Heresy, it's magnificently edited and full of subtly crafted details such as bond's hawaian shirt changing colour in every shot and diving masks being black when baddies wear them and turning blue when the good guys steal them and wear them (the inner blueness of goodness instantly rubbing off on them). It has my favorite bond editing.

(Plus the little helmet, for the jetpack at the beginning, because safety is important.)

The ones that come to mind now are "The Spy Who Loved Me", "Never Say Never, Ever" and "From Russia With Love".

And if you like espionage themed, you may already have seen "The French Connection".

Frankly, I was disappointed that it was merely "good." From the hype I would have expected something amazing. But it wasn't amazing. Nothing about it really stood out. Not the acting, the script, the music, or the plot. Everything was perfectly acceptable... nothing more. Then again, it's not intended to be a masterpiece. It's Joss Whedon and his friends (and relatives) having some good-quality fun on a low budget. And in that sense it was pretty enjoyable, if a little lifeless. I liked it, but I probably would have liked it more if I hadn't come into it with such high expectations.

For me, there is only one Bond Movie: Goldfinger!

"You expect me to talk?" - "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"

Goldfinger was #3 and compared to Thunderball #4 it was by far superior.

It's time I bring my contribution to the thread : this is the place I visit since quite some time when I search for a movie and here are some I remember enjoying, hoping you''ll do so.

Memento (with carrie ann moss and some dudes) : when my memory flushes itself (alcohol consumption not mandatory for this outcome .... shyte happens and old age too), my first reflex is to watch it. Each time's a pleasure.

Fight Club : I know the opinions towards this movie are polarised but I appreciate Edrad Noritt a lot so I kinda love it. Marla too.

Leon (or 'Leon the professional' for the foreign version as I learned) is one classic.

'Johnny Mnemonic' (not sure it's the same title everywhere) : because I'm a 'body count' fan (or was when 15 ... I should read the lyrics now that I'm englishable to see if it sticks to my principles). I saw somewhere in this thread someone linking Zardoz and Matrix ....'Johnny mnemonic' is the missing link.

Right now I don't have anything coming to my mind that I would blindly recommend. Is there a pattern in my 4 items list ? Am I obviously missing something ? loading canceled, please refresh.

edit: typo and 'johnny' not 'jimmy'

Django Unchained. Brilliant.

Take a John Wayne movie, mix it with a Clint Dollars move, add a dash of Blazing Saddles, give it to head Chef tarantino to cook and you wind up with Django Unchained.

Dark City ?

That's right. I know many people that despise this movie. I enjoyed it a lot. Great atmosphere.

The world is not enough.

Cringeworthy.

And Sophie Marceau is the worst actress of these last 50 years.

They Live. I heard a certain recent game had ripped off its plot and I decided to check it out.

It's really good. The whole premise is fascinating, it's funny (especially that fight scene halfway through) and the acting does a good job too.

I always heard about John Carpenter but never watched much of his stuff. Only Vampires when I was a kid and didn't care for it, then a couple of months back I watched In the Mouth of Madness which, despite not really being scary, was a very good and interesting movie. After that one and now They Live I've been planning to watch the rest of his movies.

He's truly capable of the best and the worst, but even the worst stays immensely sympathic, in a perpetually juvenile, naive way : he always gives the impression to enjoy very much what he does, even when clumsy, and I find this very infectious.

Both Halloween and The Thing are good if you like horror films. I remember The Fog being moderately entertaining too.

Men in Black

I wasn't a huge fan of MiB II or MiB III, but since the original was a favorite of my fiancee's when she was little, we decided to watch it together. And I was pleasantly surprised. It was fun. Not amazing, but enjoyable silly fun. And best of all, it kept everything very focused and was aware of the fact that it was silly fun and no more. I expected it would pad out its story with woefully bland and cliched interpersonal conflicts like the other two films, but it didn't. No romantic subplot, no overplayed emotional drama, no big falling out halfway through, no big lesson learned at the end. Just Tommy Lee Jones doing his best G-Man impression and Will Smith acting like Will Smith, with no intent of trying to foster anything more than a buddy cop relationship. Thank heavens.

the dark knight returns part 2- I liked part 1; it was really well done but the second part wasn't just as good especially since the superman/batman square off did not quite go as I had envisaged it. I mean I'd rather have bats strangling supes proclaiming "I want you to remember in your private moments my hand at your throat" ...It would've been more trenchant.

Also, why does the police have such terrible aim. I know it's a comic and there must be liberties but that was just terrible. Considering that bats is 60+ they should've shown more instances of him being - not quite at his peak .
