Title: One Movie Post by: ER on November 13, 2017, 09:03:18 AM If someone developed total amnesia after a falling coconut-related incident incurred while vacationing in the tropics, and did not remember a single film she'd ever seen in her life, and wanted to begin all over again seeing all the great movies of the world, what is the first film you'd suggest she see to begin it all? (Obviously not Memento, since that'd be rubbing salt in her wounds.)
One movie, what is it? Title: Re: One Movie Post by: Trevor on November 13, 2017, 09:42:37 AM I'd recommend RIDE THE HIGH WIND, the first African zombie movie. :teddyr:
Title: Re: One Movie Post by: Alex on November 13, 2017, 09:51:44 AM Avengers. Not the Marvel one, the one that was based on a British TV show. If I had to undergo the pain of watching that I do not see why anyone else should get to forget that pain, especially since Brother Trevor reminded me that this film existed by reviewing it on this very site and caused quite some emotional trauma to me. :P
Only kidding Trevor, we all love you really. :D Title: Re: One Movie Post by: Rev. Powell on November 13, 2017, 10:06:39 AM CASABLANCA. Classic, wide appeal, doesn't require knowledge of other films to understand it. A great starting point.
Title: Re: One Movie Post by: ER on November 13, 2017, 10:42:24 AM You know one film I think I'd recommend is the original version of The Lion in Winter.
Title: Re: One Movie Post by: lester1/2jr on November 13, 2017, 12:13:29 PM Fatal Attraction has something for everybody. Adrian Lyne is an underrated director who puts a lot of care into his work. One thing that has always impressed me about it is how believable it all is. This sort of stuff happens all the time.
Most movies are so insanely exaggerated, guys doing high speed car chases and going off the bridge and landing on the back of a truck or something. I haven 't seen many of those on my commute lately Title: Re: One Movie Post by: Allhallowsday on November 13, 2017, 12:38:19 PM YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU (1938)

That Gilligan will never visit the tropics again! Title: Re: One Movie Post by: indianasmith on November 13, 2017, 07:03:21 PM STAR WARS

Ralph Fiennes was okay. A pregnant Uma Thurman? No. And why do they always take shows that deal with smaller, more localized threats and issues, but make it an "end of the world as we know it" storyline? Stupid, stupid, stupid. Same with "Suicide Squad". Should have just been an intense "Dirty Dozen" film with a difficult, focused mission, but they opted for "saving the world" instead. |
