Movies you've seen recently and have enjoyed?

How about movies you haven't seen in forever, would love to re-watch, but can't find on NetFlix, and don't want to pay retail for the DVD?

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum
Every Which Way But Loose

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Are any of you guys like Peter from Office Space? I think I'm gonna give Kung-Fu movies a shot, some of the clips I've seen are legit and deep too.

 

Yep. Fun movie. Reminds me a lot of 70's Hong Kong movies.

 

Wookie...get a library card and check these out...lot of libraries have them or can borrow them for you for free..you can also watch most of them for free on youtube

 

The Martian was really good.

 

Thinking about wookee's question and hard to come up with movies that fall into that category right now. There is one I thought about but I do own the DVD, I just haven't watched it in a while.

Super Mario Bros...Often spoken of as a terrible movie, for some reason I love it.

 

Yes, there are a lot of old movies uploaded to youtube. Paramount put a bunch of their films youtube.

 

My wife watches Chinese movies on youtube that she's never going to see on Netflix here...it's her favorite site

 

Your top movie ever?

Casablanca for me. Especially on the big screen you see how funny (among other things) it is.

 

Good Choice but I'd probably go with the Color Purple...killer soundtrack

 

I could pick a clear winner undisputed #1 tv show, but movies are different. It's hard for me to pick just one movie.


How do you define "top" and how do you personally approach the question? I ask myself if I could only watch one more movie the rest of my life what would it be...again tough choice. Shawshank is a great movie, probably the best I've ever seen, but I don't feel like that makes it my top movie.

 

I only saw Shawshank for the first time last month. What a fantastic movie.. Instantly in my top 10 for sure.

But I also don't think I can pick an absolute favorite movie. Rocky is probably the one I've seen the most, and I absolutely love it, but I still couldn't call it my favorite.

 

I might have to go with Blade Runner as one of my top favorites and Cinderella Man is right up there

 

What do you think about them making a Blade Runner 2? I like the people involved but I'm still skeptical.

 

Blade Runner is a classic. But even then I wonder if it is the top Harrison Ford movie. Indiana Jones/Star Wars are certainly stiff competition.

I own blade runner on blu ray and have only seen it once a while ago. I'd add that movie to my "movies you haven't seen in a while that you want to re watch" list.

 

I'm all for it...I read a lot of those novels before I saw the movie. Strange Days with Ralph Fiennes is another Phillip K Dick novel...another great movie

 

I'm often anxious when somebody takes a great movie and try's to make a sequel. Sometimes it's done well and you get a solid movie out of it. Other times it's The product of money grubbing writers/directors who end up messing it up big time.

 

Has anyone here not seen Forrest Gump? That's definitely a top movie cantidate for me.

 

Dope.

A LOT better than I was expecting.

Definitely has 'The Wood' vibe to it.

 

I agree, but I don't think it's about the money for this director. Denis Villanueve is quickly becoming one of my favorite directors of today. I've loved all of his movies. Prisoners was one of my best theater experiences ever because I saw it without knowing anything about it and was blown away. Enemy was very thought provoking and I thought Sicario was a perfect thriller. He certainly knows how to create suspense and get great performances out of his actors.
