Alright. Personally I am a total movie buff. I breathe film. What about you guys though? Do you enjoy some good kino? Besides the Star Wars movies, of course. I'm interested in what kind of movies you guys would recommend. Post your favorite movies/reccomendation lists in this thread. TV shows count too! Here's a small entry-tier list from yours truly. Interesting movies but not too deep. (not in any particular order) The Shining A Clockwork Orange No Country For Old Men There Will Be blood The Prestige Green Room Prisoners Fallen Angels (1995) Enemy Fargo American Psycho Alien True Grit Se7en Taxi Driver Sunshine Happiness 2001: A Space Odyssey The Big Lebowski Oldboy (2003) Lord Of The Rings Seven Samurai(1954)
I love movies full of action set in dark universes so I'm gonna list some of those. Equlibrium The Matrix The Matrix Reloaded The Matrix Revolutions Underworld Underworld: Evolution Underworld: Rise of the Lycans Blade Blade II Blade Trinity The Chronicles of Riddick Hellboy John Wick The Equalizer Resident Evil Overall, if there's a highly overpowered badass that does crazy stuff in the action movie you like, send it over to me xD
I like movies of all sorts, Westerns, Crime, Mystery, War, you name it. Heres a few that come to mind. The Magnificent Seven (old & new) Deadpool Training Day Malcolm X Man on Fire 2 Guns American History X Fight Club LoTR (all of them) Star Trek (new ones) Hell or High Water Open Range Legends of the Fall Mr. and Mrs. Smith BraveHeart Lethal Weapon 1,2,3 & 4 Lone Survivor Saving Private Ryan We Were Soldiers American Sniper There Will Be Blood Lincoln Wall Street The Wolf of Wall Street The ShawShank Redemption Bruce Almighty Evan Almighty Slap Shot Goon Apocalypse Now The Shining Taxi Driver Casino Goodfellas Analyze This and many, many, MANY more. I could go on forever.
(In no order) Star Trek (All of 'em except The Motion Picture and Nemesis, you can skip them ) Independence Day (Haven't seen Resurgence, but the first one is badass.) The Lego Movie Mars Attacks Groundhog Day UHF Harry Potter (All) The Monuments Men The Martian Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Batman (1989) All of the MCU films except the Thor movies, haven't watched those. Spider Man 1&2 (Toby McGuire versions) The X-Men films Batman v. Superman (Shut up it's not that bad ) Those are all that come to mind now. There are many more, of course.
My top 15 movies would be these(not from best to worst, I'd rate all of these 5/5). They all possess, imo, an excellent story, great acting and dialogue, an intriguing atmosphere and very rich, divergent ideas and details about the worlds they tell about. 1. Inception(2010) 2. Casablanca(1942) 3. The Matrix(1999) 4. A Clockwork Orange(1971) 5. Goodfellas(1990) 6. The Maltese Falcon(1941) 7. The Godfather movies 8. L.A Confidential(1997) 9. Inglorious Basterds(2009) 10. Sin City(2005) 11. Gangs of New York(2002) 12. Pulp Fiction(1994) 13. Memento(2000) 14. Doctor Strangelove(1964) 15. Fight Club(1999) Apart from this list, I would consider Martin Scorsese, Christoper Nolan and Stanley Kubrick as my favorite movie directors. I love most of their works and their way to tell unique stories is astonishing. I also love old Film Noir and gangster movies. As for TV shows, here we go: 1. Babylon 5. A long space opera epic with a strong but classic and slow storytelling. Lots of unique characters, strong character development, great OST, a blur border between good and evil, moral conflicts and hints to modern politics. 2. Game of Thrones. Intriguing story line and lots of political power struggles. Gotta love it. 3. Boardwalk Empire. A crime drama about famous gangsters of the 20's making their living by smuggling liquors and drugs during the time of the prohibition. Again a great story, unique characters and OST. 4. Marvel's Daredevil. Same as before: great story, writing and characters. 5. Breaking Bad. Excellent crime drama about drugs and drug lords.
