The Sandlot is the greatest boyhood movie ever made.

No movie will ever capture the essence of what it is to be a young boy so well. I grew up in the 90s and it perfectly reminds me of the shenanigans my friends and I grew up with. We did much worse than what was depicted if the film but all of the thought processes were the same that led us into those situations. I still watch this movie every six months or so and enjoy every second of it. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/32va3ac

The only Home Alone sequel that will ever be acceptable is a rated R action thriller with Macaulay Culkin

Call me nuts but it would be awesome to see Macaulay Culkin reprise his role as Kevin again and see him in a more rated R vibe. Seeing him f*** up the bad guys would be SICK! Just portraying an older Kevin as some badass would be amazing, nostalgic, and just down right wholesome!Maybe a little dash of John Wick mixed in with a bit of Saw? Something not crazy dark but darker than the initial movies? Jeez I think this would be frickin' awesome! I think this is something crazy ole' Macaulay Culkin would find comical at first but given some thought, would be super down to do.Could you imagine seeing a movie like this directed by James Gunn or Zach Snyder? Definitely a movie with a bit of blood and a realistic fight scene. Not to make it a martial arts movie but at least one fight scene of realistic substance would be incredible.Would love to see Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern again.Maybe a come back with the first two initial robbers getting out of prison and pissed, wanting to take revenge on Kevin, and this time they bring more friends to pin Kevin and fight off his booby traps. Not sure if Chicago or New York is more appropriate but I would take whichever film location!I post this because I can't believe they decided to come out with a NEW Home Alone this year. One that looks even cringier than the last. Now my idea sounds completely insane and I will be the first one to admit that, but I would take this any day of the would over a half-a** sequel out to taint a pleasant childhood memory of mine. Seriously I don't know how to reach out to Macaulay Culkin but this is the childhood movie our nostalgic minds need! via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3xtnjYv

There has been a serious lack of comedies recently

When I was home for Thanksgiving my father and I were discussing upcoming releases we were excited for. I showed him the trailer for a few he hadn't heard of, one being Don't Look Up. He mentioned that it looks good but asked why there hasn't been a comedy in what's seemed like ages and I agree. While Don't Look Up does admittedly look like it has comedic elements, it seems like it's more of a satire on the state of the world right now and not outright just for the laughs (I could be wrong about this).And I'm not even talking about good comedies, just in general.Regardless of Don't Look Up, my dad is right. The last really good comedy was Game Night in my opinion which was great but coming up on 4 years ago. There are definitely some movies that have comedic elements but I'd probably refer to them as a mix of genres (MCU, Parasite or Free Guy) that's come out but the lack has been surprising. I know the pandemic has delayed stuff but tons of other genres have been released too like big budget sci-fi, superhero, dramas, musicals etc.This surprises me a lot because comedies typically don't cost much outside of actors getting paid. Thoughts? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3nYUrnV

Klaus (2019) - A fantastic film & Norm MacDonald’s last movie role

It’s that time of the year and my wife and I are getting into the Christmas moves. As we rewatched Klaus from 2019, we were quickly greeted by the sound of Norm MacDonald’s unmistakeable voice playing the role of the smart-alec, sarcastic, hilariously witty boat captain Mogens. I won’t get into a whole tangent on the film itself, because it’s a phenomenal movie in every way I can think of and I think it’s going to stand the test of time as a classic Christmas movie. What I really came here to say is watching Klaus this year really hit me in the feels as it’s my first time watching the movie since we lost this legend and comedic genius.If you’ve never seen Klaus, check it out. I think you’ll like it; Norm’s character Mogens is hilarious and his performance really enriches the story. Rest easy, Norm MacDonald; he is sorely missed! via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3p9YlJV

Name a movie you watched just to kill some time but turned out to be really good

For me it was Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt! The whole premise of being dead and woke up again at same time felt a bit too familiar to me at first..but man the execution of the film was really really good and I was throughly focused watching it! I think by now I have seen the film about 4-5 times already!Another one was also Whiplash! I think I was actually awed by the ending and it became (strangely) my comfort film now. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3CW2bLr

What do you think about Falling Down (1993)?

I watched it this morning for the first time and it was great. Great performances from Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall. Joel Schumacher doing his thang, being a fucking top notch director. Some parts were a bit "movie-like", like when Prendergast confronts D-Fens at the end. What did y'all think about the commentary? Stuff about not being "economically viable" and the plastic surgeon living in luxury while the defence dude is paid peanuts? The whole "The American Dream is a lie" shabang. I'm waffling a bit but I don't know how to elongate such a basic question. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3I1Opus
