bows1 posted:So I finally have a giant TV and a new apartment where I can view some movies the best way possible (besides in the actual theater). I really want to catch up on some classic movies that are better on the big screen, and grab some bluRays to watch. First on the list is Terrance Malick (I haven't seen any of them). Any other off the cuff recommendations for Gorgeous classics on blu-Ray? All That Heaven Allows

Back in the day, and I'm only talking about like '09, the plasma equivalent of that TV would be easily twice that. If you got it for eight something, I am flabbergasted.

If you got it for eight something, I am flabbergasted. I spent less than that on my 120Hz 3dTV about a year ago, although its a little smaller. But then I also got like a "45 1080p screen off woot for like $200 and other than the fact that it can't do 3D or 120hz (which I only occasionally use) its pretty much just as good for like 10% of the cost. If you don't need a fancy smart tv that can do 3D, even big screen flatscreen 1080 TVs are STUPID cheap now. They're pushing 120hz 3D because that's the only feature they have to really sell you on now, that and 4K. And there's not enough 4K content to be worth the cost yet.

I watched Lost Soul The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau earlier this week, and while the movie itself was ok the stories were fantastic. These kinds of behind the scenes what the hell went wrong / terribly right documentaries are a lot of fun. I've seen American Movie, Burden of Dreams, and Lost in La Mancha. I've got Heart of Darkness on the docket whenever I get around to Apocalypse Now (which I know is a big blind spot and I plan on rectifying it soon). Are there any other fun / schadenfreude-tinged documentaries detailing productions gone awry I should add to the list?

Are there any samurai movies that focus on battles between armies? Heaven and Earth and Ran are the only ones I can think of where there's armies fighting instead of a duel between two or more dudes.

Heaven and Earth and Ran are the only ones I can think of where there's armies fighting instead of a duel between two or more dudes. Does The Last Samurai count?  Awful lot of Tom Cruise but there was a couple of pretty cool battles between modern and traditional samurai armies. Yeah most of the samurai films I know are sword-and-sandal stuff about one or two guys. (or 7) Kurosawa's Ran definitely has some big battles. He's probably got some other films with armies in them too. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Aug 10, 2015 |

I was watching Stretch on the US netflix a few weeks back and while it wasn't a great movie, it did make me want to see something that follows a similar theme. I guess I'm trying to find movies that involve the main character finding out about secret/underground/weird locations or organisations in their city; sort of the "seedy underbelly". Bonus points if they have to travel to multiple locations. Is this a thing in noir films, maybe? I'm not sure I've ever seen a noir film.

Beaten to Society, okay in the same vein (sort of) American Mary (NOTE: Both of these movies are not for the squeamish.)

Bonus points if they have to travel to multiple locations. Is this a thing in noir films, maybe? I'm not sure I've ever seen a noir film. Definitely seconding Eyes Wide Shut and Blue Velvet. I would also think of Rosemary's Baby, Videodrome and Hardcore (1979), maybe Kill List or even Auto Focus. Kill List and Videodrome being towards the cusp of how hosed up a film can get for me in terms of graphic content, because I am not very into that generally. In terms of noir stuff generally, "seedy underbelly" is pretty fundamental to the genre, but wasn't really possible to depict much actual seediness in the censor-heavy 1940s and 50s, so you're probably looking at neo-noir. Even then you'll kind of have to take the content for what it is, given the Internet has put a lot of distance between what was historically considered shocking and now, but if you're up for good neo-noir stuff that has seedy-underbelly woven right in there (albeit not the sole driving force), I would think LA Confidential, Chinatown, Get Carter (1972).

This is basically the whole movie, although the weirdness is meant for the viewer, not the main character.
