Shotgun 1 #4 February 18, 2010 Looking at my recent Netflix history, some of the movies that I gave 4 or 5 stars: Stranger than Fiction (Will Ferrell, but actually good) Star Trek (the most recent one) Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (about the Gong Show dude, strange story) A Face in the Crowd (oldie, recommended by quade) Days of Wine and Roses (old drama) Flying Down to Rio (old musical, with a really cool dancing-on-planes scene) Outsourced (cute comedy) Cherry Blossoms (German with subtitles, nice scenery) Interstate 60 (indie comedy) Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession (documentary) Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (old classic) Dr. Strangelove (no explanation needed) Delicatessen (French with subtitles, bizarre) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #5 February 18, 2010 If you haven't seen it yet the one thing that immediately pops to mind is Inglourious Basterds. A slightly different genre with similar structures and action might be some of the epic gangster films like; The Godfather Goodfellas Bonnie and Clyde Scarface Pulp Fiction Kill Bill Just as a general resource of great lists of films to browse; http://connect.afi.com/site/PageServer?pagename=100yearsListquade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #6 February 18, 2010 Speaking of gangster films, I recently watched Miller's Crossing, and I have to say that I didn't get it. But I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, and it keeps bugging me that maybe I missed something, so I think I'll have to watch it again soon. (Not sure if I'm recommending it or not.) Oh, and I agree with Inglourious Basterds. Fun movie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel the same way about a lot of the Coen Brother's films. They seem to focus on characters and mood and do incredible work there, but I sometimes think they don't feel their movies need endings and they just let them sort of wander.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #9 February 18, 2010 QuoteInglorious Bastards Knowing The Hurt Locker Law Abiding Citizen Hurt Locker; yes. Great suggestion. Don't know why I didn't think of it. Knowing?

I was hoping you were going to explain it to me, not agree with me. If nothing else, the movie was worth watching just for the scene of Leo with his Tommy gun.

Shotgun 1 #12 February 18, 2010 Quote Quote Damnit, Paul. I was hoping you were going to explain it to me, not agree with me. I'd have to revisit the film. It's not fresh in my mind at the moment. Well, I think that what you said about their movies pretty much summed it up - interesting characters and mood, but no real ending. I was completely engrossed while watching it, thinking "what a great movie"... but then it ended, and I just sat there thinking, "What???" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
