What's the Last Movie You Watched?

[Houston]

I took a Hitchcock class this semester so I've seen 21 Hitchcock movies now. I can really appreciate him at his best, and maybe I'm burnt out from over-exposure but I'm not a big fan of some of his implausible popcorn flicks that are built around set pieces.

1. Psycho
2. Vertigo
3. Shadow of a Doubt
4. Rope
5. Saboteur
6. The Lady Vanishes
7. Blackmail
8. North by Northwest
9. Rear Window
10. The Ring
11. Lifeboat
12. The 39 Steps
13. The Lodger
14. The Man Who Knew Too Much
15. Notorious
16. Strangers on a Train
17. The Birds
18. Frenzy
19. Rebecca
20. To Catch a Thief
21. The Trouble With Harry

Interesting that you have Saboteur over North By Northwest. Glad to see Rope get some love, it's my 2nd favorite of his behind Notorious.

Inherit the Wind

Awesome.

"...The only man I've ever known who could strut sitting down." - Best line ever from Gene Kelly's character.

Spencer Kelly and Fredric March playing off each other was gold.

North by Northwest is probably the best-made overall in the "you've got the wrong guy so I'm going to go all over the fucking place to all these coincidentally awesome set pieces until I kill the guy that actually did it" genre. But after watching them chronologically that genre gets kind of tiring after a while, especially knowing that it became a movie because Hitchcock thought up a scene where some dude was in Lincoln's nose, then he decided he'd get attacked by a plane, then they wrote a plot around it.

Saboteur has an extremely similar structure that came out 17 years before and had a little depth behind it at least with some political messages.

Kung Fu movie with English subtitles but hell these 2 movies were pretty fucking awesome. He was the man who trained Bruce Lee.

For some reason, the pics aren't showing up for me, but it sounds like you're talking about the 'Ip Man' movies. If so,

I watched Tyrannosaur because of dell's review and I think someone recommended it to me a long, long time ago (Palooza maybe?). Really well done on all fronts. I can't see myself being compelled to ever watch it again, but I don't think the actors, writer, or director could have done a better job than what they produced.



I can see how the original The Omen may have pioneered some horror conventions (like the entire Final Destination franchise) but I just didn't think it was good enough to be considered a classic. There were definitely some high points, but there were pretty drastic tonal shifts throughout the whole thing, got pretty silly at times.
All of the horror movies I've seen that preceded it I thought were waaayyyy better, so I wouldn't even give it the benefit of the doubt in paving the way in the genre for better films. (Psycho, Rosemary's Baby, Diabolique, Exorcist, Jaws, Peeping Tom, Black Christmas)

Just watched Lawless, I thought it was a pretty good film nothing great.


Jessica Chastain nude was pretty good.

[Seven]

Pineapple Express again, always hits the spot

[EmpireWF]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Absolutely fantastic/10

Hell yeah, it was.

Just started the book, the same guy wrote/directed the film.

[Palooza]

Pitch Perfect - surprisingly good/10
10 Years - nothing noteworthy (outside of Oscar Issac's performance)/10
The Words - pathetically boring/10

[Twigg4075]

Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter

7/10

The story was of course ridiculous but the action was top notch. It's expected though since it's the same director that brought us Wanted.

[NAHSTE]

Trouble With the Curve

Baseball movie scale: 3/10
RomCom scale: 10/10

SIZZLING on-screen chemistry between JT and Amy. SIZZLING.

I've been watching a lot of those animated Batman movies recently and they are AWESOME! Can't wait for Batman: Return of The Dark Knight Part 2. Can't get enough of these movies.
