magic cactus posted:Watched The Mask Of Zorro on a whim last night and ended up enjoying it. Looking for similar sorts of low-stakes swashbuckling\romance\adventure movies, closest I can think of would be the first two Pirates of The Caribbean films. Prisoner of Zenda works pretty well. Both the villains kill it, and it ends with a sick rapier duel

buglord posted:requesting movies that don't make you feel like poo-poo after. world is bleak and tough, need something that inspires hope, offers a way to look at things in a more positive light. it doesn't need to have political tones or relevance to the world today, it can just be "heres a story about a frog that wanted to be as big as a house and then did so" or "this goblin's family got killed by the heroes and here's how he made peace with that" or maybe its a movie you like that features cars but makes you feel like you can take on the world each time you finish it.

You know, I feel that. Before Sunset has maybe the best ending in cinema, easily if we refine it to Romantic Films. Going from that to Midnight is a real rough road to walk.

Bald Stalin posted:I was hoping to get some recommendations for epic high production value period films where in the end everyone sort of loses. I love Amadeus, There will be blood, Barry lyndon. Sorry if this is too vague. Thank you! Ran, Citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia, Polanski's Macbeth, The Prisoner of Zenda, Babylon, Abel Gance's Napoleon (it ends on a high point, but you know Napoleon didn't go out the way he would've preferred. It's also absolutely incredible what it was doing back in 27).

The Martian would've been such a good film if Damon had bit off his tongue in the first scene.

Onomarchus posted:Since you liked Moonlight you might try Boyhood, if only to compare. Bildungsroman (not just coming-of-age, which can cover a short period like Stand by Me) isn't a common movie subgenre, and the only alternative approach to Moonlight's is Boyhood's. I'm not aware of anything like Boyhood being done in film before or since, though apparently Linklater's trying again. Truffaut's Antoine Doinel series starting with 400 Blows, although that's 3 films and one short.

I don't think I'd call Le Samouraï a noir, it's ancestor is the gangster movie and it's lineage The Driver and Drive. They should watch it anyways though because it's loving sick, then Le Cercle Rouge afterwords to see the ancestor of Heat.

It feels consensus that it's Quentin's worst. It's also probably his least watched of his modern work.

Kill Bill Duology is sliding into the slot Jackie Brown used to occupy as the hipster best film now that the general consensus on Jackie Brown has been suitably reappraised. Personally I think Once upon a time...is his best but that's not super popular

Blowout for an incredibly well made but still schlocky political thriller in the vein of The Conversation and Snake Eyes for a film that doubles down on that.

Dr. Yinz Ljubljana posted:what I love about Blow Out is that it's De Palma doing a not-so-sneaky remake of Anthonini's Blow-Up, and kicking Anthonini's rear end. Naw, Blowout is a good movie. Blowup is a transcendent piece of art that forces you to reflect on the very nature of the medium.
