Con Air, hooray for the sounds of fucking silence!
Birdie
I’ve seen this one long time ago and only remember it was quite a sad movie.
Con Air and Con Air
Next (2007) was quite good actually.
I also remember it fondly but I’m not sure it would hold up nowadays… Have you watched it recently?
Not that recently I’m afraid. But I remember that I was really curious how the story plays out and while it wasn’t groundbreaking it was a satisfying twist end.
Not your regular Hollywood happy end.
Yeah that’s true for sure.
Definitely Raising Arizona and Con Air!
I feel like these are the kinds of conversations that should be happening in the movie communities instead of just corporate greed post after corporate greed post.
Another vote for Raising Arizona, although it is a close tie with Wild at Heart.
Let’s go dancin’ peanut!
Red Rock West a delicious film noir with Dennis Hopper
Honorable mention for 8mm. It isn’t a good movie, unless you go for the very 1999 aesthetics. But I’ll give a shout-out to that quote delivered by Joaquin Phoenix: “If you dance with the devil, the devil don’t change. The devil changes you.”
The Rock and National Treasure
Yeah, National Treasure was so good.
Pig, amazing film with a very subtle performance. The scene at the restaurant is absolutely brutal yet without any violence.
I loved the bait and switch where all the marketing suggested it would be a John Wick rip off but the movie turned out to be a lot more original
Pig is a masterclass in not telling the audience more than they absolutely need to know. I’ve gotten so sick of movies where the dialog repeats itself for the benefit of people who weren’t paying attention thirty seconds ago, or else it constantly spells out stuff that rightly ought to be conveyed by the actions of the characters. Pig is the antithesis of that. Characters hardly say anything that they don’t need to say, and everything else is left to the viewer to figure out. I fucking love it.
Mandy. It’s a balls to the wall thrill ride of psychedelic mayhem. Oh and amazing soundtrack.
Seconded. I show this movie to all of my friends that haven’t seen it and they’re always blown away by his performance in that. The bathroom scene is the best.
“Eric Estrada from CHIIIIIPS” might be one of his best-delivered lines.
Edit: spoilers I guess
Raising Arizona or Wild At Heart
Moonstruck
Raising Arizona. It’s just a wild ride start to finish. Also like Con Air.
Ghost rider, for the mayhem and lots of fire everywhere!
