LORD OF BUTT posted:Also hopping on the "not a big fan of ET or Close Encounters" train, though I do like War of the Worlds decently enough.  Even when it came out as a kid I hated ET. I haven't watched it in decades probably, but I don't remember liking it ever. Close Encounters I've seen recently and it just falls totally flat for me. WotW though is quite underrated.

The climax of Close Encounters is absolutely amazing, I don't understand how someone could be unaffected by that.

The climax of Close Encounters is great, but everything surrounding the climax is just... eh.

I feel the exact opposite in every regard: loved ET as a kid, rewatched Close Encounter recently and still think it's great, but War of the Worlds did nothing for me (I'm a big fan of the 50's version, though).

Speilberg's War of the Worlds has some memorable scenes in it but I felt it was ruined by the happy family reunion in the ending scene until I decided that it was just a repeat of Gladiator and Tom Cruise actually died near the end of the movie and he's just coming home to his dead family. Anyway I just found out a few days ago that Amazon made a pilot episode of a Man in the High Castle TV series a few months back and it's actually really good, and you can watch it for free: http://www.amazon.com/The-Man-High-Castle-HD/dp/B00RSGIVVO

I'm kind of tempted just because Nic Cage hamming it up is always entertaining, but there's a pretty good chance he's phoning it in for the paycheck a la Season of the Witch.

magnificent7 posted:Godammit stop discussing good movies and tell me what to watch on Netflix instead. The French Connection. New Nightmare, too. Of the 4 Elm Street movies I've seen, it's my second-favorite. It would make a good meta-horror double-feature with Scream, which is also up HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Hot Fuzz. This too. Uncle Boogeyman posted:Saturday Night Fever I didn't know if this one was good or if it was just remembered for its soundtrack and being a slice of the 70's. I'll have to give it a go if you're recommending it.

If you're into podcasts there's one called The Canon where two film critics take a movie and ask if it should be added to "the canon" of great movies. Two weeks ago they did Saturday Night Fever, it's a really good listen and breakdown of the film if you have an hour. CHECK IT OUT!

The episode I listened to was Not Good, but it was the first one so maybe they've rounded into form a bit. Though funnily enough it was the other host I didn't really care for.

Saturday Night Fever is good but Stayin' Alive (not on Netflix I don't think) is so many levels of odd that I like it more. Plus it has the greatest song ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAuL_noJLoo Edit Also I interpret the ending of the film as him returning to his home planet.
