Have you seen Yellow Submarine? I saw this when I was in the Army.

I own a copy of Hard Days Night....classic Beatle movie...

 

[Hoopguru]

Serenity was a good flick.

West Side Story;
Camelot;
Oliver;
Lawrence of Arabia;
This Island Earth;
55 Days at Peking;
Laura;
The Maltese Falcon;
Casablanca;
The Inspector;
Ben-Hur;
The Fall of the Roman Empire;
The Great Escape;
All Quiet on the Western Front;
High Noon;
Ferris Bueller's Day Off;
Last Train from Gun Hill;
The Big Trees;
Spartacus;
Star TrekII: The Wrath of Khan.
I've got more but they are fading from my immediate memory. They'll come back.

Pity likes?

I havent seen either but want to.

And im like you. Ill watch them regardless. I own all the rockys in a blu ray set. Lol.

So i picked up and watched both creeds.

Not terrible, not great.

What gets me though is the in ring action.

Its impressively fast for being fake and choreographed. Hair thin space between punches Nd face makes it look real, other than just like the originals, no human can take those types of blows and keep going.

All in all i give creed a “c+“ and creed 2 a “b-“

The grapes of wrath. A must read for every spoiled brat alive to gain some perspective.


The great gatsby. A story about infidelity being glorified....no clue how it made the public educational system as a must read for students.

The Grapes of Wrath is an excellent read and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is one of my favorites.

I give Rocky an 'A' and all the rest a 'D-'.

The problem with The Great Gatsby is that F. Scott Fitzgerald was a racist. For me it demeans an otherwise great novel.

Nowadays I find myself watching stuff in segments, spent the last few days watching Megamind on Netflix.

Thought it was good as far as animated kids movies go. Nothing to write home about, but I enjoyed it!

 

[Lanny]

I'm watching Forbidden Planet in segments and it's still a great science fiction movie. Parts of the old Star Trek are modeled after it.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Just saw the Lion King.

Save your money and just watch Billy on the Street and something Seth Rogen is in. They save this movie.

 

[Chris Craig]

Just watched the Hellboy reboot...wtf?

Good wtf or bad wtf

 

[Chris Craig]

Good wtf or bad wtf

Bad wtf...I watched it expecting it to be better than it's predecessors. It is a reboot after all. The story was terrible. I like David Harbour. He is great in Stranger Things. He makes a pretty good Hellboy. Ron Pearlman's is better though. I guess they were trying to be faithful to the source material, but King Arthur is rolling over in his grave.

Wanna see a great King Arthur movie? Watch either Excalibur (1981) or Camelot (1967).

I own Excalibur...part of my massive vhs collection. Just watched it last week. Very Macbeth. I haven't seen Camelot. I also watched King Arthur (2004). It wasn't that good. I liked the new one, but no Merlin?

You see "The Kid Who Would Be King"? Cute modern adaptation of the story. Also, don't know if you ever watched the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" movie with Nicholas Cage from about 10 years ago, but it's all steeped in Merlin-ness, if that's your thing.

I have seen the Sorcerer's Apprentice. I haven't seen The Kid Who Would Be King yet. I've heard of it.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Check out COHERENCE on Prime Video. An ultra-low-budget scifi that's set at a dinner party in LA. Shit gets weird - it's pretty good.

That's by the guy who did Attack the Block (Joe Cornish?), isn't it? It got good reviews but sank without trace.

LOVE Excalibur! Nicol Williamson should have been Anthony Hopkins big.

Endgame is released on digital July 30th. I’ve pre ordered it and am very excited as I have not yet seen it and have been able to remain somewhat spoiler free.

Nothing intimately spoiled, however a meme I came across a few months ago led me towards a certain incident which I believe will happen. Still I have no idea how or ultimately if it really happens.

 

[PDXFonz]

Endgame was good, no doubt about that. But I’ll be dammed if I don’t want more!

Might watch it again tonight!

 

[Hobbesarable]

The Flowers of War.

An immensely powerful film to watch about the Nanjing Massacre in China.

I don't know if I could sit through that. I tend to cry at that kind of horrific reenactment.

The older 1981 Excalibur with Nigel Terry is my favorite version.
The 1967 Camelot with Richard Harris still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It is a stunning musical. One of the best I've ever seen. My wife and I went to the stage play with Richard Harris in Seattle in the late 80s and Harris stunk. Even the reviews echoed that sentiment. I think Harris was sick and tired of that musical at that point. I would highly recommend the movie, though, unless you don't like musicals.

Yea, it sucked. They took an extremely well made, artistically groundbreaking animated feature and just made it again in CGI. Exact same movie only slightly worse. They tried to make a movie about talking animals look more “realistic” lol.
Just pop in the old version and you’re good to go.

Same here.

Good movies have been few and far between as I get a coupon every Friday from Redbox for a Blu Ray movie for $.50 for the weekend and very seldom have I used them in the past year or so as nothing really looks all that interesting and the few I have rented have been mostly meh.

We've got something in common. You have a massive collection of VHS and I have a massive penis.
