I'm hosting a groundhog day party soon and I'm looking for movies or TV shows (other than Groundhog Day of course lol) that I can use for a trivia game (e.g., name the movie this groundhog screenshot came from). My searches are coming up short, can anyone think of any that they've seen before or heard of? submitted by /u/bird-bath33 [link] [comments]

​What are your top horror movies? Why/what's the movie about? For me it's ghosts, hauntings. So, these are my go-to's but what else should be on the list? The Shining Amityville Horror Rosemary's Baby The Exorcist Carrie Stepford Wives original ​​That 70s movie about that lady named Sally with the little weird creatures that escaped from the furnace. That was wild. ​​Scary Movie 2 is a comedy but I'll put it on the list anyway ​​I haven't watched Scream in so long that I don't really remember if I was scared at all when I saw that. ​​I don't care for gruesome gore. Back in the day a group of guys invited me to go watch Saw with them and I went having no backstory on the movie. ​​I walked out of the theater after the first scene. ​​What other haunting movies should be on my list? What have you watched and enjoyed? Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/Used-Opposite-7363 [link] [comments]

When someone mentions “DVD Special Features,” what is the FIRST one that pops into your head from yesteryear? For me, it’s definitely "The Lost Tape: Andy's Terrifying Last Days Revealed" on the DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004) remake. That 17 minutes just really stuck with me… For me, it’s definitely "The Lost Tape: Andy's Terrifying Last Days Revealed" on the DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004) remake.

A safari guide (Cornel Wilde) cautions the hunting party he is leading to respect the African natives they encounter. Instead of heeding this advice, one of the party actively insults the tribe, which captures and kills the entire group. Only the guide is spared. But he is stripped of his clothing, and given a head start before the warriors give chase. Using his knowledge of the land and resourcefulness, the guide must make his way back to the closest British fort. I liked the film it’s very intense but I wouldn’t say it’s a favorite of mine, there are scenes where animals are being hunted but the film is very well shot in the African landscape. Cornel Wilde not only stars in the film but he also co produced and directed the film. The film’s language is 95% Afrikaans and 1% English but you watch the film for the intensity. The film is crazy how they got away with some of the scenes back in 1965. submitted by /u/Mikeyboy101591 [link] [comments]

A rule of thumb for playwrights is that any significant story element introduced early in the play should have some sort of payoff before the play ends. If you introduce a gun in act one of a three act play, it better go off in act three or it was an extraneous detail that should be excised from the script. The same rule is often applied to movies as well. My question is what examples of an anti-Chekhov gun are there: not just a plot device that has no payoff but a plot device that is introduced and subsequently works in a way antithetical to the way the movie explains. Basically how many movies lie to the audience. Two examples come to mind: in Jurassic Park, it's shown early on that the t-rexes are so massive that their footsteps can be heard from far away and shake the ground but later in the climax, a T-Rex seemingly appears out of nowhere with no warning. In Ant Man, it's explained that items that are shrunk down maintain their mass, that's why a punch from a microscopic Ant Man packs the punch of a full grown adult yet we see later in the movie that Hank Pym is carrying around a shrunk down tank that should way thousands of pounds on a keychain. submitted by /u/kryonik [link] [comments]

Does anyone else get so easily depressed after finishing a movie/series? I dread completing a film, because I know I will get sad and numb after and it just makes me less enthusiastic to watch more films. I just completed "A silent voice" it is a beautiful movie and I got so invested that when it ended it felt like i fell into a void, I have no idea how to explain it. I dont know if this is the appropriate place to Post this but I will anyway. submitted by /u/PlusCompetition9196 [link] [comments]

I thought I had watched The Third Man long ago, but I did all I remembered was the jangly zither music. Another masterful noir film. Post-War Vienna, with its magnificent architecture so damaged by the war, and all those characters that were hired…. Really set the tone. And Welles’ performance was terrific. Going from that jaunty, cocky con-man (when he finally appears) to the hunted and hopeless individual in the end scenes…. submitted by /u/Bikewer [link] [comments]

Just finished The Prestige and damn my brain is spinning. I went in thinking it’s just two rival magicians trying to outsmart each other. But nah, this movie is way twisty.. The biggest shock for me was Borden being two people. Alfred and Fallon were twins the whole time, living one life as one man. That’s why sometimes he is loving and sometimes cold. Sometimes he cares for his wife and sometimes he feels like a stranger. They literally destroyed their personal lives just to protect one magic trick. That’s crazy dedication. Then Angier… this part really messed me up. I thought he finally used a double. But no, Tesla’s machine was real. It was cloning him. Every single show, one Angier survives and the other one dies in the tank. He never even knows if he will be the man who lives or the man who drowns. He keeps killing himself again and again just to win. That is straight up disturbing. Then I realized the opening murder wasn’t even normal murder. Angier planned his own death to frame Borden. He sacrificed himself just to destroy his enemy. That’s how deep his obsession went. The ending hurt. One Angier is drowning in the tank and the other is bleeding on the floor. No winners at all. Just two broken men who ruined their lives for obsession. submitted by /u/InvestigatorFull7520 [link] [comments]

Ive just watched it today. I am an older person, however this did kick me in the feels. Wonderfully shot, beautifully made. Make the time to see it. It’s a slow burner however it did make me think about life and how we see it. It made me feel like something is missing in my own life. Maybe for the good or not, i don’t know. Just take out some time and watch. submitted by /u/vipertwin [link] [comments]

I get that production on this elite film was INSANE and basically no other hybrid film like that could match it. But why, in nearly 40 years, has nearly no studio greenlit something similar? Is it because Cool World bombed colossally? Literally the only examples I can think of after that are Looney Tunes: Back in Action, and the upcoming Coyote vs. Acme. (Space Jam doesn't really count in this way, it only has two scenes that blend 2D characters into a 3D world) I mean, sure, theatrical hand-drawn animation in the West is on life support, but Coyote vs Acme had to be dragged out the doldrums to even be released! submitted by /u/4thGenTrombone [link] [comments]

When two characters talk between each other in a language, and switch to another (mainly English), most of the time it feels weird, forced. For example, when Legolas and Aragorn speak Elvish just to suddenly change to English to deliver the phrase. It delivers, it serves a dramatic purpose, but most of the time it feels unrealistic. In Rental Family, this felt completely the opposite. When Brendan Fraser's character speaks in Japanese, it's natural, it fits the context, and it's a realistic use: ordering ramen, when first contacting a person... And when he switches to English, it feels so real, he speaks it with people that fit it: a child learning it in school, a renowned filmmaker who has probably traveled around the world... Not only the context is "justified", but he's constantly switching from English to Japanese, and it flows so naturally. It was beautiful to hear and see this movie. submitted by /u/Caesar213 [link] [comments]

Some films build incredible tension, character development, and momentum, only to stumble in the final act with a rushed resolution, a contrived twist, or a tonal shift that doesn’t land. This isn’t about endings you simply didn’t like, but ones that felt like a narrative or structural letdown after a strong setup. Consider: I Am Legend (original vs. alternate ending). Sunshine (2007) – shift from sci-fi to horror. Law Abiding Citizen – final resolution debates. 10 Cloverfield Lane – divisive finale. If you were in the editing room, how would you have reshaped the final act to preserve the film’s earlier brilliance? submitted by /u/John_Snow80 [link] [comments]

The original films are always infinitely better, as the remakes lack in artistry, cohesion, imagination and execution. They're so grey and muddled. They're ugly, poorly adapted and so so GREY! If they're not washing out the colors of what was once a vibrant animated feature, then they're completely missing the point of central story and character arcs. They also ruin the music! What's the point of engaging with these? What's the point of entertaining this kind of mediocrity in the industry, when the originals are available and always much better? EDIT: I miss integrity :/ EDIT 2: My first edit was a joke submitted by /u/flowersnifferrr [link] [comments]

Saw this last night and really enjoyed it. A lot of the humour is more hit than miss for me. Laughed out loud several times. Which I didn't even do when I saw The Naked Gun (2025). 1) Hard to believe Ben Stiller has been married to this hottie for over 20 years! 2) And the cameos! One of them in particular has not aged well. All in all, I am glad I saw this. submitted by /u/Southern-Brother5693 [link] [comments]

I’m seeing people post videos of the Stranger Things cast kind of having weird reactions to the story/writing, and it reminded me of the time where this exact thing happened with Game of Thrones, where the final season was not well received and it looked apparent that the cast also didn’t like it. It got me wondering, has there ever been a notable instance where an actor or actress was like “Yeah no, this shit straight up sucks” on a press tour? I understand this means they’d probably get blacklisted and probably wouldn’t find any acting jobs after, but I’m wondering if maybe someone with enough notoriety could get away with it. submitted by /u/BIGxBOSSxx1 [link] [comments]
