Movies You Can't Miss

[Slevs]

So, what are the movies you just can't miss? The movies you have to watch every time if they're on TV. For me, I can't miss any Godfather movie on TV, even though part 3 was shite.

Your parent's sex tapes don't count.

 

[Member 39557]

Die Hard.

And Slevs' parent's sex tapes.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Wrong forum?

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Die Hard.

And Slevs' parent's sex tapes.

Yes.

To both.

 

[Slevs]

Wrong forum?

It's a general chat rather than analyzing and rating films, but a mod can move it at their discretion I guess.

 

[Slevs]

Die Hard.

And Slevs' parent's sex tapes.

1,2,3 yes.

4 and 5 not so much.

 

[Member 39557]

1,2,3 yes.

4 and 5 not so much.

I didn't know they'd made so many, I'd imagine your parents were running out of ideas by parts 4 and 5?

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Well lets be honest, nobody wanted to see Slevs Parents 5: The Angry Pirate.

Some things you just can't unsee.

Another one is back to the future. Found myself tuning in for 10 minutes last night and watched it from start to finish.

 

[Waldner]

Troy.

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

Gladiator

 

[Sassy Colin]

Troy.

That was on the other day, not bad.

Gladiator

Was supposed to be the greatest film of all time but, for me, it turned out to be rubbish. It was probably spoilt for me because there was a series about gladiators on BBC which I had been watching & there were so many inaccuracies in the film as to make it pretty much unwatchable.

 

[Vato]

Go wash your mouth Colin! Gladiator is an awesome film.

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

I know what you mean Colin, but your assuming they tried to keep the historical accuracies, if you take it for what it is at face value, top film.

 

[Cina]

The Room.

 

[sammymc]

a matter of life and death
dead mans shoes

 

[Sassy Colin]

Of course if I got round to reading the Iliad, I would have probably switched off Troy after 10 minutes.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Troy.

That was on the other day, not bad.

Yeah I watched it too... there are two awful, yet brilliant moments in Troy. First is Brad Pitt's (who is utterly awful in the film) "Immortality! Take it, it's yours!" speech, which is so bad it's brilliant... and second is how Sean Bean's character comes up with the idea for The Trojan Horse, the centre-piece behind one of the greatest fables ever told...

He sits down next to a bloke who, for some weird reason unknown to us, is carving a little toy horse out of some wood (again.. why?!)... not to be rude, Our Bean points to said horse and remarks... "Thats Good" in a nice thick Yorkshire accent, before looking down, then looking up as if a million light-bulbs all went off at once... and that, ladies and gents is the inception of the great Trojan Horse... it is honestly one of the greatest scenes in modern cinematic history.

I remember watching that scene with a few mates, completely stoned, and we just burst into pure laughter and tears for around ten minutes, it's just absolutely fecking gold.

 

[Hectic]

Troy is an astoundingly shit film.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

It's incredibly shit... hilarious in parts though (not intentionally mind). But at nearly 3 hours long, I don't see how anyone could watch it repeatidly.

glad it stood out to other people... it's amazing.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I've seen The Mummy on TV more times then a) I would like to admit and B) it deserves... terrible film that is always on ITV2.

Oh, also Top Gun, which I'm pretty sure must be on TV at least once a week... because you know, who doesn't want to watch acceptable gay porn?

Batman Trilogy.

The iliad is a brilliant book as well as the Odyssey if you like ancient history..

Which incase you couldn't tell, I do

 

[Moby]

American History X
Pulp Fiction

But you can still stand to watch Gladiator & Troy?

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

But you can still stand to watch Gladiator & Troy?

Because they are very good 'films', take them at face value, I don't watch them for their historical accuracies, merely the entertainment... it's not a bad job they have done... there are millions of inaccuracies, name one book or story that went to film without missing any of the parts out? There isn't one...

For what it is, its a good film.

 

[Bross]

Gladiator is a good film. Troy is shit.

Green Mile is a film I always see if I switch around and notice its on.

 

[coolredwine]

American Pie series.

American Pie series.

[Waldner]

I don't know. I see the reasons why Troy is shit, but it still remains one of my favourite films. It's just so... massive. A film of that scale can have as many historical inaccuaracies (and be honest, how many historical films are strictly accurate?), unintentionally funny moments or terrible dialogue as it likes - but the sheer size of it is what gets me.

 

[Vato]

Never heard of that film.

 

[Cina]

Surprised to only see one Pulp Fiction mention so far. it's one of the few films that I can watch over and over without getting bored of it.

 

[Vato]

Pulp Fiction is overrated.

I'm probably going to get murdered for saying that now.

Probably if you look at the insane imdb ratings and all.

I thought this thread was about personal favourites, and it is one of mine. Can never ever get bored of it. Every single dialogue in the sequence "The Bonnie Situation" is pure gold.
