Movie Suggestion Thread
For those interested I'd like to have you list some of your favorite movies and suggest movies to previous posters based on their lists. I noticed older threads similar to this, but I figured we could all start fresh.
These are in no particular order, I tend to like crime movies: American Gangster Goodfellas Pulp Fiction Training Day Sin City Seven A History of Violence The Departed Scarface Requiem for a Dream Reservoir Dogs Menace II Society |

Kids Movies: Wall-E Cinderella Alice in Wonderland (the 1950ties cartoon) 101 dalmations Lady and the Tramp Up Ratatouille Puss in Boots Bye Bye Birdie General movies Run Lola Run School of Rock CUBE (not 2 or recube...just CUBE) Sid and Nancy Train spotting All Star Trek movies District 9 Documentaries: Who killed the Electric Car The man who cycled the world Long Way Round No Direction Home: Bob Dylan Biography 30 days- oops...Super Size me Man on a Wire Grizzly Man (weirdoooo) Chick flicks - old and new Like Water for chocolate Boys on the side The Notebook Bridges of Madison County Elizabeth I am DINA Educating Rita Gone with the Wind The Queen Dirty Dancing Breaking the Waves Bridesmaids |

Ms. Campy,
If you dig documentaries check out the following: Project Nim - about teaching an ape how to sign The Cove - you've heard Keith rant about this one Religulous - interesting religious documentary Zeitgeist Cutting Edge: The Child Sex Trade Bi The Way - one of my favourite docs out there. Discusses whether or not there is such a thing as bisexuality Paris is Burning - drag queens I LOOOOVE documetaries. I've got tons more to recommend. |
Documentary: Jesus Camp, Jiro Dreams of Sushi
I've made a vow to myself to never watch a documentary with any sort of stance involved (Bowling for Columbine, Super Size Me) because a documentary can make you believe anything they want you to believe. The only docs I'll ever watch are ones only meant to inform and are as "fly on the wall" as possible. Both of these docs that I suggested are incredibly hands off. Also this: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/ @OP "In Bruges" - fantastic crime drama/black comedy. It's in my top 10 movies of all time. "Oldboy" - Korean detective noir. Top 5 all time. If you like crime I'd start looking up the best of the best classic film noirs. I know Chinatown is on netflix instant. Winter's Bone (2010) is a modern noir that breaks the noir formula by using a female protagonist. It was also nominated for best film, best adapted screen play, best female lead, and best male support. |
Thanks Astigos, I have seen Chinatown that was pretty good. I'll have to check out Old Boy.

Winters bone is a great movie

Funniest movie of last year. |

Also, ALL documentaries have a stance involved. Films get made and edited by people, people with opinions and biases. Even if it's not a conscious decision of the filmmaker, all documentaries are trying to tell you something. |

I will still however watch observational documentaries where there is nearly no interaction from the crew with the subjects. The film is simply meant to show you the subject in its truest state. Side note: Morgan Spurlock got fat from the diet because he was overconsuming calories (probably over 3500/day), NOT because he was eating McDonald's. The overconsumption of calories and healthy vs unhealthy foods are two different issues. |
