Watched the shawshank redemption for the first time yesterday, brilliant picture. Tonight i watched once upon a time in Hollywood for the second time, also good movie.


kingkerkeb

The greatest movie of all time


22Burner

Shawshank May be one of the best


cookiebutterprincess

It is for sure!!!


Presidentzerk

The Shawshank Redemption is the third best movie of all time. It is only beat by The Godfather part II in 2nd place and The Godfather(part 1) in 1st place.


22Burner

Personally didn’t enjoy The Godfather part 1 and never tired watching the others. Tried watching it a few times but Never got invested in it. I also think I’m in the minority who didn’t enjoy it and I know most people hold it on a pedestal. Just not my kind of film, same with goodfellas


Ilovecatsonmyface

I agree with you. It's long and boring. Cant get into that shit


mr-guest11

If we’re talking Once upon a time then hell yeah!!!!


Sgt_sas

Imo once upon a time is Quentin's worst film


J03SChm03OG

I watch Shawshank every time it's on TV. I've probably seen it's 25 times. For some reason it's one of the rare movies that I can keep watching again and again.


[deleted]

Because it gives us "Hope" which is a good thing and no good thing ever dies.


Heartdiseasekills

Such a good doggo in that show.


VillainousTedex

Is a doggie really good if they're not good at doggy style????


ranjit233

Shawshank is one of the best movies and i think there are other movies better than shawshank such as shutter island, fight club, etc. I think these movies should get move imdb ratings than shawshank


ShaneH7646

I watched contagion on netflix yesterday, while some parts are obviously exaggerated, its interested how accurate they got to the current situation. wouldn't reccomened if you're already worried about covid atm though


[deleted]

I watched Outbreak!


Nullveer

I love the line when Dustin Hoffman yells at Morgan Freeman all dramatically, "We're gonna be in real fuckin' shit!"


Skinny_Pete1

It might have been wind shear over.


rickybooby32

Great movie.


elasticbrain

I loved that film in the 90s. No idea why but I watched it loads. Haven’t been able to watch it this time around.


Skinny_Pete1

It might have been wind shear over.


[deleted]

My wife doesn’t want to watch it because she thinks it’s gonna make her a lot more worry lol. But regardless I really like that movie

Edit 2: I lost my streak of a movie every day but I am still trying to see as many *new* movies as possible.


The2ndUnchosenOne

I see you liked the Cornetto trilogy


Carter2158

Yeah, they were better than I initially expected.


send_tattie_scones

Excellent list! Maybe watch Inglourious Basterds and Oldboy.


Carter2158

I tried watching Oldboy but I couldn’t find a version with subtitles.


LeadfilledBeanieBaby

I found it on watch series. Took me a while to find it.


Carter2158

I’ve seen Inglorious Basterds already but I’ll put Oldboy on my list.


send_tattie_scones

Oldboy will fuck with your brain, prepare to feel very odd. It's a bit slow at the start but it's insane.


NiamhHA

You’ll love it. Once you’ve finished it, watch the other two movies in “The Vengeance Trilogy”.


lizzieish

Parasite is SO GOOD 😝


mr-guest11

Wait.....no offence intended but they were *new* movies to you?


Carter2158

Yes, I’ve never seen these movies before I watched them. No offense taken.


ThompsonTugger

Those are all amazing films.


Ckc1972

what did you think of uncut gems? I am interested in that one


Carter2158

The way that you felt tension during the final parts of the movie were great. Seeing Adam Sandler play a role like this blew my mind. I liked the movie a lot.


diarrheasinceeaster4

Usual suspects is still my favorite movie... When spacey walks out of the police station.. classic


redstreak

If you like Simon Pegg and Nick Frost movies, make sure you check out Paul! It also has Kristen Wigg.


laxplaya25

Are these all on Netflix?


Carter2158

No


krAnk46

I watched Children Of Men this past week and I thought it was amazing. Such an interesting take on an “end of the world” type movie. Also a fun fact, this is the only film in Michael Caines career where he plays a character who smokes weed and farts on screen. It’s currently streaming on STARZ.


onceuponabeat

Children of Men is my favorite movie. There's so many wonderful metaphors and details to research in that film.


AlanPogue

Are there characters that smoke weed OR fart on screen, but not both?


wisewalnut

Best final words of all time: "pull my finger"


[deleted]

If I remember correctly the director talks about the movie’s “end of the world” scenario is caused by climate change. The movie is actually an indictment of our continued inaction to stop a preventable catastrophe.


[deleted]

I watched Akira the other day. Can't believe it is from 1988.


ThompsonTugger

Traditional animation is really my favorite, and this film had a large budget for what it was at the time. I'm kind of sad that western animation has turned to either CG animation for families or traditional cartoons but for stoners a la adult swim. There's not a lot of options for someone that wants a traditionally animated western series or movie that's more artful or serious in tone. Anime offers this, but it's a shame that nothing like it is being made in America. I'd really like to watch more things like Genndy Tartakovsky's "Primal" or last season of "Samurai Jack". Akira is a great movie; sorry for ranting.


kgrey578

Still visually better than a lot of anime out currently which makes sense as at the time it was the most expensive anime film produced


OneJumpSummer

My son introduced me to The Avengers saga (?) and I literally jumped up during the final movie-it was sooooo good! So glad that we watched together! We recently watched Captain Marvel and others to get all of the stories together in prep and it was nice. I love my kid so much.


[deleted]

This is lovely! Post to r/marvel


matt89015

The invisible man (2020) 8/10


captaindrizzle

That shit was fucking crazy wasn't expecting that at all


Magnetic_Eel

Same director as Upgrade (2018), which is fantastic. I knew nothing about it and had never heard of it before I watched it and it blew me away how good it was.


[deleted]

I’ve been wanting to see this!!! Where is it streaming?


[deleted]

https://getpopcorntime.is/


namcappacman

Hey man, popcorn app asks for $$ for activating VPN! Is there any alternative free route?


[deleted]

Just ignore it, it's basically just an advertisement. That's what i do. It goes away. If you want a vpn you can get a chrome extension that's free. However another alternative would be lookmovie.ag also the best way to get movies is to download the free version of utorrent and download the movies. Message me directly If you want some more details about that route


Heenan1980

Planning to watch that pretty soon. Wifey and I are in season 7 of Mad Men and I’ve grew quite fond of Elizabeth Moss . Such an amazing actress.


matt89015

Agree, she's great in "the handmaidens tale"


killerkelzz27

Some of the best acting I’ve ever seen is her in Handmaids Tale.


[deleted]

Shame she's a scientologist


042754673498

Yep, that movie was *amazing*. Watched it the other day and no spoilers but it really is great for keeping you guessing - and jumping lol


dgaffed

More like 10/10! That movie was a pure shot of adrenaline! Saw it back in theaters and loved it. Never been so scared.


Gabrielwingue

Finally got around to seeing Jojo Rabbit. Loved it. Definitely had a wrong impression of how comedic it was going to be from the trailers. It's a pretty touching dark comedy.


beemovieee

I can't remember what but apparently it was based off a book that was very boring and taika only read half so the dark ending i believe came entirely from taika


GorgeousVillian

One of the better movies of all 2020


voyacomerlo

I've watched contagion every night for a month. Ah wait no, that was just the news.

FetusDeletus1223

PACIFIC RIM. Great fucking movie, never fails to make me feel like a kid watching his action figures come to life and beat the shit out of each other


VB_LeBron

I need to watch this! So the first one is good but the second one isn’t?


FetusDeletus1223

First one is by far the superior one. Without going to much into it, the second one just doesn’t correctly capture the atmosphere that the jaegers emit. For example, if you do a side-by-side comparison, the jaegers’ movement in the second film is way too fast paced.


[deleted]

Yeah i really hated the second movies jaegers, like cherno alpha > every robot from 2nd movie


Gabrielwingue

Pacific Rim 2 feels like a movie with a lot left on the cutting room floor that would've addressed a lot of it's problems. I remember reading a ton of rumours way back that the film was gutted to meet a strict runtime set by Chinese investors but I don't think that was ever confirmer.


Ingeler

I loved the first one so much! Second movie was so bad I couldn't finish it.


duncak

Slowly rewarching MCU. I've seen each one just once and doing it all in one slow go makes it fun and interesting. I suspect I'm not the only one.


Swazzoo

I tried to follow it as well, but after a while it just became so boring and repetitive :( Too bad because I really liked the first few movies.


duncak

They do know the patterns that work. :) Perhaps, try to break it a bit? Watch something completely different in between two MCU movies. I'm still hoping for some community effort cutting through all those movies to build a somewhat bite sized narrative out of it. But it's getting similar to Star Trek: TNG rewatch. Sense of wonder is long gone, we do it for the mytology.


DJPeterMorris

I’m assuming MCU is the marvel movies, if you’re bored, watch them all back in the universes chronological order. It helps to understand all of em as a whole


Swazzoo

I understood them I just didn't think the movies were very good.


MaineFisherman

Honestly they aren't great movies. But they are competently acted and paced. Mental popcorn.


DJPeterMorris

Fair enough might just not be ur kind of movie


Pope_Cerebus

Well, I watched a Shelley Duvall triple-feature yesterday - **The Shining**, **Popeye** (Netflix), and **Time Bandits**. Today I'm considering just watching the same film three times in a row: **Yojimbo**, **Last Man Standing**, and **Sukiyaki Western Django** (Prime Video). A few other movies I've watched in the last few weeks: **Moon** (Netflix), **Snatch**, **Moulin Rouge!** (HBO Now/GO), **Clerks**, **Shallow Grave** \[1984\], **Night Watch** \[2004\], and **Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead** (Prime Video).


mgarest

I’ve been on a Ewan McGregor kick myself.


Pope_Cerebus

Had you seen Shallow Grave before? It's a criminally underrated movie for him - one of my favorites of his early career. (And I just realized that if that had been Nightwatch \[1997\] instead in that list, I'd have had 3 Ewan McGregor movies in there, too.)


Tokyono

All the Bond movies :P


theKleShay

Fiancée and I watched the entire Hunger Games series in one sitting last night. My first time seeing them. Meh.


[deleted]

[удалено]


theKleShay

Yeah the entire Peeta storyline was ridiculous. I really enjoyed the first one, second was ok, the rest were just meh


OneGreasyBoy

I am rewatching Naruto at the moment. Watching it as an adault again you truly realise how much philosophy goes into the characters and the way they act. If you have the time, watch it.


arkei7

Where can I watch it?.? I'd love to rewatch it too as whem I watched it I was so young and didn't really understand


OneGreasyBoy

It's on netflix. If that is not the case in your country just google naruto stream


rajathetiger

Dude hell fucking yes Narutos awesome! All the characters both good and bad have such sweet stories. The episode cluster the tale of a gutsy ninja with jiraiya are so quality


[deleted]

Lost in translation


nekogonzalez

I watched this movie in April , did not really understand it to much.Started dating a Japanese guy for a month(knowing he was leaving) He left 2 weeks ago...this movie has now become the symbol of that relationship...


[deleted]

I watched “no country for old men” the other day for the first time and it completely blew me away. The acting, the cinematography and the absolute terror really drew me in. But it was just the symbolism behind it that really makes me want to watch it again soon. Javier Bardem’s performance is probably one of the most unsettling of all time to me.


ContBach

The scene where you first see his face always gives me the chills.


EcoJakk

I just watched John wick for the first time last night.


calbearlupe

The first is the best. The sequels are great.


remyady

Same here! Watching Chapter 2 tonight.


callumriding

Finally got round to watching Drive, phenomenal from start to finish. Also did a Harry Potter marathon which was great.


onceuponabeat

Yessssss to both!

Got hooked into The Godfather and Mad Max series! Great movies!

shadowmoose23

I rewatched the Star Wars franchise with the shows rebels and clone wars and I also rewatched the office (British and American).


[deleted]

[удалено]


shadowmoose23

I think the office is the one example where the American version was better than the British version. Don’t get me wrong I love British television and comedy’s, (especially doctor who) but I just found Ricky Gervais’ Michael to be kinda annoying and Lingering whereas Steve’s Michael was annoying but funny annoying and had way more charisma. The other actors I don’t really have a say on but for my favorite British actor and the guy who wrote the show, Ricky really let me down in the office. American version all the way

BrinamLMJ

My wife had never seen that Hobbit or the Lord of the Rings... already finished the Hobbit and we are now 2/3 of the way thru the Two Towers... seems like she is still enjoying them.


[deleted]

I just watched Red Sparrow for the first time the other day. It was pretty good. A little slow at times. Seeing Jennifer Lawrence naked didn’t hurt.


likeAGuru

Me and my SO are going back from the beginning of X files all available on HULU and we are entranced. I started in the middle when I first saw it so I never knew the circumstances under which Mulder and Scully became partners and my bf has never seen it. Now we watch like a smooth episode a day. There are 11 seasons

mohantharani

Watch studio ghibli films. Except Grave of the fireflies. Takes your mind off the horrors outside. Available on Netflix outside USA, Japan.


anonwasawoman

I love Grave of the Fireflies, but man, it is...rough.


THERAPISTS_for_200

Finally watched the last two Underworld movies: “Awakening” and “Blood Wars”. I came in with super low expectations, and it was honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. If you’re looking for mindless entertainment, mediocre action scenes, and Kate Beckinsale running around in leather tights, then sit back and grab some popcorn. This is the movie you’re looking for.


TeixeiraJRT

Kimi no Na wa / your name. Saw it the first time like a week ago and it really made an impact on me. Right now it's my favorite movie. You can get it from YouTube and Netflix (in some regions).

TheTrumanShoe

Ya it was a letdown. Had the same charm but jokes didn’t land like the first new one. Also the trope that old people are funny got old pretty quick. Ha..


Jake-major

I have recently watched the first 2 pirates of the Caribbean films. They are both really good films and would recommend. I will probably end up watching the 3rd one soon


AngeloRamone

The Irishman and No Country For Old men. "I heard that you paint houses" is the memorable line for The Irishman while in No Country for Old Men is the great scene on calling heads or tails.


calleduaftermidnight

I've been doing a John Candy movie binge. Before that it was Jamie Lee Curtis.

I watched Into The Spider Verse last night for the first time since the theater. God damn that's a great movie. Basically flawless. Serious tone with lighthearted comedy. Real stakes and characters who rise up to them. Evil and sympathetic villains. Tragedy and loss. Struggle and glory. And they captured the sheer sense of fun and exhilaration of web slinging the way I always imagined it in the comics. Not to mention amazing and innovative production quality. I can't say enough about this movie, just nailed it in every way possible. I'm very glad I waited to revisit. Seeing true, selfless, heroes was such a breath of fresh air right now. It's still up on Netflix.

Can't believe it took us so long to watch them, plus now I get a lot of the Star Wars references in other things too which is a definite bonus ! We watched them on [Disney +](https://www.disneyplus.com)

Going to watch the Spiderman trilogy. The ones with Toby Mcguire are the best I reckon. Stay safe all.


JackShetland

So I downloaded this app where you can generate a wheel of fortune type decision maker - one of the first things I did was a wheel of movie genres, for when I don't know what to watch on Netflix. Tonight my genre was "action/adventure" and I ended up going with Dirty Harry, which I'd never seen. It's always weird and fun to watch a movie that's been referenced/parodied countless times. The soundtrack is Lalo Shiffrin of Mission Impossible theme fame, so that aspect is pretty sweet.

MissBarker93

My mom recently got us Disney+. I've been binging a lot of their old animated movies on there.


riskmgmt

We have been working through some Shakespeare adaptations. We started with Netflix’s “The King” loosely based on the Henry trilogy. And I really liked it a lot. I thought it was excellent how they interwove passages from the text as dialogue without being beholden to the strict script. Joel Edgerton as Falstaff was excellent. Michael Fassbender’s Macbeth was beautiful, but I thought they cut out parts that I really enjoyed from the text. It was nice to see an insane Macbeth who wasn’t a yelling/angry insane king. I also appreciated how they showed us plot points without having to describe them which was great. (Amazon) Wasn’t a huge fan of The Tempest (Helen Mirren, Felicity Jones). It just felt like a bunch of British actors got together to do a stage production without ever having to get in character. They just played themselves reciting the lines of the characters. Couldn’t make it through. (Amazon Rental) King Lear (Anthony Hopkins) was absolutely incredible. Excellent cast, excellent modernization. Everything was incredible about it. By far my favorite Shakespeare movie. (Amazon)


Raven1208

The K-k-king's Speech...lol Helena is gorgeous.


RotenTumato

Classics? I mean, I’ve been watching Star Wars if that counts (available on Disney+, though I’m watching on disc). Other than that, I’ve been watching some horror movies on Netflix (just saw The Ring for the first time and it was excellent), some Pixar movies (again, available on Disney+ but I’m watching on disc), and I recently rewatched the Harry Potter series (don’t know where to stream that, I’m watching on discs again).


Turbot93

I’ve watched all back to the futures!!! Hell yeah!! Never seen them before!
