Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

[mronegative]

I feel you bro

I resent this statement. Especially the action part

Sorry*

*...for mainstream America cinema.

 

[mronegative]

I'm torn between two choices and I don't think either will make it back to me.... but I'll take the chance that my other choice might still be there.

For my 4th pick, I'm going back to the well as this was a previous pick for the best director for me. I"m trying to diversify my director choices but I have to pick another Spielberg... if Saving Private Ryan showcased the horrors of the warfront and human element of the soldiers, this choice shows the other horror of WWII and does so in an honest, dramatic, and brutal touch that only Spielberg could do. Masterfully shot, wonderfully acted by Neeson, Fiennes, and Kingsley, it's one of the most emotionally draining and dramatic movies I've seen.

Schindler's List, Drama.

Oooo...life moves in circles

t's kinda what happened to me when I watched it again last year. A lot of scenes, you can just kinda take in the artistry and the creativity. But then there are those scenes, that aren't even just depressing and profound...they're those, 'you can't come back from this' scene. With Lord of the Rings, that first time you see an army the movie levels you...you're amazed in a good way. The first time you see a village worth of naked families walking towards...those are you can't come back from this moments. Movies like Hostel, are what they are...but this. They don't have to exaggerate, because enough of the trauma happens inside of you. I couldn't watch Schindler's again this year or next. It's everyone. It's the humiliation...it's the old people that hurt me. That's too much to want to experience again.

Still stand by all that ?

What's your criteria for picking?
Genres you need to fill?

To me the guardrails are just to expand your options and highlight blindspots. Every genre is high-key represented. More would be nice, but just line up your values.

For me, I'm just trying to pick only movies I absolutely love, weighing out how likely they'll get picked before me vs. how much they represent all of cinema to me.

What is it? 168 gonna get picked?

We leaving out classics no matter WHAT!

The culmination to the greatest trilogy ever put on the silver screen.

Literal visual perfection. 11 Oscar nominations. 11 Oscar statues.

For my 4th pick, I select...

LOTR: Return of the King (Action)

Master Zik tap in.

I have every genre covered with a movie I love or that impacted me deeply or just stays with me to this day. However there are a few of those in the same genre.

If we had mystery, war films (similat to western being its own thing), adventure or fantasy I'd be able to fit more.

Honestly I'd be good with 6 more utility picks My fav genres are sci-fi and thrillers and the way things are going I'm not gonna have Hitchcock or Tarantino when this ends let alone Scorsese.

I'm sure you can still grab Kundun or Last Temptation of Christ in a round or so

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Same boat Zik

crazy how so many Scorsese are GOATs

 

[Master Zik]

The 4th round selection for the Master Zik consortium is a thriller with no equal. A truly menacing film that still sends a shiver down my spine when I think of it.

This swarmy ruthless ************ is a threat

Robert Mitchum, way worse of a villain than his chilling role in The Night of the Hunter. This sick **** terrorizing an entire family just cuz the father did his job and put his rapist *** in prison.

Dude is just so off putting

OG Cape Fear

mmm I get that. See my favorite is comedy. My list for comedy was as long as all the others combined, cuz the classics overflowed. So I picked the movie that taught me something could be for everyone AND just for me.

I remember watching it as a kid with the fam on TV, then watching the uncut VHS (my parents accidentally bought, then hid) at 1 in the morning in the living room . It made me realize, if it's real funny, it'll never ever get old. And you can tell your people people by what they find funny.

So for me...I needed that one. I want the rest, but all of the rest are inside of that one in a way.

So just think, what movie(s) made you fall in love with the genre, personally.

 

[Master Zik]

I will be choosing neither Barely remember Kundun. Don't think I'll be slotting in LToC.

jrp44 you up

getback on deck twice

Only bringing those two up cause theres no chance they will be drafted

and speaking of another that won't be

Age of Innocence is a pretty underrated Scorsese and in my top tier of his films. It would have been my Romantic pick if CP allowed that genre.

DDL and Ryder are so great in it

I love comedy but be in a fog for a go to list. When you chose C2A I was like how did that not come to mind sooner

That's what I'm trying to do but it's a struggle.

Oh I know why

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Two classic Hitchcock’s, vintage Tarantino and Scorsese’s. Come see me.
Casino is probably my least enjoyable of the crime movies of his though. Had my man Robert De Niro looking a huge simp and sucker.

 

[jrp44]

Damn I lost Psycho, Inglorious Bastards, Matrix, Schindler's List, and The Exorcist. Legit was gonna take one of them this pick

Might be a reach here, but I highly doubt it will make it back around to me after the next round, and who knows what get back is gonna roll with....

My 4th round pick is the GOAT Christmas movie, but since that's not a category, I guess I'll slot it under Action

getback up twice

C CP1708 petition to have Christmas movies added as a category. I’m sure you have one or two in your top 550

 

[getback]

Children of Men (Science Fiction)

Mad Max: Fury Road (Action)

 

[lawdog1]

Fury Road made post-apocalyptic vehicular warfare so damn beautiful...

 

[Master Zik]

Great movie. im tight there was movies of a Furiosa movie that never panned out. Seems like it wont happen at all now.

Ain't really supporting Miller like they should.

jrp44 go ahead

 

[jrp44]

I need 1 QT movie on my roster,

Django- Western

You're up Master Zik

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Die Hard is great but not my favorite of the series.
