Recommend me a few movies? - Blu-ray Forum

ZackL · 11-11-2008, 02:14 AM

I am in college right now and dear GOD I am bored. I have so much free time even though I am still attending (most) of my classes and getting decent marks! Im running out of things to watch on Blu/torrent/rentals and I can only go to the gym and hang out with the old lady so much.

The movies types that I love:

HEAT
Goodfellas
Casino
Godfather Trilogy
Layer Cake
Shawshank Redemption
Lord of War
The Professional
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Memento
Pulp Fiction

Any suggestions would be awesome. Ive seen so many so anything abstract would be awesome.

Look around the site mabye you'll find something you'll like. Anything I will suggest you will have already seen so its pointless..... Good luck and enjoy collage. Try to make those decent grades amazing grade. Give it that extra punch. Can never hurt. Depending on your age mabye go party a little

DC_Street · 11-11-2008, 02:20 AM

get a Netflix account and then rent Iron Man

Blu Titan · 11-11-2008, 03:05 AM

The Bank Job...try it and you will like it.

andyman1970 · 11-11-2008, 03:09 AM

If you're a music fan you might want to check out some concert BD's. I just bought The Police: Certifiable and it looks and sounds great.

Twankies08 · 11-11-2008, 03:28 AM

I would DEFINITELY recommend "SUNSHINE"!!
It's an amazing sci-fi movie and it looks amazing on blu-ray!!

+1 that was an awesome movie to watch.

mikejet · 11-11-2008, 03:14 PM

Sonatine. My favorite gangster picture.

If you like that, watch Graveyard of Honor, both the original and the Miike remake.

Beta Man · 11-11-2008, 04:22 PM

HEAT Carlito's Way??? Seen that one?
Goodfellas Donnie Brasco ?
Casino The First two I listed

Godfather Trilogy Who doesn't like this

Layer Cake Archangel w/ David Craig???
Shawshank Redemption Escape from Alcatraz?
Lord of War I never saw this
The Professional Great flick, not sure what to compare it to though.
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly Pale Rider, Hang em' High, Tombstone, High Plains Drifter, Unforgiven, etc.
Memento Following, another Nolen flick.
Pulp Fiction You've seen reservoir dogs and the other Tarrentino flicks right?

A good comparison to The Professional is The Killer by John Woo. Another different kind of crime movie no one's mentioned is Bad Lieutenant with Harvey Keitel.

King Leonidas · 11-11-2008, 11:29 PM

I have to recommend this movie to everyone, you will either hate it or love it, me , i love it, ..The Assasination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford..

I saw that one in the theater. I see the appeal and why it would be popular but I personally hated it.

Teabaggins · 11-12-2008, 04:09 PM

If you liked Good bad and ugly, check out "the Proposition" with Guy Pierce.
I would call it a "kangaroo western". really gritty

ZackL · 11-12-2008, 05:06 PM

Couldn't find The Proposition anywhere so I found it on my torrent. Will watch tonight.

Downfall was amazing. Are their any Russian viewpoint World War 2 movies of the same caliber screen/script strength (I.E. not Enemy At The Gates).

Jellybeans · 11-12-2008, 05:14 PM

The Girl Next Door, American Psycho, Hostel I , Hostel II, Leaving Las Vegas, K-Pax, The Friday The 13th series except for Jason, Fear, Cruel Intentions

Netflix has The Proposition if you have a membership.

it's not a Russian perspective but Wolfgang Peterson's "Das Boot" is a good one about a german U boat during ww2

assydingo · 11-11-2008, 09:36 PM

The Departed (from the guy who made goodfellas)
Gone Baby Gone (it's compared to memento. haven't seen memento but i love this movie)
Gunslinger Girls (anime but has many elements of The Professional)
Grindhouse

Heart&Soul · 11-11-2008, 09:48 PM

I echo the other recommendations and have one more: 3:10 To Yuma.

ZackL · 11-11-2008, 11:07 PM

Ive seen everything recommended except Downfall, so i'll go pick it up. Off I go! Thanks guys.
