-
Princess Mononoke.
Star Wars: Episode III.
And more I can't think of.
-
Last Samurai, Batman Begins, Kingdom of Heaven, Troy, Night at the Roxbury, uh...Breakfast Club or something
I like epic war movies because they usually impart a strong moral.
-
Oh, yeah, Vanilla Sky and Gladiator. Loved those, too.
-
I thought Saw was kind of bleh myself...I mean, all they had to do was touch the guy's body ONCE and they would have realized he wasn't dead...I mean, jeeze, and that guy was a doctor too...wtf I say...I'll get to mine in a bit...

HELLO they were chained up! they couldn't touch him because they were too far.

they could of throwen a saw at him or the tape player :P
-
Some of my favorites in no real order:
Andrei Rublev (epic and challenging Russian film)
Seven Samurai (greatest samurai movie ever!)
8 1/2 (Strangest and most frustrating movie you will likely ever see...)
Donnie Darko (Time travel elements remind me of the Chrono series...)
Requiem for a Dream (Among the most disturbing movies ever...)
Vertigo (How could I leave off Alfred Hitchcock???)
These are just a few, I'm a big movie buff.
BTW, Batman Begins was very good, bodes well for the future of the franchise.
-
Lol I always think about throwing things at a dead body when I'm chaned to a wall...
First they say it stinks, they open the light they see a body with blood around him... They haven't even had the slight idea that he may be fake.
If you're gonna say "hey they should have done that...", think about that one, the doctor remover his shirt to hum you know what so he can get the phone, he could have tried to get it using his shirt and some other thing.
And anyone know if there was any way you could know who the jigsaw killer was?
-
Fight Club
American Beauty
Pulp Fiction
Requium for a Dream
Lost in Translation
Garden State
Eulogy
If you want an AWESOME time travel movie, go and get Primer.
-
Even if they didn't think he was faking, it just seems like any respectable doctor would actually check to see if he was alive or not...I mean, they just go off the word of the psychopath that put them in there? It's rediculous...DAMN! I still have to get my list ready...
-
Ok here think about this
You'r ein a dark room and it stinks
You open the light and a dead body over a pool of blood is on the floor
The dead body has a gun and a tape recorder
You can assume that he stabbed itelf to death with the tape recorder or shot itself in the head which you can see is deformed
a voice tell them that when there is that much poison in your veine you'll rather shoot yourself
+ you're chained to a pipe...
You,r eprobably right the first thing I would do is throw thing at the guy see if he's dead or not :roll: I was sarcastic
And anyone know if there was any way you could know who the jigsaw killer was?
I looked over on the internet and the only solid proof was the fact that the doctor told the people that his patien had a uncurable head cancer or something and the police said once that ythe jigsaw had a had cancer.
If you want an AWESOME time travel movie, go and get Primer.
Can you help me ther eI watched it today and I didn't quite understand it here what I think that happens
**spoiler**
ok skip to the part where the wife called him with his cell phone, he trvael back in time and forgot to close it. Then when she call him it calls the double, with cause some paradox or something and they had to go back to do somethign to stop all that and they did something so the machine wouldn,t be created and they go away (well one goes away) ?
I think I didn,t quite understand it fi you could explain it abit I would watch it again and see if I would understand it better
-
Seven Samurai (greatest samurai movie ever!)
Forgot about this. I got the chance to watch it on AMC in June, and it was indeed amazing.
Some people say I look like Donnie Darko, but I dunno.
-
Let's see...
Start with Trek, get it out of the way:
Star Trek II
Star Trek: First Contact
Recent movies:
Hero (Love it, just gotta read it instead of listen)
The Last Samurai
I, Robot
Batman Begins
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
And everything else:
The Princess Bride (hilarious)
M*A*S*H
The Music Man
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
-
Lord of the Rings, Gladiator, The Usual Suspects, Old Star Wars Trilogy, Braveheart, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, etc.
(Honestly, though, it's really hard to name the top ones, especially those I've not seen in a while... I mean, there are a lot of very good movies that I simply forget about in lists like this that may not be very top like Star Wars and the like, but are truly deserving of merit. Say, Princess Bride which someone just mentioned. Very good movie right there.)
-
OK, I'll do a short, quick list...
Mulholland Dr.
Napoleon Dynomite
Donnie Darko
Kill Bill 1 & 2
Batman Begins
Evil Dead
Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn *favorite of the three Evil Deads*
Army of Darkness
Akira
Princess Mononoke
I also have to give props to X2 because it contains one of my favorite fight scenes ever between Logan & Yuriko.
And I also give props to Cowboy Bebop because Ed is, like, one of my favorite characters ever. She's seriously up there w/Magus, I think...
PROBABLY MORE L8R!!!
-
Dreams, directed by Akira Kurosawa
-
AHAHAH evil dead, when I saw that movie I was like "wtf..." the zombie stab his leg with a pencil and the is so much blood it's imposible...
Unsual suspect eh? Since my father download alots of movie I saw alot of old movies, he has like 25 Zombie movies I didn,t knew so much existed.
I watched that movie and it was really good. :)
-
:? Uh, but the Usual Suspects isn't a zombie movie...
Some people mentioned Kung Power: Enter the Fist...I like that (and own it), good movie...Although I was pissed that the previews showed all of the dumb parts (the cow matrix thing for example)...I wish I had seen it in the theaters.
Also, after watching both again, one for the third time and the other for the bajillionth, I became shocked and appalled when I realized I didn't mention either here...
First off...Ali G is byfar one of the funniest movies out there...Good times. I watched the show on HBO once a long time ago, it was hilarious.
And secondly, a movie I've watched many, many times...and consequently a book that I've read :P Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas. It's one of the most awesome movies I've ever had the opprotunity to watch. The book likewise kicks ass. It's based on the events that happened to the late-great, awesome, doctor of journalism himself, Mr. Hunter S. Thompson. MOURN HIS LOSS, WHICH IS OUR LOSS AS WELL!!!
-
I knw the usual suspect isn't a Zombie movie I was just saying that my dad downloaded old movies like some Zombie movie and Usual suspect.
I watched yesterday "La guerre des mondes" which would translated to "Worlds' War" ? Me and my friend were talking and he said we will probably jsut watch if for the specials effects and in fact we did because the story is absed on a novel and I bet they added the introduction it doesn't make sense with the story and you see that the guy watch stopped working but when the ripod begun killing people "WOW A CAMERA!" I won't tell more but there are two major things I could say but those would maybe spoil the movie so I'll leave it be.

As far as it sounds, that introduction (and conclusion), sounds like a turn-of-the-century style of writing - after all, would they say 'God' in these days? - and thus is likely not written for the movie, but rather is directly from the book War of the Worlds by HG Wells. But as far as them having a bearing on the story... they most certainly did! They were inherently, and very well, tied into it. So, no, they didn't add the introduction, I am fully certain of that.
Now, the effects were good, but it was told in an interesting way so as to show the pure terror of an alien invasion. I think, however, I can guess one of the other flaws you think of. Now, no-one read this if they do not want to be spoiled (I'll make it small, you can copy it somewhere else and expand the font size): why couldn't the aliens be sealed off from the disease spread by the ameoba's, right? The thing is, the story seems to follow the book - though I've never read it - and when it was written some hundred years ago, there was no way to seal off an area from microbes. As for the introduction, again, it was speaking about the ameoba's, and though they seem insignificant to those used to the planet, they would be the doom to invaders.
As far as cameras and the like go, remember: the person holding the camera may not have been within the area of EMP effect.
-
About the camere, why all the car around him stopped but not the camera...
for the flaws read the small words :P
I said the intro was certainly added, because it said that we were being studied hard by alien, but they never thoguh of a single virus...?
And somewhere they say that they didn,t care about the humans, but they were killing them one by one, sending cameras in absement to amke sure every human was dead...
That's my thouigh about it and I think I should read the book and see for myself if it's bette ror not.
lol I wnated to download the Audio Book, try once what it feel to lsiten to a book, so It ried two version, but I didn,t chekc the file size and I one was delayed because the user disconnected, now I got the other file I check the name it's the original broadcast that was on live radio and that made people run away from new York and all, it is poor quality, so I will wait for the auther one to finish but I wanted to share this with you.
-
Uh, I highly doubt that the "God" reference was in H.G. Wells' book because he was a vehement atheist if I remember correctly...
I tried reading the book once...It is very...VERY boring...The main guy in the book is basically running around london (or whereever...I forget...I think it was london though) for...oh, i dunno...over half of the book...which was as far as I could get w/o slitting my wrists. I wouldn't mind trying the radio broadcast sometime though...But doubt if I ever will...The old movie was great because of the awesome sound effects of the alien's lasers and stuff...GENIUS! Haven't seen the new one though...
-
Anchorman
Napoleon
Star Wars: Episodes III-VI
Fight Club
Billy Madison
Happy Gilmore
Ocean's Eleven
Troy
and of course the greatest movie of all time
DAWN OF THE DEAD
it has anything you could ever ask for in a movie. Shaun of the dead was ridiculous too, actually, i like any zombie movies a lot (28 days later counts, so does evil dead because it has the awesome ridiculousness in it that i like.)
-
Yeah, H.G. Wells was like Captain Atheist.
But anyway, here's my list of awesome movies, in no particular order:
The Star Wars saga (I-VI)
Lord of the Rings
Batman Begins
Men In Black I & II
Hero
Happy Gilmore
Billy Madison
Army of Darkness
Kill Bill
Napoleon Dynamite
Indiana Jones trilogy
Braveheart
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek: First Contact
The Princess Bride
The Lion King
Toy Story I & II
Shrek I & II
-
Oh shit, yeah, I totally forgot Shaun of the Dead. That movie was great. Yeaaah boooiiiiiiii!!! They should make a 'survival' zombie video game more like that (and not on sucky XBOX...but that's another story).
And Hadriel, where's the Wrath of Khan love?
KHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
-
It was good, sure, but not good enough to be counted among my favorites.
-
Yeah, really, I only mentioned it so I could yell out his name...It's so fun!
-
aw c'mon
you know that part where the guy gets pulled through the window of the winchester and litterally ripped open is the best scene in movie history.
the scene where he kills him mom is so gripping...you expect it to be funny somehow, which leads to an even deeper depression when its just sad...
-
I watched "Dawn of the Dead" the original and new one and the new one sucked ass, the zombies were faster than humans, OUATE DE PHOQUE!
Shawn of the dead was funny, but I think there could have many more jokes... it semmed empty.
Anyone watched "Night of the living Dead" (yes it's monochrome, so what?) I lvoed the ending ^-^
-
Yeah, I kind of liked how in the new DotD that the zombies could actually, like, run...Because really normal movie zombies (so unlike real life zombies, right? :P) aren't very threatening because of how slow they move...All they normally have is vast numbers...I like how in Shaun of the Dead they make it out into a fun thing, like taking pop shots at zombies could be a pass time or something.
She's soooo DRUNK!
That's exactly how it'd be in RL. hahahha!
-
Well I think it's in the latest Dawn of the dead, that they write a name on a whit eboard and someone guy would try to find that person (zombie-person) and head shot, it was pretty funny.
-
Uh, yeah, that was Shaun of the Dead...and that was exactly what I was talking about...
-
Oh I didn't know that was in shaun of the dead, but it was in Dawn of the Dead, the remake.
-
Movies eh?
(In some sort of an order)
Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man
Donnie Darko
Ferris Bueler's Day Off
Terminator 2
Event Horizon
Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas
Butterfly Effect
Day After Tommorrow
Dumb and Dumber
Star Wars IV-VI
Aladdin
The Lion King
Tommy Boy
Black Sheep
Bruce Almighty
War of the Worlds was pretty good, but I think that Tom's character made some bad decisions.
[SPOILERS]
When he first went to the lightning strikes at the center of that intersection, he was an idiot for staying and watching the thing getting ready to attack. I mean come on, if you see this gigantic device come out of the ground you're telling me you are going to watch it until it does something? I don't know, it just doesn't seem like the thing to do.
Then at the boat, why get on it when you can plainly see the tanks. It's not like the boat is gonna outrun one of those things, even on the water. And being on the thing makes you a huge target, you can miss a small group of people, but its pretty damn easy to shoot at a boat teeming with people.
Considering the circumstances, I probably would have done the next thing, but it is pretty dumb. When he first saw Tim Robbins the guy was holding a shotgun in the air. I mean, if you have a 10 year old(or somewhere near there) daughter that you don't want to scar for her life, you might avoid such a situation at all costs. Especially when he started talking to her about what would happen in her dad died. I would have been thinking it was time to go.
[/SPOLIERS]
I should probably put ever Jim Carrey comdey up there, well minus the Cable Guy (shudders). But I'm lazy so I just put his two best.
Oh and Batman Begins is definetely Batman movie revivial good. Any comic fan should see it, its a really interesting origin.
-

that was dawn of the dead. they shoot rosie o'donnell and burt reynolds.
-
Land of the dead was total shit. Jonh Remero is overated.
-
ahahah talking about bad decion in War of the world
*spoiler*
Why the hell does these aliens made their tripods so tall when they planned on taking out every human one on one and they could abrley see them?
Tom close the door before killing the man with a shotgun, why didn,t he just shut the door, I mean they fight (to the death?) and you heard nearly nothing
-
Oh yeah, I'm a moron...wtf is wrong w/me...that was the new Dawn of the Dead...
-

-
Devil's Rejects looks soooo stupid. Rob Zombie sucks so badly its retarded. I heard they couldn't rate it for the longest time because of all the gore it has. I bet its realyl just too much blood that just numbs the audience after the first 5 minutes of zombie madness scenes.
Land of the dead was total shit. Jonh Remero is overated.
-
But that's what Rob Zombie's all about, plain ol' cliche zombie fun! And House of 1000 Corpses was pretty cool.
-
ZOMG, House on Haunted Hill scared me soo bad.
-
Ok, I've got more movies to add...
Requim for a Dream - Undoubtably one of my favorite movies of all time.
Baseketball - Damn, what are their other movies besides South Park, this one, and Team America? I've totally spaced on their other movie(s)...
South Park the Movie: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut
Zoolander
The Fifth Element
Seven
Snatch
Fight Club
-
Baseketball - Damn, what are their other movies besides South Park, this one, and Team America? I've totally spaced on their other movie(s)...
Orgazmo (haven't seen) and Cannibal: The Musical (have seen).
-
Why did I forget to put the South Park movie? What's wrong with me?
-
I don't watch movies... though I do for research (I am studying animation and game programming). I saw CASTLE IN THE SKY and the movie was TRULLY AMAZING, that's probably my favorite movie... until I get Nausicaa of the Wind that is...
-
Saw and the Last Samura are the best movies ever.
-
Baseketball - Damn, what are their other movies besides South Park, this one, and Team America? I've totally spaced on their other movie(s)...
Orgazmo (haven't seen) and Cannibal: The Musical (have seen).
Both are very good movies :D :P

There is not a superflous line in the movie. It's great from start to finish.
