ROBO COP original version blue ray style. Not that awful remake. Still a fantastic movie with effects that are passable even today though some effects are laughable most arer okay. Great actors, epic story !

Not to mention a phenomenal soundtrack!

Since I don't have a TV. I tend not to watch many movies currently. However, I do have some digital copies and have just got through watching the brilliant Crimson Tide and Hunt for Red October.

My dads most favorite movie besides Das Boot.

Personally, I don't have a list of good movies that I've watched because I'm a liker of most things and I tend to see lots of positive things in all sorts of media.

But well, there is one movie in the last 2 years that in my opinion stood out. Its a animated japanese movie called In this corner of the World which is about the last days of the second world war from the japanese perspective. Its fairly incredible even for a animated movie.

Whats more incredible is that the director is known for writing incredibly cheesy and childrish stuff (its the sole reason why games such as Ace Combat are such likeable experiences). But on the other hand you have him writing this movie, which pretty much was one the most talked thing in anime related podcasts once the surfaced. It also shows that its sometimes, or even often, futile to simply put people into mere boxes so you can judge them on a surface level as lots of people tend to do.

Went to see "It Chapter Two" at the cinema the other day and really enjoyed it which I was glad about since I've read the book about 5 times. Came home after and watched something called "Chill" on DVD. It didn't look like it had much of a budget but was surprisingly good. Based on Lovecraft.

Watched "Hell Fest" last night because Netflix recommended it to my husband. It's about a killer stalking people round a horror themed funfair. I'm not usually in to films about non-supernatural killers but enjoyed this one.

That's a good comparison indeed.

Did you like it? I went to see it on a IMAX 3D cinema when it came out with high expectations, and frankly it left me empty, especially as it ended in a cliffhanger advertising its sequels (or TV series?). At parts some fights were entertaining, but meh overall... Maybe I just wasn't part of the target audience, it seemed to be so much targeted towards teenagers.

I have to relate to someone who said he has hard time thinking of recent movies he felt are great. I have no idea if it is just me becoming old and jaded, or are almost all new high-profile movies lame, meh and overly politically correct? And at worst, preachy? Like when I watched one of my old favorites (The Hitcher, the 80s version), I just kept thinking "Man, why don't they make great movies like this anymore?". I was quite surprised how well the movie has aged, it felt very powerful to me even today.

I especially have hard time enjoying all the recent superhero movies, as those are mostly what new action movies seem to be about. Went to see Avengers Endgame with my wife since it seemed to be praised everywhere... but I was mostly bored watching it, and half of the movie flew over my head as it was full of references to characters and happenings from some earlier superhero movies I haven't seen.

Joker trailer convinced me though that maybe I should go to see that movie in a theater. Maybe I will like it. Then again, it amuses me how they keep reinventing the origins of different characters in movies; remember how Joker's origin was depicted in the 1989 Batman movie? He was the crook who killed Batman's parents, and he became what he is due to falling down into some big pan of toxic waste LOL.

This is why I stopped watching The Flash/Arrow because I wasn't watching Supergirl/DC's legends of tomorrow and at some point the crossovers just got too much and started to ruin it.

Huh? There are people who still watch movies?

Unfortunately, I have PDS*, so I haven´t seen a good movie in a long time. The last one was Blade Runner 2049. But after that nothing.


*Perpetual Disappointment Syndrome

Really enjoyed Outlander with John Hurt. I think its been more than a year since I last watched it but I like the overall storyline and character interaction... the ending.

Theres a film with Samo Hung, God of War which I felt was watchable. Depends on whether you can be bothered with an ancient China movie.

On that note, I watched sekigahara and I thought it was a low budget movie. Some of the battle depictions where people fire muskets at each other from 30m is bad. Was more fun watching rurouni kenshin 1, 2 and 3.

The last Witchhunter was fun.

New hellboy movie was enjoyable.

Some that I watched very recently (the newer movies), and some of them I watched again after 10 to 20 years.

Dark (Netflix series, and no, it’s not like Stranger Things at all!)

Aniara

EXistenZ (you can never go wrong with David Cronenberg movies, the movie trailer is shit, though)

Solaris (the original Tarkovsky masterpiece)

Stalker (another Tarkovsky film)

Saga of Tanya the Evil anime movie was pretty fun, though obviously you should watch the original anime series first.

John Carter - was all right.

No Country for Old Men - I didn't personally care for.

Well... its the last movie of a twentytwoology which starts with Iron Man. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe#Feature_films

Some of them could be watched stand alone. Most of them even. But Infinity War / Endgame is kind of the final two parter that brings it all together and to an end.

After a 100 years history of stand alone or short lived series of movies I'm extremely glad that something like that gets done.
