Greyhound (2020) is a really well-done WWII movie

I haven't seen a lot of movies like it and it just happen to catch my eye the other day. There's a scene early on set on land that kind turned me off the movie at first, but the rest of the movie is set on a battleship and I was fully into it the whole time. It's just so good at capturing the feel of being in a battle...
Movies where the love story includes an actress that is older than the actor, and its not a plot point.

It seems that most movies have a love story that includes an actress that is much younger than the actor. It is so common that it is almost a cliché at this point.Usually, if the actress is older than the actor, it is a plot point. In PCU, the high school kid touring the college wants to hook up with the college sophomore....
What is the most horrifying non-horror film ever made?

I'm talking about films that have little to no elements related to the horror genre. I would say Schindler's List due to the way it accurately shows the horrifying nature of the horrors of the holocaust, and the way how real-life evil is shown in the film. One of the best films that I won't watch again. via /r/movies...
No Country For Old Men is one of the best movies I've ever seen

I'm M24 and never saw this movie till a few days ago and all I can say is FUCKING WOW! What a beautiful film.The story was the priority and I love thatThe characters were well developedI LOVED the lack of music within the film, it added to suspension the film wanted to portrayActing was amazingGorgeous cinematographyVillain...
I Would 100% go watch a John Carter Sequel.

I just recently rewatced John Carter (of Mars). It's a spectacular film that set's up an expansive universe if you are anywhere familiar with the books. I'm not really surprised at the treatment the film got by Disney seeing it's timing, but I'm super hopeful an animated franchise can be made to flesh out the whole of...
Actors who seemingly made a change in their appearance which in turn changed the types of roles they get ?

Examples are Keanu ReevesShort hair shaved face : light action moviesLong hair and beard : darker moodier moviesAnthony Micheal hall's Change still surprise meHe looks so different ( I get it people change with age ) but he looks and seems like a totally different person than who he used to be in the 80sOther examples...
Moneyball... Why do I love this movie ?

So I’m from Ireland, i love Reddit and all it’s American influence, I have absolutely no idea how the great game of Baseball is played, it’s rules, it’s meaning and why it means so much to all walks of life in every corner of the US of A. Is it the masterful score by Mychael Danna, the genius screenplay by Sorkin?......
Army of the Dead is absolute garbage.

Just finished watching this and I had to rant somewhere. What in the fuck was this movie? This was nothing like what they promoted it as for one. The previews made it seem like a fun action movie with some scary cool zombie shit, and instead it disintegrates into a typical B-grade Snyder film.One of the biggest issues...
Trees Lounge (1996) written and directed by Steve Buscemi is one of the most engrossing, slice of life films I've seen in some time.

Been looking for hidden gems of the 90s as of late.Buscemi stars as an unemployed, frustrated 30 or 40 something constantly at odds with friends, family and the patrons of his local dive bar.The narrative is loose and the film is full of quirky characters. The film feels like it could be set in your own neighborhood....
Twister (1996.) is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen and I loved every second of it.

I love to throw on background movies while I do gradschool work and ended up putting on Twister this morning. I hadn't seen Twister for about 20 years. So much to talk about.Highlights:-The practical effects are fantastic! So many impressive practical sets, from the house collapsing, to the garage at the drive in theater-...
Most Quotable Movie?

What movie or movies do you guys think is the most quotable movie of all time? My first choice is The Princess Bride. It has so many great lines and I use a lot of them constantly in my day-to-day life. I guess another choice would be the Star Wars movies which all have some great quotes.It’s inconceivable if someone...
THE BLACK HOLE (1979) Disney's answer to Star Wars (!). What a dark and campy cult film.

Disney wanted to make a space adventure film, along the lines of a Thousand Leagues under the Sea. A spaced-themed disaster movie. So 1970s!The Good:The movie still looks great! Some SFX shots are noticeably green-screened, but for the most part, the look of this film is really cool.The concept: (Spoilers for a movie...
Best movie trailers of all time?

What do you think are the best trailers for movies of all time? These trailers give enough footage and give the audience the perfect bite-sized versions of the final product. The movie you're suggesting doesn't need to even be good, the trailer just needs to get me hype about a movie I've probably already seen. Thanks...
What is a movie that exceeded your expectations?

There are movies that fail to live up to the hype, and then there are movies that surprisingly exceed your expectations.My vote: MagnoliaI had only seen 4 Paul Thomas Anderson films before watching this movie (There Will Be Blood, The Master, Boogie Nights, and Phantom Thread), so I expected Magnolia to be at least a...
I hate inconsistent movie volume

In every single movie of series, there is a horrible ratio between action scene volume and conversation volume. Everytime, I need to up the volume so I can at least understand what's being said in a convesation before being blasted away by a sudden action scene, forcing me to quickly lower it again. Am the only one struggling...

New IMDB interface is utter shit

The new interface is godawful, to say the least. I've been poking around trying to find a button to restore the old UI. Is there one? I hope there is one... :(I get that they want to redesign or something every now and then, but at least give the option to people, who have been using this site for decades at this point,...
Just rewatched “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” (1971) and Augustus Gloop is innocent!

Wonka said before opening the door to the main room that you can eat “almost anything” in the room. Wonka never said “except the chocolate river; that’s off limits.” Augustus is in a room where people are eating teacups, people are eating giant mushrooms, etc. And he takes a drink from a chocolate river. It’s totally...
L.A. Confidential (1997)

I just finished watching L.A. Confidential for the first time and I was amazed at how well it’s written! Does anyone have any recommendations that focus on the dialogue so much like this one? The casting was impressive, I literally loved everything about the entire film. It immediately went into my top 10. via /r/movies...
Seven Psychopaths

I haven’t met one person who has seen this movie (besides my husband who introduced it to me). I thought it was my demographic, I was in South Florida when it was released but then moved to Long Island, NY. Not one person. It’s mid boggling to me that this is not a huge movie. It has to be one of the best movies ever...
Love and Monsters is a surprisingly fun and wholesome movie; worthy of getting sequels

Didn’t have high expectations, but Boy did this monster adventure comedy deliver. It was brimming with heart, humour, and genuine emotions.The monster designs were unique and they all had individual personalities. My fav was the centipede. It was pure nightmare fuel. The protag’s dog gave an award worthy performance....
Sling Blade (1996)

A master class in directing, acting, cinematography, writing- and truly one man's vision, one man's story. I have not properly seen this film in over 20 years, but I watched it tonight. I was floored. Absolutely on the edge of my seat with the writing, characterization, character development, the cinematography, the myriad...
Any of you 'overthink' while watching movies?

Do any of you overthink whilst watching a film? Small details. Also, after watching a movie do any of you overthink if you 'really' enjoyed it and does your brain start finding flaws in the movie that don't even exist? Do you start comparing a good film to other films for example?It happens with me lol and I'm trying...
What moment in a movie always makes you tear up?

For me, it's got to be Interstellar, and not one but two moments. I'm a hardened adult male, and I always, always cry when Cooper sees his grown-up daughter, and in the end when they meet again. I don't know, maybe I'm so emotional because I am a father to five girls? Does anyone else relate?These two moments, they encapsulate...
Where is Dredd 2

I Know the movie Dredd didn't do so well in theatres due to people atrributing it to Judge Dredd with Sly Stone - BUT - DREDD with Karl Urban was so much fun, so entertaining and done so well that I am DROOLING for a sequel, even if they rehashed Judge Dredds story line (with alterations of course) ..I even see Jon Bernthal...
Paddington 2 loses the top spot on Rotten Tomatoes after its first rotten review was added today

Posted this previously but it was taken down because apparently my title broke a rule. So posting it again with a new title.The review in question is here.Felt like it was relevant news after the big media circus around Citizen Kane losing the mantle a few weeks ago. Here's a snippet from the reviewI reviewed Paddington...
