Title: Movies that blew you away
Post by: Kuhns on January 31, 2010, 02:18:03 AM
Just one (at a time) and tell us why...without revealing too much to someone who might go and see it.

A recent movie that blew me away was: The Book of Eli. I tried to guess it before it happened but that damn movie still beat me up and made me like it. :P I'll probably go see this again soon.

2001: A Space Odyssey

I just watched it almost a year ago.

No words. Can describe. It's just.


No words.


I literally was drooling all over, sinking in my couch.

Sling Blade

After seeing Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa and the Bad News Bears, my impression of him was a pretty good actor, but probably only for parts of grumpy middle-aged men.

But after seeing Sling Blade,

Man...

That man can seriously write some sick crap and back it up with his acting.

Sling Blade is a must see.

Recently, it had to be Avatar. Though it was slow for the first 45 minutes, the last 2 hours just totally gave me goosebumps. In a excitment way. Also, Pearl Harbor. I've watched this movie 5 times(most I've ever watched a movie) and still can't get bored watchin it.

I absolutely loved Shawshank Redemption. It's a sad-ish movie, but it was so well made. And the plot twist was incredible.

I also really loved the remake of The Count of Monte Cristo. Also a kind of sad-ish movie. From the very beginning, the movie makes you love the main character. They take the entire movie in the direction you want. It's a bit predictable, but I'd watch it a thousand times.

The basketball diaries. A young Leonardo diCaprio playing a punk who get hooked on heroin. I lost a close friend of mine to heroin addiction and movies about that hit very close to home for me. Not to mention some very good acting. and it features Mark Wahlburg.

American Beauty (Another heavy one, but beautiful and thought-provoking)
Yes Man (Inspiring. Believe it!)

Drag Me To Hell was the most realistic depiction of demonic activity to ever hit the big screen. Love that movie.

Also, has anyone here ever watched a movie called The Monster (Home Sweet Home)? It's billed as a horror movie, but it's so much deeper than that. It's actually quite sad.

The truman Show is an incredible movie, I definitely agree.

I would have to say that the Departed is my favorite movie. John Q was a very touching performance by Denzel and Inside Man is simply a heist that I would like to pull. (Enchanted is secretly one of my top movies, shhh...)

I absolutely love this movie. It's funny and inspiring. I could watch it a thousand times and never get bored of it.

Also, Gran Torino is a great movie. Clint Eastwood was phenomenal in it. I can't really describe how it's so good, but it is.

Post by: chocobo on April 17, 2010, 03:41:04 AM
I've got a giant list as I'm a pretty big movie fanatic.

Catch Me if You Can (one of the best films I've ever seen. The cinematography was gorgeous. The acting was superb, but that was to be expected with the cast involved. There was good character development and dialogue. Just all across the board an excellent film.)

Casablanca (Obviously one of the best films ever made. It's topped charts since the 40s. It's given us so many catchphrases and won almost anyone who's seen it over. An excellent plot that really played out beautifully. So many great techniques were used to film it. From the clothing color to the use of glassware to express major themes and important issues in the film was brilliant. I can still watch this film over and over again and never tire of it.)

UP (I'm a huge fan of animated films and a giant fan of Pixar. I had no doubts this was going to be a great film, but it blew me away with how much better it was than my original expectations. There isn't much I can say about it other than it's in my opinion the best film Pixar has made since Toy Story.)

Walk the Line (The Johnny Cash biopic. First time I saw the movie I didn't pay attention to it. I was on a date, the girl was more important, and I wasn't even a Johnny Cash fan. Fast forward a few years after becoming a Cash fan. I gave the movie another chance and loved it. Beautifully shot, a beautiful progression of his story, and good jesus Joaquin Phoenix nailed his role so WELL. There were times when I forgot I was listening to JP and was convinced I was listening JC. Amazing.)

My last praise goes out to not a single movie, but to a Director, Animator, and Co-owner of Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki.
There isn't a single film this man has come out with that I was disappointed in. He is an absolute genius. Whether it's story telling, animating, directing, whatever. This man is my God. Some of his films include: Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, and My Neighbor Totoro.

Honorable mentions: Moulin Rouge, Inglorious Basterds, Space Jam, and The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

I really liked the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. They were done incredibly, and were really long, so all of the story could be fit in. I mainly watched it for the battle scenes though, because they are EPIC! I especially love how Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli just plow through the orcs and have a contest of who can kill the most in the middle of a battle. Plus, Gimli is hilarious.
When they battle the Warg Riders, Gimli and Legolas see who gets the most kills...
Gimli: I got 17! Beat that, pointy ears!
Legolas:... (Draws bow and shoots the orc Gimli is sitting on) 17. He was twitching.
Gimli: Well maybe thats cause I've got my axe buried in his nervous system!! (Shakes axe up and down, causing the orc to move.)

Probobly the funniest parts in the movies, but you'd have to see it for it you actually make you laugh.

I think they should make a movie from these books, they would be awesome and would probobly be my favorite movies:
-The Ranger's Apprentice Series (Great Books, Great action sequences, Great story)
-Ender's Game (They were going to make one, but they gave up...)

all these different people get put in this giant cube with over 17,000 rooms and most of them have very deadly and dangerous traps. none of the people know why they are there or ever where "there is". there is only one way to escape alive. They have to each put their unique skills together to over come every obstacle if they want to stay alive.

Just one (at a time) and tell us why...without revealing too much to someone who might go and see it.

A recent movie that blew me away was: The Book of Eli. I tried to guess it before it happened but that damn movie still beat me up and made me like it. :P I'll probably go see this again soon.

When i saw this film i honestly didnt see his...lets call it aspect due to spoilers coming. I dont know why cos it should have been obvious but i think the way the movie was done was so amazing. An epic movie all the way and then ending on one moment that makes you go WTF MAN i did not see that coming...was cool though :D

So yes I liked the book of eli
