what are some good movies to watch

Serendipity (2001)

During a lifetime, each of us pass a unique opportunity to find our happiness. The truth is that many people don't realize that and move on, living the rest of their life with regret of not having fulfilled their destiny. For most people this is true, but each of them has a dream that can be a little naive, but their soul resonates. In a few cases, after a moment of lucidity (some might call it luck) or perseverance, dreams fail to turn into reality, but most people feel that living an unfulfilled and missed life despite the apparent wealth or success which have part.

The film is beautiful, full of romance, love is in the air even in realistic sequences. Exaggeration of rigor is present, even some anachronisms, but this time I won't reveal it just to let viewers enjoy the movie. Even if the story seems improbable, and the actors are hand-picked (Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack), the idea of ​​existence of predestined souls remains valid. In such interaction divine magic turns dreams into reality.

I obviously watched a different Serendipity as there is nothing remotely "realistic" about it and that is sort of the entire point.

Anyway as always nice copy/paste/translation from some foreign site. Personally I could sum the film up in one easy sentence...If you like Beckinsale then you'll endure the inherent stupidity,otherwise the movie is basically an insult to true romance and sucks monkey balls*.


*Not in a good way but still better than EDM.

Did anyone watch Sex Tape? Is it worth watching?

No and no.

http://www.metacritic.com/movie/sex-tape

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sex_tape_2014/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1956620/

Also when did the Puritans take over IMDB and start giving out these grossly inflated sex and nudity scores? Like 8/10 for stuff you can see on network TV? In that case someone needs to change the rating for last Tango in Paris to 143/10.

The Equalizer with Danzel Washington that was released some weeks ago is rather good, can advice to watch it. there are already some streaming links here, but the quality is rather bad. Wait some weeks to get better quality streams.

My Way is a barrage on the senses, as well as a compelling story of perseverance. Turn the surround sound up, and enjoy!

Let me guess, you were born 9 months after your father began working at Roswell. :whistling

Another three war movies that have largely gone under the radar that I recommend (although they aren't that recent ) are:

Saints and Soldiers http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373283 a story about the Malmedy massacre told through the eyes of a small group of soldiers separated from the rest of the troops during the battle.

When Trumpets Fade http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0135706 A story about the largely forgotten and long hard slog by allied forces through the Harz Mountains with extremely high casualties. Forgotten because soon after the battle was complete (I wouldn't say won with the amount of attrition involved) the Battle of the Bulge occurred and erased all memory of this long hard slog from the collective mind. This movie features a truly riveting performance by Ron Eldard.

Hart's War http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251114 About a P.O.W. camp at the end of W.W. II. American officers are decrying their German captors for treating the Russian prisoners the 'untermenschen' as less than human. Then two Tuskegee airmen a pair black officers are assigned to the camp. A very interesting counterpoint on racism and a there is a good old fashioned whodunnit in the mix as well, starring Colin Farrell and Bruce Willis in an unusual role.

None are particularly 'happy' films, but they are poignant, and well worth the watch.

Inception
Rounders
good will hunting

The Terminal
Donnie Brasco
The fault in our stars

Snowbound: The Jim and Jennifer Stolpa Story


The movie is very interesting but I don't understand why the story is presented as "incredibly brave" but not as a demonstration of stupidity, irresponsibility and their results to warn others.

Because never giving up even in the face of the seemingly inevitable is seen is courageous,twat.
Circumstance more than anything else is what creates heroes.

Something's Gotta Give

Just watched Starship troopers again after a long time. Can't decided if it's good or bad or so bad it's good :3.

The Damned United.

Not recommended to americans who hates soccer.

What about Namibians who hate soccer? Is it OK for them?

To clarify: We don't so much hate soccer- just the people who watch it. And especially those who get excited about it.

Watched The Equalizer and Gone Girl and both movies are amazing, can only advice

I like Denzel Washington,the genre and the source material but even I know The Equalizer sucks walnuts.
Gone Girl I guess is OK if you're into being depressed by what humanity is capable of and which apparently you are.

Well done, well done, torrentus! For you persistence in facing no new obstacles of your own, I proudly award you the much-competed-for award of Least Original Thinker on FST.

Well, done...

If I'm bored I download a movie from the IMDb top 250. Most often it surprises me in terms of being timeless.

Interstellar is awesome movie and surely can pretend to be the best movie 2014

"Lone Survivor"

This seems more than a bit disingenuous. :ermm:

The Godfather trilogy
Starwars 4,5,6 (the prequels suck)
Scarface
The three newest Batman movies. :whistling

If you're into time travel movies at all I would definitely recommend Primer. It was made on a small budget but it is very well done and one of the more interesting takes on going back and trying to fix mistakes.

Gone Girl is pretty good. If you're looking for some classics, I enjoyed The Indiana Jones films and Alien film over the holidays.

Le Havre

Last movies I watched worth recommending is: Lone Girl, Grand Budapest Hotel.

Lucy

You are entitled to your opinion, but you are 0/3.

Since I'm more inclined to take advice from people who I know or trust I have never had the desire to see either Lucy(Usual nonsensical Luc Besson combination of Sci-Fi and action that makes you dumber by just watching it) or Interstellar(Despite generally good reviews people stayed away in droves.It might be the interminable run time but the lack domestic box office speaks volumes as to how entertaining it is.Seriously any movie that needs explaining isn't worth seeing).

I have seen The Road and for a quote you can use on the DUD cover I'd go with "This Road is very bleak and leads nowhere".:)

The screener leaked yesterday. 2 1/4 hours with about 5 memorable, active, exciting parts. So, about 15 minutes of actual entertainment. :pinch:

Metaphor for your life, then. :idunno:

The Imitation Game is worth a peek if you are into the history of computers.

definitely watch interstellar or prometheus, yep im a bit of a geek lol, any on the christopher nolan movies are well worth a viewing, like inception etc, his movies are very layered and intricate you may have to watch a few times to get the understanding of the movie!

The imitation game is great.

Prometheus sucked balls and not in a good way like your Mom.

What sucked most about Prometheus was that there was potential there for an awesome backstory. Instead, viewers were left with, "WTF did I just watch and how does that tie into the other movies I actually enjoyed?!?!?"

Interstellar was just Nolan cashing in on his name.

It felt like 6 hours. Maybe I was sitting too close to the tv.
