First Time Watching Wayne’s World
Ashamed to say it but I’m a 38 year old man who’s never fully watched Wayne’s World. I had seen the clip of them singing Bohemian Rhapsody and knew some of the phrases as friends quoted it but never sat down and watched it completely.It was offered as a movie to watch on the United Airlines app and I figured since I wasn’t feeling like sleeping on the plane, what the hell.I was laughing out loud on the plane. And (at least in my opinion) still stands up today. Too embarrassed to admit that I only just now appreciate this film, but I needed to share with someone.Party on via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3BtXJDj
Which movies have wildly different executions of basically the same plot?
My two favorites are The Island and Never Let Me Go. Shared plot: people kept alive solely for their organs to be harvested. But one is a flashy action flick and the other is a slow, harrowing art piece. (I'm not saying one is better than the other - both have their place in the world of movie-watching :) )What are some other examples of this happening? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2Y2jI5R
Black Dynamite
Has anybody else seen this? I never watched blaxploitation movies but this is a really clever satire with great, quotable dialogue. Each time I watch it I catch a new joke. Best thing is, any mistakes seem like they were intentional."I'm declaring war on anyone who sells drugs in the community.""But, Black Dynamite. I sell drugs in the community!" via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3kIFJya

28 Days Later is the best zombie film out there.
Even though the sequel really lets this movie down (other than the legendary intro), I really believe this film is one of the best zombie films out there. The setting is easily one of the best of any zombie film I've seen - an abandoned, lifeless London with literally no life around at the film's start. Boyle's beautiful and harrowing shots to bring this London to life are just incredible.The main characters are well-rounded and we learn about them and genuinely get attached to them throughout the film's runtime (unlike the sequel). Even though some of the performances weren't very good, I often overlook them because of the brilliant writing.Also, this film is actually scary! The zombies are terrifying. They sprint towards their prey and leap on them- plus the transformation from human to infected takes seconds (which is something that more zombie films should do in my opinion). It kept the pace of the film quick and created so much damn tension throughout.The only thing I was left wanting with this film was a better camera quality really. The camera Boyle used for filming wasn't particularly high-end which is a real shame - because this film with a top-range camera would've been beautiful.Any other takes? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3kGCXth
Brad Pitt playing second fiddle or having guest appearances a bunch of times is impressive.
I say impressive because of his A list status. I cannot think of an other movie star in the same league as Brad Pitt consistently turning up for guest appearances or minor roles. Similarly, Pitt is perfectly fine to play supporting characters to actors equally popular as him. Think of his roles in Oceans trilogy, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Big Short, The Counsellor and 12 years a slave.Then there are some roles where, although he is the lead, other actors get plenty of time and spotlight to shine. Troy, Fury, Inglorious Basterds, Snatch, Fight Club and Seven are some examples.Contrast this with the Fast & Furious movies where 2 popular actors, Vin Diesel and The Rock, had a very public feud most probably due to clashing egos.When people say Brad Pitt is "a character actor in a leading man's body," it does make sense somewhat. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3t0Xf4H
Which actors did you know were going to be stars from their first film?
Most actors have have a role that got them noticed in the industry but some actors were just destined to be stars right out of the gate.Michael Keaton is one of my favorite actors of all time and I remember watching Night Shift when it came out and knowing immediately that he was going to be a star.Ed Norton in Primal Fear is also another example of an actor who just exploded onto the scene.What are some other examples of this? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/38t37di
Sideways (2004) is a beautiful film.
Just rewatched this masterpiece. I'm eternally saddened that Paul Giamatti didn't get at least an Oscar nomination for one of the most heartbreaking performances ever. His heart visibly shatters at least 3 times in this film, and the scene at Jack's wedding where he learns his ex is pregnant is one of the most impressive pieces of acting I've ever seen. Let's not forget Thomas Haden Church in his Oscar nominated role as Jack, the douchebag actor just trying to get a final fling in before his wedding. Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh are also amazing in supporting roles. Especially Madsen, with her monologue about why she loves wine, and her voicemail at the end. The cinematography is beautiful, the writing is wry and hilarious and also deeply heartfelt. Gat dam, I love this movie. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3jtRkCc
If you liked movies like “The Fall”, “Big Fish” and “Pan’s Labyrinth”, which mix fantasy with drama, may I recommend “A Monster Calls”?
It is about a child dealing with his mother having a terminal illness, so yes, it can be quite sad at times but the inclusion of a storytelling sentient tree every once in a while crashing through the scene to talk to the boy, makes the movie quite great and heartfelt.I had never heard about it or seen any scenes from it so this is a friendly recommendation for those in the mood for something different albeit poignant.For American viewers, it is currently found on Netflix. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2WByGzl
What’s a movie that you find infinitely rewatchable?
That movie that you could watch over and over and not get bored of, or find new details every time.For me it would be Goodfellas, the acting is so good and I’m immediately pulled into it every time I watch it, even though I know what’s going to happen. The dialogue and scenes are also so memorable that I still smile when I see them. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/38ujExD
In The Loop is the funniest movie I’ve ever seen. Hands down.
My wife and I were casual fans of The Thick of It a while back. We were cheap (poor) and watching everything our local library had to offer, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Recently, a friend recommended In The Loop to us because it’s a spin-off of The Thick of It. I’m so glad they did! It’s by far the hardest I’ve ever laughed at a movie. I really liked the Iannucci’s other work, (Veep, Death of Stalin, and Alan Partridge) so it’s no surprise I liked this.I really suggest checking it out. The amount of swearing in the movie is almost beautiful at times, and Peter Capaldi is the funniest I’ve ever seen him. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3kBQ9jm
Scenes in which the villain is so incredible you just have to smile
Does this ever happen to anyone else? Sometimes an actor/actress manages to be so great that I can't help but smile at how badass their villain is.A few examples that come to mind:- Mads Mikkelsen bleeding from his eye in Casino Royale- Javier Bardem gas station scene in No Country for Old Men- Michael Pitt breaks the fourth wall in Funny GamesWhat other examples would you recommend? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2UXKVpj
Forrest Gump's such a beautiful movie.
I saw Forrest Gump recently (I know I'm late to the party..but better late than never) and I found it one of the most touching stories ever. What are your takes on it? I find the whole movie amazing, the message it conveys is also so beautiful IMHO. Any similar movies that you all can recommend? What in your opinion makes it beautiful? To those who hate it, please don't ruin it for me (hate messages shall be conveniently ignored). via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3yoXSpB
