I'll refrain from any hint of a spoiler but I will say that this film was an absolute masterpiece and had me in tears by the end. I watched it for the first time a week ago and it's stuck with me ever since. One of those rare films where I look at my life as before I watched it and after I watched it. As a single Dad of a girl around Sophie's age, it touched my soul and changed something in me that I can't explain. A brilliant full-length directorial debut by Charlotte Wells, she is definitely one to watch for the future. https://preview.redd.it/eflcysg9nmwc1.jpg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=422b452d45cc3cdbc516542d4670ca4bf768af09 submitted by /u/Few-Historian-9582 [link] [comments]

the most iconic element of the dune franchise is the sandworms. they are among the most iconic giant monsters in all of pop culture. given their iconography, you'd think that dune parts 1 and 2 would feature them pretty prominently. well, no actually. in the first dune movie, the sandworm only has about a minute of screentime. and in part 2, they have slightly more screentime but not a whole lot. however, this is actually not a terrible thing. although they don't have much screentime, they make what little screentime they have count. they are at the center of some of the best scenes of the duology. also, overusing them would have desensitized us to them and made them less impressive. it's like the shark from jaws. it builds up the sandworms and then gives us a glorious reveal. the usage of the sandworms is a perfect example of less being more. submitted by /u/herequeerandgreat [link] [comments]

The film was directed by Reinaldo Green mostly known for TV and written by Zach Baylin who was an absolute unknown. Will’s performance was not the strongest. (Hunching your shoulders, enunciating every other consonant, while wearing very vivid short-short jacket wardrobes only goes so far.) However, the movie was beautifully shot. The way the van, tennis balls, and King Richard’s wardrobe were treated as focal points in each scene they appeared in was excellent. The framing and movement were on point. The cinematographer, Robert Elswit, won Will his Oscar. Take a look at his IMDB. Rob has had his hand in some very excellent films. What other films has an actor won an Oscar heavily determined by someone else’s effort on the film? submitted by /u/GIGLI_WASNT_THAT_BAD [link] [comments]

I have an extensive Blu ray and UHD movie collection with 1156 movies so far but I also collect fake movie props, my collection includes the number plate from Back to the Future, the Golden Idol and the Cup of Christ from Indiana Jones, two replicas of the Oscar statues (identical to the real statue), the statue from The Maltese Falcon (20 cms in height), the mask from Halloween, a clapper board and film reels. I also have a signed photo of Robert Englund (as Freddy Krueger), and a signed photo of John Rhys-Davies (as Sallah) (from a meet and greet, lovely man). submitted by /u/KerrAvon777 [link] [comments]

And I’m not just talking about the more obvious examples of movies with plainly outdated / insensitive jokes— I’m more interested in movies that you just don’t find nearly as funny after rewatches. Or maybe a movie that you just don’t happen to find funny anymore. The best comedies are the ones where you notice new jokes each time or some punchlines work better when you hear them again, but some just get old quick. Edit: this is by far the most entertaining post I’ve ever made on Reddit, thank you everyone for your nuanced & raw opinions, I love yall seriously 🙏🏼❤️ submitted by /u/yun444g [link] [comments]

Recently seen Skeleton Key, The Sixth Sense, Come Back to Me and Seven Pounds. Sixth Sense has a massive twist at the end. Seven Pounds has Will Smith acting very oddly for 90.minutes then he reveals his reasons why in the last moments. Skeleton Key had an ending I didn't see coming at all. Come Back to Me was an average film (17% Rotten Tomatoes) but the last 5 minutes made it a film I kept on thinking about for days. So now I need more! More please. Recommend me some good mysterious films with great ending moments. submitted by /u/Stevepiers [link] [comments]

It’s probably a long shot but I’m wondering if there are other movies out there that are about people who are obsessed with something in pop-culture. It doesn’t need to be sci-fi focused like the two I mentioned. Something about these movies hits the nostalgia strings pretty hard and I’d love to find more like them. submitted by /u/Jalega23 [link] [comments]

I couldn't sleep last night. The other day, someone asked me what the worst movie I ever saw was. I know there are worse ones, but this one is definitely the most recent one that stands out in my mind. And ever since, I haven't been able to get it out of my head. I went to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 in theaters with my family last fall. The first one had been a staple in my household for over 20 years, endlessly quoted at every dinner. Last summer, we finally watched the second one (several years after it came out), and even though there were some funny parts, it didn't quite match the quality of the first one. Still, it was entertaining enough. When the third one hit theaters, we decided we wouldn't fall behind, so we went to go see it. What a mistake. As soon as the opening scene began with the "family photos" (really just screenshots from the first two movies in a picture frame slideshow template found on iMovie), I found out everything I needed to know. This was going to be a very, very bad movie. The next two hours were agonizing and excruciating. I often found my mind wanting to wander, and I fought to pay attention to the movie playing in front of me. Not a laugh was heard throughout the entire theater. I felt like getting up, but I couldn't leave my family there. Why was it so bad? So many reasons. There were entire scenes with characters on their own, just wandering around the beach aimlessly, with absolutely no effect on the plot or their own character development. I could tell from the actors' facial expressions that they received zero direction apart from, "Just walk that way and look over there." The characters were all isolated (like in the painful final season of How I Met Your Mother), and any character that did have any sort of dialogue (like the aunt) was a caricature of themselves (I have to give her credit for trying). None of the jokes landed, and sometimes the delivery and timing was so bad that I felt myself physically cringe (squirm) in my seat. The editing was choppy and off, sometimes cutting away too quickly and other times staying on a scene for several seconds too long. One of the characters (Victory) was endlessly annoying and unrealistic (like imagine if a kindergartener became the mayor of a town and repeated the same catchphrase in every scene). Some plot lines vanished into thin air, and other ones failed to make anyone care. The whole thing just made me think the movie had been made as an excuse for the cast and crew to go vacation in Greece and, oh, make a movie too on the side. It was very difficult to see how Tom Hanks agreed to produce something like this. It was such a far cry from the first movie. At the end (finally) when we walked out of the theater, my brother asked me for my honest thoughts. I turned to him and said, "That may be one of the worst movies I have ever seen." Has anyone else seen this movie? What were your thoughts? submitted by /u/hawkyeager [link] [comments]

In the era of laserdisc, DVD and Blu-Ray, commentary tracks were great for cinephiles. You were able to catch insight from the director, writers, and often stars of the film and it was often really fun and insightful. As much as I love being able to stream most any movie instantly, I miss the intimate details that commentary tracks often provided to the film. I’d love it if streaming services could offer this when you rent a movie. submitted by /u/artguydeluxe [link] [comments]

For those who don't know, "Caddyshack" was originally supposed to be a somewhat serious/somewhat comedic coming of age story about two recent high school graduates (those being Danny Noonan and Tony D'Annuzio) working at Bushwood Country Club over the summer while trying to figure out their future plans and encountering all sorts of whacky characters in the process. But the production was a mess, fueled by inexperience (many young actors were amateurs and Harold Ramis was a first time director who had to deal with producer meddling), the weather (Hurricane Dave blew through on the first day of shooting) and massive partying/drug use (the shoot was described as "an 11 week party, legendary even by Hollywood standards"). As such, the resulting footage was a mess, but because the seasoned comedy pros they hired for the supporting characters were good at their jobs, the film gradually morphed into an ensemble comedy abut whacky hijinks at a country club with Danny Noonan still the nominal main character (D'Annuzio however got reduced to supporting character, much to the dismay of his actor), but overshadowed by Chevy Chase, Ted Knight, Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield (the latter two in particular getting much bigger roles than originally planned due to their renowned improvisation skills). As Ramis put it once, they planned on a coming of age film and instead made a Marx Brothers film with Dangerfield in the Groucho role, Chase as Chico, Murray as Harpo and Michael O'Keefe's Danny as the bland Zeppo equivalent. (I guess that analogy makes Knight the Margaret Dumont.) Even the gopher that Murray tangles with was a last minute addition to help tie the plot together. To say the film was a mess was a understatement. And yet, somehow it all worked, the film was a smash and is an endearing comedy classic. If it had gone right and come out the earnest coming of age story it was intended to be, would it be as beloved as it is? Somehow, I doubt it. Sometimes a happy accident is best with a film's production. submitted by /u/Mst3Kgf [link] [comments]

Like the title says, what are some of the best prison escape movies in your opinion? Movies that are exciting and captivating, the best in the "genre". I'm writing a script and looking for some inspiration! Alternatively, it doesn't have to be a prison, but characters escaping some kind of captivity. submitted by /u/Jakobekvall [link] [comments]

The man is never not great. He has a terrific screen presence, his voice has this soothing quality to it. I remember reading somewhere he was close to being The Hulk in the Ang Lee 2003 version but turned it down & with it a huge payday. I guess he didn’t want to play that “One for them, one for me” game. Now he seems to be thriving in supporting roles which is cool. Whatever works. But I always thought he’d be the next BIG thing. And it never turned out that way, which was maybe his choice? Everytime I watch Almost Famous I’m just struck by his screen presence. The camera loves him. He’s got the magic. You can’t learn that, either you got it or you don’t. submitted by /u/MrGittz [link] [comments]

Hello everyone! You may be familiar with my story, which has been shared over the years on Reddit. In 1998 in Japan, I won an audition to take part in a challenge. I was led into a room, ordered to strip naked, and left with a stack of magazines and postcards. My task was to enter contests in order to win food, clothing and prizes to survive, until I reached the prize goal of 1 million yen. This lasted 15 months, all while 15 million people watched me - without my consent. Hulu will be releasing a documentary on my life called "The Contestant," premiering on May 2. You can watch the trailer HERE. I'm looking forward to answering your questions on Wednesday 4/24 starting at 12:30 pm PT/3:30 pm ET. Thank you!
