Speaking of docs, that is a damn enjoyable watch, too. Still blows my mind how young they are in so much of that footage. And on that note, loudQUIETloud is a great insight to Pixies zaniness too, left off of earlier lists. |

Dude was a quite insightful. His songs of praise probably got me into Takeshi Kitano movies. |

I've always wanted to enjoy that more than I do. I think the problem is I'm a total Senna fanboy who would've probably been happier with 2 hours of various talking heads simply talking about how great he was. There's so much mythology built up around him, which his cult fandom essentially feeds off, that I actually didn't like seeing any of it chipped away in order to present a more balanced, and certainly truer account. |

Found a DVD of his in my drawer, so I put Can’t or Won’t Not on YouTube. That was really nice. And funnily enough....I just recently watched Hana-Bi recently too. Immediately thought of him when I put it on. |
 Not the best Hitchcock movie but definitely a good one  I really liked this one. Great acting by Viggo as well as most of the kids especially the one wearing the gas mask |
^^ i liked captain fantastic tons too
- anyway the coen bros “hail, caesar!” was great and hilarious  shot by roger deakins and everything in it is really great and smart and tons of fun |
I mostly just watch old westerns now
Hammer horror too |
dark star (john carpenter, 1974)
 this was a fucking revelation. truckers in space 5 years before alien! and “alien“ before “alien”! except hilarious satire instead of horror. borrows a bit from pkd too. dan o’bannon! who knew??? and john carpenter right out of film school (i think this was a student project that grew into a feature?’ highly recommended to everyone. wow! blew my mind. and i laughed so hard. |
Been watching a lot of stuff on HBO Max. I watched Man Bites Dog a couple nights ago and The Lego Movie last night.

One of my favorite films of the 90's. Saw it alone in a grimy art house theater upon release. It still holds up today as anarchic/incisive comedy. |
 a doc about CBGB's i hate one thing about this movie, there was nothing about sonic youth and no-wave scene! |
Quote:
oh, it's not a documentary. it's a heavily fictionalized account. :D |
Quote:
YES! Carpenter went on to make more polished films but considering the limitations of budget and that it was essentially a student project (at least to begin with) it really can't be faulted. So many memorable scenes. So many quotable lines. And how many SF films have a country song for a theme tune? Love it to bits. |
That Dark Star can be watched in full on Youtube btw, thanks for the recommendation. It was cool, especially the super hightech alien, it surely must have cost a fortune in CGI etc :D
This forum has been down so long, that I forgot what movies I watched. This one was nice, especially because the woman really existed:  |
My memory is returning bits by bits. This one was very funny:
 This is the movie, there's also a TV series that I've not seen (but it's running on BBC). Possibly the first New Zealand movie I've ever seen (?) |
Great movie, great series. Both are deeply bad ass and hilarious
|
 Great movie! It's now also available on Netflix, highly recommended! It's a bit of an odd one for Martin Scorsese amongst his oeuvre of mafia films but that doesn't matter at all |
Yesterday I watched Lady Snowblood, really great. Then I watched Uncut Gems which I also enjoyed.
|
i recently watched All Tomorrows Parties doc, cool movie. i think i will watch some kind of like anime movie? it's called Akira i think
|
oh! akira is a classic. enjoy!
|
Samuel Fuller's White Dog, based on the Romain Gary book.
I liked the movie more than the book. Rock'n'Roll High School too, which was fun from start to finish. An Allan Arkush movie with the Ramones. Mary Woronov was in it too. |
the death of stalin. fucking hilarious!
|
I’m not sure why I was expecting this to be less than stellar — maybe because it was ignored by awards for the most part — but Knives Out was actually a crackling good film.
Nicely played, paced and developed. A beautiful homage to Agatha Christie. Smart and simple and fun.  |
That was a great watch. I'm not one for whodunnits either. Took me a little bit to get used to Daniel Craig dragging that accent around like a seal's arse, mind.

Yeah, same. I really like Daniel Craig, and that accent was unexpected to say the least. But it kinda grew on me, as did Daniel Craig playing a different kind of heroic character. I really fucking liked this movie and it was just a pleasure to watch. Stacked cast, too, everyone just nailed it. Michael Shannon being mildly menacing? Easy. Don Johnson being a prick? Yeah! Girl fro Blade Runner being adorable and complicated despite the relative simplicity of the character? Ding ding. And Chris Evans being a Fucking DICK and still totally likable? Great stuff man. So glad I watched. OH, Darius from Atlanta too! |
Not sure I've read anything bad about Knives Out, if I'm being honest, though I also haven't sought the feedback out. Just moments in passing online.
|
Knives Out was super fun and very entertaining.

Danger: Diabolik!
If it can't be believed, let's not try to make it believable. Highly more enjoyable than James Bond movies, visually stunning. |

— anyway just saw this for the first time:  it was terrible, but good! hahahaha |

Uhhh, wasn’t the whole thing that Kevin Costner had no accent in Prince of Thieves? Like literally everyone had a British accent except for him, which I assume is because he simply refused and said “I’m Kevin Costner and it’s 1990, I’m basically god.” *shrug* |

... btw i tried to watch UNCUT GEMS the other day and after 1/2 hours of not liking absolutely anybody in it i turned it off |
tinker tailor soldier spy
 great movie, but not having ever read a john le carré movie i am glad this was on video where i could pause or rewind and figure out wtf was going on. “karla” “witchcraft” “circus” what??? eventually i sorted it but took a little while. great fucking story. i mean, of the spy genre. |
Quote:
Uncut Gems is horrible, you did yourself a kindness |
This was very good and haunting.
The director, Bennett Miller, is a real talent. I haven’t seen “Capote” yet, but now I will.  |

It is an enjoyable movie. I was really sceptical when I heard they'd cast Gary Oldman as Smiley but he does a fine job in a role that's still pretty much defined by Alec Guinness in the BBC serialisation from the 70s, which I can't recommend highly enough.  |

holy shit! where do i find this?? i’m looking now... |
