Last Movie You Watched

Taxi Driver. Although I could say that I watched it mostly to hear Herrmann's score; is also true that I enjoyed the movie better than before.

Ok, I know everyone has seen this movie here as I've seen this posted countless times in this thread but after having an eye on it for over 5 years I finally got around to watching it.

Pretty good. A bit silly, but surely entertaining.

     It never occurred to me before that the film was silly. It's still not occurring to me. A plausible criticism is that it's an exploitation film designed by a mad philosophy professor, partially redeemed by the seriousness of the ideas. Some people might find it exceedingly unpleasant.

Exploitation against who? The protagonist?

I'm not sure why I find it silly- it just feels silly. The goofy costumes and the main character reaping what he sows... like if you are going to go on a madness spree, then either learn how to either lucid dream or suicide quickly after doing crimes. The main character just isn't believable at all tbh. Really, none of the movie is.

Exploitation against who? The protagonist?

    An exploitation film is "a film that attempts to succeed financially by exploiting current trends, niche genres, or lurid content. Exploitation films are generally low-quality "B movies"."

    So, what if the mad professor goes to see an exploitation film and decides to make one but puts his ideas in? Note the ideas aren't mad, putting them into an exploitation film is.

So I guess this one would fall under the lurid content category then? (the other two wouldn't make sense)

Perhaps since I'm not familiar with exploitation films then I couldn't imagine it being just that.  The plot is very cohesive, so the ideas didn't seem out of place to me.







Average. Exorcism scene was nice. But will ultimately be forgettable among all of the other haunted house stories (especially after just watching Insidious).




This is a type of movie I never end up watching since I'm not a gore fan, but it will still pretty good. It was pretty goofy yet extremely sick and twisted at the same time. I like evil clowns (for example, Sweet Tooth from the Twisted Metal series), too, so that helps.




Now this one was great! This one will be a movie to remember. It felt like this could literally have been a video a recording of some dream I've had in my lifetime. And I LOVE dreams like that! Just pure chaos and panic, it's very exhilarating.

The Mule.  Boring, pointless, and centered around a loathsome character.  Eastwood should just retire.

Aquaman. A total dud. You know there's a problem when Dolph Lundgren ends up being the second best actor in the movie!!

Thanks, both, for taking one for the team.

This one should count double — taking two for the team.

Just watched this.

Can't say it was as entertaining as I thought it would have been. Idk... just meh.

Watched Hidden Figures last night. I couldn't say no to a movie starring Janelle Monae.

It's mostly just... nice. Although for some mysterious reason there seemed to be something in my eye around the time of a wedding proposal...

In real life, Katherine Goble Johnson is now aged 101 and still married.

The Boat that Rocked





This is a really very entertaining film about a pirate radio station based on an offshore ship in the 1970's. The characters are both entertaining and believable. Well worth a watch and the music is great [if you are of a certain vintage].

Christoph Waltz was the superior cast member.

Nevertheless, I don't see myself coming back for a second viewing

Loved that one!

Yes, a very entertaining watch indeed.

Two really exquisite films I'd never seen before.

     Inglorious Basterds is considered one of QT's best by considerers, up there with Jackie Brown which probably ranks No. 1.

So saith de vrouw van mijn vriend. I recuse myself from the question of Tarantino's #1. Only saying I shan't need to watch it again.
