morestuff posted:End of Watch is very good, Pena and Jake are excellent together. The villains are drawn with a very broad stroke that clashes with the overall tone but it's definitely worth a watch. The story is definitely the weakest part of End Of Watch. The chemistry between Peņa and Gyllenhaal is worth the price of admission.

A MIRACLE posted:What are some good action thrillers I should check out? I've watched every comedy on Netflix I think. I like movies like shooter, and basically anything with Liam neeson John Woo's The Killer is pretty good, even though some of the drama falls flat. Unrelated: the '53 War of the Worlds is up, time to relive part of my childhood!

They're both excellent in their own ways. Boosh! posted:Just started Ravenous (on Netflix) for the first time since maybe when it was initially released. The opening credits are fantastic. Guy Pearce vomiting and a freeze-frame with the title is cinematic perfection. The rest of the movie is pretty good too, if you like dark comedy.

When did Rocky get put back up on Netflix? If you haven't seen it, you should definitely watch it. It's a great drama, and more than lives up to its legacy as a classic.

The Conversation is up. It was the first movie Francis Ford Coppola released in 1974, and it's a knockout. Gene Hackman plays a secretive, socially-awkward surveillance worker who becomes curious about a conversation he's paid to snoop on. It touches on a lot of themes, including religion and moral quandaries presented by such a job, and the stuff about surveillance still holds up to this day. The cinematography is great, in a subtle, unflashy way. Hackman's character is very well-drawn and, of course, well-acted. Plus, Harrison Ford before he was popular! Give it a go if you're in the mood for a great 70's thriller.

The more I think about Holy Motors, the more I dislike it. Once you come up with a reading of the film, it suddenly becomes a lot less interesting because most of the mystery is gone. It also completely front-loads itself with the best stuff.

Burn Notice is a fun, if formulaic, show with a pretty good cast, Gabriel Anwar aside. And yes, it does have a lot of fun bit parts. I wish they had given Robert Patrick more to do. It's the kind of show where creating a fake missionary to make the villain of the week look insane doesn't feel out of place.

It throws everything at the wall, and it all sticks.

I have definitely seen Windtalkers, but I can't tell you if it was good or bad. It's not very inspired like some of Woo's other American efforts, like Hard Target or the masterpiece that Face/Off is, and is overall forgettable.

Enos Cabell posted:I just watched Lost Soul last night and really dug it. The closest documentary I can think of would be Lost in La Mancha about Terry Gilliams failed attempt to get a Don Quixote movie made. Also there is Overnight about Troy Duffy (Boondock Saints) flaming out of Hollywood. I don't think either are streaming anywhere right now, though they have been on Netflix in the past. The existence of Boondock Saints is justified by Overnight. It's incredible watching Troy Duffy be given the chance of a lifetime, and then watching him squander it and burn all his bridges. It doesn't appear to be on any streaming, which is disappointing, because it's pretty good.

coyo7e posted:I don't think it's really that people don't care about the west, it's just that they care differently about it then we did as a society, once upon a time. Ravenous would be a prime example of a modern "Western" for instance, where the depravity and misery and desperation are all brought to the fore, as much as the scenery and the six shooters. Ravenous owns, and it's on Netflix. It's a weird genre-hopping movie that touches on Westerns, horror, and dark comedy. Definitely a good watch if that sounds intriguing to anyone. And the soundtrack kicks rear end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V-KLn_PgQg

stickyfngrdboy posted:I've watched two films in a row many times. Maybe I should develop the thought further to say that taking two films, which have very little in common (most of the examples in this thread, for instance), watching them, then telling people they pair well as if it means something. Most, if not all, of the double bills floated here are suggested because there is something about the two movies that are similar, but they're not the same. Assault on Precinct 13 and The Warriors share a similar visual style, and are about surrounded groups holding out as best they can over the course of one night.

I'd pair Halloween III with Phantasm. Something about them more being mystery movies with sci-fi elements and infiltrating "normal" but mysterious locations links the two in my mind. I'd also do New Nightmare and Babadook, because so many similar visuals and themes carry over from the former to the latter.

Overall that's why I think I like Shock Treatment more. It's more focused on a message than Rocky Horror, and it builds upon a central thesis. Phantom of the Paradise is still better than both, though.
