Blazing Swords made a bad movies thread, and Rae Rae made on on the Dark Knight (Awesome movie by the way). So I decided to make this because....

I went to the movies tonight. Now I normally enjoy horror movies, blood/gore, suspense/thriller, mystery, and action. I enjoy a good comedy from time to time, but they don't make movies funny like they used to. Well...

Tonight I saw Pineapple Express. I think I damn near pissed my pants at its pure ingenious humor. The story line was just epic in my opinion. Yes it actually had a small one. I highly recommend it. It was nicely done, and I'd see it over and over given the opportunity.

I'm not in the mood for a heavy speech.....So I'll just say The Dark Knight, and Iron Man. Everyone else can say why.

I was lazy to retype everything I said in the bad movie thread, so I just compied it all in here.

There's a group of astronauts on their way to mars, when they land, they go examine the "Face of Mars" when they suddenly hear a strange music.
At that point they aim their radar gun(?) at the face, and try to figure out what's inside.
Then a huge sand storm pops out of nowhere, kills 3 of the 4 team members and they lose contact with earth.
Several months later, a rescue mission is organized, long story short, the rocket blows up, they end up landing using the satelite trhat was orbiting mars for reasons unknown, and off they go to search for the survivor of the research party.
Soon they discover what happened, and then he tells them that the sound was actually designed to transmit a 3d sketch of the human DNA(missing a pair of atoms), the survivor then tells them that it's actually a riddle and tells them that the once who want to enter the face are supposed to complete the sequence if they wish to gain entrance.
So, using an unknown method, they manage to crack the musical code and know which notes to play for the face next time.
They then send a robot with the radar gun, and fire at the face.
This time however, there is no sandstorm, instead, a door opens in the side, and they enter.
Inside, they meet the last surviving member of a species that long left mars(Or at least, it's hologram)
It shows them that while the rest of her race(I don't know why, but I've deduced it was a female) left for a new home outside our solar system, she statyed behind and crashed her ship into the Earth's oceans, thus creating life.
After that, the floor changes to show giant white hoops that are rotating(a binary countdown) and the hologram fades out, leaving them thinking about wheter to go on the ship or not.
One of them stays behind, while the others go for the ship.
When he boards the alien ship, it starts filling with a strange liquid(Probably some kind of stasis) and right before it launches, his entire life flashes before him.
We then cut to the rescue ship, they launch and leave the surface of mars, right before a giant sand storm gets there(Which would make them unable to leave if they would have been struck by the storm)
Once in orbit, a fast, rotating object flies right next to them, heading to the same nebula the martians went to, all those aeons ago.
Then one of them says:"Good luck [insert name here]"(Yes, I did forget the name of the lead character)

In shrt, it was one of the best movies I've ever seen.

If anyone watched this movie, would you mind reminding me of it's name?

Mission to Mars.


And the movie "Chaos Theory" with Ryan Reynolds rocks my world.

Charlie Bartlett.


That is all.

operation petticoat

underworld- the part were they cutthe guys head off was great special effecs.

topgun

Hot Shots, and Hot Shots: Part Deux; hilarious movies that actually built up genre parodies instead of destroying them.

Darkworld is a nice movie.
Darkworld 2 sucked tho...
Damn...Can't remember the name of the vampire chick's name right now ><
It always happens....
Curse my memory...
She's hot tho.

I really enjoyed Shoot 'em Up. Awesome gunfight movie. With the best sex scene ever.

I'm waiting on The Spirit, I've read a few of the comics and they tell a good story.

If I could think of a good Hal Jordan I would say I would like to see a Green Lantern movie.

I honestly enjoyed "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford". It was a bit slow, but I thought they set the mood very well.

You want a good movie? I'll give you an amazing one. It's so hilarious that during parts of it we (the audience) couldn't stop laughing so we'd miss the next line or two. It was so amazing i'm going to see it again when it actually comes out. It was 10000x better than I thought it would be from the trailers.

Tropic Thunder.

I got to see it in an advance screening for free while down at Otakon and my god it's too hilarious. I hope all of you people who look at it and go "meh" or "I just want to see it for Robert Downey Junior" GO SEE IT. Everyone else plays their parts so well, it's just pure win.

When is the actual release date?

ill remember too see it later

I just want to see Downey in black-face makeup

"What do you mean 'You people'?"

"What do you mean 'You people'?"

The Sheriff is a N*ding*
What'd he say?
The Sheriff is near!

Emphasise the first you in the second phrase.

Otherwise it just doesn't work.

You know what if someone hasn't watched the trailer they won't know what the hell is going on anyways. Basically it is a rather well known in-joke, doing anything else is just a waste.

I'm a guy pretending to be a guy who's acting like someone else.

The actual line is:

"I KNOW WHO I AM!! I'm a dude pretending to be a dude disguised as another dude"

I've only seen the trailer once. And I haven't seen the movie yet. I just thought it was funny.

I'm just a savant that way.

You have a talent for memorizing movie lines?

I memorize movie or book lines the first time I see them.

I command you to quote an entire scene from the dark knight. RIGHT NOW!

THE INNER EYE DOES NOT SEE UPON COMMAND... or something like that.... come to think of it, here's a better response:


Meh.

that'll do rat...that'll do




Nebraska

Take Nebraska to the JJ. This thread was to talk about good movies.

As raven knows, nothing short of a direct input of pure nebraska energy to my brain will have an effect now, and I'm working hard to completely nebraska-proof my brain.

Okay miss kimira!

Amores Perros is the best Mexican movie ever.

ok ok.

Drunken Boxer I and II

Pirates of the Caribean (all of them) Lord of the Rings (all) The Princess Bride, Stardust, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and The Corpes Bride

They were good, not great. I could actually live with it being a single movie and not a trilogy.

edward scissorhands

i forgot that one!

Boondock Saints
Batman
Blazing Saddles
Count of Monte Cristo
Fritz the Cat
Gladiator
3:10 to Yuma
Office Space
Iron Man

So many more, I'm sure those all have been said before though.

ooo!! iron man Was really good!

You are so young, you need to watch some old movies.

Equilibrium.

is that an old one?

No its from 2002. Watch the original Pink Panther or Armageddon Now. If you watch the latter then read Heart of Darkness.

Hah my GF had me watch Equilibrium the other week... was good.

I also loved Cube and Cube Zero, both great movies in my book.

Blade Runner

Blade Runner was good.


I liked The Fugative also.

In no particular order:

Iron Man
Pirates of the Caribbean (yes, all of them - though 2 and 3 could have been one film, really)
Princess Bride
King Kong (1931. Forget the remake.)
Seven Samurai
Spider Man 1 and 2 (the third was not as good. hoping they learned their mistakes when they come out with the 4th movie)
Terminator (just the first one and maybe the second - forget the sequels and spin-off series)
Highlander (only the first movie. will not see the sequels.)
Star Wars IV (ie. only the first movie)
Pokemon (first three movies... why are you looking at me like that?)
Iron Man
North by Northwest
The Matrix (only the first movie)
The Island
True Lies
Eraser
Transformers (2007)
Blade Runner
Cloverfield
Iron Man

There are others I'd recommend I'll add them later.

Edit: How did I miss these? The first three Indiana Jones, the first Jaws

You didn't need to put Iron Man on there three times. We got it the first time.


And yeah, I like the first three Jones movies better.

Lord of War was really good.

I really enjoy Nicholas Cage movies.

And Ryan Reynolds is, in my opinion, one of the best actors out there.

I approve of Ryan Reynolds.
