War movies? Yeah, you'll want to narrow that down a little. If you want to go right back, then you can't go wrong with starting with Zulu, which is one of the best war films of all time.

If you're gonna recommend Restrepo, you should also throw Armadillo in there.

Some are hurt, some have weapons, some are tied up - nobody knows what the gently caress. Awesome movie. edit: Also, give In Bruges a whirl. Colin Farrell fucks up a hit, and is put on "vacation" by his boss. Dark and funny. Jadz fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Sep 15, 2011 |

Looking for fun party movies to watch with friends. I tend to like batshit genre movies and like to share them with friends. The problem is that my friends are movie wimps and can't handle alot of excess gore or nudity. I've watched Sleepaway Camp and They Live in the past and both went over great. I'm thinking of showing The Warriors next but am looking for other suggestions.

codyclarke posted:Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is like 90% this. Seconding this--it's a great flick and extremely watchable. Throw in Heat, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, The Departed, Michael Clayton, Taken, and Die Hard and Taxi Driver of course. For lesser known, but still worth seeing, (if they're not at least excellent), then La Haine, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (which seems to pop up quite often in this thread, for good reason), and Green Zone sort of. I guess even The Third Man, too. In fact, quite a few films noir take place in urban areas--and it pretty much goes without saying that they're largely taking place at night.

I'm looking for a decent horror movie with a specific kind of setting. I like the idea of paranormal/spooky stuff happening in a busy city. The idea of having so many thousands of people around and still being in danger or without help is just creepy to me. Apartments, streets, metro tunnels and such being set pieces. Think the alleyway car scene from Jacob's Ladder or (for a non-film example) Silent Hill 4. (The apartment setting, seeing the busy street below) But any other examples escape me. Any ideas? Preferably no monster or alien flicks. More so paranormal, haunting, demonic, psychological, etc... Edit: Also, about 10 pages back, a few of you recommended me Noir flicks. I binged through the majority of them on a three day weekend and have a new love of the genre. Thanks again. Several Goblins fucked around with this message at 09:16 on Sep 18, 2011 |

The Roman Polanski Apartment trilogy is the quintessential example of this: Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby, The Tenant. Aside from that, The Sentinel (the '77 version). penismightier fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Sep 18, 2011 |

Thanks for the recommendation of Red Road. It was exactly what I was looking for. I recently watched 13 Tzameti and thought it was an incredibly tense movie. I know it got a Hollywoodized remake that supposedly sucks but I didn't know if there were any other films that approached bloodsport or human gambling in this more subtle fashion. Nothing like The Running Man, Battle Royale, or The Condemned where it's this huge spectacle of hunting each other Most Dangerous Game: American Gladiators style.

What are some good films that satirize high society? The more vicious the better. Catty bitches are a plus (All About Eve is at the top of my Netflix queue).

Can anyone recommend anything similar to The Last Kiss? May have been the first film I have ever seen to contain was a convincing, grown-up look at love past twenty-five.

I haven't seen The Last Kiss, but the best films about love that I can think of are: Before Sunrise (late teens/early 20s), Before Sunset (amazing film)(early 30s), Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind (also amazing) and maybe Lost in Translation (amazingest, but it's not quite a lovestory).

Marx Brothers' A Night At The Opera, of course. Eat The Rich - John Waters so it's crude and crass and made on a budget.

I'm looking for some good Hong Kong film recommendations. I got started with Infernal Affairs and after that I've watched a lot of Johnny To's stuff. Doesn't necessarily have to be crime movies, anything good will do. Edit: My short term memory is poo poo and post has been edited because of it.

Hong Kong specifically? Because Korea has a lot of good stuff as well -- Oldboy (and the other two films in the Vengeance trilogy), Memories of Murder, Audition, to name a few.

I think Hong Kong cinema has a very particular feel to it, but Asian cinema in general is fine I guess. Been completely out of the loop regarding it.

Enemy at the Gate is one of my favorites, and I don't think anyone mentioned it. What's a good dinner movie? For me, a dinner movie is a movie I can watch while I eat that has eye candy, action, humor, and doesn't require a lot of thinking. It doesn't even have to be a particularly good movie.
