Recommend A Movie Thread

[motaco]

If any of you have "on demand" with your cable services HBO documentaries has one up called Marjah, or battle for Marjah. Its a Ben Anderson film.

I liked it much better than restrepo. Its one of the best Afghanistan war films I've ever seen, and is very current.

RIP to that little foul mouthed fella.

Id highly recommend Adam Curtis documentarys, all from the BBC originally, The Power of Nightmares, Century of the Self, Pandora's Box etc.
Adam Curtis is probably the most important living documentary maker in Britain currently.
Also, id highly recommend his bloghttp://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/Truely a work of genius, the BBC seem to give him pretty much unrestricted access to the archives, some of his selections are very illuminating.

Cool man...checked them out, looked interesting and highly rated so added to my queue.

An oldie but my personal fave "family" type movie is "The Court Jester", starring Danny Kaye.

Oddly cerebral, very fast, witty dialogue - Kaye is a wonderful physical comedian.

Has the old bag from "Murder She Wrote", but she's actually really young (and kinda hot).

"The flagon with the dragon has the pellet with the poison, the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true"...

AND - Basil Rathbone is the villain...

Yeah adam curtis docs are awesome.

Its his personal opinion mind you, but its very interesting and well put together.

Mr. Nice - the Howard Marks bio pic was pretty good...

Watched Bully last night pretty good movie, some teens always getting bullied around by this "better than you" fella and they kill him (true story).

I just got done watch this epic trilogy on netflix called "carlos". Definitely worth checking out.

Dr. Strangelove and Failsafe.
Both bizarre movies dealing with the cold war.
To watch Slim Pickens at the end wave his cowboy hat in the air has he rides the nuke falling to Russia is classic. Classic American mentality back then towards the Ruskies.

I was an extra on one of Slim's films in the 70's, "The Legend of Earl Durand". He had a scene where he's driving a motorcycle down a dirt road (bike mounted on a trailer). Slim was so drunk they had to tie his hands to the handlebars!

Slim was a good actor. Never got the recognition he deserved.

'Four Rooms'

eclectic as a mofo w/a great soundtrack
by Combustible Edison ~ suave & sybaritic.

Despicable Me (2010)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1323594/

I just saw "Kick-Ass" last night. I was thoroughly entertained. A rated R comedy superhero movie. Funny to see a badass 11 yr old superhero girl with a mouth like a truck driver shooting and stabbing people. I wouldn't fuck with her. She's like a little f'in blue haired ninja.

Don't know if this one has already been said but if you like rasta moviez you can watch "Rockers" with leroy Horsemouth and plenty of famous "old" reggae artists...

 

[HenriettaHippo]

I dunno... Took the kids to see "Gnomeo and Juliet". Was funny, cute and for Shakespeare It was not nine hours long and all tragic and shit....

 

[motaco]

never saw the rockers yet but I watched Jimmy Cliff in "the harder they come" (no its not a porn!) and its a great movie.

Great soundtrack too, its one of the things that paved the way for bob marley in america.

Just now checking to see if I got the title right I think I saw the whole movie on veoh free.
