Sicario. Not the first movie but it’s been on my list for years.
Same dude. I just haven’t been in the mood to watch a movie with a ton of gunfights and death involved. It’s a more heavy hitting movie as well.
What was the last movie you watched?
I think the last movie we watched was Oppenheimer, and before that it was Guardians of the Galaxy. How about you?
I recently watched Alita: Battle Angel. I enjoyed it. Before that, I watched Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scaregiver. I had watched part 1 and actually found it pretty good. So I figured that I might as well get around to watching part 2, more in the sake of finishing what I had started. I did not enjoy part 2. I looked into what others had said about it and one of the dumbest ‘reports’ was that there might be a “Snyder Cut” for both parts coming later. Which I found to be extremely dumb if Netflix/Snyder had actually planned for this. Doubt it, who knows what the heck is gonna happen on this weird AF timeline we’re on.
The Godfather. It would be crazy to go through my life without ever seeing it, given that it’s considered one of the best movies of all time. But I know I’m going to be disappointed because I can never empathize with or care about what happens to gangsters or unlikeable characters in movies. I saw Goodfellas and thought it was boring. I pushed through all of Breaking Bad waiting for it to get good, but it just got more and more tragic. Same with The Departed. So, I have no hope for The Godfather.
Threads (1984) by Mick Jackson
Not sure who recommended it to me, but IMDB says its about “[t]he effects of a nuclear holocaust on the working class city of Sheffield, England and the eventual long-term effects of nuclear war on civilization.” Didn’t have a lot of motivation to seek it out, but it has great ratings. Top review says “Very few films have the ability to suck the life out of a viewer and leave them feeling drained and shaken in quite the same way that this does.” Yeah, so I’m not sure if I will ever be in the mood for that to be honest.
it’s on youtube
imagine Shakespeare tragedy where everyone dies but as a narrated documentary. it’s freaking depressing…
as a brit raised on US apocalyptic films, it was genuinely jarring to see what looked like my home town undergoing a nuclear war in a realistic fashion.
Normally I watch these films and think “oh those poor people”, but this was the first I thought something else.
Dunno about first, but the top of the list is Zero Hour, as part of an Airplane! marathon
The oldest still on my watchlist since 2012 when I joined Letterboxd is Enter The Void. I’m just never in the mood for that one.
Oh I feel yeah on this one. I loosely attempted many years ago to watch it but only got about seven minutes in and decided to find something else to watch. Then five years ago, I put in a serious effort to watch it. Got to about the 25 minute mark. It was a heavy hitter drama movie and I just couldn’t bring myself to finish it. I might try to watch it, but it more now on my watch after ‘The List’ (of over 400 movies,) is completed.
Winter Sleep (2014) https://trakt.tv/movies/winter-sleep-2014
Supposed to be good but long.
Mental watchlist… I have no clue but I have probably not watched it lol.
According to Trakt, Edge of Tomorrow… The reason is, I watch pretty much all the movies with my gf, and we add more shit to it… Hey, that is why this lists exists, isn’t it?
I’ve got so many of those “could be interesting” semi-indie flicks that just always get pushed to the side for popcorn-faire when I do have some rare time to watch a film.
Watchmen. I planned on watching it in 2010 and look where we are now. Still haven’t seen it. I promise I’ll get to it… Haha.
