Good? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good? As long as it didn't play publicly (outside of a festival) in 2006. edit: confirmed, it's 2007. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking awesome. If y'all haven't seen it yet, go watch it now. Paprika is the amazing, final film that Satoshi Kon completed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 paprika is ok. there's a few Kon movies that would make my yearly top 25s but not that one. pretty but muddled and kinda boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care for about 98% of mainstream American comedy from the rise of Apatow onwards, but Walk Hard is the biggest exception. I assume it's the combination of the period sets and costumes and the fact that they were spoofing a very specific type of movie and had to save some time for the musical numbers that forced them to rely on an actual comedy script (!) with strong jokes in it (!!!) instead of just endless scenes of people standing around and riffing, and thank fucking god for that. Great music, great central performance, and it actually looks like it had a budget, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Black Book is absolutely essential and Bug is another one I'd recommend wholeheartedly. An all-timer of a performance from Ashley Judd opposite Michael Shannon already being great at his whole Michael Shannon thing a couple of years before his Revolutionary Road breakout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcaballero Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) This is a great idea for movie recommendations that don't quite fall into the "can't-miss classic" category (at least for some of us younger members ).

Tower Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 2007 is before the time I got into watching movies, so I have only seen handful from then including trash like Transformers and the third Pirates that would never make my list, so I am going to have to watch a lot before submitting a list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
