top 50 films for the half decade; Kalo's list begins! (pg. 45)

[CoolioD1]

It starts with a guy trying to kill himself and ends with the same guy fighting for his life. like I said, If there's no hope in the grey there's no hope in gravity either.

[Plain Old Tele]

If you want bleak, LEVIATHAN's it.

I guess, forgot the arc of the character.

No thanks.

Expected but underwhelming #1.

The Grey isn't necessarily hopeful, but it does hit on embracing life and fighting for each possible moment even if the weight of the world is against you.

#1: Boyhood

written and directed by: Richard Linklater

 

 

The opposite, in many ways, to my #2 movie, this is a more sprawling story. It gently unfolds. Characters (almost exclusively) are treated warmly. It’s not a judgemental film, it’s not about the darker aspects of human nature. In fact, in almost every way, describing it makes it sound nondescript. And yet, there’s a cumulative power here that’s almost overwhelming… it just sneaks up on you. The last forty-five minutes or so is the most emotional continuous experience I’ve had in movies since… I dunno, maybe ROTK. It manages to be a movie of precise, small, nondescript moments very specific to Texas at the turn of the century, and yet it’s completely and powerfully universal as well. This is not a movie for the brain, it’s a movie for your heart.

I had that movie in my hand the other day.  I will definitely be picking it up now.  Thanks for the recommendation.

How about let it go for a while?  There are so many going at once.

 

I'm not telling you what to do, but I'd wait a while.

Aye. I was originally like 3rd or 4th in line for the Top 50 of the half-decade, but there are countdowns everywhere, so I'm just going to wait until everyone else is done and it cools down a bit.

Working on my top 50 of the first half of this decade list. Not going to do write ups, so I will just post it in this thread in a couple weeks after I finally watch Song of the Sea with like 10 movies listed a day.

Don't have time to do write ups and I suck at writing anyways, but I still want to show my list.

It is more so I don't like writing much as I always over analyze it and it takes me forever.

[BK007]

Full list for Tele?

I may end up doing a "Top x Movies Released Since I Was Born" list at the end of 2015.

[Ozymandias]

The Grey is amazing, I remember it getting some boos at the end in my theater...

 

Damn GA... they probably went into that movie expecting a fun action B-movie with Liam Neeson punching/stabbing some hungry wolves for 2 hours.  Admittedly, thats what I went to see it for as well because it was that time of the year(FUCK YOU, ITS JANUARY!) and it looked like a movie that could be mildly fun, but after 10 minutes I knew there was gonna be much, much more to that movie and by the end of it I was floored.  Every character was great and every time one of them died it was like getting punched in the gut.  That final scene with Diaz where he gives up =
