TV/Movies Megathread

[sbr]

I'm a bit behind the times, like I need a half dozen  classic film recommendations for every year of the last 20 years or so.   

Here's a few more:

Jurassic Park  - Yes
Toy Story - Yes
Dogma
Death Becomes Her - Yes
Glengarry Glen Ross
Groundhog Day - Yes
The Professsional (AKA Leon)
The Ref - Yes
The Shawshank Redemption - Yes
12 Monkeys - Yes
As Good As It Gets - Yes
The Green Mile - Yes
The Whole Nine Yards - Yes

Ooh, I like this list.

Been ages since I've seen it, but Death Becomes Her is, iirc, a really neat movie.  Another Zemeckis classic.

[Ed Anger]

Django off a screener disc. Big Fucking deal.

5 I don't give a fucks out of 5.

[The Brain]

I haven't seen any post-PF Tarantino movie.

Just saw The Iron Lady.  Not a good movie.

Young bucktoofed Margaret gave me a woodie though.

I like Mark Kermode and I expect he's pretty right about the second Sex and the City movie, which I've heard pushes the materialism of the show to 11.  The show was actually pretty decent--the key to enjoying it is to remember that they're all faintly horrid and will be among the first to be put up against a wall when the revolution comes--and I'd not be averse to watching the first film, since that caps off the show and Carrie finally gets married, etc.  But everything I've heard about the second suggests it is one of the worst, most inwardly rotten films ever made.

Btw, did I see Eddie Teach say that you should only see American Beauty once?  Wrong.

[Eddie Teach]

You did not.

Spartacus tonight, for Canadians.  Don't forget your PVR

[Eddie Teach]

Have seen all the movies in dps and scipio's lists except the two Jackie Brown sequels. 

Well, not 100% sure about The Ref.
