Mads is amazing! He was a Bond villain and imo Hollywood wastes him in comic book & Star Wars movies .

Another Round. Oscar winner, 92% on RT.

Another Round review – the performance of a lifetime from Mads Mikkelsen

Four high-school teachers seek a better life on the lash in Thomas Vinterberg’s profound yet playful midlife crisis tale

www.theguardian.com

Another Round is an exhilarating existentialist film about day drinking

Mads Mikkelsen stars in an exhilarating movie that is far weightier than its premise implies.

Riders of Justice. Even better, 96% on RT.

Riders of Justice review - "Do not miss this one" | The Book of Man

Riders of Justice, starring Mads Mikkelsen, is both a deeply moving look at grief and masculinity, and a hilarious buddy comedy. Somehow.

Genius

I enjoyed this look into the lives of Thomas Wolfe and Max Perkins.

From '71, the first movie shot on videotape. I've seen it dozens of times and it never disappoints.
Ringo Starr as Frank Zappa, Keith Moon as a nun who swallows too many pills and ascends to heaven, Theodore Bikel as the devil,
if you can find the whole movie to watch you'll love it, but truly dazzling in sections on the big screen.

Tank Girl it was just as awesome as I remembered.

Tank Girl it was just as awesome as I remembered.

Yeah. That's a classic

There was a Tank Girl before the movie as well

Eyes Wide Shut / Full Metal Jacket
anybody knows movies sort of like this style of Kubrick that isn't older than 1980~ ? I don't like very old movies
thanks

 

[cybrguy]

Most of my favorite movies are from before 1980, including Kubric movies like Dr Strangelove, Clockwork Orange and Spartacus. The Shining was right on your dividing line at 1980. There are a lot of more recent movies I like as well, but many of my favs are black and white classics.

I have been trying to think of more recent films that are "like Kubrick" but I struggle to come up with any.

I recently watched Warrior again after many many years & it's as excellent as I remember. A top notch cast & not a typical fight movie.

'Warrior' Movie Review: A Compelling Tale of Redemption

On the surface, Warrior , helmed by director Gavin O'Connor, is the story of Paddy Conlon (Nick Nolte) and his estranged sons, Tommy (Tom Hardy) and Brendan (Joel Edgerton), all ...

And this time, I immediately recognized one of my favorite indie bands in the soundtrack.

Highly recommended, cheers & enjoy

Hey
I am looking for a movie similar to : Identity / Phone booth / Panic room / Shutter Island / The sixth sense / The machinist / The platform

TIA

 

[Striped121]

Watched this the again other day. Still cracks me up .

 

[vapognak]

My dinner with André
Mind blowing.

 

[Petrolhead]

Original sin !
With Antonio Banderas, Angelina Jolie.
Great story about how can a woman make a man do whatever she wants

With what seems to be an overall rise in "mental health" issues portrayed in film (cinema) by young(er-ish) directors such as Ari Aster, Alex Garland and Jordan Peele (even) etc recently (of course really starting kinda, in the modern sense, with Darren Aronofsky, Lars von Trier, PT Anderson etc)... I did watch another great film again recently on the subject by another great (NYC) director that died pretty young, John Cassavetes. If you have any interest on the subject and have not seen this film, I suggest you do so... jaw-droppingly "good":

A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE

A Woman Under the Influence (1974) Original Trailer [HD]

 

[macbill]

I just watched The Days of Wine & Roses from 1962. The movie describes the descent into chronic alcoholism by a couple (Jack Lemon, Lee Remick). It's a tragic tale of survival with only one half of the couple able to kick the habit. It won all sorts of awards. As a chronic alcoholic with 37 years sobriety, this is one of my favorite films.

@GoldenBud - based on your request, you might like Jacob's Ladder, Taxi Driver, and/or Apocalypse Now.

Recent great movies I've seen- In the Mouth of Madness, The Wailing, The Thing (rewatch but great nonetheless).

Curious if anyone has seen 'Beau is Afraid'?

 

[GoldenBud]

@GoldenBud - based on your request, you might like Jacob's Ladder, Taxi Driver, and/or Apocalypse Now.

Thanks, Apocalypse Now is sort of something similar to Full Metal Jacket right?
Taxi Driver is somehow like Eyes Wide Shut? I had seen it before. but long time ago.
If you liked Taxi Driver, I can recommend about the movie Scent Of A Woman.

If you did like any of these : Identity / Phone booth / Panic room / Shutter Island / The sixth sense / The machinist / The platform
I can recommend the movie Hush

 

[florduh]

I somehow only watched this absolute banger last weekend.

 

[Kaiju]

@GoldenBud those movies have similar elements but they are also different enough.

Will check out Scent of a Woman and some of the others I haven't seen.

If you're looking for very high quality Crime/Drama/Mystery, True Detective season 1 is a materpiece. started watching this yesterday, it's one of the best ever imho.

Yeah, it was pretty good but the best tv show/season to date was easily the first season of Deadwood... No wonder AI took over Hollysuck... and rightfully so. They ain't my fuckin' "royalty", that's for DAMN sure.

First season of Fargo was ok, same with Stranger Things... Loved Breaking Bad but still nowhere near S01DW and Ozark was barely just ok. Sopranos and Six Feet Under was pretty good, too.


You people will watch anything, huh...? Even you so called "stoners"...?

 

[LesPlenty]

You people will watch anything, huh...?

Yep, but this thread is for movies...Get to the chopper!
I watch Predator every few years and the special effects get worse with every larger TV I get.
Another fav is Trinity,
