The Thing (1982)

It’s my favorite movie of all time and I watch it every October.

I watched this for the umpteenth time just last night! Always a good one.

The Big Lebowski. Simultaneously ridiculous and incredibly sophisticated. People who think its "just" a stoner comedy may have some more viewings to go 🙂

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Hackers. Yes, it's corny - cheesy, even - but it had a great cast with awesome chemistry, and it did a great job at capturing the zeitgeist of hacker/punk culture. Plus so many memorable quotes...

Liar, liar.

Nearly every single line in that movie that Jim Carrey delivers is not only funny but his delivery and antics are a work of art. It's like watching Messi dribble the soccer ball. Cary ewles gets an honorary mention for playing the straightman and absolutely killing it.

There’s something about that close-to-home dystopian outlook that calms me. Now go away, I’m batin’!

For me it's The Matrix.

I never like to retread old ground, but this one's an exception. It's hard to overstate how much it blew our minds 26 years ago. I might have a soft spot for it too because I was raised sheltered and it was the first rated R movie I saw.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

It's a shame they didn't make any sequels. The creators probably decided it was a complete story rather than milk it to death like Star wars. Guess that's for the best!

White Chicks

The Devil Wears Prada

The Proposal

I like to shut my brain off and have simple entertainment that doesn’t require much thinking during watching watch time.

My favourite movie of all time is Enemy 2013 and Black Swan but these are movies that go under your skin and everytime I watch them I have to go into spirals of overthinking etc while the above mentioned movies don’t give me that.

Big Trouble In Little China.

Marathon Man [Dustin Hoffman, Lawrence Olivier] seems to have been designed for multiple viewings. A character seen briefly in one scene turns up later in the movie. A quick telephone call becomes incredibly important but you have to be paying close attention to every minute.

Constantine Matrix ... I do love Keanu, but I don't care for his latest movies much.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

Clue.

Sometimes my friends and I just sit around quoting it until we've made it through the entire movie, so maybe there's no point in rewatching it, but we do anyway.

Evolution.

It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they're making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they're working on. I mean, who doesn't love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.

It's fun, it's ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.

Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans.

spoiler(it's the butthole, they attacked a giant alien anus with soap to save the day)
