I'm going to be a teenage girl and say mean girls. It is an amazing movie, and thats what high school is like. I love Tina Fey comedic everything so I love that movie.
I mean she said something like "teenage girls don't laugh at this movie, because this is their reality" sometime and that is very, very true.
I'm going to suggest one of my favorites Children Of Men. I could watch this movie just to experience the incredible, single-shot sequences again. The length of these shots without any obvious cuts (apparently CGI was used in a few to smooth scenes out) adds an incredible amount of immersion to the movie. This movie is definitely up there on my list of excellent cinematographic films.
The long shots are fantastic, I remember the hair on my arms standing up when I realized how long one of the shots was in the theater. When will this end? Oh my god, this is amazing! The fact that the hero never picks up a gun in a movie with so much gun play was fantastic.
Such a good movie. Love me some Clive Owen. The International too!
I've never seen 12 Angry Men and I'm looking for a push to watch it because, well, everyone says it's a classic. Anyone?
Ill second this. I haven't seen it either even though that's pretty much a sin for an ex film student. I believe it's on Netflix too which makes it easy.
Whiplash. This is from what I've heard an amazing movie, and it just got released on certain sites. nowaypablo galen iammyownrushmore
I saw it three times in theaters. I saw this movie three times.. in theaters.
I'd love to see this, I've heard good things and haven't gotten around to it. looks like it's gonna be children of men though. meh.
Heathers was good, but was it better than Lucas? Yeah, it was. But I still liked the film Lucas when I was a kid. Great "slow clap" ending. Best slow clap ending though? Nope: Also, whatever happened to Kerri Green. She was the cats pajama's at one point. Wynona Rider was in Lucas, she did alright with her career. She couldn't throw poor Kerri a role or two?
I'm gonna cast my lot with Thou Wast Mild and Lovely by Josephine Decker. I saw that this had made it on several "Best of 2014" lists, and, since I hadn't even heard of her or the film, I was intrigued and even signed up for an account on Fandor to check it out. While I couldn't think anything immediately afterwards except for "That was pretty dang good", it has really stuck with me more than I thought it would. There's a heavy Terrance Malick influence (but it's hard to be completely absent of that nowadays), but there's something going on here that many critics and directors have spoken of, but few have pulled off very well. It's tense, it's dreamy, it's horrifying and emotionally turbulent all at the same time. It is very "artsy" and Decker may never have a huge budget or be a household name, but she sure as shit did a lot with what little she had. It does some very unusual and provoking things to very well-trodden ground, and this alone makes it worth watching. caveats: this will be a harder one to watch, but I have the ability to send Invites to watch on Fandor to I don't quite know how many email addresses for a 3-day pass. I don't know if the three-day pass is from the day I send it or from the time you accept the invite, but I can figure that out and make sure everyone can view it.
