Creepshow Written by Stephen King, directed by George freaking Romero with Tom Savini special effects. Starring (among others) Tom Atkins, Ed Harris, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, Adrienne Barbeau, and E.G. Marshall. Beautiful practical effects, awesome lighting effects to match simulate comic book panels, and a freaking amazing score that I play every Halloween.

It was Jaws for the longest time until I finally saw The Machinist a few years ago and that's now my favorite move of all time and I can't see anything ever being better than that.SilvergunSuperman posted:Dumbass opinions belong together, godbless. Yeah for real, Donnie Darko was easily the 2nd worst movie I'd ever seen in my entire life (1st place goes to Open Water). After seeing Donnie Darko I promised myself I would never watch another goon-recommended movie again because I assumed they'd all be pretentious pointless plot-less dogshit. "You have no idea what's going on the entire movie! That's the beauty of it!"

Ugly In The Morning posted:Children of Men. I saw it when it first came out in theaters and was completely blown away. My friends and I were laughing and joking going in but when the credits rolled no one said a god drat word for at least five minutes. That movie is intense. That movie is incredible. Everything about it is perfect. I kind of miss movies like Dick Tracy and The Rocketeer, back when Disney was really going after that 1930s-1940s aesthetic. Dick Tracy is an incredible action-adventure that manages to couple action with hints of horror (just the idea of getting a "bath" from Big Boy Caprice is creepy as gently caress) and incredible acting from Al Pacino. I just love the Rocketeer because the combination of being able to fly, fighting Nazis, James Horner's soundtrack, a final fight on a loving zeppelin, and Jennifer Connelly is something beautiful.

I'm gonna go ahead and say one of the best comedies of all time (besides Dumb and Dumber and Office Space) is The Heartbreak Kid (the one with Ben Stiller). It got absolutely wretched reviews and I think might have even been a box-office disaster but I can sit and watch that movie any time, any day, over and over. The movie is perfect for so many reasons. He falls in love with the girl at the beginning; she's perfect, smart, beautiful, sweet, etc. She plays the part perfectly. You fall in love with her just watching her. Then within a few days of being married you actually side with Ben Stiller attempting to be unfaithful on his own loving honeymoon. Even though, on paper, she's doing nothing wrong: she sings annoyingly and has a bad sunburn. That's literally it, and yet you totally get Ben Stiller's position too somehow. That's how perfectly it's acted. The girl he is trying to cheat on his wife with is played similarly perfectly; she's not hot; she's "fall-in-love-with beautiful". And she's got the coolest personality ever, and again you actually sympathize with this guy when you should hate him. Also, the ending is absolutely perfect. There's a few corny scenes (the jellyfish part) but overall for a movie that got absolutely lambasted I think it's one of the best comedies I've ever seen, and a major part of that is simply for the plot and how well the characters play their roles. One of the rare comedies I can watch over and over and over again. (Yes I am aware it's a remake of a '70s movie) I would say it's the perfect comedy movie.

Bogus Adventure posted:That movie is incredible. Everything about it is perfect. Clive Owen’s performance in that is why I’ll still watch basically anything with Clive Owen in it. He’s never quite matched it but that’s like complaining Justified peaked with Season 2, sometimes you just end up setting a high bar for yourself relatively early. Doesn’t mean what came after isn’t great.

The Godfather: Part II For me, it's the perfect movie. Scarface comes a close 2nd, though. Guilty pleasure movie is Employee of The Month. Yes, the one with Dane Cook and Dax Shepard.
