The last movie I watched was The King of Comedy, wherein Scorsese does the impossible by making Jerry Lewis and Sandra Berhard tolerable.
Seriously though, Its a great, really dark movie that you guys should totally check out.

We watched Mr. & Mrs. Smith last night (I'd seen it before but my husband hadn't). It's a silly movie about a married couple that work for competing "agencies" but I simply love the wacky way they express their love for each other. It's very, very violent in a completely hilarious, video-game non-reality way - so if you don't like that then this movie isn't for you ;-p

From the current crop of Hollywood/Academy Award movies, Django Unchained was a lot of fun! I do love Quentin Tarantino movies ;-)

A good arthouse cinema is a beautiful thing.

I'm not exactly enthusiastic about the city I live in, but as a movie buff I couldn't have done much better. Biggest multiplex in Europe and a couple of very fine smaller cinemas devoted to indie and art film, including one that has received an honour as the best arthouse cinema in Germany.

I can choose from pretty much anything, from the latest Hollywood 3D extravaganza to Eastern German erotic flicks from the 70s and almost completely unheard of C-horror stuff. In this month alone I have attended/will attend, among others, screenings of Truffaut's Jules and Jim (there's a Truffaut retrospective going on, actually), Malick's Badlands, Antonioni's The Passenger (part of a series of road movies), a matinee screening of Welles' F for Fake complete with introductory speech, the documentary Leviathan and Wong Kar-Wai's latest.

Highlights of the past include a screening of my favourite movie with live piano accompaniment, Pasolini's Accattone with subsequent discussion led by some appropriate expert and a few premieres where the directors were present to answer questions.

Once I've moved away I'll miss my cinemas more than anything else!

Anyway, Wong Kar-Wai's latest, The Grandmaster. I think that's something you people here could really enjoy. A kung fu flick with a bit of torrid romance thrown in, in the director's typical ludicrously beautiful style and with a just as typically gorgeous score. Watch it. It's good.

Yep, it's fantastic. The one Kubrick movie that remains among my very favourites.

Last movie I watched was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I have trouble sitting through most movies anymore, but the classic Indy trilogy always makes me sit down and shut up for two hours.

"You call this archaeology?"

Last movie I saw was "A Good Day To Die Hard". The original is one of my favorite movies of all time, but this insulting atrocity deserves to be treated like the stupid piece of garbage it is.

Avoid like the plague. I would sooner see Skeletonman (top contender for worst movie I've ever seen) again than this, since at least that crap isn't taking a dump on a beloved series.

Excellent movie. If you enjoyed it, I would recommend "I Saw the Devil" - possibly the best revenge movie ever made.

Watched Dark Shadows
Thought it was pretty much trash

You're not done until you watch the whole 'Vengeance Trilogy":
1. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002)
2. Oldboy (2003) - which you already watched
3. Lady Vengeance (2005)

Rewatched The Elephant Man (1980) - it always has the same strong emotional impact on me like the first time I watched it.

With an unrecognisable John Hurt as the Elephant Man - highly recommended.

Stranger Than Fiction. It stars Will Farrell, but while it has its funny moments it is most definitely a drama. With an all-star cast, including Emma Thompson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Queen Latifah, and many others, this is one of the best movies I've ever seen and I enjoy it more every time I see it. I urge anyone who enjoys a good story about the nature of life to see this film.

Chernaya Molniya (2009, Russia) :

Moscow, 2004, and wealthy entrepreneur Kuptsov is drilling in the underground part of the city, trying to reach a huge diamond vein. And his drilling is threatening to destroy the city. However he does not have enough power and he needs a Nano-catalyst developed years ago but its location is unknown. Meanwhile, in another part of the city Dima dreams about owning a car and dating his gorgeous college mate Nastya. His wealthy friend Maks has a Mercedes Benz and is flirting with Nastya which only frustrates him even more. On his birthday, Dima finally gets a car from his parents - but he is ashamed of it. The car, however is capable of much more.

Great movie.

The Grandmaster (2013, China) :

Watataaa wata wata. Beautiful movie about Yip Man's life (Bruce Lee's master).

Watched Gravity over the weekend with my dad. Visually it's very impressive, and I was totally immersed (I badly wanted to be an astronaut as a kid and loved watching NASA documentaries and stuff). The special effects and direction is excellent but some of the dialogue and quieter scenes aren't that good. Although I saw it in 3D, the implementation of 3D in the film was pretty bad (at least for the showing I went to). But the science in the film... it's best to turn off your brain while watching it. My dad was especially disappointed in all the bad science in the film. There's one particular scene that violated the laws of physics pretty badly in order to advance the plot that disappointed us most. That scene was the hardest part of the film to forgive. But as long as you don't care about that kind of stuff you ought to appreciate the film.

Citizen Kane

Latest was Battle Royale (2000). With Japanese voice and English subtitles.

I can see that this is not a movie for everyone since it is quite violent and drastic visually. I would call it stomach churning but not for the blood and death rampaging but for the oppressing plot/situation and the human drama that unfolds. A real piece of art that uses the starting position and the resulting outbreak of violence as a metaphor for social pressures that young people are exposed to today (survival of the fittest in ways of managing your life in any aspect - school, job, relationship). It exposes the hidden totalitarianism of modern society in applying these pressures.

I know it's based on a book, and there's a manga too. Since I only know the movie I can't say how it compares.
Battle Royale made it on my fav list at once but it's one of those movies that I won't watch over and over (like Pitch Black - just love it) - for me it's not entertaining but mental work.

I just watched Thor: The Dark World, it was really good. Plenty of humorous touches to the script, exciting action set-pieces, and very nice special effects, I like the way they brought the world of Asgard to life. And at least you don't have to wait too long for the mid-credits tease. But probably my favorite part was the trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, that's one film I'm now definitely looking forward to seeing.
