent years, but I know there are always some good ones hiding amongst the not so good. Just scrolling through the list of movies released this year, I'm thinking to myself "what should I watch?" Mainstream movies can be samey, cookie-cutter, with basic scripts, but I'm looking for something intriguing which is set apart from the rest. Edit: Any genre is fine. Edit #2: No spoilers, hints, warnings, etc. please. submitted by /u/welcome2city17 [link] [comments]

Apparently the title was misleading, but I just used what was there at the time. submitted by /u/AndrewHeard [link] [comments]

“See, Mike, the only difference between giving up and not giving up is if you take her back when she wants to come back. But you can't do anything to make her want to come back. In fact, you can only do stuff to make her not want to come back.” “So the only difference is if I forget about her or just pretend to forget about her?” “Right” “So it's just like a retroactive decision, then? I mean I could, like, forget about her and then when she comes back make like I just pretended to forget about her?” “you're going to pretend to forget about her, you'll not call her, I don't know, whatever... but then eventually, you really will forget about her.” “Well what if she comes back first?” “see, that's the thing, is somehow they know not to come back until you really forget.” submitted by /u/doesthisnamework1 [link] [comments]

We are coming up on the 2 year anniversary of this weekly movie night commencing. There are 8 of us in the group and it's been a really great weekly ritual. We've all been exposed to some amazing (and some not so amazing) new films. Even the less loved ones have been interesting and worthwhile in their own way and have given us lots to talk about. It's consistently a highlight of my week. We finally compiled all the films into a list (in no particular order) and it's a pretty diverse and wide ranging encapsulation of our tastes. They range from beloved classics to really bizarre esoteric choices. The most loved and most disliked ones by the group have been quite surprising. Thoughts on our choices? https://boxd.it/pgH8q submitted by /u/_BestThingEver_ [link] [comments]

I’m a 30 year old man and I cry during movies now. I was never this emotional before. This happen to anybody else as they got older? For example, Boyz N The Hood, the scene where Ricky gets killed, I never used to cry as a kid watching that, but now I do. Especially when Brenda is freaking out and Furious tells Trey “you my only son and I’m not gonna lose you to no bullshit.” I even find myself getting emotional during scenes that aren’t even sad like the Layla montage in Goodfellas because it’s just so beautiful to me. Emotional scenes and scenes that are just powerful to me get me emotional now. It never used to be like this. A scene that would get me emotional now, I’d watch with a blank face when I was younger. Is there a word to describe this? What changed since I’ve gotten older? Could it be because my zodiac sign is cancer and we’re deemed emotional? Is it the cinematography? submitted by /u/HuntPuzzleheaded4356 [link] [comments]

Day 46: Delaware Day 45: Kansas was exactly what I woulda bet the house on, The Wizard of Oz. It’s really all that coulda won. And it was a blowout. Kudos to Superman, Paper Moon and a couple others but everybody was playing for second. Much like Fargo, it barely takes place in Kansas but as one commenter said, this movie is the reason the world has heard of Kansas. Anyway, we’re not in Kansas anymore. We’re headed to Delaware. It’s a good state to retire to but is it a good movie to set a movie in? Tell me! Remember it’s the movie comment with the most upvotes, so check if yours is mentioned. Also, where the movie is set, not filmed. I’m going in a random order! Day 46: Delaware Day 45: Kansas - The Wizard of Oz Day 44: Connecticut - Beetlejuice Day 43: Illinois - Blues Brothers Day 42: New Hampshire - Jumanji Day 41: West Virginia - October Sky Day 40: Massachusetts- Good Will Hunting Day 39: Michigan - Robocop Day 38: Minnesota - Fargo Day 37: Maryland - The Blair Witch Project Day 36: Kentucky - Goldfinger Day 35: New Mexico - Oppenheimer Day 34: Vermont - Super Troopers Day 33: New Jersey - Clerks Day 32: Nebraska - Nebraska Day 31: Oklahoma- Twister Day 30: Florida - Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Day 29: Washington DC - The Exorcist Day 28: Washington State - 10 Things I Hate About You Day 27: Utah SLC Punk Day 26: Arizona - Raising Arizona Day 25: New York - Goodfellas Day 24: Missouri - Gone Girl Day 23: Ohio - Tommy Boy Day 22: Virginia - Remember the Titans Day 21: Oregon - Goonies Day 20: Texas - No Country for Old Men Day 19: Alaska - Insomnia Day 18: Alabama - My Cousin Vinny Day 17: Wyoming - Wind River Day 16: North Dakota - Fargo Day 15: South Dakota -North by Northwest Day 14: North Carolina - Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby Day 13: Arkansas - Sling Blade Day 12: Tennessee - Evil Dead Day 11: Wisconsin - Baseketball Day 10: Pennsylvania - Groundhog Day Day 9: Iowa - Field of Dreams Day 8: Montana - A River Runs Through It Day 7: Maine - Shawshank Redemption Day 6: Mississippi - O Brother, Where Art Thou Day 5: Rhode Island - Me, Myself, and Irene Day 4: Indiana - Hoosiers Day 3: Colorado - The Shining Day 2: Louisiana - Interview with the Vampire Day 1: Hawaii - Forgetting Sarah Marshall submitted by /u/CWKitch [link] [comments]

You know what you're getting into with most horror films. It's usually the selling point. However, fate decreed that a horror movie be made by stealth, and that film is Babe 2: Pig In The City. This film was a stealthy "fuck you" by the director / writer George Miller. He didn't want to make a sequel to his unexpectedly successful first film, he really wanted to make a horror movie, so when the studio started piling money on the table he must have thought "Maybe... I can do both!" For the first ten minutes or so the film continues the quiet whimsy of Babe, the silly duck is back and doing more adorable slapstick, it's exactly by-the-numbers what you'd expect a sequel to a film about a pig who can talk to sheep is going to be. Then Babe gets into a plane, the duck tries to fly alongside and hilariously can't keep up... and that's the exact point at which Miller knew the studio suits would stop watching the preview and wave it through to global distribution. You can visibly note the film changing color palette and hear the audio profile become more gritty as the movie abruptly morphs from "more of the same crap for little kids" into "a nightmarish descent into stylized animal exploitation and cruelty". You might think I'm trying to be funny, I'm fucking not. Once you see this film you do not joke about it. It is beyond belief Miller pulled this bait and switch, let alone got it into cinemas. The sequence where the animal squat is raided and all of the little heroic creatures are captured and dragged outside occurs in real time, without a soundtrack bed. There's mass dog-murder, talking animal misery, one of the animals commits suicide, what the fuck happened to "Baa Ram Ewe"? And then, as if to laugh in your stupid horrified face, the very last five minutes returns to the jolly farm fantasy of Babe, as if Miller was gaslighting you that you had somehow fallen asleep and dreamed all the horror stuff yourself. I didn't! I watched it again to make sure: it was worse than I remembered, so much worse. submitted by /u/BardInChains [link] [comments]

American Beauty turns 25 today, and if you were in High School in 1999, you are now approximately the age of Kevin Spacey as Lester Burnham. Despite this film perfectly encapsulating the average American middle class experience in 1999 for many people, the initial critical acclaim and Best Picture win has been revisited by a generation that now finds it out of touch with reality and the concerns of modern life and social discourse. Lester Burnham identifies his age as 42 in the opening monologue, and the events of the film cover approximately one year earlier. At the time, he might have resembled your similarly aged dad. He now seems like someone in his lower 50s. He has a cubicle job in magazine ad sales, but owns a picture perfect house, two cars, a picket fence, and a teenage daughter he increasingly struggles to relate to. While some might guess this was Hollywood exaggeration, it does fit the experience of even some lower middle class people at the turn of the century. It's the American Dream, but feeling severed from his spirit, passion, and personal agency by a chronically unsatisfied wife and soul sucking wage slavery, Lester engages in a slash and burn war against invisible chains, to reclaim his identity and live recklessly to the fullest. Office Space, Fight Club, and The Matrix came out the same year. It was a theme. But after 9/11 shifted sentiment back to safety and faith in authority, the 2007 recession inspired reverence for financial security, and a series of social outrage movements against those who have more, saved little, and suffer less, Lester Burnham is viewed differently, and the film has been judged, perhaps unfairly, by our current standards rather than through the lens of its time. While the character was always meant to be more ethically ambiguous than "hero of the story", and increasingly audiences mistake depiction for condonement, many are revolted by the selfishness and snark of a privileged straight white male boomer with an office job salary that many would kill for, living comfortably in a home most millennials will never be able to afford. At the very least, it became harder to sympathize, even before accusations were made against the actor who played him. With this, I wonder what other movies followed a similar path, controvertial or not. What are the movies that defined your image of adult life, or the average American experience, which now feel completely absurd in retrospect? Please try to keep it to this topic. submitted by /u/hombregato [link] [comments]

" A teaser trailer for the film adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are (USA, 2009) was first screened alongside the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas (USA) on its release on 9 December 2000. At that point, the film was scheduled for release by Universal in 2001, but when plans by director Spike Jonze to shoot the film using live action and practical special effects fell through owing to budgetary issues, Universal dropped the project, which was subsequently picked up by Warner Bros, eventually seeing release on 11 December 2009, a full nine years and two days after the initial trailer had first been screened.

One of my favorite parts of Moulin Rouge is when the cast pitches the show-within-a-show to the investor, and they basically describe everything that's going to happen in the rest of the movie, even including the duke's note that "in the end should someone die?" A similar thing happens in Shaun of the Dead, when Ed describes what they should do that evening. What I love about these scenes is that, the first time you watch them, you don't even know that it's foreshadowing. (Okay, maybe you can guess that in Moulin Rouge). They're not just foreshadowing the ending or one particularly dramatic turn, either; they're outlining the whole movie across several beats of the plot. I don't even know if there's a name for this specific type of whole-plot foreshadowing (I couldn't even find it on TV Tropes). There's got to be other movies I'm not remembering right now where the characters inadvertently describe the rest of the film. Which ones are worth checking out? submitted by /u/littletoyboat [link] [comments]
