Good Movies

Hey y'all...we have a GoodBooks page, and while I personally worship the printed word over all the celluloid in the world, film is also damn good! And I could always use recommendations for other movies to see.

• or if theres no good movies see BadDontSeeMoVies

If you want to look up brief summaries of movies, http://www.imdb.com/ is a good place.

The Inhertitors.

If you get a chance, watch this movie. Its German with English subtitles, and just amazing. The story is about Austrian peasants at the turn of the 20^th century. Its a story about people claiming the right to be human. Its about strong-willed women, and searching men. Its about the question of what life is for.

What would you do for the people you love? How much would you give for your child? What are you capable of? For what would you kill? For what would you risk your life for?

Movies Ali can Watch Over and Over and Over...

• [what is] The Matrix [?] ("An action movie with a plot. Who'da thunkit?" Lotus)
• Labyrinth (David Bowie, wheeeeee)
• 10 Things I Hate About You (come on, it's funny.)
• Girl, Interrupted (angelina, angelina)
• A Walk in the Clouds (chick-flick alert)
• Say Anything (see above)
• Pay it Forward (bring a kleenex)
• Almost Famous (Jimmy Fallon is in it....)
• Parenthood (Steve Martin and Keanu, and a really interesting view of a family as the third person)
• Little Women (but... but... Beth!)
• Muppets from Space ("You tell him, and I will smack you, okay? I will smack you like a bad, bad donkey!")
• Shrek (well... you know)
• Moulin Rouge ("my little strawberry!")
• Aladdin (steller soundtrack... and I'm an absolute kid's movie buff)
• Much Ado About Nothing (my only complaint is that no one killed Claudio, the ignorant little bastard)
• Harry Potter (shut up.)
• Sense and Sensibility (Alan Rickman on a horse with a funky hat and a high collar. Can we say sexy?)
• The Princess Bride (true love! the pit of dispair! an evil six-fingered man! (ted) R.O.U.S's! Cary Elwes!)
• O Brother Where Art Thou? (jus' as good an' ol' time as momma's road-kill-and-varmin-pot pie!)

The LHF's list of good movies:

• Shrek! See Shrek! One of the funnest movies I have ever seen! I loved it! Plus, it has a great ending that I'm not going to tell you about! You'll just have to go see it your self! *grin*
• Men In Black Funny movie! Will Smith is hilarious! (At lest in this movie. In some others..... Well, how shall I say it? He sucked! *grin*)
• Monty Python That means anything by Monty Python! This includes:
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail First movie by Monty Python. Not the funnest one, but still really funny. Also the only Monty Python to be rated PG-13. (I think.)
• Life of Brian The funnest movie Monty Python ever made! Warning: Rated R for full nudity!
• The Meaning of Life If the Life of Brian is the funnest Monty Python movie ever, the Meaning of Life is by far the sickest! It's really really funny! If you made a list of all the resons to give a movie a R rating, the Meaning of life would probably have almost all of them. But when you put all of those things in one movie, what you get (if done right) is really funny!

(More coming later.)

Neal's list of good movies:

• The Grateful Dead Movie ***** From the same concerts as Steal Your Face, this really is one of the Dead's best films
• Apollo 13 ***** Not as good as the book, but still an exellent movie
• Moll Flanders **** Yeah, I know I probably don't fall into this movie's target audience, but it was a truly exellent film
• The Princess Bride **** Have a good time storming the castle...
• anything by The Marx Brothers, execpt Go West and Room Service which they did just for the money
• Annie Hall ***** I love Woody Allen, and Dianne Keaton works so well with him
• Star Trek: Insurrection ****, Star Trek: First Contact ****, and Star Trek: Generations ****, Live Long and Prosper, Enough said.

Shrek, Shrek, Shrek, Shrek, Shrek. It was hucking filarious!!! I loved it!!!

• Might that have anything to do with the fact that the princess shares your name? *grin*, who's feeling impudent just now, but agrees about the movie

One word: MEMENTO!!! I saw Memento yesterday and its a GREAT movie!!! SEE IT!!! heh. It has Guy Pierce and some other people in it. Its a GOOD movie. Its about this guy who cant create new memories after his wife is killed and so he has all sorts of systems to remember things and its really cool... Go see it! Mush lub Rae www.otnemem.com -check it out!

Lorin says see The Million Dollar Hotel. I saw it twice in one week and got more out of it the second time.

• The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow.

I'm a wimp so I had to watch it in broad daylight with a pillow to hide behind, the windows and doors open, and a cheery book to pause and read, but I'm a Total scary-movie wimp, it's still really awesome, you should definantly see it! -Miranda

Okay everyone I'm just doin' a little public service announcement here. I know most of you won't have seen these films cause most of 'em are either obscure or european so I thought I should bring you up to speed about them.

• Titanic. Although it wasn't screened widely and was panned by the academy (why do they always do that to good films?) this movie really is an emotional rollercoaster.
• The Matrix. Wow, this is an indie film straight out of nowhere that you absolutely HAVE to see! The acting in this movie is out of this world with stand out performances by new comer Keanu Reeves and heretofor uknown Lawrence Fishburn (nice special effects too).
• The Full Monty. Okay I hate to overuse words, but this movie deserves a wow too! Its this really cute movie about cute irish people taking their clothes off for laughs.
• Patch Adams. Robin Williams as a doctor with a heart, 'nuff said.
• A Clockwork Orange. I can't see how Stanley Kubrick could make this timeless masterpiece and yet make such stink bombs as Dr.Strangelove, 2001, and Spartacus, but who can figure anything out these days.

-Jonah

• Jonah, once again I am proud to call you my friend. ~gabrielle

/Wit/

anyone everyone hasto see this movie i cryed for 20 minuets after it its just so sad and GOOD it makes me cry real tears

• You know, there's a amazing play (sad, too) called W;t (no, I didn't spell it wrong)...wonder if it's the same...-Robyn

Movies that Emerie adores enough to have posters of them on her walls:

• Little Voice You all must see this movie. It's gorgeous and happy and sad and funny and brilliant and entertaining and sparkling and so much more. Jane Horrocks is phenomenal, and Brenda Blethyn, Michael Caine, Ewan McGregor, and Jim Broadbent are splendid as well. AND they all have British accents! What more could you ask for?
• Funny that you should mention this movie...I saw it last year, and then in the past week, I watched it several times. My sister is the biggest Ewan McGregor fan (and as I type this, she's watching Star Wars Episode 1 because of him). Anyway. It's a wonderful movie, Little Voice. Has some very poinent(sp) moments. -Cloe
• I'm so glad someone else appreciates it! And I think Ewan is much better in Little Voice than in Episode One. He's okay in Trainspotting, though. Emerie
• The Spanish Prisoner I'm very pleased that someone else even put this up before me (Yay, Mitchell! Although I disagree with you about Young Frankenstein.) Spanish Prisoner is David Mamet at his best, and if you don't know how good that means it is, boy have you been missing out. And Campbell Scott! Swoon...
• Oleanna More of that brilliant Mamet. And dear Mr. William H. Macy. I have got to play Carol sometime... I am so perfect for it! Ahem. Actually, you should read the play. It's even better than the movie. And then get someone to do a production and cast me, okay?
• The Wizard of Oz Perfection. I was raised on Oz.
• Singin' in the Rain I was also raised on Gene Kelly. I adore that man! The world lost one of its jewels when he died. And Singin' has Donald O'Connor, too! Heaven! I also need to play Lena Lamont sometime in my career. "I caaaaiin't steaiind 'im!"
• Cradle Will Rock Why didn't this movie get to be huge? Oh, that's rightit's actually GOOD. So many stories vital to our country's history, woven together beautifully. And an amazing cast Susan Sarandon, Emily Watson, John Turturro, Cherry Jones, Hank Azaria, John & Joan Cusack, Bill Murray, Vanessa Redgrave, the list goes on...
• The Impostors (well, I don't actually have its poster in my room, but I would if only I had it and the wall space) Hilarious, and another phenomenal cast Stanley Tucci and Oliver Platt (what a team! Tucci also wrote and directed), Allison Janney, Lili Taylor, Steve Buscemi, Tony Shalhoub, Matt McGrath, Isabella Rosselini, Alfred Molina, Campbell Scott (good god he's funny too), Hope Davis, Dana Ivey, Billy Connolly...
• Little Shop of Horrors The Dentist Song. Need I say more? :->

Other excellent films, but maybe not poster-worthy (although I'm considering starting on the ceiling and that may change things):

• All That Jazz
• Run Lola Run
• Quiz Show
• Pi
• Panic (just saw it todaytiny, independent, very good... W.H. Macy's the lead)
• Judy Berlin (also tiny and independentquietly magnificent)
• Delectable fluff: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Benny and Joon and That Thing You Do
• Croupier
• Hilary and Jackie
• Daytrippers
• The David Mamet Canon: Glengarry Glen Ross, House of Games, American Buffalo, A Life in the Theatre, Homicide
• Citizen Kane
• American Beauty
• Casablanca
• Rounders
• A Hard Day's Night
• The Birdcage
• Toys
• The Producers (I've been answering the phone lately with "Bialyshtock und Blooom? Gut da por day!" :-> )
• Boris and Natasha: The Movie (terribly unsucessful and terribly underrated)
• The Singing Detective (actually a British TV mini-series, but even so, quite a film)
• I totally agree with Mirari about the dance numbers in Summer Stock. It has some great performers, too Gene and Judy of course, plus Phil Silvers and Eddie Bracken.
• A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
• (and so many other musicals I don't have time to list)

Good heavens. That is an embarassingly long list. But they're all really good. See them. Right. Good. Emerie

Miss Conginiality I know I didn't spell that right but its 12:30 in the morning and i don't care. This movie is hilarius. It sandra bulock and I laughed my ass off for an hour and a half! Ok that WAS an over state ment but it was VERY good and QUITE funny. I recomend it to all of you.

-Ruth

I could go on all day about movies I love (GhostbustersAustinPowersApollo13ArmyofDarknessFerrisBullersDayOffAmericanBeautyTheTrumanShow), but I think I'll just mention a couple of really recent movies that I totally dug. Not only are they pretty recent, they're all kids movies. And they totally shouldn't be discredited for that. One of the reasons they're so great is that they were able to entertain both my little brother and me. They all have elements he liked, and more mature undertones that I got in to...

• The Grinch I love Jim Carrey, and I think they totally did the book/cartoon justice. The two complaints I'd have are that there were a few too many toilet humor jokes (That being said they were mixed in with some really great subtle more mature jokes), and the singing.. other than that, it was really wonderful and gave me that warm fuzzy feeling!

• The Emporers New Groove I love this movie entirely too much. It's a surprise to me, because I went in expecting the usual Disney tripe, and instead I got a really great comedy. My one complaint is that the Emperor is SO much like David Spade that the whole movie I couldn't help but picture him standing in a little sound booth reciting his lines.

• Titan AE and The Iron Giant These are kinda oldish by now, but they're both really great. Really undercredited and far better than any Disney movie. The animation in both, altho' not incredibly beautiful, is so simplistic that it's relaxing to watch and the stories in both are really mature and well done. I totally end up feeling for the characters in both.

• The Maxx Okay, this isn't really so much a movie. It's a video containing all the episodes of the short lived 'Maxx' TV show on MTV. 'The Maxx' is actually a comic book, one which I read regularly and love to death, but the TV show did a PERFECT job of interpruting the first 10 issues or so of the comic book. It's a really mind bending video, and it will totally mess with your head. The premise is original, and actually has meaning to it. If you read all the comics (Which I highly recommend you do) the quality of the story really shines, as does the prespective the author places on our world.

Yay for all that.

-Zen

Updating cuz a) I was scanning people's lists. And b) I just have to say Finding Forrester IS KICKIN' INCREDIBLE movie. Just saw it with a friend today.

Lion King*, American Beauty, Dead Poets Society, 10 Things I Hate About You, She's All That, Ferris Buller's Day Off, Boys Don't Cry, Sliding Doors, Girl Interrupted The American President, Mulan (* = love the music too), Lion King II, Cruel Intentions, The Sound Of Music, The Next Best Thing (soley for Ben Bratt. In general it was an okay movie), Meet Joe Black just to name the ones that come to mind. :) tiffany ps the bold in this paragraph just means no one else put that movie down on their list

movies that Lydia ® loves:

• American Beauty (this movie always makes me sad. I get something out of it that I can't explain. so good!)
• Nightmare Before Christmas (I'm so obsessed with this movie at the moment, it's so good. well done, and the soundtrack is awesome!)
• Fight Club (gory, but so good. definitely a mind twister)
• Muppets from Space (the muppets rule all!)
• Cat's Don't Dance (okay, so I like kid movies.. shoot me)
• The Grinch (it was so great!)
• 10 Things I hate about you (it's a teeny boper flick, but it's hella cool!)

I think that's all for now.. at least all that I'm adding now. I'll add more when I get a chance.

cloe's favourites: Strictly Ballroom: Australian flick, sheer brilliance. Features a classic story line ugly duckling girl turns into swan and lots of ballroom dancing. Paul Mercurio plays the lead role, Scott Hastings. Paul is a gem of a man, a gem of an actor and one hell of a diamond of a dancer. Muriel's Wedding: Another Australian flick, starring the woman who played the mom in The Sixth Sense, I can't remember her name at the moment. In any case, it's a feel-good-movie that leaves you with a little taste of downunder. Dead Poet's Society: emotional emotional movie *sobbing* The Green Mile: see above comment The Big Lebowski: Dude, the Cohen Brothers films rock hardcore. I love this movie. White Russians and bowling balls, man. "Shut the fuck up!" American Beauty: Geez, if you havent seen it, go rent it! I bought the dvd and have watched it so many times...Kevin Spacey is a god in my eyes. This movie is so beautiful. So beautiful. Austin Powers I & II: Damn, they're just funny! "My mother was a 15 year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet." Man, I'm too tired. I'll add more later.

Miranda's listie

Boys Don't Cry - trannie boy tries to live as himself and gets what every red-neck thinks he deserves. definently bring someone to hang onto (I didn't, very Very bad move) Beautiful Thing Awwwwwww! boy meets boy, true love, Awwwwwwww! Stonewall story of stonewall(duh), from a dq. M. Butterfly guy falls in love, people die, very very good The Crying Game he's still in love with her! I Know it! Elizabeth happy girl turns into stone goddess who has to kill people. Sliding Doors sleazy-boy cheats on pretty-girl, pretty-girl meets funky scottish-boy. or maybe sleazy-boy cheats on pretty-girl, pretty-girl doesn't know and stays with sleazy-boy, meets funky scottish-boy latter. Dead Poets Society - excuse me while I go pull this large serated emotional Knife out of my chest. The Talented Mr. Ripley gotta love 'dem psychotic geniuses. Cabaret not a shippy show. really Really not a shippy show.

sound of moth salivating moooovies, me says. for the Soul! tasty tasty. lets try again, eh? cough american beauty (teariness.)

being john malkovich raises eyebrow casually and then bursts into laughter

fight club (watch it a few times. last scene in slow-motion. lots of peach pie handy.)

pulp fiction (fantastic film, so says me. very specific mood.)

run lola run (very odd. very german. i want her hair.)

Jesus Christ superstar (incredible soundtrack, too)

casablanca (beauty. loved it since i was a wee lass.)

dogma (hilariously obscene. says a lot more than you'd think.)

alice in wonderland (disney)

led zeppelin, "the song remains the same" (an orgasmically ducky recording of live performances in new york, as well as band-families, bandmembers being weird, and robert plant. yum.)

french kiss (good frenchiness and canadianism. lots of laughs. ask me and erin to quote it for you sometime.)

la vita e bella (it's true.)

the sound of music (what can i say? como?)

sliding doors (got my idea for this haircut. super cute.)

breakfast at tiffany's (totally sentimental. woof.)

strange brew (talk about canadianism. to the max. uh... eh. that adrian introduced/subjected me to it when he was here. good times.)

i'll think of more.

word... up?

-moth

The disturbing but really good:

• Titus- modren interpritation of Shakespeare, see only if you can stand the blood and guts
• Fight Club- really disturbing
• Interview with the Vampire
• Americian Beauty
• Sweeney Todd- hehe. This ones a musical, the London version was vidiotaped and avialable at some rental places, but if you get a chance to see it live, do it.

Warmer and Fuzzyer movies:

• Velvet Goldmine- yeah so its artsy i still like it
• The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
• Beautiful Thing
• Kiss me Guido
• The Celluloid Closet
• Torch Song Trilogy
• It's In The Water[2]
• Good Will Hunting
• The Sixth Sense
• Thelma and Louise
• Labrynth
• Waking Ned Divine- I highly reccomend this... very funny.
• Tales of the City- A TV series(out on vidio) based on a book series which is also really good

I'll probably add a lot more as I remember them. This page brought out the movie critic in me and you'll never be safe again... -Susannah

• Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!(beeesst movie)

-NickV

• Requiem For A Dream... vivid and jarring, this movie left me dazed and shaken; it was like being punched in the gut. It's a story about four drug addicts and what happens to them. Very intense, but absolutely amazing. Darren Aronofsky is one of the best fucking directors I've ever seen.
• Dancer in the Dark... it's about an childwoman immigrant, who is working in a factory and harbors a sad secret she is slowly going blind. She's trying to save up enough money for her son to have an operation, so he won't have to suffer the same fate. Then everything goes downhill when a neighbor accuses her of stealing his money, and escalates to a tragic finale. This is the only movie that left me sobbing like a baby in the theater, not caring what anyone thought of me. A wonderful, wonderful movie.
• Nell... about a mentally handicapped grown who lives like a "wild child", all alone in the woods, and the people who are studying her from afar. I cried pretty hard at this movie, too. Jodie Foster does a lovely job acting in this one.
• Contact... Jodie Foster again! This movie is based on Carl Sagan's book, and is about a woman scientist who discovers an encoded message from outer space, and her search for the beings behind it... Very intellectual movie, and well done.
• Cinema Paradiso... Foreign film about a little boy who learns how to run a film projecter and help out in a local cinema. I didn't apprieciate it when I first saw it (mom used to get foreign films from the library in order to enrich our minds, back when we were bratty little homeschoolers. We hated them!) but now I remember it being really good, and I definitely want to see it again.
• Children of Heaven... Another foreign film! This one is about two children in Iran, brother and sister, and how the boy runs a race to win a pair of shoes when his sister loses her pair. Very understated, and not dramatic at all, but it was so very powerful to me.
• The Lion King... I don't usually like Disney movies, but this one is just classic. The music is beautiful, the story is powerful, and the characters will always be remembered.
• Lolita... A movie about an almost-middle-aged man and a thirteen-year-old girl who end up in a relationship, traveling around the United States together. It was so very well done, and I liked it a lot.
• Dead Poet's Society... There's a whole fucking lot to this movie. A lot to say about our society, our schools, and the ignorance of what is really important. One those movies you come out in a kind of disturbed quiet.

I like movies that jar me, disturb me, make me think. I like intellectual movies, but also ones that make me laugh. I like movies that I can cry over, and ones that I come away with feeling like I've gained something from watching them. Yeah. Muah.

• The Seventh Seal - Okay, I'm not really a big classic film person or anything, and to be honest, I didn't think that a very famous, old, black and white, foreign film about the plague! would be a fantastically good time, but DAMN, this is every bit as brilliant and delightful to see as any justly-famed piece of art should be.

• Labyrinth
• The Hunchback of Notre Dame - whatever my feelings about Disney the corporation, they have the talent to do some really good stuff. This movie was refreshingly dark, for a Disney big picture animation.
• Toy Story I and Toy Story II (A sequel that's maybe even better than the original! Possibly a first!)
• Contact - You've got to understand the appeal this movie holds for someone who wants to talk to dolphins <smile>.
