TheFirstMonk June 8, 2008 Share TheFirstMonk Member June 8, 2008 I was a Cinema Studies minor in college, so some of these films may definitely seem obscure or just really old. I tried to pick the ones that piqued my emotions in some way. Sorry if I post movies that have already been mentioned in this forum. I also wrote some notes at the end of each film in case GC has standards for the films they watch too. Paths of Glory (Stanley Kubrick, 1957) A war film with an interesting twist on the genre. Minimal blood, black and white film. Sword of Doom (English Title) (Okamoto Kihachi, 1966) Samurai film with a morally questionable main character. Bloody, black and white film. The Great Dictator (Charlie Chaplin, 1940) Charlie Chaplin film with sound. A comic take on a country resembling Nazi Germany. No blood, black and white film. Ghost Dog, Way of the Samurai (Jim Jarmusch, 1999) Film about a modern day assassin who follows the samurai code. Short and few action sequences, but a good film nonetheless. Bloody, has harsh language, color film. These are just a couple off the top of my head. I'll post some more when I remember good ones.

Xterminator June 9, 2008 Share Xterminator Member June 9, 2008 Fälscher, Die (The Counterfeiters) German movie with English subs. The Counterfeiters is the true story of the largest counterfeiting operation in history, set up by the Nazis in 1936. I watched the movie a few weeks ago and it was awesome. here's the imdb reference. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0813547/plotsummary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarus June 10, 2008 Share lazarus Member June 10, 2008 I will back up sj and geek. Oldboy is a must watch action/drama flick. To pique your curiosity: the killer at VaTech mimiced the poses from the poster of this movie in some of his photographs he sent to police. Oh, and if you haven't seen Will Smith in Six Degrees of Seperation, you must see it. It is based off a play by Tom Stoppard, so you know it's going to be good. Also, this isn't the Will Smith, we grew up with. It's a glimplse of the actor we see later in Ali and Pursuit of Happyness. It has a star studded cast with Stockard Channing, Donald Sutherland, and Ian McKellan. You won't be dissappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[LaW]Maverick June 27, 2008 Share [LaW]Maverick Member June 27, 2008 One I thought was going to suck: Kickin' it Old School with Jaime Kennedy (however you spell his name) It was HILARIOUS Also, just watched Be Kind Rewind, and I really liked it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoner June 27, 2008 Share Demoner Member June 27, 2008 One I thought was going to suck: Kickin' it Old School with Jaime Kennedy (however you spell his name)It was HILARIOUS Also, just watched Be Kind Rewind, and I really liked it I'm sorry I thought Be Kind Rewind was a terrible movie... the whole storyline is flawed and its a movie about making movies... I wouldn't recommend watching it unless you wanna kill some time and have nothing else better to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaftiel June 27, 2008 Share shaftiel Member June 27, 2008 Amazon Women on the Moon is a terrible movie. But it has some truly funny moments... if you're 15 or so. Which was the last time I saw it heh Shaftiel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL June 27, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member June 27, 2008 The Last Starfighter is good...and I enjoyed The Wraith even though it was only decent acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LaW]Maverick June 27, 2008 Share [LaW]Maverick Member June 27, 2008 The Last Starfighter was awesome! One of my favorites! I still say Be Kind Rewind was pretty cool---it had some bad moments, and I don't know what the deal with Mos Def's acting was, but I still enjoyed it overall.... That and the camo scene was hillarious....anyway, try Kickin' it Old School...I really thought that would suck, and I enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMamma June 28, 2008 Share YoMamma Member June 28, 2008 Also, just watched Be Kind Rewind, and I really liked it I didn't care for it. The movie trailer shows the only funny parts. Do yourselves a favor and just watch the trailer. It'll save you a lot of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher June 28, 2008 Share Preacher Member June 28, 2008 A Bridge Too Far: prolly the greatest cast ever put into one movie, the movie just did poorly in the box office. James Caan,Michael Caine,Sean Connery,Elliott Gould,Gene Hackman,Anthony Hopkins,Laurence Olivier,Robert Redford,Maximilian Schell,John Ratzenberger,Richard Attenborough all in one movie. The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and Return of the King animated films Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold Starship Troopers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
