Right, I'm kind of wanting to watch some films but i don't want to have to sift through tons of websites to find list's of films that may or may not be good. So any interesting ideas? as long as it's good I'm in, anything goes... well except slasher/torcher films (aka, scream,saw,hostel,etc).

read the last page and backward of 'last movie you watched' and take recommendations!? i'm not being a dick, it's just since you want any good movies except slashers then i don't see why make another topic.

interesting movies is really vague. what sorts of movies do you like?

silence of the lambs

OK more specific, well obscure films that don't get particularly big but are interesting,fun to watch, like the dark city, old man of earth or Zerophiliac.

ahahahahahahahaha

on a serious note: primer. i can't think of any other decent movies that weren't that big but that's a really strange qualifier, there's undoubtedly a slew of movies that were big and great that were before your time.

ah ok that works too, but not too old, hmm sort of ground hog day or pulp fiction sort of erra is max if you get what i'm on about?

I think you should consider watching old movies, too. I am watching the original series of the twilight zone just now. It's not a movie but it was one of those things I ruled out in my head (that tv is mostly bad anyway and gets worst the older it gets), and I was wrong to do that because The Twilight Zone is actually pretty great so far. I have only watched some random episodes from the first series but even the very first episode was great - probably the best so far - and it really creeped me out, too, which is what I was hoping for.

The Twilight Zone is just my current example but movies were interesting back then. I suppose I understand you not being interested because it took me a long time to be open to black and white stuff as well but I got over it a few years ago and I've enjoyed quite alot of it. Also, I want to make films and I get some use and knowledge out of watching old stuff, but that might not be relevant to you. Some of these old things are pretty wacky, and just as inventive as the films that come out nowadays. Especially if you watch things made outside of hollywood, which is true in every time.

I'll tell you about a movie I used to really like just now. I haven't watched it in a while so I can't be sure how well made it is, although I remember it being very good, but the subject of it is definitely really interesting.

Parts of it are really depressing. I used to be obsessed with idea of living underground, which is how I found this movie, but this isn't about some intentional underground community or whatever, it's a documentary about a bunch of homeless people who found the abandoned subway tunnels in New York and started living there because it was quiet and they could have their own space.

Some english guy (Marc Singer) came over to new york and wanted to make a film about this so he rented out some equipment and went down to the tunnels and stayed with them for either a few weeks or months (i can't remember), and just filmed various things that happened. There is a narrative which emerges in it, but it's incidental to the filming.

I couldn't find a trailer quickly, but here is a youtube clip of the first ten minutes. It gives you an idea of the film.


There is probably alot to say about this but I just can't remember it as well as I'd like to talk about it. I think I might watch it again.

yeah man, not too long ago i watched all of "the prisoner" which is another tv series and it was pretty great. i think leon the professional is one of the best movies i never heard of, it's very sleak and natilie portman plays a really hot role (this is a joke, she plays a 9 year old or something).

also a lot of the 'great' hollywood movies really aren't that great. you may be better off getting something you've heard very little about than something you've heard you really should watch

saw it, own the DVD and i liked it, sad ending but will watch in the future.

on a serious note: primer.

seconding this. primer is a great movie.

ah ok that works too, but not too old, hmm sort of ground hog day or pulp fiction sort of erra is max if you get what i'm on about?

you're limiting this to the point where you shouldn't even really bother. being open to old movies doesn't automatically mean archaic shit like birth of a nation. the really interesting movies, regardless of when they came out, are usually the ones where they didn't have a huge budget or some tremendous production scale and had to be clever about the way they present the story. that's where the good performances are, and the intelligent film-making methods are, because they had to earn every inch of effectiveness they had rather than throw garbage special effects or marquee film stars at you and call it entertaining storytelling.

if it's just the bullshit glitz and glamor you're looking for(which is all the 80s and onward had going for it), just stumble into a movie theatre and pick at random the first movie you see. there's not otherwise a whole lot of point in trying to be selective of the movies you watch if you're just going to limit the ones you watch to some arbitrary time period.

no, i don't want that, i just don't want  old black and white movies there not all bad, I'm just not interested in them.

EDIT: ill get Primer.

if you're unable to look beyond the fact that some movies are black and white, you probably shouldn't bother watching primer. it'll be too complicated for you.

Bite me, I'm sorry if i don't enjoy something that you enjoy, it might be because of some shallow reason as it being black and white but that's just me, i like watching movies in colour and so find black and white boring to watch, but for the record i never once said that black and white movies were bad, i was just trying to come up with something better then simply "i don't want to watch black and white movies because there not in colour". I'm sure there are MANY good black and white movies, I'm just not interested in watching them. yes, i agree it's for a shallow reason but that's just me.

p.s. i have no real problem with watching them, it's just I'd rather watch a colour film, i mean i liked Schindler's list for example, or singing in the rain and even the original... huh can't remember it's name, just a film about a man that was constantly shrinking, getting smaller and smaller and smaller and... till he gets out of existence.

Bite me, i'm sorry if i don't enjoy somthing that you enjoy, it might be becuase of some shallow reason as it being black and white but that's just me, i like watching movies in colour and so find black and white boring to watch, but for the record i never once said that black and white movies were bad, i was just trying to come up with somthing better then simply "i don't want to watch black and white movies beucase there not in colour". i'm sure there are MANY good black and white movies, i'm just not interested in watching them. yes, i agree it's for a shallow reason but that's just me.

my statement still stands. primer is a pretty complicated movie, a whole lot more complicated than OH GOSH WHERE IS THE COLOR. if you get distracted by something so phenomenally basic, primer is way too advanced for you.

maybe you would like to try the harry potter movies instead?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097523/

no that's not it also seen it was an OK film, but not that great.

Hundly, i don't care if you think that, and for the record, the harry potter movies are OK (books are better), but ultimately would have been done better if filmed by Tim Burton (i like his films, a lot).

and I'm sorry but just because i don't like to watch black and white films doesn't mean anything towards me and my ability to comprehend something and frankly i find what your insinuating a tad insulting, a tad because i don't care that much for your opinion since you seam to disregard mine.

EDIT: you know what, i really don't want to get into an argument over something stupid so whatever i don't care what you think. for the record i would watch a B&W film if it were interesting, it's just in this instance I'm not interested in them.

Death at a funeral

I loved this movie and it was interesting too.

edit

Omg apparently april of this year their coming out with a remake but "Americanized" with martin lawrence dany glover luke wilson chris rock zoe saldana and some other "funny" people.

They are justifying this remake by having Peter Dinklage play the role of Peter again. and of course, I am going to end up watching this movie
