  1. Remember I thought Apes was a masterpiece some years back. Would be nice to see if it still holds up.
  2. This thread's gonna be all like this when Superman IV is 6th because that is the only 1987 movie most of this community know of. Meltdowns here we come
  3. Just a bit Off Topic: Does anyone know where Canastop is? I haven't seen her around lately and can't find her when I google.. She was such dedicated Zootopia spokeswoman.
  4. I'm pretty sick of origin stories though. I can live without that being explained. Just let him be bad ass from the start and then he meets an even more bad assier (carnage). And then we have some creative action scenes. Studios should stop rebooting and tell origin stories all the time. It's just plain lazy lol Not a big fan of Sin City (2005) but that one should be the blueprint for these kind of movies nowadays. Lots of characters who just are what they are without much further detail on why that is.
  5. I'm watching it right now as a part of my mid summer marathon. Queueing: Brokeback Mountain Carol Batman and Robin A Hard Day's Night
  6. Of the 10-15 I've seen and was recommended I really really liked a) Odd Man Out The Lady From Shanghai Gentlemen's Agreement (best pic that year) was almost not not bad.
  7. What is Carol doing on this list? It ain't provocative. It's just a sad and nostalgic masterpiece. Think I'm gonna watch it tonight, back to back with "Brokeback Mountain" and "Batman and Robin" and "A Hard Day's Night".
  8. People will not be thinking very fondly of The Force Awakens when The Last Jedi is released.
  9. It a was a completely different experience to watch this than any other super hero movie. It deals with ideals and is questioning the human being in such a bizzarely moving way. Wonder Woman is the perfect being (a so called übermench) and she finds herself in a war started by humans. The first world war setting is kinda perfect because it's hard to imagine a stranger war than this. In the end the war was pretty much a result of tensions between states and the greed of authorities. (Compare WWI to WW2 which (kinda) was a result of ideologies.) It's funny but at the same time tragic to watch Wonder Woman come to our world and see how lost we are. She has no understadning of this.She wants to help humanity but can not relate to it and is not prepared to handle humanity. She thinks evil is because of divine powers when they really are not and it's so cool and sad to see how she comes to realize this.
  10. OK, so this is so good. It's a simple straight movie. The characters have motivations. They are well defined. They are funny to watch. It's beautifully shot and tells the story more through pictures rather than dialogue. It knows what it wants to be and it is what it wants to be: melodramatic, fun, beautiful, big. A success. A- (Very good! Executed with precision and determination.)
  11. I think those will be membered: Silence -- Because Scorsese is a director who already is classic, and this movie (along with Taxi Driver and Raging Bull) is the one were he rally deals with the big, religous questions. BvS -- 10 years from now people look back on it, shrug shoulders, thinking they know better now.. Pretty much like many born between 88-92 think of Spice Girls nowadays. It will be remembered because it's Superman and Batman. 10 Cloverfield Lane -- IF J.J. has a plan how to wrap this franchise up in a unique way and IF the next one is kinda great it will be remembered as a part of a great movie universe. La La Land -- For its achievements. Being a musical is not easy nowadays, and to make one this honest and 80%-not cheesy is very hard. Remember "Moulin Rouge"? SW: R1 -- It's Star Wars. ST: ID -- The best and humane Star Treker. I don't think Arrival will be much remembered (three or four very good thrillers are released almost every year), neither Zootopia (more greats will be coming!) nor Deadpool (people will be like: "what were we thinking?!")
