This weekly thread will focus on getting other people to watch movies we love, but others may not have seen or even know about.
In order to make a recommendation or two, simply let others know an appropriate amount about a movie and why they should give it a chance.
If you want to deeply discuss one, please remember to use Spoiler tags where applicable!
Some Starters (and don’t feel you have to speak on all or any of them if you don’t care to):
- Great bad movies
- Hilarious garbage for a big group movie night
- Best genre movies
- Underrated films
Equilibrium was underrated. I liked it much better than The Matrix (which felt like some pretty shallow people trying to be deep while rehashing SF themes dating back to about the time I was born). I mean Equilibrium wasn’t especially original either (part Brave New World, part 1984, and part Fahrenheit 451) but it didn’t try to pretend to be deeper than it really was.
Drag Me To Hell was good fun.
Love Never Dies … I … it never grabbed me. Musically it was weak, IMO, which is fatal for, you know, a musical. (Same for that Rocky Horror Picture Show sequel Shock Therapy.)
Dog Soldiers was very good indeed; I should probably watch it again.
The rest are either things I’ve never heard of, or things I’ve heard of but am not interested in.
