Jupiter Ascending
Grammas boy
Favorite is difficult and changes over time. But it’s gonna be one of these:
- The Big Lebowski
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Clerks
- Tron
- Airplane!
- Die Hard
- Escape From New York
Now I think The Pianist is the best movie of all time, which is a different thing, but that newer movie 1917 sure competes.
Were you born between '78 and '83?
It’s still Office Space.
Sneakers
Airplane!
The Mummy (1999)
Interstellar. I so sincerely regret not seeing it on the big screen.
Same here, didn’t see it on the big screen because I kept hearing negative things about the film but man… it’s the best sci-fi movie I’ve ever seen!
It was a very intense experience in the cinema. Some sequences -docking, waves, tesseract…- were absolutely spectacular
docking
Can’t believe they showed one guy fucking another guys foreskin, that seemed really out of place
TIL I wish I could unlearn
The scene where he read the poem was really memorable for me. I found out afterwards it’s a well-known poem irl, but I’ll probably always associate it with that movie. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.
yea ! for some reason I initially thought it was composed for the movie as well. Maybe because it was so fitting
Once I ignored the ridiculous conclusion that “love is the key” I also liked this film.
Fury Road.
My previous best film was Mad Max 2.
Velocipastor.
It is a goddamn masterpiece and the perfect movie for all occasions.
5th element
Awww, yeah. I saw this in the theater on acid. Was amazing.
Jurassic Park hands down.
yea me too. Saw it very young and it stuck with me
I got to see it opening weekend with my mom and stepdad who took me to see it because I wasn’t 13 yet but was absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs to a more academic extent than your average 9 year old even has any business being. The box office had a giant hand sculpted pterodactyl in a nest on top of it which was one of the coolest things ever.
You should also definitely read the books, there is a much stronger emphasis on how capitalism makes everything shittier and endangers workers and compromises scientific integrity, which makes it especially shameful that toward the end of his life Crichton turned into a fuckin climate change denying right wing crank.
I’ll consider reading the books then. I wish I had seen it in the cinema but I must have been 4 or 5 when it released so I may have been a bit young. Although I did watch it on vhs at home like one year later, so…
The Lord of the Rings
The Big Lebowski
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, followed by Life of Brian.
