I loved Grosse Pointe Blank, didnt really like War Inc. all that much. I guess because its just more serious and there wasn't a fun high school reunion angle.

There's that whole tense scene in 'History of Violence' where Vigggo Mortensen is trying so hard to be polite to the thugs that come into his diner, but he knows that they mean trouble.

It's less like "a film from which the toy Buzz Lightyear is based on" and more like "a gritty reboot/reimagining inspired by the Buzz Lightyear toyline".

But Samuel L. Jackson is so good! You won't regret it.

Also they were written in satire of westerns.. and became some of the best westerns but they sort of were made to… mock westerns

I know, I know! I will. Tbh John travoltas hair is really off putting for me but I’ll get over it!

Baby Driver or Drive

Haven’t seen it listed yet, Five Easy Pieces. Classic Nicholson.

Glad to see some Everybody Wants Some love on here. Fun little flick.

My Dinner With Andre'

Risky Business and American Psycho. The way a sexual loss of innocence is linked with gaining knowledge about the business world makes a great setup for Patrick Bateman's nihilism. I could easily see Joel as one of Patrick Bateman's friends, especially since the timelines sync up, and Christian Bale has mentioned modelling his character after Tom Cruise so there's a bit of connection there.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen this on here yet. Always a great scene to pull out when someone starts getting too deep into time travel talk.

"Kick his ass, Sea Bass!"

I've always wondered if this was in there because of Tarantino's involvement...

Honest question but why do people care so much? It doesn’t take away from the original. Dragon Ball and Pokémon are still the most popular anime in the world despite DB Evolution and Detective Pikachu existing. If it sucks, oh well. If it’s good, awesome. Why get mad over it.

Love this movie! Walter is my favorite character, by far. My friend and I have a fledgling YouTube channel and we just released a 25th Anniversary review - check it out if you're needing a distraction

You could debate that Alita isn't even a live action adaptation because the majority of the scenes are CGI anyway. There are human characters which make it live action but I feel like they fall flat compared to the better scenes which are animated anyway

One of the best slow methodical character study movies, akin to Glengarry Glenross. DeNiro and Pacino are at the top of their games!

Holy cow! How have you not seen this movie?! Soooooo good, and so well done! You need to right this wrong, soon! ;)

Yeah. It was all cool and had me hyped. The movie visually is awesome. While still entertaining to me, it was a letdown for sure.

I suspect little girls changing into teenagers wearing sexy school girl outfits is just a concept Hollywood doesn’t want to go near without a 40 foot pole.

And sailor moon would be a particularly difficult one to adapt and not feel like teen girl power rangers which I don’t think most people want to see. There’s a very long list of anime that are way better for adapting to live action than sailor moon, almost as long as the list of r/movie posts of someone’s really terrible idea for a live action anime adaptation.
