Thread: The official Talksox.com movie thread

    The official Talksox.com movie thread

    I know calvnhobs and I are big movie buffs, so why don't we all talk about movies. :dunno:

    I just watched "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray for the first time, and it was excellent. The ending was a bit weak though.

    Maybe we can work out some sort of recommendation system for each other, that would be cool. Anyhoo, my favorite movie is Dr. Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. You should all see it, classic Kubrick in black and white.

    .....just trying to start off the thread.

    Super Troopers stands up to repeated viewing, I think. It's not meant to be taken seriously, so just have a good time watching it. Some of those jokes never get old.

    i don't know. the first time i saw it i almost died laughing. the 4th time i don't think i even laughed hard at all. shitty.. just like family guy, i've seen every episode about 10 times each. i can basically tell the jokes before they happen. same goes for south park and futurama.

    I'm actually going to be taking 2 separate movie courses this coming semester, so I'll be sure to have some excellent movie recs for you guys.
    In the meantime, go see Shaun of the Dead. Now.

    And what about the Life Aquatic? I thought it was damn good. Bill Murray is the man.

    Office Space holds up incredibly well when seen again IMO.

    Well, if we're talking about movies in theaters, Life Aquatic is the kind of really subtle, low-key humor that very few people can appreciate. I loved the movie.
    Other movies still in theaters that I'd recommend right now:
    SIDEWAYS - a must-see. Absolutely hilarious.
    TEAM AMERICA - The opposite of Life Aquatic. The humor is pretty obvious, and at times excessive - in a really good way.
    OCEAN'S 12 - Not as good as the first, it was more entertaining than good. Fun to see, though I can't really saw it was a good movie. I enjoyed it though.
    MEET THE FOCKERS - Very funny stupid comedy. First one was better, but this was pretty damn funny. It has grossed over 250 million dollars, so you know it's at least worth seeing.
    GARDEN STATE - This is a rental. A must see movie, Zach Braff is awesome in the movie - again, very subtle humor, but just really good.
    NAPOLEON DYNAMITE - You'll either love it or hate it, or think it's okay. I thought it was okay. MUCH better when you watch it with a group of people.
    THE INCREDIBLES - The best animated movie of all time. Hands down. Really an amazing movie. It's funny, and has a great plot. It'd make a great live action movie too.

    So yeah, I'd recommend all of those somewhat recent releases into theaters and onto DVD.

    On my list to see as soon as I get net flicks.

    Office Space never gets old. One of my all time favorie comedies. But my favorite comedy (compliments to YesZir for showing it to me for the first time) has to be My Cousin Vinny.

    My favorite movie of all time (and I still debate this with myself) is probably Fight Club. Two of my favorite actors (specifically Edward Norton, but I think Pitt's a great actor also), one of my favorite singers (Meat Loaf), and one of the best directors in hollywood today (David Fincher) is a can't miss movie.

    I agree with most of those reccomondations. I didn't like Incredibles, but thats just me.

    Thats my number three. I have a tie for number 1 with pulp fiction and Office Space.
