My absolutely favorite terrible movie, Rising Sun, features a literal senpai Connery to kohai Snipes relationship in a neo-noir mishmash of appreciation for and racist fear of Japanese culture and their early 90's economic peak.

Examples would be: These are what comes to mind so I hope they fit what you are looking for: Accidental mentordoms (i.e. dramas with a generous dose of comedy to them): Gene Hackman and Al Pacino in Scarecrow, Jeff Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld in True Grit, Jack Nicholson and Randy Quaid in The Last Detail, Jerry Lewis and Robert DeNiro in The King of Comedy, Albert Finney and Gabriel Byrne in Miller's Crossing Comedies: Harry Dean Stanton and Emilio Estevez in Repo Man, virtually every Wes Anderson film but especially Rushmore and The Grand Budapest Hotel, Martin Landau and Johnny Depp in Ed Wood Dramas and / or outright dysfunctional mentordoms: Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (spoilers!!!), JK Simmons and Miles Teller in Whiplash, Paul Newman and Brandon de Wilde in Hud, Paul Newman and Tom Cruise in The Color of Money, , Sean Connery and Christian Slater in The Name of the Rose, a lot of latter day Clint Eastwood films but especially Gran Torino, Jean Reno and Natalie Portman in Leon, probably most PT Anderson films but especially Hard Eight (aka Sydney) and The Master

4 RING SHRIMP posted:Hi! Does anyone have any recommendations for things like Into the Wild, Wildlike, Wild (lol), Easy Rider, Happy People. Basically like some Americana wanderlust/living off the grid. Something you watch where you're like "drat id love to drive cross country in a camper van and go to the national parkS" or "I just want to live a little off the grid but not necessarily like a complete maniac". Basically just want to escape city living for a bit. I thought Wildlike was complete garbage, even more ham-fisted than Wild. If you're into the more masochistic/unorthodox portrayal of wanderlust, I'd recommend Tracks, about the woman who walked across the Australian outback with nothing but a camel, and the documentary The Barkley Marathons about the best-worst race in the world that takes place in rural Tennessee.

Since the Color of Money came up, should also mention The Hustler with George C Scott mentoring Paul Newman.

Uh, Paul Newman was two years older and been in film for longer, according to his imdb profile.

Coaaab posted:Uh, Paul Newman was two years older and been in film for longer, according to his imdb profile. His character is more mature and acts as a mentor even if the actor's ages are pretty close. The woman who played Cary Grant's mom in North by Northwest was only 8 years older than him.

In the span of two weeks, I've watched Saving Private Ryan again, The Pacific, Band of Brothers and Letters From Iwo Jima for the first time, Flags of Our Fathers is at halftime on Netflix and I'm watching The Thin Red Line right now. I've always loved Spielberg's WW2, I honestly think Eastwood's is pretty bland and bad, and I loving adore Terrence Malick so The Thin Red Line is working for me. What's next in regards to war? I've seen the classic Vietnam ones, Platoon, FMJ and Apocalypse Now, seen Black Hawk Down, and probably some more I'm forgetting. I'm a fan of Spielberg's realistic style and Malick's philosophical ramblings/stunning cinematography.

Try Hope & Glory and Enemy at the Gates. The former is another 70s auteur's take, albeit a more personal one. The latter covers the siege of Leningrad, which I thought was a really interesting military situation.

WWI got all the good films: Paths of Glory, Lawrence of Arabia, All Quiet on the Western Front, La Grande Illusion. No wonder they called it the Great War.

Want to watch something fairly light and upbeat. Not necessarily a comedy, but something that kinda zips along and just has a good time. Somewhere in the range of a Joe Versus the Volcano or maybe an Everybody Wants Some!!. Not a straight-up comedy or anything with too much action or drama. Just something that's a real good time at the movies.

Pablo Bluth posted:For British horror movies that don't take themselves too seriously, Dog Soldiers is a blast. Ben Wheatley is probably appropriate too. Sightseers is probablly the closest to Attack the Block in tone, but Kill List is also pretty gritty, just not as energetic. I absolutely loathed Kill List, but I respect it for the risks it takes.

Similar in budget mainly but thematically is fine too as long as it's low budget and indie. Stranger Than Paradise was a good recommendation I enjoyed it.

Honestly if you liked Stranger Than Paradise and want to branch out from no budget to low budget I'd say you should watch 2 Days in New York. edit: it's on Netflix!

I'm looking for war movies. Things that are super almost retarded action packed specifically, like 13 Hours, Black Hawk Down, We Were Soldiers (or whatever that Mel Gibson movie was). I was not a huge fan of ones that are more psychological like the Thin Red Line, etc. I really like: Platoon 13 Hours Black Hawk Down Saving Private Ryan We Were Soldiers Also if it includes a political plot like 13 days, etc. then that works fine. Basically I am looking for action-packed war movies. I have to spend the next 48 hours in a shithole city in Kansas with nothing to do but drink myself into an incoherent stupor and watch movies. Any suggestions?
