Why don't you guys post about the movies you're watching?

Oh, for crying out loud!!!! 😁

I’m actually pretty glad I stumbled upon someone on the IMF forums who’s actually seen Metropolis, besides Duderin, and is down to talk about it. You're willing to weigh in, right? Or maybe not.

Personally, I think this is the best animated movie I've ever seen.

Alright, look, just take a look at this.Nausicaa

That guy is just some little anime nerd working at the IMF—honestly, he’s probably the only one there like that. We should probably give him a little bump so his stuff doesn't just sink to the bottom. 😁

So, I've already posted my take on Metropolis on here—it’s just an amateur review written in my own words—but I figured I'd throw it out to you guys so we can just keep the discussion in this thread instead of starting some pointless new one. I'm actually pretty curious to see what people think about Metropolis, especially those of you who don't usually bother with anime. What's your honest opinion?

Yeah, look, the IMF is messing things up right now, so I can't even open all the threads properly. But once they get their act together, I'll definitely take a look.

On the docks of New York City - excellent
Sullivan's travels - hit or miss
Sabrina - good
Sunset Blvd - a total classic

I finally sat down and watched Sling Blade...
If you're a fan of "The Man Who Wasn't There" or Lynch's "The Straight Story," this is a must-watch. Billy Thornton was absolutely incredible.

The Matrix Reloaded. Honestly, such a wild ride, I think it might actually top the first one.👍

xtrmntr said:The Matrix Reloaded. This movie is absolute madness. Honestly, I think it beats the first one.👍

Where'd you catch it?😕 😲

Watched "The Recruit" last night—really enjoyed it...

I caught "small business horror" for the first time yesterday, and honestly? I enjoyed it. While the first half definitely outshines the second, they nailed certain elements—especially the soundtrack—which earns it a passing grade from me.

I know musicals might not be everyone's cup of tea on this forum, but I’d still recommend this one if you're just looking for something light to watch...

Rewatched Terminator today (the first one). That robot design is actually pretty solid, but man, the animation is just straight-up crappy.

If you haven't seen "Hours," you absolutely need to check it out!

Between that and Solondzov's "Happiness" or the Mexican film "Amores Perros,"
it’s honestly the only movie from the Western world that has truly hit me hard
over the last five or six years...

I have to be honest—and I say this with some serious regret— 😁 I gotta admit, I actually watched it. Maid in Manhattan I mean, I honestly figured if Ralph Finnes is in a movie, he just can't be bad—it’s practically a rule at this point. So, anyway... what am I even telling you guys? If you really don't have to—or if nobody is forcing your hand with a free ticket or something—just skip it. 😉 Honestly, just skip it. Don't even bother. There are way better ways to waste ninety minutes of your life than sitting through that. 😉

I was just thinking—maybe we could spark a slightly different kind of discussion here? Instead of just listing our favorite movies over and over again without any real direction...

Beauty is such a subjective thing, isn't it? But when you start digging into the actual framework of a movie—the core idea behind it—that’s where the real thinking begins.

Take a film like Joan of Arc, for example. I’ve seen the old German version, and then there’s this newer one by Luc Besson. To be honest, I think the German film holds more weight in terms of pure cinematic quality, but—and this is a big but—this new adaptation really sheds light on some historical figures that I found genuinely impressive. Every time I think back to Joan, my mind always drifts toward the theological questions she raised.

It’s wild, really. The film forces you to question that whole concept of doing something "in the name of God"—you pursue this incredibly noble cause, yet you end up committing sins in the process. It makes for a classic, timeless tragedy.

We all know the history—Joan was burned as a heretic, only to be canonized by the Vatican five hundred years later. Which, if you look at the broader context, ties right back into how England eventually broke away from the Vatican to establish its own church.

Even now, I find myself stuck on a question that I can't quite wrap my head around, and I'd love to hear what you guys think. Was what Joan experienced purely psychological—maybe a result of childhood trauma—leading her to fight for herself rather than for God? Or did she truly see visions sent by a higher power? Did she see what she *wanted* to see, or were those messages actually divine?

And that final moment in the film, when she admits her sins... it makes you wonder during that last confession before the stake: was that truly God speaking to her, or was it just her own conscience?

Just finished watching Life of David Gal

So, I finally sat down and watched Romance by Catherine Breillat, and man, it’s definitely one of those movies that stays under your skin for a while. It’s pretty heavy stuff, honestly—just really raw and unflinching in how it handles desire and all the messy, complicated ways people try to connect. It isn't exactly a "feel-good" kind of watch, but there's something about the way it explores those intense emotional boundaries that feels incredibly honest, even if it gets a little uncomfortable at times. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for something deep and a bit provocative.
The cover art claimed this was one of those top-tier erotic movies, even throwing out comparisons to Last Tango in Paris, which felt like a lot of hype. Honestly, it’s not half bad—definitely worth a watch if you have the time. Regardless, the whole subject matter is actually pretty spot-on when you consider how much people obsess over this modern version of "quasi-feminism" these days. 😉.

Has anyone else seen The Blair Witch Project? Seriously, that movie is a masterpiece.

She Creature — a total B-movie. I stumbled upon it by accident, but it was surprisingly decent. It’s a Fantasy / horror flick about a beautiful yet terrifying mermaid trapped in an aquarium. The plot holds up well enough, and the effects are actually impressive... honestly, the mermaid alone makes it worth the watch.

"Requiem for a Dream" is such a technically fascinating piece of filmmaking.

I was watching Waterworld the other day, probably for the 500th time... I mean, the movie isn't even that old.

But I do watch Rosemary's Baby on a regular basis... 😁

I caught Hero tonight... It really reminds me of fuckin tiger or maybe Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The plot is a bit shaky and doesn't quite hold up, but honestly, that’s just how these kinds of movies go.
The special effects are terrible, but the sound design is great and the scenery is absolutely stunning.
If you loved the first movie I mentioned, you'll probably dig this one too. If not, just skip it.

"I Am Sam" is such a great movie👍

I watched "Sad Biti Dosta" (not sure if I got the exact title right) starring Jennifer Lopez today... it wasn't bad, assuming you don't mind a little bit of occasional naivety.

I was walking past the theater and saw that 2 Weeks Notice was starting in five minutes, so I decided to pop in. Honestly, the plot is predictable from start to finish and nothing special. But hey, I had a good laugh. Hugh Grant is just built for these kinds of roles.
