The Amazing Movies Thread

If anybody is into war movies ‘Platoon’ is pretty amazing. 9/10 which is actually based by the director who directed this movie that was in the Vietnam war Chris is supposed to be him.

‘Apocalypse Now’ is another good one. 8/10

‘We Were Soldiers’ is good. 7/10

‘Saving Private Ryan’. Based on a true story 9/10

‘The Caine Mutiny’ is is another classic. I give also 10/10

‘Sands of Iwo Jima’. 10/10 I still own this classic on VHS🙃

And I forgot about ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ which is is based on a true story. 9/10

‘They Shall Not Grow Old’ which is a war documentary based on WW1 It’s not a movie but the reason why I’m recommending it is because It was in theaters for a short period of time Which I had the privilege of going when it came out! What they did was they grabbed the

old footage from back then and they redone it with perfection they also dubbed The voices and they

actually sound like each person which is crazy and they hired a lip readers which I never even knew was like a thing apparently very done the noise everything it’s crazy you absolutely have to see this documentary also behind the scenes on how they did it! Easily a 10/10 I really want to see this director do WW2 Now that’ll be amazing!

And I really love that song at the end credits called: Mademoiselle from Armentieres song by PLAN 9!

‘1917’. 8/10

Mmm…And that’s all the war movies I’ve seen. I got some more on VHS that I have yet to watch.

when I recommended Excalibur (1981) I’m actually shocked that I forgot all about

‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ this is another good 1!

Since I mentioned Batman. Here are some other superhero movies I also recommend:

‘Superman’ a LEGENDARY FILM 10/10

‘Superman 2’ 8/10 I actually in some ways love this way MORE than the first film because this is the one when general zod and his team finally come in! And it is amazing! But what pulls it down is Superman gives away his superpowers to be with the woman he

loves…when he can still have his superpowers and be with the woman he loves! It just didn’t make any sense on why he would not want to have superpowers!!! Other than that that movie is amazing definitely in my opinion the first two films are amazing The first one just being gold! Oh and how can I forget about that iconic theme song!

As for the other films I can’t remember them I think they did eventually fall off and it became cheesy and just bad. BUT since I’m talking about Superman one of my other favorite Superman films is

‘Man of steel’ 9/10 yeah it’s a bit darker than what the Superman universe normally IS but I look at it as a different world of Superman a completely different version from what I understand not all Superman fans are like hardcore love this film which I guess he has understandable. But I thought the casting was amazing

Henry Cavill is casted perfectly as Superman! From recent news I heard apparently he won’t be playing Superman no more because of DC or something I don’t know but I hope that’s not true because I’m tired of DC constantly changing cast of Superman just keep CAVILL DC! We’re speaking of Superman there’s a horror version called brightburn I think? I have yet to see that one I heard it was good. Oh and I almost forgot to mention the new theme song for Superman in Man of steel is amazing! It’s just so uplifting!

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ 10/10 not only there’s tons of action but it’s also hilarious too!

‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ 9/10 surprisingly a really awesome Spider-Man movie lol! Tom Holland I thought was a really great choice for Spider-Man his friend is pretty funny too Zendaya as MJ was just fucking hilarious! :joy: The Tobey Maguire films are okay I guess 1st two are dumb fun and the 3rd is just bad. And the Andrew Garfield movies I honestly just didn’t like.

‘300’ this fucking movie is the most ManLY movie of existence! just jacked badasses! Fucking fighting each other!!! Doesn’t get ManLIER than that!!! 10/10

And The sequel ‘300: Rise of an Empire’ 10/10 but this sequel is actually taking place at the same time as the 1st movie. And Eva Green that plays Artemisia is this sexy badass bitch of a villain I thought she did a great job!

‘Gladiator’ is another badass movie that also earns 10/10 I actually still have this recorded on VHS.

So many good ones mentioned. A hidden gem for sci-fi/monster fans is Splinter. Splinter (2008) - IMDb

‘The 36th Chamber of Shaolin’ 10/10 easily one of my favorite martial arts movies I believe there’s three of these unfortunately I never seen the other two.

‘The Legend Of Drunken Fist’ (Drunken Master 2) 10/10
This is literally nonstop action! Especially at the end it is crazy just long sections of fight scenes not long to appointed drags it’s perfect timing! Just amazing! Oh yeah also apparently the original ending was really fucked up but then they changed it in the American version from what I understand, oh and Anita Mui who plays Wong’s mother is really fucken funny too! Definitely one of my favorite Jackie chan movies unfortunately I couldn’t watch the first one but I heard that film is great too!

‘Fist of Legend’ 10/10 definitely one of my favorite Jet Li movies!

‘Romeo Must Die’ 9/10

‘Black Mask’ 8/10 MUSIC WAS FUCKING COOL!

‘Kiss Of The Dragon’ definitely one of the weaker Jet Li movies I’ve seen so far but still pretty good. 7/10

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ okay let me clear something up right now lol :joy: on rotten tomatoes it says

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is exactly as advertised: one-liners, brawls, and general silliness. Good for the young at heart, irritating for everyone else.”

THAT IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!!! The first film is actually really dark and actually is legitimately a really good movie they, were mistaken it for the sequels. 9/10

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2:The Secret Of The Ooze’ is when they got silly and had 1 liners! Still a good movie though. 8/10

“BEEEEEBIEEEEUUS!!! THEYYYUAAAA BAAABIIIEEESS!!!”

NOW! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 IS TERRIBLE. THAT IS THE WORST ONE OUT OF THREE OF THEM! But I did like the Japanese base in the music was really good in fact if it wasn’t a teenage mutant Ninja turtles movie I’m pretty sure it would be a pretty good feudal

Japan movie. 3/10 OH but NO! THERE’S EVEN WORSE TURTLE STUFF ONES FROM THE BOTTOMLESS PIT ONES THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST! Thankfully I haven’t seen those The angry video game there did sucks for him lol once I have seen though that was garbage was the TMNT(2014) reboot! That is a FUCKING 1/10

SERIOUSLY FOOT CLAN USING GUNS!!! You know ninjas?! They also made a sequel to the reboot which crammed in lots of characters and I did fix some problems I heard The second one sucked too but did fix little problems but the biggest problem is they just crammed in too many characters and it just ended up falling flat on his face DARE I say…I would rather watch TMNT 3 (1993) 50 MORE TIMES!

OH WOW! Yeah I actually put that one on my list it popped up by accident when I was trying to search something else definitely one I’m interested seeing!

Now back to some more movies I also recommend that are really good starting with

‘Predator’ easily a 10/10 filled with one-liners in badassery must I say more! Arnold Schwarzenegger is easily one of my favorite action stars! And who came forget that theme song! Also for 'Predator 2 I can’t remember how that movie but I do remember I didn’t

like it🤔 ,and then there’s ‘Predators’ which I thought was a average movie 5/10 and then the most recent film ‘THE predator’ 6/10 which I have seen it, and shockingly its pretty funny The jokes landed-well most of them I think there was like one or two that stumbled, and also the CGI predator looked bad at times The characters were pretty funny but let’s be honest nothing can top the first predator!

‘Commando’ 10/10

‘True Lies’ 9/10

And I think the first two terminator movies were good and then the rest of them just went way downhill at least from what I remember I have to go back.

‘Total recall’ 10/10 there was a reboot but that was like 1/10 I don’t recommend that movie

‘The Running Man’ 10/10

there was also ‘The Last Action Hero’ that came out in the '90s I haven’t seen that one but from what I heard it was very underrated and rarely anybody even knew about it and it did not sell well. And another Arnold movie I saw was collateral damage which was a 6/10 for me it was the weakest Arnold movie I’ve seen there’s bunch more I haven’t seen that he was in.

‘Conan the Barbarian’ 10/10 a classic (reboot doesn’t exist :rage:… it NEVER HAPPENED) and Conan the Destroyer what you already know it’s going to be bad if it’s rated PG it was a very dull sequel. 2/10 I heard there was a article something that Arnold wanting to do another Conan and him being on the throne and being this Old war-torn King and a new warrior has to take his place THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

‘The Fifth Element’ 10/10 I mean come on I had to say this one! Plus Milla is in it AND it’s a good movie! Lol

Speak of Milla I was actually rewatching

‘Resident Evil’ it was actually a really good movie! I thought they were all garbage but the first one is actually pretty damn good! Not only that but seizure of power, and the theme song! SOOOOO GOOOD! 9/10

OH! and Michelle Rodriguez is in this movie too! She plays my favorite character’ which is: Rain. I really want her to be in a Alien movie (which is wonderful my favorite sci-fi horror movies of all time…well I heard the last one was really bad so yeah I’m kind of scared to see that one lol)

Total Recall is based off of one of my favourite short stories, We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, by Philip K. Dick. He’s one of the best sci fi writers of all time. So many movies are based off of his books and short stories.

Resident Evil: Afterlife was meh but it has a cool opening tho!

I actually never seen any of the blade runner movies lol I really needed to get on it! I think the last one came out was bland from what I understand I can’t remember. But I’ll Definitely check it out!

‘Hitman’
I surprisingly haven’t seen much Chuck Norris movies just this film and ‘Missing in Action 2: The Beginning’ (VHS) which I own The case is pretty big. 10/10

‘Tango & Cash’
was pretty amazing too! I think someone told me it’s pretty underrated I don’t know how true that is. 9/10

Rambo’

Out of all the Rambo movies this is my #1 favorite I can’t remember all of the older films that well but I just thought they were okay… which let’s talk about that ‘Rambo’ uuhh…why JUST Rambo that’s another thing that GRINDS MY SHITER with films they always do this shit like guys JUST KEEP THE ORIGINAL TITLE!!!

First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III um…okay. Then Guess what?! RAMBO and the most recent film Rambo: Last Blood which I guess that makes sense since it’s the LAST which I heard bad things about it so hopefully it is the last lol

You guys should also check out this video this guy says it all :joy::

‘New Jack City’ I honestly remember seeing a trailer for this and saying"…Meh, that’s going to be garbage." And WOW! was I wrong! I remember having the tape of it and I poped it in and I LOVED it It just has this energy to it I can’t describe it Just everything flows right not only that but I really love Wesley Snipes(loved him in Blade) I normally don’t like crime movies with me, it’s normally like a hit or miss. 9/10

‘Blade’
A guy that is a badass killing Vampires, that’s all you need to know! 9/10. I own this on VHS also =)

‘Blade 2’
The 1st Film was already good! Never knew that they could out do the 1st movie! also the music is fucking badass too!!! 11 OUT OF FUCKING 10 (not a
mistype this movie is so FUCKING BADASS it broke my scaling system!)

As for the other Blade movies I thinks they eventually went downhill… Unfortunately like every long film series :sweat:.

(COUGH COUGH David, David’s, David 3, David: Resurrection so on and so forth…God damn David’s)

Oh Why Ridley Scott :sob::disappointed_relieved:

Since those are vampire movies another good one is

‘Underworld’
All I can say is… BLACK LEATHER :metal::metal: 10/10 this is another film series that eventually went downhill The first one was actually good. Kate Beckinsale as Selene is fucking badass and sexy :wink: and and my other favorite character is Raz played by Kevin Grevioux That man has a inhumanly grizzly DEEP voice.

‘Underworld: Rise of the Lycans’
Which takes place in the past before the 1st film I believe If I’m not mistaken this is the only good underworlds next to the original 2 I’m not sure I think it was okay I could be wrong though But the last film I heard is when they when WAYY off Which this movie I guess it’s okay that it’s not called Underworld 3 since this takes place in the past but, that’s all I’m going to say of about that I already explained my frustration with movie titles sometimes. 9/10

‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula’
Great movie! I watched the commentary of this filmThey didn’t have a big enough budget but they were very creative on the effects… which if I remember correctly the director said his son did the visual effects

with the armor design and the blood, to me this was a little boring at parts and I wanted more of the main character exploring through Dracula’s castle maybe scenes when he’s going in circles in hallways losing his mind, and ghosts haunt the place tormenting him which

we ONLY get 1 scene of him exploring which made me mad, and this Dracula I thought was done perfectly! played by Gary Oldman All of his scenes liked the most. When he’s talking his shadow is moving differently than what he’s moving I thought that was very creative and supernatural easily my #1 favorite movie of Dracula (so far) I haven’t seen all the other shit olds they pumped out! 8/10

And I have seen the original 1931 that was good and it is a classic! 7/10 I still own it on VHS But not my favorite. Which was already recommend by the amazing Man himself Timothy.

I have seen Frankenstein but The only film I’ve seen was Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein ( 1994) which I fucked hated that It was just really sad and fucked up.

Since I mentioned a movie with Bruce Willis here are some other ones I’ve seen that are pretty good that he’s in:

‘Pulp fiction’
It’s directed by the legend of self Quentin Tarantino he’s movies are great! Not only that but Samuel L. Jackson is in it too! I fucking love that actor. 10/10

‘The Jackal’
This film he plays a dangerous assassin! And the legend himself Jack Black is in this! I mean come on who doesn’t like the song ‘The Metal’ by Tenacious D🤘! 8/10

As for Die Hard believe it, or not I haven’t seen any of them, nor Sin City they also made a sequel but I don’t know how that film is, and unbreakable I can’t remember but they did eventually do a sequel to that that movie Called ‘Glass’ somebody correct me if I’m wrong but it already came out I think, and ‘Armageddon’ I have seen I don’t like the movie…I still Own it on VHS (unfortunately I have two copies lol) but that 1 was like a 2/10 for me…You guys should watch this small little clip from the commentary Ben Affleck was in it and it was fucking hilarious :joy::

Since I mentioned Quentin Tarantino here are some films I’ve seen that were masterpieces:

‘Django Unchained’
If you love western movies you’re going to like this one! 10/10

‘The Hateful Eight’
Another great western. 9/10

‘Kill Bill: Vol.1’
BADASSERY! 9/10

‘Kill Bill: Vol. 2’
I think was a 8 or 10/10 I have to go back and watch.

‘Inglourious Basterds’
Which is about a especially trained unit of Jewish guys wanting nothing more to scalp Nazis? I don’t know it been awhile since I saw this one. I did remember giving it a 9/10

From Dusk till Dawn I heard is another good 1 but I never seen the film I only remember that small clip I found of that sexy dancer played by Salma Hayek I have a huge crush on😜 And then they made the sequel I don’t know if that one was good or not.

Bc5282b2df89363d02239674e156c214

Done with Quentin Tarantino. Now some Rob zombie movies…to be honest I really don’t like this guy his movies are hit and miss to me, his style is just little too much for me at sometimes lol But without a doubt the best I’ve seen is:

'House Of 1000 Corpses"
This Honestly took me by surprise also Sid Haig as the clown is fucking amazing! 9/10.

‘The Devil’s Rejects’
This is a sequel to ‘House Of Thousand Corpses’ Which You don’t have to watch the first film to watch this, not only that but it’s a completely different movie anyways, and the most recent film 3 from Hell which is the 3rd

movie out of the franchise I heard it was good but not as great as the first 2 films I haven’t seen that movie yet I also seen ‘The Lords Of Salem’ Which started off good And then it just fell apart also Rob loves putting his wife in movies and showing her ass crack like WHY??!!!? Like it’s that his secret fetish or something?!

But in Lords of Salem she shows FULL ASS Like there are these pointless scenes when like she’s sleeping And she has her pants pulled halfway down exposing her butt cheeks WHO SLEEPS LIKE THAT?! And there’s ‘31’ Which is basically about people who are captured

and now have to play this game to survive…kind of like saw except for there’s crazy people running around killing them, OH And I also seen Halloween which I did not like that one It was just boring, I never remember liking the original But I would rather watch that or the shitty sequels, pre-sequels that they went on to make. 8/10

‘GhostBusters’
OH, yes who can forget about the legendary Ghostbusters😊 another 1 of my favorites and also the theme song is so catchy!
9/10

…2016 DOESN’T EXIST lol

‘Ghostbusters 2’
I think this had more funny jokes than the 1st which gives it that extra point Peter MacNicol that plays Dr. Poha and REALLY reminds me of a Zoolander character, and definitely Rick Moranis that plays Louis which they give him more screen time in this film it feels like which I liked a lot. 10/10

‘Harry Potter’ (Last 4 films)

‘Harry Potter Order Of The Phoenix’ (5th film) 8/10

‘Harry Potter Half-Blood Prince’ (6th film) 9/10
This is my favorite one out of all of them mainly because we finally get to see Dumbledore do some cool wizard stuff That part when he’s waving his wand and fire starts to come out all over the place really reminded me of Captain Yamamoto from Bleach (That show is coming back by the way, I’m so excited! now all we need is Berserk to come back in 2D animation) that scene was so BADASS!

‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Part I’ (7th film) 7/10 (which is just a build-up to part two So not much really happens in this one but still good)

‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2’ (8th film) 8/10

The thing that bugs me the most about the Harry Potter franchise is seems like Hermione, and Ron always are getting into fights when it seems like they shouldn’t be when in The later films they’re like 18 years old and there supposed to be close friends It just got annoying I was just getting tired of that conflict all the time In Half Blood Prince Hermione FUCKIMG KILLS BIRDS!!! IM

NOT SHITTING U! She somehow casted a spell on these innocent little birds and she chucks the poor little things at Ron and then THEY FUCKING EXPLODE! Like JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HERMIONE!!! So what Ron doesn’t like you! Leave him alone! Don’t kill him over it! ESPECIALLY DON’T KILL THE BIRDS!

‘Willy Wonka & The chocolate factory’
10/10 a classic! I really loved the oompa loompas! its sooo good. UNLIKE the Tim Burton version!:rage: (Which doesn’t exist)

‘Coraline’
Which is another good one that I saw someone else recommended on here, what’s the ending made it seem like they were going to make another one which has been a couple of years now I still hope they do maybe get Tim Burton on it. 10/10

‘Alice in wonderland’
Now I know there are A LOT of versions so I’m going to just say the films I recommend that are pretty good, also WHY was this a BITCH to find! I guess because it originally was filmed in France. The cast is actually from Britain at least that’s what Google says, so the original name for this

is : Alice Au Pays Des Merveilles or you can just look up Alice 1949 and it still pops up, which I know the Google translation can be off at times so if anybody knows how to actually say it let me know. The reviews on this film is mixed which I don’t understand why this in my opinion is it really good Alice in wonderland movie. 10/10

‘Alice In wonderland’ (cartoon)
A great version to show the kids! 10/10 There’s also Dream child… which by looking at the picture it doesn’t look like a Alice movie at all Just looks like a random generic drama movie it’s AFUL that shit is a fucking

2/10 so don’t see it, It’s basically about a old lady who moves to New York and is haunted by the past also there’s this really dark freak y relationship thing that her teacher likes her And then at the end of the movie she was thinking him for whatever reason…it’s like WHAT?! None of it made any sense which this version is supposed to be like a little creepy version of Alice in

wonderland I only liked one scene and That’s when the phone was ringing And then she got in the argument with the rabbit and the mad hatter and shit got freaky fast also the design on the wonderland characters were

pretty good My favorite being the big bird at the beginning or whatever it is, think there’s even more cartoons of Alice I haven’t seen them I know there’s 1 from 1951 If I’m not mistaken.

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0254076/

And I’m also going to recommend the other Alice movie that came out in 1988:

‘Alice’ 10/10

Directed by Jan Švankmajer which is Alice in wonderland but a more twisted version I really do want a horror version of Alice in wonderland though I think that will be AMAZING Which we did get that later in video games like ‘American McGee’s Alice’ (2000) and then later they made a sequel called ‘Alice Madness Returns’ (2011) which I especially love the last one, I

was looking at Jan’s film background and he has a lot of interesting movies I want checking out to check out! Oh yeah and there was also a other Alice movie movie But it was completely different It felt like one of those cheesy B movies that someone made with their phone It used to be on crackle it’s not there no more, but overall
Jan Švankmajer’s Alice (1988) is a masterpiece! There’s no music in it But there’s this

gentlemen named: Aidan Halm who uploaded the movie and added his own musical score for the film and I thought he did a

fantastic job! I honestly thought it was in the film but I didn’t find out until later that the original version doesn’t have music. But close to the end I did feel like the music was a bit too loud and you couldn’t hear anything what they were saying When Alice was in the courtroom but other than that he did a fantastic job I’ll leave his version here:

‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ 8/10

‘A Clockwork Orange’ 10/10
Another instant classic!
I’m shocked nobody else said this lol! And who can forget that intro with that intense zoom on Alex

The ending of it reminded me of Kill List. Have you seen that? If not, I highly recommend it. Fantastic movie.
