Movies You Should See [but Probably Haven't]

[jpmcwjr]

Yeah, there are two new threads about movies. Very different time periods.
While posters and links are helpful in many cases, in these threads I think they can get in the way. Putting in availability is appreciated, however.

Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) and
Russian Ark (2002)
the making of Russian Ark is incredible. movie is one continuous take and the whole setup, filming, and clearout had to be done in 24 hours. masterpiece.

Not exactly a movie, but well worth a look. I laughed till I almost cried.

BLACKADDER, Season 4, Episode 4, "Private Plane"

@BronzeAgePiper I've just been hunting for "Come and See" but didn't even think of looking for it on YT. Thank you!

3 favorites that come to mind right away that many people probably haven't seen...all with great scripts, casting and direction:

Edge of Darkness: maybe my favorite Mel Gibson movie...intense, realistic thriller.

After Dark My Sweet: film noir...Jason Patric, Rachel Ward and Bruce Dern are fantastic in this.

Maps to the Stars: definitely my favorite Cronenberg film...original, incomparable...part psychological thriller, part ghost story, part dark comedy...an exploration of end-stage malignant narcissism.

Heard the woman in cabin 10 is good haven't see it but I have been told it is one to watch if you haven't seen it on Netflix

Come And See is definitely one everyone should see.

Another war movie that’s not too well-known but worth it is The Victors. I saw it for the first time last year, and that firing squad scene is not one I’ll forget anytime soon.

Allow me to recommend "Fools' Parade" a 1971 comedy-drama starring Jimmy Stewart, Strother Martin, and Kurt Russell. I do not believe that Mr. Stewart ever made a bad movie; this one is delightful.

Gus Van Sant's movie Elephant (2003). Inspired by the Columbine school shooting. Free on YouTube if anyone is interested.

The Wicker Man from 1976 and Suspiria from 1977.

I’ll have to check out Map of the Stars, for some reason I never got around to it. Well I haven’t seen his new remake of “Crimes of the Future” either, and after watching “Rabid” last night, those are the only two Cronenberg films I haven’t seen. I think my favorite would have to be “The Brood”

Just watch this. I don’t want to give it away, except to say it’s amazing.

I think you can actually watch it on YouTube at present.

Been in my collection for years. You ain't wrong, it's a good one

Wong Kar-wai movies. "In the Mood for Love" will make you want to be young again.

Akira Kurosawa movie with Toshiro Mifune starting. All of them.

"Patton"

"The Longest day"

"Starman" Tear jerker from hell.

Porky's, all of them, only if you want to experience 80s idea of bad taste in comedy.

More to follow...

Akira Kurosawa movie with Toshiro Mifune starting. All of them.

If you're not acquainted with Kurosawa's work, you're missing out on some great flicks. I would recommend you watch THE SEVEN SAMURAI first. It's one of the greatest movies ever made.

Sorcerer is in my top 10 movies of all time. Maybe a decade ago now I saw a 35mm print of it with 4-track magnetic sound at Quentin Tarantino’s theater in L.A. It was almost a religious experience, pure cinema.
