Really enjoyable films

[OintmentFly]

Look up a little movie called "Primer." It is about a couple scientists who invent "something" i cant say more without spoiling it.

This film will mind-rape you. Then you will watch it another four times till you understand. So the sooner the start, the better. Really. It's awesome.

That is how I felt. I was watching the credits trying to piece together the entire thing. *spolers omg!*

Haha, weeeeellllll, that's sort of true. There's actually a website devoted to....hmmm, in order to avoid spoilers I'm just gonna say it's devoted to understanding the film by working out exactly....how the timeline works. I can't recall what it is anymore but there was a graphical representation so an image search will probably find it if you've the time and inclination.

I think I'm gonna spend tonight watching a movie with a pizza and a nice mug of cider, but uh-oh! What movie should I watch?

On every thread like this I list the same films. Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Jersey Girl, Clerks 2, Zack and Miri Make a Porno (basically any film by Kevin Smith). His Evenings With are also pretty good.

Something or other.

That's already on my To-See list since it's by Chris Morris. Brass Eye already won me over.

Well what the fuck is it still doing on your to-see list when it should be on your saw-it-and-got-my-mind-blown list?! Go see it NAO!

Haha fair point, I've just not got much free time these days. I'll make sure to see it soon though.

This is England is really worth seeing.

So I've heard, it's about racism isn't it?

So what? It don't exactly say "racism is good" more like this "This is what will happen... and it's not good" so I don't think it's offending in any way. Or you can watch "Bronson" ot's also really great.

Sorry, not sure how to post links. It's a really funny and slightly dirty comedy about a squeaky-clean Barney knockoff that everyone, even the Parade of Hope, wants to kill.

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel is a pretty funny English movie and I can't say any more without spoiling it.

Definitely one of the more creative films to come out in the last year or so. Gotta love Michael Jai White
You're welcome​

And this too.
That film was awesome.

Off the top of my head, or dvds I can seen on my shelf, I recommend: Akira (anime), The Big Lebowski (comedy), Mongol ('biography'/historical), The Descent (horror), Reservoir Dogs (action/drama), Superbad (comedy), Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (comedy/drama), In the Loop (political satire), The Orphanage (spanish horror/ drama), and Pan's Labyrinth.

A film I only saw recently and thought was great was the latest Star Trek film. I'm not into Star Trek at all but still really enjoyed the film and nothing really went over me head, though I'm sure if you're a fan there's quite a few nods to the series favourites.

The Good, The Bad, The Wierd

No one's mentioned it yet and just for sheer entertainment I don't think I've watched anything recently that tops it. Awesome cinematography and music, simple but effective story (obviously very close to it's namesake) with fantastic action scenes that have a perfect mix of cool and comedy. As long as you don't mind the subtitles I'd completely recommend it.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

Oh, the list:

-Inception
-Batman Begins
-The Dark Knight
-Star Wars
-Zombieland
-Any of the Monty Python films
-Any of Mel Brook's films
-Airplane!

AIRPLANE! Surely you can't be serious?!

What? no Anime films? the hell is wrong with you guys? The Rebuild of Eva films are nice.

Oh, Spidey 2 is freaking amazing. and of course Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

Oh!

I definitely forgot about that, probably because I haven't seen it in a while.

Yes, watch Orphan as well OP!

 

[Woodsey]

Inception, The Dark Knight, Casino Royale and QoS are the first films that came to my mind.
