  Tank Girl, under-rated 90s, fun punk feminist cult classic.

  Only movie I watched was Dobermann a french 90s trashy action gangster movie. Very fun to watch, would recommend

  Only watched one and it was the Flash, so, um… yeah…

  • BertramDitore@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yeah, I watched that a while ago, and damn the CGI contractors must have been abused and underpaid or something. Some of the the worst CGI I’ve seen in years. Stuff from 15-20 years ago was more convincing. I don’t blame the artists at all, I doubt they would choose to release something like that if they had any real power over their work.

      I actually laughed out loud at the Babies in Danger^tm scene. I’m not sure it was supposed to be THAT funny, but the CGI was so awful you couldn’t NOT laugh at it.

      I think they blew the budget on making the two Ezra’s look decent.

    I watched The Flash as my one movie last week too. Oops.

  Finally saw Dazed and Confused. Other than a couple pretty extreme bullying/abuse scenes it’s a really cozy slice of life.

    I just dived into some Linklater too! I watched Before Sunrise and Me and Orson Welles. I love Linklater’s portrayals of youthful optimism. They make me excited for the future.

  Lifeforce is pretty gold. Oldie but goldie.

  • ours@lemmy.film ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Such a crazy concept movie. And with quite the budget on top.

  The Red Turtle

  Basically, we saw a giant turtle and Studio GhibliI so decides to watch. I was with my youngest daughter and we both enjoyed it a lot.

  • greensage@lib.lgbt ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    That’s been on my list to watch for a while!

• JimmyChanga@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Not exactly a new release but got round to watching The Darkest Hour. Gary Oldman’s Winston Churchill was great.

  source

  • Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I still have to watch it, but the make up looks amazing

    source

    • JimmyChanga@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It really is, I honestly thought Oldman had maybe just gained the weight.

  I watched The Dark Knight (2008) for the first time just now. It was a film that I wanted to watch for a while.

  Aside from the Two-Face scenes, which get old very quickly, I think that the Dark Knight is an absolute banger of a film.

  I watched Amsterdam, a 2022 comedy/mystery set in the 1930s, starring Margot Robbie and Christian Bale and a big cast of others including Mike Myers, Rami Malek, Robert De Niro and Chris Rock.

  It is loosely based on The Business Plot, an actual political conspiracy in the US in the 1930s. I’d never heard of this before.

  It was an interesting and ‘different than the usual’ type of movie. A lot of the focus was on the witty dialogue between characters. Pretty nice movie visually too. Overall I enjoyed it and would give it about 7/10.

    Babylon feels like a similar style too, altho tbh I much prefer Babylon

    source

    • keyez@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Babylon is infinitely better and better executed though they might seem similar. I was put off by the trailer for Babylon just seeming like a big ensemble cast and 1920s extravagance movie but I loved it and showed how shallow Amsterdam was IMO.

    • MusketeerX@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah, that’s on my to watch list.

  Always wanted to see Airplane!, finally got around to it. Gotta say, it was one of the funniest comedies I’ve watched.

  source

  • Kreg@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Now you should watch “Top Secret!”

  • hansl@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Oh? What is it?

  • CmdrShepard@lemmy.one ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You’ll probably enjoy the Naked Gun series if you haven’t seen it already.

  Some Like It Hot (1959)

• Ryan213@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I’ve been on vacation so I rewatched the LOTR trilogy. What a week!!

  source

  • Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Such classics!

  Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It certainly stayed true to its roots, maybe too much so (it took a long time to get where it was going, just like most late 60s movies). I would've said the movie was meandering and meh but the last 10 minutes were my favorite 10 minutes in any movie this year.

  I just finished Destination Wedding and I should've hated it. I thought it was going to be a sunny, goofy romcom but instead it was like the poor man's Woody Allen. Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder were playing way far against type, seemingly miscast. But I enjoyed seeing them in such different roles playing relentlessly miserable weirdos.

  Watched “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (2022)”. An artist’s tough life growing up in rural American in the 50s, and her raise to fame living New York. Her life story is told as back drop to her fight to have the Sacklers’ (family behind the marketing of Oxycodone as a “safe” drug) name removed from Art galleries around the world.

  Landscape With Invisible Hand (2023)

  It’s a satire about a young artist coming to terms with major societal changes after a semi-benevolent alien invasion. And do yourself a favor: don’t watch the trailers. Drop into this one cold.

• NENathaniel@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Requiem for a Dream for sure. That shit fucks you up

  source
• keyez@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  They Cloned Tyrone. Was invested in every minute and was a very well done movie and great concept.

  source
• Kikkertje@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  The Last Voyage of the Demeter - was an interesting take on the old Dracula legend. The movie had great atmosphere and some solid performances.

  source
• Coldgoron@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Greyhound, short and sweet with a lot of Tom Hanks but well done overall. Problem is its only on apple tv +, as far as I know.

  I finally watched Freeway 2: Confessions of Trickbaby. I loved it even though its pretty offensive for also being super progressive for its time. Totally not what I ever expected either.

  It’s a big deal to finally watch it because it was one of those VHS covers I would see at the rental store growing up and I was dying to see it but there was no way my mom was going to let me watch a movie that was rated R. So it was always a mystery what the movie was for a long time and I really only knew that it had Natasha Lyonne in it who at the time, I had a crush on.

  Bigbug - robot uprising comedy. Killer.
