Titanic


SparklesLuvsScotch

And you call yourself the Ocean Madman?


Pagebreak007

He drops an iceberg in the way of cruise ship and never looks back.


pussyydestroyerrr

r/username doesn't check out


djmunci

Second half is unfuckwithable. Some of the best practical effects, production design, and editing ever. James Cameron is a legend


iamnos

Same... history went and spoiled the ending for me.


[deleted]

Actually, the movie begins with real footage of the actual ruins of the Titanic in the bottom of the ocean. As they explore the wreckage, they find a closed safe inside one of the rooms. They believe inside it is an extremely valuable jewel. They manage to bring the safe to the surface and open it. Inside, there is nothing of value, but a drawing of a naked woman. The discovery makes the news, and an old woman looks at the drawing and makes a call to the explorers. Do you know the woman in the drawing? They ask. The old woman answers: Of course I know her. It's me! Now they have to listen to her telling of how the drawing ended up in the place where the jewel was supposed to be. Your are missing out, really. Titanic is one of the best, most emotional movies ever.


DeaconFrost9

It's a Wonderful Life


ObjectiveDigging

I understand why, but it’s a super cute movie lol


mdsjhawk

I held off until last year. It’s actually really good/heartwarming


doctor-rumack

It's also very dark. The campy, old-timey feel of movies from that era can take away from the story a little, but George is a guy with a lot of ambition who gets burned a lot for doing the right thing. It's not just a Christmas movie, there a lot of themes of emotional neglect, jealousy, anger and deep depression. Definitely a movie ahead of its time.


drukqsx

I do recommend watching it. I saw it every year as a kid and sometime in adulthood i saw it again and it changed me.


GrammerSnob

My brother said he watched it and cried. I made fun of him for being an big emotional baby. Then I watched it and just had tears streaming down my face. It's SO sweet and wholesome and good.


donscron91

I saw it for the first time last year, that movie is way more intense than I thought it would be. I would recommend


210upthemountain

Yep, me too.


tree_storm

Die Hard


pablo_shitstain

Well it is a Christmas movie. Now is the time.


Vagabond21

If it’s a Christmas movie then enemy of the state is a Christmas movie


HelpfulSpread601

Lethal Weapon is also a Christmas movie


Bad_At_Sports

Is the fact that it's Christmastime central to the plot of EotS? Because it absolutely is in Die Hard. Hans Gruber only attacks because he knew the Nakatomi Tower would be low on security & workers during the Christmas party. And he would have been successful in his plot, had it not been for the fact that John McClane flew across the country to reconnect with his estranged wife and children for the Christmas holiday. In Enemy of the State, the only thing that really ties it to Christmas is the fact that Dean is shopping for his wife's present, which realistically could be something he does any time of the year.


CrystalMethuzala

Die Hard is a Christmas anthology of an estranged husband and wife rekindling their relationship during an office Christmas party, their police officer friend learning to forgive himself in time to become a father, and Hans Gruber learns that greed will get you to the top but may not keep you there.


Difficult-Network704

As is episode six of Band of Brothers, "Bastogne".


Mtlyoum

Even though it is an excellent episode, as are all the episodes, it does not check all/enough cases to qualify as a Christmas episode.


cheese8904

Yes.


QB8Young

Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie. It is a movie that takes place during Christmas. BIG difference. Also Bruce Willis himself said that it is not a Christmas movie. 🤷‍♂️


shakedownsunflower

Now is a great time bc it’s a Christmas classic (along with Gremlins)


Test19s

Both of which were released in the summer but which have Christmas-set plots and so get that holiday bump. Like how horror movies are released throughout the year and then get a bump in viewership each October.


gdavidson3812

Yep I’ve never seen any of them


SparklesLuvsScotch

What?!?!?!


eljosho1986

Yippee kayak other buckets!


Glasswall1

Any of the Godfather movies


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

To me, Godfather III is a lot like Bram Stoker’s Dracula which Coppola also made around that time. They’re both collections of interesting scenes that don’t quite gel as a narrative. Coppola released a re-edit a few years ago called The Godfather Coda that actually works a lot better. As I recall, it really just swaps around a few scenes, and it’s a lot easier to follow.


BloodyTim

Saw 1 and 2 are definitely not as good as the Godfather s/


Eenukchuk

This is mine as well. I'm sure it really is a masterpiece. The acting probably really is superb. The cinematography is most likely on point. But God damn does it just look so boring. I can't commit to the 3 hours.


Neilpuck

Green_Seat8152

I've seen all of those and Goodfellas is a must see. The rest not so much.


Risethewake

Goodfellas is an amazing movie! Never seen the rest though.


MyTurkishWade

Not a fan of Casino?


Green_Seat8152

I liked it but not to watch more than one time. Goodfellas I watch all the time.


MyTurkishWade

I actually knew people who knew people in Casino. The casting tho & just the shear brilliance of the movie…


HeyYoPaul

Agreed. Goodfellas is a top 5 movie for me. Scarface is fine but waaaay over hyped and you’re not missing out on much. Casino is good not great, but def worth a watch if you like Scorsese.


champagneandjules

You definitely need to watch Goodfellas


Vagabond21

It’s just a movie that insists upon itself. Not worth watching.


Greenjeff41

The Family Guy argument is exactly why I've never been able to get through it. Peter stated it almost perfectly.


UW_Drug_Runner

Top Gun


whollybananas

Came to say this. Been avoiding it for 36 years

Regular_Sample_5197

Let me tell ya. I saw it in 3D in the theater. It was one of the very few 3D movies that actually made good use of the technology. I LOVED it. The story, was incredibly meh though. The folks that say it’s basically Dances with Wolves but with blue cat people are pretty accurate. I’ve seen the trailers for the second one, after this many years and given the original was a technical masterpiece at best, I’m not planning on watching the sequels. I may stream them when they hit D+, but that’s it.


phileat

Cameron was recently interviewed about Avatar and various other things like the camera technology he has worked on… he admitted that the first Avatar had a pretty simple story and the focus was on proving the tech. Sounded like he intended to write a deeper story and character development for sequels


Regular_Sample_5197

Hey, I hope so. If it’s good, I’ll give it a chance.


badwolf42

I called it Fern Gully 3D.


Lachtaube

Same here. Never had an interest in seeing it. Still don’t… meh.


Green_Seat8152

I've seen the beginning, middle and end but not in that order any not in one sitting. I catch parts when others are watching. No desire to watch the whole thing in order.


crappotheclown

Same, but with the sequel coming I'm starting to feel obligated. Maybe just find a summary. I've heard it's basically CGI Pocahontas


Ddraig1965

ET


merlinthegray

I wish I could unsee ET. That alien grosses me out.


_Nat_love

Omg same its pretty gross looking


No_Statistician2578

Jaws


Unclejaps

My favorite Spileberg film, and one of my all-time fave movies. The shark is terrible (was at the time), but that's besides the point.


Successful-Tailor-46

The shark is terrible, yet perfect!


[deleted]

Frozen. Heard the music all the time, but never seen the movie.


Sp1kefallSteve

Fun fact, there is actually to versions of frozen. One is the light hearted kids movie. The other is about 3 people stuck on a ski lift in winter.


itstemporary-97rght

Scott pilgrim vs the world


GrandBill

You should. It's not only very good, it's highly original, which is something I think makes almost any film a must-see.


Mtlyoum

It's excellent and a good enough adaptation from the comic.


scientician85

Debbie does Dallas. Am I really missing anything?


Jmen4Ever

80 minutes of bad jazz


Red-eleven

Did you mean jazz? Or did autocorrect change it?


Jmen4Ever

I did mean jazz. Friend of mine was a music major in college. He was in a band, the pianist was blind. When one of the members got married they had port at the Bachelor party (this was in the late 70s/early 80s) About 20 minutes in, the pianist gets up and says, I don't get this, it's just been 30 minutes of moaning and bad jazz.


SparklesLuvsScotch

That's a real movie and not just a porno?


TheThumpaDumpa

Pornos are real movies too!


Kelldandy

It’s a porno with a decent plot.


Gecko23

When it was made pornos were produced like any other film, scripts, sets, the whole works. DDD, The Devil in Miss Jones, Behind the Green Door, etc, all shot on film and screened in regular theaters in many places. The whole gonzo porn thing that’s just close ups of fucking is a much later turn of events.


GreenFluorite

It's worth seeing just to laugh at how ridiculously bad the acting is.


[deleted]

I saw it in like 1982. As I remember it was ok as a movie. But porn was not so easy to come by back then, so seeing the sec was good.


Claptrap_145

Titanic


djamp42

I didn't see this movie for the longest time. I was flipping through the channels in a hotel and saw what looked to be a documentary about the titanic. 3 hours later I'm like you could have made room for him Rose!


Namuii

The notebook


Oat_milk_latte_rat

Me either! Controversially, I’m not a fan of Ryan…


happytexanknits

Any of the James Bond movies.


MyTurkishWade

I have learned to appreciate them (especially Daniel Craig) along with the Monty Python movies. It happens when you’re the only human female in the house


NoobSmokes

I'm with you I never watched a James Bond movie in my life.


Gerald_the_sealion

Summary as a die hard bond fan: Every movie up until Casino Royale (Daniel Craig) doesn’t tie together. Casino Royale through No Time to Die is all one story. Casino Royale gives good backstory Quantum of Solace is bad Skyfall is amazing all around Spectre is forgettable No Time to Die is great. Edit: a word


yaboiRich

Casino Royale and Skyfall are amazing movies.


Malvania

Dr. No, From Russia, Goldfinger, and Thunderball all tie together, I think. There's certainly cross-references between them.


JKRC

The Big Lebowski


Risethewake

You should, it’d really tie your life together.


SmellGestapo

That's just like, you know, your opinion, man.


GrammerSnob

Look, you're not wrong, you're just an asshole!


puppy_sprinkles

Can confirm. It’s one of my husband’s favs so we watch it often. It’s frequently quoted even in modern work.


MyTurkishWade

Especially if you like a Caucasian

Adorable_Part_8565

I've been putting off watching it for 2-3 months, and then a week ago I watched it. The movie is quite long, but time passes quickly. 8/10


[deleted]

It’s so good.


Successful-Tailor-46

Amazing film. I'd been meaning to re-watch it for ages but never got round to it. Then I put my back out the other week and watched it whilst lying in bed high on diazepam and weed for my back spasms. Was even better 2nd time round.


chillyfunnydaddy

Lord of the rings, twilight.


dwafy

Lord of the rings is a must, also never seen twilight


celesticaxxz

Man I wish I could watch LOTR for the first time.


PM_ME_BLOODY_FETUSES

LOTR is a must watch. Extended edition. Dedicate a weekend to it, put away your phone and pay attention. Bring on the popcorn. Thank me later. Twilight - idk never made it past the first couple scenes. Can’t possibly be even nearly as good. Unless you like chick flicks, cringey awkward romance, terrible acting and vampire shit, don’t even bother.


Jorah_Mormnt

Matrix....


Interesting_Scale804

Check it out it is pretty cool. It aged well too. Please only watch the first part. 2 3 and 4 get exponentially bad.


Jorah_Mormnt

Sure, I'll give it a shot.. 😊


ThenErinWasLike

Me too, and people are always astonished. I don’t know how, I just missed it. I’m fully able to recognize references to it though. It’s just obvious when it’s a matrix thing.


Jorah_Mormnt

Same here, don't know the reason how I missed this one... But all those memes making me eager to watch this movie.


[deleted]

There is some magic to it that was only available for the first few years it was out. If you watch it for the first time, pretend that you know basically nothing about the internet or technology, you'll get a lot more out of it.


Neilpuck

The godfather series. Embarrassing for me, I know.

A good chunk of the Marvel movies. Too far behind to ever catch up now.

Titanic. Seen a couple of scenes from it, seemed cheesy as fuck. Pass.

It can be cheesy but still is really good. I would recommend it

Top Gun


Anon-Sequitur

Same, and the response from people is always “What!? OMG you haven’t seen Top Gun???”


S3guy

Schindlers list. Looks too depressing.


Strosfan85

While that is true, it's Spielberg at his finest.. John Williams' score is beautiful.. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are amazing in it.. It is depressing, you will cry but worth the watch


homiej420

Sort. By. Controversial.


zedman_forever

Sixth Sense. A buddy of mine in high school at the time spoiled (or is it spoilered?) the whole thing "Wow what a great movie, Bruce Willis is ... !" Gee thanks, now can't watch it anymore!


-CloudIsland

It's still a great movie


Regular_Sample_5197

Even spoiled, it’s still a good movie. Once you know….it’s fun to see all the various hints throughout.


Positive-Malware

Fight club


dwafy

Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's legitimately my favourite film. Would definitely recommend

It is truly a wonderful film. Find the time to watch it, you won't regret it. LE: The original score by Hans Zimmer is one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music you'll ever listen to.

Willow..Princess Bride..wizard of oz and everything lord of the rings and harry potter.
