What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

Wes Mantooth said:
Some great shots in this movie. The last minute or so of the shower scene, with Herrmann’s jagged, then dying score fading as Leigh does, down the wall, her blood going down the drain with the water, that spinning of fluids “becoming” her eye, the camera then spinning slowly as it retreats from her dead body. Just that take of Leigh completely still, in that position, her eye unflinching, for that long, is pretty impressive.

I'm always looking for stuff thats well-shot. If u got any recommendations drop em, especially obscure/international stuff.

Hitchcock, Welles and Kubrick my top-3 best cinematic eye's.

There were three trailers for the film I saw. One of them, I think the third that was released, made it look “fantastic” while the other two made it look just okay.

It just seems like a played out story-arc, but I don't know what it is, guess its some sort of found Fiji Mermaid type of thing with ultimately a feel-good humanity theme....

I guess I'll check it out later tonight and check in later. I'm picky with Sci-fi stuff, expecting it to be extremely well presented but ultimately kinda boring..

today I saw 2 good older sci-fi flicks I liked;

Starman - Jeff Bridges crushes this John Carpenter film.. 9/10... Way better than "The day the earth stood still"

The Lawnmower man - To me, this is glorious! This worth a viewing just because it's so "ahead of it's time". Peirce Brosnan and the Pilot from Lost star in this tale steeped heavily in Virtual reality..

The Third Man is one of my favorite films ever.

My two faves though are probably Boogie Nights and The Talented Mr. Ripley. Both are perfect films.

The Third Man is awesome. Welles is probably the most talented person in the history of film. I love the ferris wheel shots and the lighting of the city at night. Joseph Cotton is great in that flick, I think the Cotton hitchcock flick "Shadow of a doubt" is underrated and one of Hitchcocks best, it's rumored it was one of hitchcocks favorites too IIRC.

Orson Welles is the master of making a grand entrance. I would highly recommend The Trial 1962. I'm still going thru all his movies.

I have to see the Talented Mr. Ripley again, haven't in years, Boogie Nights is excellent I've recommended it many times.

I had a Hitchcock class in college. I had watched about 10-12 of his films as a kid growing up and probably saw another 10 during the class. Shadow of a Doubt was my favorite.

No but it looks legit, will check it out in the next few days. I'm easily sold on Tom Cruise flicks, big fan of Vanilla Sky, Eyes Wide Shut and The Color of Money, to name a few.


@ONE LOVE Have either of you seen "American Made" ? Any good?

And wasn't your avatar once a still of the beachfront house scene (with DeNiro and Kilmer) in Heat? I ask because Collateral is a Mann film. So good. About a dozen minor little flaws in it which bother me. Otherwise, it would be a phenomenal film, like a 9/10...but too many little things bring it down to an 8/10 for me.

I'm pretty sure it was this shot of De Niro as Ace Rothstein in Casino.

Nope, not what I was thinking of.

You weren't the guy who loved Tron: Legacy?

I like Tron:Uprising too which was a much bigger flop than Legacy and they dumped ~50 million into it.

Look at that character design!! The bridges one is immaculate..

This documentary has aged gloriously well and it was made in-part to flaunt some of the ground-breaking techniques used by Disney to make the original Tron..
 
Went and saw 'I Can Only Imagine'.

I really enjoyed it. For those of you who get into the art of movie making and what not, it's probably not your type. But I liked it a lot. Brought the feels out and is family friendly.
 
The Player (1992)... 10/10 !!

Couldn't have cast anyone better than Tim Robbins for this role. Vincent D'orofrio also is excellent. It's a hell of a script and screenplay.

This has a 98% Rotten Tomatoes score and I can see why.
 
The Shape of Water

Meh. Really well done in many ways. The acting was very good. But it just overdid the fable/dream-like tone with too much music, and felt too stagy.
 
I saw "Tomb Raider" last night. Glad it was a free movie. It was okay, but there were plot holes that had me rolling my eyes. I never saw the Angelina Jolie movies, and I've never played the game, so perhaps I missed the point.

That girl's abs though. Wow!
 
MASH (1970) unquestionably one of the greatest war films I've seen. 10/10.

Going thru Robert Altman's movies now, love the way he writes dialogue, if anyones got some suggestions shoot..

The Long Goodbye(1973) up next.
