We need a running index for everything mentioned. Namtak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I took the thread title as "hey, here is one I know about and enjoyed that you should watch" more than "let's list all the movies everyone should watch" but it is subjective. I will think of one now since I am here...hold on a sec... There are some drop dead funny scenes here. If you only know Ruth Gordon from the Clint Eastwood ourang outan movies, you'll love her here. bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 wifey yelled at me the other day when I was talking about the movies in this thread "daughter no.2 (she used her real name, wifey isn't an insufficiently_thoughtful_person) says she doesn't remember watching Midnight Run!" so we'll be watching that in the next week or so Namtak and onlyweaknesskryptonite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentbryan Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I think a lot of today’s sci-fi relies too heavily on SFX and big budgets that gets away from actual story-telling. I offer up this gem to my fellow cinephiles. You won’t be disappointed. NWOslave, onlyweaknesskryptonite and Namtak 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csaag Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Here's one I enjoyed that people may not be aware of. Not his best film by any means but still worth a watch (not John Carpenter's best film that is. It's probably Roddy Piper's best film!)

It is a bit cheesy but it is a good B movie, it knows what it is and maximizes that. The one scene approaches parody, you'll know it when it happens, but it is fun. Just OVER THE TOP!

We watched it back in the day and showed it to our two teen daughters at some point, maybe 3 years or so ago (now 18 & 22). Wifey says she was floored because of how it ends, and watching it with our youngish girls was quite a shock! So anyone who has seen the movie will recall generally how it ends, but watch the very last scene again and you may be shocked now. I am taking wifey's word on this as it didn't hit me even in these more aware times but she says that she was shocked. Namtak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csaag Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Here's one I watched a month ago or so with a very good cast. I though the child actor did a very good job. It's about a boy coming to grips with his anger from a divorced family, bullying at school but mostly his mother's cancer. Sounds like a droll drama but he's helped out by a giant tree monster voiced by Liam Neeson Ken Aldred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid is very good, I agree Here's one for the kids...and adults get to watch Jon Voight crew up the scenery. I readily admit to being a big fan of young Shia LaBeouf, he's great here and in the Evens Stevens tv show as well. BEANS! I hope he figures it all out sooner than later but he seems on the right path if it is taking a bit long. Lindsay Lohan was fantastic too, at least now she says she is happy. here is a kids show run, my daughter grew up along with these stars so I watched much of this in live time Kenan's been great on SNL and I watched first episode of his new show and liked it.

csaag Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Been a long time since I've seen Holes - plus that's 2 in a row with Sigourney Weaver! Now for the trifecta! This one was out a decade ago and I see it as just a love letter to the Horror film genre. I can watch it every time I come across it Plus I try to speed read the "odds board" where the bets are posted in that one scene to catch Easter Eggs. bentbryan, Namtak and AGGIEZ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
