Movies and Cinemas

[smashbro]

General thread for all discussion on movies here! Anyone see any good movies lately, or any in general? Any movies that you want to see? Also, what is/are your favorite movie(s) and what are your favorite genres?

Recently, I saw The Fight Club on G4's "Movies That Don't Suck." Well, it would have to be THE GREATEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN! The movie had a great plot with an even greater plot twist, the main characters felt dynamic and defined, great ending, and great theme. Movie stars Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, and some chick, who's name escapes me. Since then, it just so happens that I happen to catch movies on starring one of them. Saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith followed by The Italian Job, which both are other favorites of mine.

I also saw 007: Quantum of Solace in theaters. It was ok. Story and plot were hard to follow, but it had some great action scenes. And there was Eagle Eye. That one was good. It the kind of movie that's fast paced throughout the whole movie, and a good story to it.

Other favorites are: (that I can remember)
There Will Be Blood - Great Story. (Also has Paul Dano in it - It took me to hearing him scream in the movie to figure out where I've seen him before...)
Little Miss Sunshine - Hella fuckin funny, great actors. (Fun Fact: Paul Dano plays Dwayne.)
3:10 to Yuma -Another great story
The Bourne movies
Pirates of the Caribbean
Ferris Beuler's Day Off - a classic
Ocean's 11
007
Superbad
Jackass
Die Hard

My favorite genres are typically high action movies, comedy, and movies with a great plot and story. I've kinda lightened up on the Comedy a little, they make me laugh and I just never see most of them as a "great" movie, but well worth watching. Also, I don't care for horror. The genre doesn't scare me, and the movies tend to suck anyways.

As far as what I'm looking forard to seeing it'd have to be "The Wrestler" starring Mickey Rourke. Looks absolutely fantastic

How was No Country for Old Men? I've been meaning to see that.

[Gorblax]

Very good. I saw it twice in theaters- highly recommended. In my opinion, the best of the Coen brothers movie.

[JGH27]

How was No Country for Old Men? I've been meaning to see that.

I agree that it was the Coen's best film and definently check it out.....like NOW. I too saw it twice in Theatres and own it as well.

Also, Children Of Men I wish to add to my list.

[Gorblax]

Big Lebowski is their most quotable, though.

"This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head."

"Saturday, Donny, is Shabbas, the Jewish day of rest. That means I don't work, I don't drive a car, I don't fuckin' ride in a car, I don't handle money, I don't turn on the oven and I sure as shit don't fucking roll!"

"You said it, man. Nobody fucks with The Jesus."

[Eiron]

Just watched Quantum of Solace. Pretty kick ass.

[smashbro]

Watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall with my folks (LOL). It was pretty funny and worth the laughs. Just stick to watching it with friends. Oh, and contains frontal nudity.

[Gorblax]

I just saw Crimes and Misdemeanors (thank you Netflix). Woody Allen is a genius.

[Fobbs McCloud]

You guys should watch Tropic Thunder.

BEST WAR MOVIE PARODY EVER

[Banjo]

Lots of good movies have been said already. And so I add mine to the ever growing list, as well as repeating some.

Shaun of the Dead (England and zombies, what more do you want? "Kill the Queen!")
Pulp Fiction ("English motherfucker! Do you speak it?!" "Aw man, I shot (forgot the name) in the head!")
Red vs Blue Seasons 1-5; Reconstruction (think of each episode as a chapter and each season is a movie)
Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb ("Gentlemen! There's no fighting in the War Room!")
The Dark Knight (Why so serious indeed.)
Jurassic Park
I Am Legend (just saw it the other day, pretty good)
Austin Powers

and there's probably some more.
