Which terrible movie somehow got nominated for Best Picture?
Bohemian Rhapsody was dull, historically inaccurate to the actual events, and had bad editing but somehow it wins the Golden Globe and gets multiple Oscar nominations including Best Picture. What’s another example of a movie you think is terrible that for some reason gets nominated for tons of Oscars including Best Picture....
Best Movie Trilogy Ever Made?
Recently had a debate about this with my family. What in your opinion is the best movie trilogy ever made? Top contenders for me would have to be the original Star Wars trilogy, the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy, and of course the Lord of the Rings trilogy.I’ll probably end up watching or re-watching whatever the top...
Which actor(s) did you not expect to become as big as they did?
I didn’t expect Zendaya or Jenna Ortega to become as big as they are now. Both started in pretty average Disney shows and neither of them really showed much potential to be big actors in the fufure but now Zendaya is(was) a major character in a Spider-Man franchise, she’s starring in Dune, another big movie and she’s...
Name a single movie, where the sequel or remake was better than Original.
My girlfriend and I are laying around watching Netflix and got into a sudden discussion about remakes vs originals. We BOTH agree that we can't think of a single movie where the remake was better than the original. This conversation stemmed into a discussion about sequels vs original movies. This too we cannot think of...

Movies that 'End' in the Middle?
Usually movies end at the ending but there must be some that don't?By this I mean that the main conflict or event is resolved towards the middle or 2/3 of the way through.Basically, that there's an extended epilogue....Usually the epilogue isn't all that long, probably btwn 5-20 mins...Are there movies that come to mind?...
I never understood why Kevin Smith was so self-deprecating about Mallrats, a movie I loved. Then I saw the extended cut...
Mallrats was released at the perfect time for me. By no means my favourite movie, but I've seen it so many times that I know every line. It is a quintessential 90s comedy. As great as the movie is, I've often wondered why Kevin Smith teases himself as "that guy who made Mallrats".Last night my wife and I watched the "extended...
Lesser known sci-fi movies set in space
Hello, I was just going through many threads in here looking for some good sci fi movies set in space, however, most of them are movies everyone has seen, so like 2001, Alien, Moon, Martian etc. What I’m looking for are some lesser known movies. Whether they be shorts or full length, animated or live action, YouTube (yes,...
What is the best trailer you have ever seen?
What is a trailer that got you instantly interested and wanting to see a movie? What trailer had captivating music and editing that locked your atenttion?For me its easily the trailer for The Handmaiden. It actually should win some award just for the trailer. It instantly hooks you with that hypnotic beat that doesnt...
What’s your favorite dance scene in a movie?
Risky business, Tropic Thunder, American Wedding, Grease, Silver linings playbook, 500 days of summer, and Footloose have my favorite dance scenes. It can be in actual musical movies like Grease and Footloose, or it can be a short joke scene in a comedy like the ones in Tropic Thunder and American Pie. via /r/movies ...
I watched 12 Angry Men (1957) last night and was blown away!
I really enjoyed the characters and the story. I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did, it was so simple yet complex at the same time. It really made me think about the criminal justice system and how people’s lives literally rest on fallible people’s shoulders. I’ve enjoyed the Twilight Zone as well and was wondering...
What's your favourite low budget movie?
I love small movies with big impacts! There are phenomenal successes like Eraserhead and Napoleon Dynamite, which are among my favourites of all time- I remember watching Saw for the first time in the 2000s and it was outstanding, and paddleton (2019) was so understated and moving. what are the small budget movies that...
What is your favorite Ghibli movie?
I've always loved discussing this topic, as there is no right or wrong answer, and I find the connections people make between themselves and Miyazaki's work very interesting.As a child, my answer would be Spirited Away 100%. The absolute awe and wonder you're thrust into is truly magical and as a kid it was a world that...
Movie one-liners that still make you laugh
One of the things I love about movies is that the memories of films can still elicit a reaction, long after the screen fades to black. Sometimes, at any given moment as you go about your day, a quote from a movie will pop up in your head that makes you smile and laugh to yourself. What are some of your favorites?One of...
A common mistake people make about Home Alone.
Whenever Home Alone is discussed it is often brought up how financially well-off Kevin's parents are since they are “taking the whole family to Paris for Christmas." While they definitely appear to be upper-class, they are NOT the ones gifting a Paris trip for the entire McCallister family.It is Peter's brother, who is...
What current actor/actress do you see having a career resurgence ala Robert Downey Jr.?
I was thinking there aren’t many actors or actresses that could tank their career like Robert Downey Jr. did at the height of his career to come back and kill it. One person I think may be able to pull it off is Shia Lebouf. Obviously, we will see how that all plays out. Any other potential candidates? And are there any...
Now that Cavill is no longer Geralt or Superman, what do you think of him as the next Bond?
I personally think Cavill would be a great obvious choice for the next James Bond but what do you guys think?He seems to embody the suave Bond energy more than any other candidate I've seen so far. He's still in his 30's, taller than most actors of his generation, and has all the looks, acting chops and athleticism needed...
Army of the Dead is a dumb waste of time
I know I’m very late to the game but this was such a poorly written movie, poorly thought out and poorly directed movie. Plot holes left and right, stupid people doing stupid shit that makes 0 sense (seriously why didn’t anyone save the woman that was fighting off zombies herself? Anyone could have jumped in but they...
Name a celebrity film actor who is a high caliber voice actor
As much as I'm looking forward to the new Mario movie, part of me wishes studios in general would opt to hire professional voice actors over celebrity film actors for their animated films. That being said, celebrity actors who are great voice actors definitely exist (Mark Hamill is a chameleon I swear). Is there anybody...
No movie since Interstellar (2014) has been able to replicate such feeling of anxiety and thrill as the docking scene.
I can still vividly picture my self sitting in the movie theater watching this powerful scene unfold. I gripped the arm rests so tightly I left marks on it, my ass was so tight not even air could escape, I was physically shaking due to the amount of anxiety flowing through me. And nothing has come close to that feeling...
Movies that take place only within their runtime?
I know the title is needlessly complicated but I can’t think of another way to word itI’ve been curious for a while now If there’s a movie where the narrative takes as long as the runtime (I.E a 90 minute movie where only 90 minutes pass within the narrative)I’ve been told Birdman is close, while also mostly being a one...
Time travel movies - what's your favorite?
Let's chat, I'm in that mood to watch more time travel and convoluted plots. I'm mostly focusing on movies where the time travel is a central theme. Here's two of my favorites to get the discussion started:PrimerThe most realistic and gritty/mumblecore version of a time travel story that I've seen. Loved this, and on...
