I love movies and some of my favorite classics that come to mind are Chinatown, LA Confidential, Goodfellas, Wall Street, and City of God. More recent movies I liked were 3 Billboards, Get Out, Arrival, Bridge of Spies, Kingsmen, Whiplash, and Moonlight.
Also a massive fan of nostalgic kid movies, and am pumped that some are coming out now. Just saw Incredibles 2 with my mom (Incredibles was my fav movie growing up) and going to see the adorable looking Christopher Robin with my grandma (who used to read me Winnie the Pooh books before bed as a little guy). I know its childish but I'm pumped, fuck the haters haha.
Currently more obsessed with TV shows than movies tho. Big fan of Billions.
100% with you on the kid movies. Lion King has always been my favorite movie and still watch it every once in a while. Also just watched Whiplash this past weekend; phenomenal movie.
Dude, have you seen "Us" yet? What a movie... You have got to watch it if you haven't, especially since you like Get Out
Yoooo trust me I'm dying to see that movie. Between work and recent issues in the ol' personal life I've had no free time, but that is at the top of my list.
Been big into Kill Bill lately, just saw it on Netflix. Don't know how I hadn't seen it before.

hello, well I am also a huge movie lover! I would give you some recommendations but my favourite movies are more the classy ones like Shutter Island, Inception - recently I also saw Primal fear with Richard Gere - it was also worth watching... It depends on what film genre you prefer (I like thriller for example)... Am I the only one who feels the old movies are much better than the new ones?
Completely agree that old movies are much better. I am a fan of action/drama movies. Some of my favorites are Goodwill Hunting, Shawshank, Seven Pounds
Prior to the film, I had read the novel Primal Fear, which was excellent. The movie was incredibly faithful to the book and it was probably the first movie that put Edward Norton on my radar. Whether Fight Club, Death to Smoochy, American History X, 25th Hour, Keeping the Faith, Birdman, Rounders, The Italian Job... comedy or drama, if he's in it, I'll more than likely watch it and thoroughly enjoy it.
My favorites range wildly. Desk Set, Star Wars, High 'em High, Wizards, The Maltese Falcon, Kill Bill, Chinatown, the original Taking of Pelham 123, Like Water for Chocolate, 12 Angry Men, Moonstruck, Pulp Fiction, Tortilla Soup, Hunt for Red October, Slap Shot, Miracle, RocknRolla, Crimson Tide, Vertigo, For a Fistful of Dollars, Boondock Saints, LA Confidential, Old Boy (the 2003 Korean film, not the American remake), The Ref, Working Girl, Usual Suspects, The Incredibles, The Long Kiss Goodbye, Sucker Punch, Ex Machina, Snatch, Mad Max: Fury Road, Train to Busan.
As for current stuff... I highly recommend going to see "Sorry to Bother You" - it is an epic mindfuck of a movie.
Does anyone else not like the Star Wars movies? I love the SW universe for games and I even played miniatures tabletop game and tabletop RPG game in middle school, but I just can't get behind the movies. I actually enjoyed Episode 2. Don't know if I would if I re-watched. I tried watching the new new ones though and it's just so over-the-top and unbelievable. What are these villains even trying to accomplish? What's their platform? So they've taken over the galaxy. Fine. Now what?
I like inspirational movies (e.g. Shawshank Redemption) as well as science fiction. Contact is a favorite movie and I also liked Interstellar though not quite as much.
The Grand Budapest Hotel is a good comedy
The Godfather (series) is like a fall time classic for me.
I just think some of Adam Sandler's older movies (Mr. Deeds, Happy Gilmore, especially) are funny, which might just be a guilty pleasure
Margin Call (Paul Bettany and Zach Quinto are just epic)
Menace II Society, because they're so hood and it's funny
And also have to admit that children's movies are great too (The Incredibles, UP, Toy Story, Despicable Me, etc.)
Speaking of Adam Sandler, Click was great.
If you're into mob flicks, Donnie Brasco is one of the most underrated mob movies of all time imo. Al Pacino is hysterical as always and it's peak Johnny Depp, before he convinced himself he was some type of real-life vampire or whatever the hell his shtick is supposed to be these days.
Christ, can you please shut the fuck up, no one likes you're crappy preference for Johnny Depp movies
The Dark Knight Inception Interstellar The Dark Knight Rises Mad Max Fury Road LOTR Trilogy Gladiator Blade Runner 2049 Dunkirk Prisoners Sicario
Would love to hear resident movie critic @Going Concern" 's top 5
Great call and +1SB on Man on Fire... I often forget that when discussing favorite flicks.
Casino, Good Fellas, Apocalypse now, The Shining, The Thing
Continuing the trend of old movies:
Waterboy
Big Daddy
Dumb and Dumber
Bourne identity series is great
John wick
42
My All American
Wedding Crashers, The Departed, Fantastic Mr Fox, Ocean's Eleven, Donnie Darko, Zodiac, Fight Club
BIG Pursuit of Happiness guy.. but i hate watching it because it hurts too much to watch that scene in the subway bathroom...
Fast and Furious series???????
I really enjoyed the new Blade Runner. I have a big mancrush on the Goose
I'm a big fan of Radio Rock Revolution, American Hustle, In Time and Men in Black!
Fast and furious series amazing is great and all-time MCU all 17 movies till date. around 10 movies I have watched it from the mobdro app. I downloaded the mobdro apk and watched 10 movies almost.
I love old school films, I don't get why so many people when they are thinking of what film to watch only consider movies from the last few years while as cinema has been around for over a century. A film takes me to another world, if it's also another era's understanding of another world, then that's twice removed from reality and I love that.
Some favorite old school escapist films in no particular order:
