It's kind of amazing that I Am Legend has been adapted into a movie three times (four, if you count Asylum's take on it, I suppose), and yet none of them have had the balls to stick to the original ending.

Lurdiak posted:The Will Smith movie is pretty great if you watch the proper cut without the bullshit theatrical ending for assholes. Isn't the theatrical ending closer to the book? At least Neville kills himself in the theatrical cut while in the director's cut he gets a "drives off into the sunrise" ending or something like that. Maybe my memory's shot again, I don't know.

Lester Shy posted:Looking for dreamy, nightmarish, Lynchian horror movies. It's a really specific request, but I love stories where a character passes from the real world into a dream/purgatory/whatever. Things like Jacob's Ladder, Inland Empire, As Above So Below, the 2nd and 3rd seasons of Channel Zero, Baskin, etc. Mulholland Drive if that has somehow passed you by.

Ramrod Hotshot posted:I've never seen any of the Roger Moore Bond movies, except for one scene I think from Octopussy where he holds two women underwater in a pool literally just by placing a hand on top of each of their heads. Are any of them better than that or is this kind of nonsense the general vibe of 70s/80s Bond? Moore starts off well, with Live and Let Die (though it's really weird seeing what is effectively a Bond-branded blaxploitation movie), then falls off a cliff with The Man with the Golden Gun. The Spy Who Loved Me is very good, though, but everything after that in the Moore era ranges from bad (Moonraker) to terrible (A View to a Kill is unwatchable, though it has a killer theme song). The two Dalton movies from the '80s are essential watching, though.

regulargonzalez posted:What are some movies where the movie is much more than or very different from its reputation? I'm thinking like Rocky, where it's not a boxing movie (there's like 3 minutes of boxing in the movie), Jaws, Psycho. Ghostbusters is thought of as a sci-fi action fest but it's a dry comedy.

WHY BONER NOW posted:Those are good suggestions, though I'm a little burned out on zombie movies. I'm looking for a "my god they've broken through" kind of vibe. Aliens would be perfect, but I'm hoping to find something I haven't seen before The battle of Helm's Deep in The Two Towers qualifies. The original Assault on Precinct 13, definitely. Seven Samurai would qualify, as would The Mist. Zulu (1964, with Michael Caine) is a bit problematic, racially, but it's great. Left-field suggestion: Cujo.

Stuff we've watched lately that she enoyed: The Nice Guys (she thought Gosling was hilarious), M:I Fallout, Inside Man, Collateral, Taking of Pelham 123 (the original), Open Range, Zodiac (though she wasn't happy that they didn't catch him at the end lol). Stuff she said was "ok": Fury Road, Nolan's Batman trilogy, the Bourne trilogy, Blood Diamond, 21 Bridges. Stuff she hated: Inception was the worst film she's ever seen The 3:10 to Yuma remake from a few years back.

Them being historical rivalries are a bonus, but not necessary, I'm just looking for any movies about two dudes who loving hate each other over an escalating grudge. The Prestige? Ford vs. Ferrari?

feedmyleg posted:I despeartely need a third in this trilogy. They are two of the best films of the century so far and just exude incredible moods. I mean, Cave only wrote the score for Jesse James, but I'll absolutely go to bat for The Proposition being an incredible piece of cinema in essentially every respect. It bums me out that the next Hillcoat / Cave movie score & screenplay collaboration was Lawless, because that movie was just ... not good, not good at all.

Roumba posted:On the more "scary-to-kids-but-lol-for-adults" end of the spectrum: Event Horizon I'll echo that recommendation. Parts of that movie still freak me out, and it's probably the best thing Paul W.S. Anderson has made. A shame that he wanted to release his director's cut on Blu-ray but discovered that the elements had been lost.

Le Cercle Rouge not bad, did not dig State of Siege or Get Carter as much. What am I missing? Any newer examples of this genre that still have the same "feel" to them? If you haven't seen In Bruges, then see it.

Origami Dali posted:Looking for any good movies with a similar mood or tone to The Verdict. It's got a very particular kind of sadness to it. About lost opportunity, growing old and being weary from the weight of a harsh world, and doing one last good deed despite the odds stacked against you. It's a melancholy movie that is weirdly cozy. McCabe & Mrs. Miller is a bit in that vein, I think. Anything else? Children of Men, maybe? Obviously Se7en comes to mind. Wonder Boys, maybe. Edit: Mangold's remake of 3:10 to Yuma would qualify. As would The Proposition. Timby fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Nov 14, 2022 |
