Settle down

So... Uh... Probably don't tell people your favorite movie is Fight Club.

My favorite movie of all time is a tie between Halloween and the Thing but those are pretty much universally loved. The one movie that I've seen probably no joke about a thousand times is The Faculty. Easily my favorite of the teen horror movies of the late 90s. It's so quotable, the characters are so good, and the homages are fucking spectacular. From Dusk Til Dawn is amazing and you can tell Tarantino wrote the first half because the movie gets interesting once they get into the bar and leave the silly sociopathic shit in the first half alone.

Agree with your thoughts here except for “against type”

Kate cusses like a foul mouth sailor and is a firecracker in real life

I could barely get through the original cut and thought there’s no damn way Snyder cut would be better…

Whoo boy.

There’s a good half of that movie where I couldn’t stop grinning I was having so much fun

Jim Carrey attempts at drama after that movie were never as good, but fuck man, Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are such good performances. That ending scene with him and Winslet is so real that now that I'm an adult and have been through relationships and drama it hits so fucking different.

There's an old Alamo movie with John Wayne I believe.

Hey…

Nothing wrong with those movies and I’d argue Catch me if you Can is one of DiCaprio and Tom Hanks finest.

Tremors is one of those movies that really only could've found success in the era it came out. That's a movie that absolutely bombed at the box offie but made most of its money through the home video market and through TV appearances. If it wasn't for that movie getting replayed constantly on TV I would've never known it existed or become a huge fan.

There was only a few jump scares....

The movie was all tension, those very few jump scares were necessary as a tension release valve.

Into The Night (1985). Just because as a teenager back in Germany I had skipped school with a friend. We walked by this theatre and it showed “Into The Night”. Had no idea what this was. The main actor was that wacky guy from that detective series. Jeff Goldblum was not known back then. I had the best time. I loved the mix between movie business and crime and Los Angeles at night. I watch it every couple of years. I now live in the country and city of the movie. Feels like I am in this movie sometimes.

Hideo Nakata's Ghost Actress has some great moments where the ghost is just lingering in the background.

Tree of Life.

It’s a spiritual successor to 2001 and it made me remember what it was like to be a child again.

The ending…amazing

It’s Malick, so people either love or loathe this movie, There is no in between and i find that amusing as well

Brief Encounter

Well I guess the writers wanted an "everyman" character that people could relate to as much as you have, only to pull the rug out from under you.

"I could be that guy, omg hes a murderer, is it then in me to be a murderer?" or something along those lines...

Kill mill then pup fiction next.

Wait for La Creme

>Steak fucking sucks. McDonald’s hamburgers are legitimately better, I want to feel the maximum at every second. Horror movies should have loads of atmosphere, and jump scares, and everything good in the world that’s imaginable.

I'm not sure how Reddits feeling about Rick and Morty quotes at the moment, but

"feels like that guy had other stuff going on"

I find myself rewatching independence day and small soldiers monthly.

A toss-up between Contact and Sympathy for Mr Vengeance... and I think I'll rewatch Burning again at some point and see if it transfixes me as much on repeated viewings, if so it's up the top too!

He is because that was the point - to be a caricature of a "stereotypical food snob" who actually knows nothing about cooking but acts like they do and takes it too seriously. The movie never made fun of people who legitimately enjoy food and want to save up to go to a fancy restaurant solely because they enjoy food. The entire menu of guests were people who were the antithesis of that.

I hear you. I’d agree with what someone else said about how all the characters are unlikable because that’s what the movie’s about. They all take on stereotypical roles to show the point that all these people are problematic types in the restaurant industry.

I don't think the Chef wanted to punish Holt's character. Unlike the others, he hadn't contributed to killing the Chef's passion in any way. The guy just volunteered to die.

Steak fucking sucks. It has no flavor, it’s just the flavor of meat. McDonald’s hamburgers are legitimately better, as are all hamburgers, as are all dishes with more ingredients.

I want to feel the maximum at every second. Horror movies should have loads of atmosphere, and jump scares, and everything good in the world that’s imaginable. None of it is mutually exclusive.
