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. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/dcHQGpL
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 comment ends up being. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/njGoP7C
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 starting in another pretty popular show, Euphoria. And Jenna Ortega is now starring in one of Netflix’s most popular TV shows and is a recurring Horror movie acress. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/tSu92Yq
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 a single sequel that we enjoyed more than an original film. There HAS to be ONE! help us 🤣 via /r/movies https://ift.tt/bFB5CMP

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 can't think of any off the hop.. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/yU5WLuf
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 cut", and goddamn it is pretty terrible. Most of the stuff we love is in there, but there is so much other crap that does not work at all. The pacing is terrible, and it is nowhere nearly as punchy. The original version really has no lulls, but the extra 30 minutes in the extended cut is nothing but. I told my wife that the editor (who is apparently Paul Dixon) deserves an oscar for improving just about every aspect of the film. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/gw0DiWo
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, I have seen all of DUST’s productions) or whatever else. Basically, I am starved for a good space flick and if it’s on IMBD’s top 100, maybe even like 200, or whatever, I have most likely seen it. So if anyone could suggest me really anything, I would be SUPER thankful! via /r/movies https://ift.tt/1k2zxK7
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 relent at all. The quick provocative clips get you even more interested in the story and characters. And whats even more incredible is that it tells you nothing about the story. It avoids the biggest problem with modern trailers. Giving up too much of the plot before you even see it. After watching the movie and returning to the trailer was even more incredible. I learned nothing from the trailer. No character or plot details were spoiled. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/hswf35o
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 https://ift.tt/p2t1jRI
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 other movie recommendations in this era would y’all suggest that are similarly well done. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/OEsTAS9
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 have stayed with you the longest?Edit just remembered Withnail and I via /r/movies https://ift.tt/g0846ls
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 I never wanted to stop looking into.Now as an adult however, I consider Ghibli's masterpiece to be Princess Mononoke. The first time I watched it, I was blown away with the intricacies of the world and characters within and their relation to the gods, and nature vs industrialization. I could gush about the film forever, but I want to hear your thoughts and stories! via /r/movies https://ift.tt/5X6HfMG
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 mine comes from "Dr. Strangelove" (1964): "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!" via /r/movies https://ift.tt/TwDshGz
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 living in Paris, that is paying for the McCalilister family to fly out there.Kevin's Mom explains it to Harry (dressed as a cop), in the opening scene.My husband's brother transferred to Paris last summer and both of his kids are still going to school here, and I guess he missed the whole family. He's giving us all this trip to Paris for the holidays, so we can be together.Now, in Home Alone 2, it does appear that Kevin's parents are the ones who pay for the family to fly down to Florida. Uncle Frank mentions it when scolding Kevin:"Don't wreck my trip. Your dad's paying good money for it."So, just wanted to clarify things because most people often incorrectly assume Kevin's dad is the one paying for everyone in the first movie.EDIT: A lot of people either didn’t read the post or missed the point completely. I’m not saving the McCallisters aren’t wealthy, they obviously are. I’m saying they are not the ones who paid for the Paris trip, which many people just assume they did.Yeah this fact has nothing to do with the story, it’s just an observation of mine and a movie-detail mistake I often see people making. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/vtaJIZS
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 other examples that have already happened I am unaware of. I can’t think of any others off the top of my head — at least not to the extent of Robert Downey Jr. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/Cn1csPh
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 for the role.On top of this he's very likable and down to earth, you can see how much people like him by the response to his Superman news even though the films he played Superman in were mediocre, he deserved much better for sure.https://ift.tt/6PsxKct via /r/movies https://ift.tt/yBI9MUk
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 all just stood there staring at her saying “no it’s too late.”) why all the lengthy heartfelt confessions and melodrama in the middle of all this intense zombie shit that they need to get in and get out under a tight timeframe.So many plot holes and issues but imo the biggest one: why didn’t the owner of the company give the group the combination to the vault? Like, it’s his company, his vault with $200 million…does he not know the combination? Why all this nonsense with cracking a vault?Also a giant explosion when a small car crashes into a military convoy.Christ this movie was a mess and a total waste of time. Just lazy. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/l68ndUg
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 else you guys want to name? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/Sz0KelU
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 since then.It’s almost as if Hollywood decided that’s as good as it gets. It left such a huge void within me that I have been trying to chase the feeling ever since to no avail. The only thing that comes close is the last scene in the joker (2019) and that’s being generous. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/Fi43OWk
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 shot which is incredibly impressive, but I’d love to know if there’s any other examples of this via /r/movies https://ift.tt/g9Nyckf
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 an absolute shoestring budget, it's even more impressive.TenetA bonified blockbuster with a very cool visual application of time travel. Just good fun, and some depth to the implications as well. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/HF7U4c3
