Re: Suggest a movie!

I've had a few on my list to suggest for a while now:

Minority Report
Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat II (If you can stomach it.  That's likely to be an entertaining bash-fest)
Street Fighter
Men In Black II
Batman Forever
Batman & Robin (oooooo boy lol)
Chronicle

There's a bunch of more dramatic movies that I would suggest...but I know that's not really DIF's thing.  Those would be a good direction to go in though if you guys ever wanted to pick a movie you can dig deep into the craft of storytelling over (not to say you haven't before but maybe dig even deeper).  While I enjoy the technical and purely entertaining commentaries, I really enjoy it every time conversations sway into the difficult craft of storytelling, structure, good dialog vs bad dialog, etc.  I would love to see you start doing more movies where they lend themselves to that sort of focus.

Re: Suggest a movie!

The Amazing Spider-Man? I only say this because I got it for Christmas lol Also it will be interesting to see what "The Boys" think about this compared to those other Spider-Man movies.

Re: Suggest a movie!

this is an unusual request given the general age demographic of the DIF crew;  might I suggest you do Lawrence of Arabia.  Or maybe any other David Lean epic.  Just got done watching it.  Great movie!  it is on the long side, but it has an intermission and is well worth it IMHO.

Re: Suggest a movie!

Yeah Heat really needs to be done. It's a fucking masterpiece, and hugely influential. I'm still blown away by how big it manages to feel, completely fleshing out 2 main characters, and like 5-6 side characters, without losing track of the story its telling. Also, extremely realistic, I've heard that some military instructors used the shot of Val Kilmer on the fly reloading his rifle in like 2 seconds and continuing to fire as an example to teach trainees how it should be done.

You watch a more recent heist flick like The Town, which had great reviews, and it's like "Wow, this is like Heat except none of the characters are as fleshed out or interesting, the action isn't as impressive, and it's smaller scale".

I found Iron Sky to be unwatchable. I'm sure some folks worked really hard and did some great work on it, but it's a cinematic mess (and really quite awkward to watch).

You have my vote for Heat though. Perhaps you can do a double bill with The Town as avatar hints at above?

Re: Suggest a movie!

I wouldn't mind seeing a couple more superhero movies..................Amazing Spider-Man and Dark Knight Rises as a double bill?

Or the really crappy ones i.e. Batman and Robin or Daredevil

Iron Sky is an insane, flawed, but fun movie.
