Recommend any good movies?
 
I'm looking for some good movies to watch and I'm wondering if anybody could recommend any good movies I should watch. I love action, and when it sometimes crosses with drama it's even better, like House of flying daggers. Foreign movies are also my favorite, Tomie,and Returner were good movies. So yeah please let me know what you think.

Aliens is an older, but still AWESOME movie with a lot of action/drama(-ish). Like Aliens better than Alien myself, but if you want to start from the beginning you should do that . . . dunno if you've seen it or not, suprisingly most of my friends have NEVER seen it (aka, only one has), shame, it's a GREAT series of movies, always a fav of mine to watch. Dunno if this is at all your style or not (not foreign, but I couldn't think of any of those that I cared overly for)

Have you seen Battle Royale?
Unleashed is an ok action movie.
I just saw a korean movie called Musa, it's set in China in 1200-1400 (can't remember exactly) and has a lot of good action scenes.

I own battle royale because I read the book:D. I have seen all the aliens and both predator movies too. I find it hard to believe that I've seen every good movie out there.

If you like House of Flying Daggers you might enjoy "Hero" or "Crouching Tiger, hidden Dragon". But there is a good chance that you already know those.
As for a good mix of drama and action:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000041/
I didn't see a movie if this person yet which I wouldn't recommend. Rashomon, Yojimbo, Hidden Fortress, Seven Samurai or Throne of Blood, all great movies.
If that's too eatstern for you try the Dollar trilogy by Sergio Leone. "For a fistfull of Dollars", "A few dollars more" and especially "The good, the Bad and the Ugly" are all worth your time. Hope this helps :)

I would personally recommend Pitch Black and Gladiator for starters.

If its still in a cinema near you, check out Der Untergang (also known as "the downfall" ) its about the last days of hitler and his third reich, its a german movie and its very historically acurate and touching. One of my favourit movies ever.

If it isn't in the cinema anymore get the DVD (out in europe since a month) or wait for it to be released on DVD (for people that live in the states).

Re: Recommend any good movies?
 
For me Tarintino's movies are the best. Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill 1 & 2.

Snatch

Simply one of the best.

Wow I love historically acurate movies. I've seen gladiator and thought it was OK but it wasn't historically acurate which gave it a sense of wrongness. I've seen Snatch and now that Sh0wdowN mentioned it I feel I must watch it again... I love exagerated eastern films like Evil Cult and Legend but when taratino tried to do it. It seemed like he did it on purpose in the kill bill movies and they didn't seem as good.

Snatch, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Requiem for a Dream, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 28 Days Later, Kids, Gummo, and Amerros Perros (spanish.)

I loved it. But spaceballs seemed stupid to me. I've seen both resident evils. I'm going to watch the new batman movie. I've seen Star Wars 3 in theaters and boot legged. The big labowski was a one time view kinda movie for me. Starship troopers was good but i've seen it to many times. I turn it off right after the shower scene lol:smokin:

i saw war of the worlds yesterday, and i thought it was excelent. Its plot isn't toooooo deep (ahh run away from the aliens) but the filmography is great, i really wouldn't be supprised if it won a oscer (somewhere in the action or direction areas).

neonmole July 13th, 2005 12:34 AM
Re: Recommend any good movies?
 
I suggest you watch a film called 187. It's quite hard to come by and you may not have heard of it before but it is my all-time favourite film ever! It stars Samuel L Jackson and is about a teacher who is attacked but survives. He then moves schools and the pupils there give him a hard time aswell, don't want to give too much away...So watch it for yourself, you won't be dissapointed! I think they still sell it on Amazon.

Scarface8904 July 13th, 2005 08:11 PM
Re: Recommend any good movies?
 
If you like action you should see Scarface, Boyz N The Hood, and New Jack City. They all have drama/action. They are my favs. Black Hawk Down is also a good movie if you havent seen it.

Oblivious July 13th, 2005 08:39 PM
Re: Recommend any good movies?
 
The Usual Suspects - Great action/thriller, one of the best endings for a movie ever.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Outstanding movie. Seen it? See it again.

The Shawshank Redemption - Not an action movie, but a great movie with a satisfying conclusion.

And as mentioned above, the new War of the Worlds is pretty good.

The Untouchables, Carlito's Way, Black Rain & Heat are a few action films

Re: Recommend any good movies?
 
Anything with the words "star" and "trek" in the title. It has to have both though... if its only got "star" or only "trek" in the title it probably sucks....:assimilate: ;)
