Movie Recomendations
« on: 2007, September 12, 02:18:28 am »
Hey there everyone, recommend a movie here and tell us all why you recommend it.

I would like to recommend MirrorMask. If you like movies with fantastic worlds then this movie is definitely for you. I like to think of it as a modern day "Wizard of OZ." MirrorMask is about Helena, a girl who's family operates and performs in a circus. Helena dreams of living a normal until one day, she is transported to a world of light and dark that she had created with her own imagination. Her only hope of getting home, and stopping Anti-Helena from destroying the world she is trapped in, is by finding the MirrorMask. Other than some scenes that might be scary I couldn't find anything that would keep the whole family from enjoying this movie.

What do you think?

I'm quite sure I watched that movie before! Oni rented or bought it! But I think he rented it because that movie is no longer in the house.

Anywaz, back to the movie. I personally didn't like it. Can't remember exactly why. All I do remember was being bored to death from the movie.

Pan's Laberynth (sp?) sounds good though! I have the movie coming home from Netflix pretty soon.

I was disappointed with Pan's Labyrinth.

Well, it seems like you're fishing for more obscure non-mainstream movies and I can't come up with anything along those lines at the moment =/

I will always push Master and Commander, but that's  just my passion for sailing ships talking ^ ^

and uhm.. I guess sky captain was a fun movie, even if it did get over the top all over the end.

Also try AMERICAN HISTORY X. Yeah, I think that's the title. Well, it's a very good movie- emotionally and mentally. It's one of my favorites!!!!

I'd give Master and Commander a try. I've never seen it before anyways. :)

I've seen it, and it does make you think. It also made me racist. :( Just kidding.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape - It has Johnny Depp and Leonardo DeCaprio from before they were huge. It depressing, but in a nice way.

Shaun of the Dead - Classic. It's actually clever, and has some of the best zombie filming ever.
Logic is a wonderful thing but doesn't always beat actual thought.

Thanks, Master and Commander is a good movie!

As for Sky Captain, it was good, but not worth watching more than once IMO.

Shaun of the Dead was a good movie, one of the best comedies I've seen.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape was really kinda boring IMO.

You might try "Breakfast on Pluto"



Cillian Murphy does  amazing work in this and you are almost sad to have the movie end.

Quote
Breakfast on Pluto, starring the ever-impressive chameleon Cillian Murphy  as an orphaned transvestite in Ireland during the 1960s and ‘70s. After seeing brief passages of his playful struggle to maintain his identity from one boarding school to the next in working class suburbia, we’re swept up in the journey of Patrick, a.k.a. “Kitten,” as he heads to the wilds of London in search of the mother who left him behind.
