Bumping and archiving a good thread, anyone else know of any classic movies to watch?

https://archive.ph/H2bpM

Interesting stuff.

 >>/41119/
> What counts as a good film for me? Story must be intriguing and get you hooked. Acting must be good, believable and unique.

I agree but another problem I have with a lot of tv shows and movies is over-dramatization by some actors, that too can make an entire movie or series unbelievable. For the story to be believable it has to have actors who can play the scenes as if it was happening to them in real life. What made movies like "The Shining" a gem to watch is not exactly the story itself, it was the great actors who made it actually believable when in all reality something that far-fetched would never really happen. The actors' talent made unrealistic possibilities seem very surreal. I could say the same for movies like "The Bad Seed" or the tv series "The X-Files".

Some good movies to watch for Christmas with family:

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Trading Places (1983)
Christmas Story (1983)
Home Alone (1990)
The old Christmas Carols (30s and 50s film the best, '84 film was OK)
Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)

I watched another movie for the first time called "Hell Bent", the 1995 film to be clear. Very good acting for amateur kids recruited off the street for making this low budget film. The story line was pretty insane and intense. It's about a group of bored juvenile delinquent preteens living in an average suburb who become increasingly violent and sociopathic as they find amusement in committing crimes and ruining the lives of other people around them.

He tries to make a phone call. The phone lines are cut off. One appliance works. A television set with a VCR. On top of the old TV is a video cassette tape. What was recorded on that cassette tape makes his worst nightmares come true and turns his whole life upside down.

Twin Peaks - a very entertaining but campy crime show. A cult classic

Eraserhead - nice movie but pretty bizarre

 >>/45942/
I have seen the movie Eraserhead before, well worth the watch if you like oddball B-flicks. I have not seen Twin Peaks, at least yet, but will look into that show.

 >>/41552/
If you enjoy films that are fringe and suspenseful I would recommend Bad Boy Bubby, and another film by the same director recently mentioned above, Alexandra's Project. I would not recommend watching those two films with family, both containing some violence and sexually questionable content.

The Bad Seed (1956). When a young boy dies and an investigation is leading the authority nowhere, a mother who's daughter was in the same class as the murdered boy starts finding evidence that her own daughter may have had something to do with the murder of her peer.

There is also a new movie that came out in 2018, although I have not seen the newer version (yet).

After hitchhiking, grand theft auto and a car wreck, they take a patrol officer hostage as police and the Texas highway patrol all pursue them. It becomes a risky gambit for all involved, and you would be shocked just how many resources were used to pursue this notorious outlaw couple.

There's also a 1985 version with David Carradine as the 'tard maintenance guy.  Only made it 20 minutes in before I gave up.  The '50s version, with the always scintillating Eileen Heckart, is the only one to watch, despite the hilariously bad Hays Code ending.

Lucy And Desi (2022). This documentary explores and uncovers the lives and careers of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz as well their rather rocky personal relationship and controversies before, during and long after they created one of the most famous American sitcoms "I Love Lucy" that aired in the 1950s. This documentary will reveal it all, even some of the sad secrets they would have rather kept out of public knowledge.

A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 dystopian crime film adapted, produced, and directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel of the same name. It employs disturbing, violent images to comment on psychiatry, juvenile delinquency, youth gangs, and other social, political, and economic subjects in a dystopian near-future Britain.

Alex (Malcolm McDowell), the central character, is a charismatic, antisocial delinquent whose interests include classical music (especially Beethoven), committing rape, theft, and ultra-violence. He leads a small gang of thugs, Pete (Michael Tarn), Georgie (James Marcus), and Dim (Warren Clarke), whom he calls his droogs (from the Russian word друг, which is "friend", "buddy"). The film chronicles the horrific crime spree of his gang, his capture, and attempted rehabilitation via an experimental psychological conditioning technique (the "Ludovico Technique") promoted by the Minister of the Interior (Anthony Sharp). Alex narrates most of the film in Nadsat, a fractured adolescent slang composed of Slavic languages (especially Russian), English, and Cockney rhyming slang.

What happens when you get a inept dimwitted incompetent loon as a failed criminal, who cannot help committing more crime trying to free himself from his past failures in life? As the criminal charges add up, so does his failures but that does not seem to stop the fool. What do we get? A mockumentary film directed by Woody Allen sounds all to plausible.

Hannibal jpg
(493.73 KB, 1016x1462)

I watched two movies yesterday which I've seen before, the previous times watching them were around the mid-2000s, both movies are pretty entertaining for a crime-solving horror genre.

Silence of the Lambs (1991): An FBI trainee is recruited to persuade a violent serial killer, "Hannibal the cannibal", to help cooperate and disclose what he knows about another mentally-deranged serial killer still on the loose, "Buffalo Bill", before another kidnapped woman gets skinned alive. To get a hold of solid testimony identifying the killer before it is too late, Hannibal requests transfer to a more accommodating prison where he can see the outdoors from his high-security prison cell. Considering he is a brilliant former psychologist who has outwitted and killed law enforcement in his past, this proves to be a very difficult and dangerous negotiation.

Hannibal (2001): Taking place 10 years after the first film, Hannibal remains a free fugitive on the FBI's top ten most wanted dangerous criminals. There is a heavy reward for information on his whereabouts that could lead to his capture. The price for that reward comes with great risk to anyone who dares try setting Hannibal up in a sting operation. The former FBI trainee now full time employee is still dedicated to the case, but has become ensnared in controversy when previous sting operations end up messy with agents and others unnecessarily killed. Regardless what the FBI thinks, it may be up to her to capture Hannibal as she knows him as well as he knows her.

Jesus Revolution (2023). Based on a true story about a Christian revival movement started in the early 1970s in the aftermath of the hippie movement, a pastor (at first hesitantly) welcomes a group of former hippies into his church to find Christ and tell their stories of how they became re-born. Much of the traditional old-school congregation became shocked and appalled when the doors to the church were opened to drop-outs, outcasts, misfits, hobos, drunks and drug addicts but none-the-less the pastor realized the only way to help save the youth was to welcome them with open arms to find Christ. And to the shock of the world it became the most successful Christian revival movement America had ever seen and to this very day thousands of troubled youth are still turning to God.

If you desire to read the whole story in detail, with spoilers, refer to the wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Revolution

I simply made a brief summary without including too much detail as I usually prefer doing. In no way am I into professionally critiquing films, nor have I heard anything about the pastor taking advantage of younger women (although that is entirely possible lol). If you find the story line interesting then you can research more yourself or simply watch the movie sometime.

I just watched this movie again today after finding out the actor Mark Margolis died. He played a character in the movie Pi who helps Max find the missing number before dying of a stroke. Good actor, also was known for his appearances on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul too.

Summer of '84 (2018). Taking place back in the year 1984 in the suburbs of Ipswich of Cape May, Oregon a group of teenagers are fascinated with the latest news about an unknown serial killer kidnapping and murdering teenagers around their local area. One of the teenagers swears he saw first hand evidence of a potential victim gone missing. The bizarre and ironic issue is that his testimony points to a police detective who has been neighbors with his family since he was a young child. Of-course no one would believe a well established police detective would be involved with a conspiracy to kidnap and murder teenagers, especially those in the local community. However, the group of teenagers stay dedicated to finding out who the killer really is, and gathering evidence no matter how risky the tasks may be. Could the killer happen to be someone everyone least expected?

PS: This is probably one of the best modern horror films I have seen since Desolation which came out a year before this film!

Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1972). A series of murders plague the Las Vegas strip. An investigative reporter takes up the case himself to attempt helping the local police identify the killer. The case gets odd when anomalies take place during the investigations, such as all victims having their blood consumed to the abnormal features of the killer from witnesses. Kolchak starts to suspect this killer is not exactly human, but the local police show a strong normality bias and rule that out... that is, until Kolchak can find solid proof.

Kolchak learns from the coroner's report that the all the victims' necks were crushed with brute inhuman strength, drained blood and traces of rotting flesh on their necks. After Kolchak consults a criminal records librarian to research other similar unsolved anomalies, he realizes the same strangler has struck before, again and again and again, every 21 years and then goes into hiding, with records dating back to the year 1889. When he confronts the local police about his study, as happened last time, they show a strong normality bias and do their best to refute certain evidence. Kolchak again has to come up with solid proof that the serial strangler is well over 100 years of age and may - or may not - be human.

The film stars Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Schwartzman as three estranged brothers who agree to meet in India a year after their father's funeral for a "spiritual journey" aboard a luxury train. The cast also includes Waris Ahluwalia, Amara Karan, Barbet Schroeder, and Anjelica Huston, with Natalie Portman, Camilla Rutherford, Irrfan Khan, and Bill Murray in cameo roles.

The film was released on October 26, 2007, by Fox Searchlight Pictures. The film received generally favorable reviews from critics and earned $35 million on a $17.5 million budget.[1] The film premiered at the 64th Venice International Film Festival in competition for the Golden Lion and was named among the Top Films of the Year at the 2007 NYFCO Awards.

Anderson's Hotel Chevalier, starring Schwartzman and Portman, acts as a prologue to the film. 

Like most Wes Anderson films, it has nice visuals and is kinda depressing and melancholic at the end of the film. For a few minutes at least

It was a good film, I wish I could find more like it honestly. Most modern horror films suck, most are all about shilling the newest flashy special effects and whoring gore but no believable or persuasive story to them and (mostly) mediocre acting. If you want a good film follow three rules: good story line that captures interest, good acting, keep politics out of it unless absolutely necessary for the premise of the story. I plan on watching more and posting about the good ones soon.

Silent Tongue (1994). Based on old Western folk lore about a Native American ghost and her grieving mentally unstable husband, his wife comes back from the dead to haunt him after the husband failed to burn her dead body. She threatens to curse him and his father, his father being the man who purchased her and introduced her to his son years ago before she passed away during child labor. Little does the son know the horrific past about the kidnapping and slave labor of his former Native American wife, or the fact she also has a sister who was sold by the same local carnival manager, an obnoxious drunk who regularly hosts freak shows and vaudeville acts with poor, disabled and trafficked victims exploited for profits. Will the father be able to convince his son to burn the dead body of his wife? Will the ghost's sister be the one to stop the haunting? Will the father and son both be cursed to an early grave? Will long overdue justice come to those engaged in human trafficking and inhumane exploitation? Watch this intensely insane and gritty old Western horror story to find out.

Chinatown (1974). Based in the 1920s era, a private investigator is hired to investigate an engineer working for the LA Water and Power company who is suspected of cheating on his wife, later to find out the woman who hired him is not the engineer's real wife. The purpose was to publicly discredit the engineer and cost him his job. After the effort failed, the engineer is found murdered and dumped into a local reservoir. The private investigation leads to a grand criminal conspiracy relating to a large dispute between the LA Water and Power company and the murdered chief engineer, who ended up refusing to build a new dam to divert water (presumably meant to stop LA's massive drought crisis). What is uncovered during this investigation involves massive corruption, graft and fraud: a scam to milk LA taxpayers while enriching new land owners who exploited the drought to buy up farm land for pennies on the dollar, before enriching themselves by diverting water with a new damn over to their new properties using taxpayer money from LA.

Hesitantly the father invites them into the home pressured by the generosity of his lonely daughter. However, not every single survivor invited into their home intends to remain friendly as rations are being depleted from the locked storage room. What's worse, the impact of global radiation is making existing wildlife mutate into creatures much more dangerous and unpredictable. Will the family and the survivors be able to survive?

A Night to Remember (1958). Based on the 1955 book by Walter Lord about the sinking of the great "unsinkable" Titanic ship. This film recalls true stories from survivors who were saved aboard lifeboats during that tragic event. Back in 1912 everyone in the world really believed the giant Titanic ship was unsinkable due to it's gigantic fortification. The ship lacked sufficient lifeboat capacity and there was no emergency contingency planning in the event of a crisis. When the ship allegedly struck an iceberg and was badly damaged, it took the crew by complete surprise and they had to do whatever they could, trying not to cause panic, to save as many women and children onboard as they could. Of-course this was plagued by scandal, as the first class were the first to be saved, leaving the third class as well the coal workers the last ones to be alerted, many of whom ended up going down with the ship.

Their lives did not pass in vain though. Today there are international regulations for all ships. There must be full lifeboat capacity to save every single person aboard by law in the event of a catastrophe. After the sinking of the Titanic, there were 24/7 radio vigils setup for the Atlantic and Pacific oceans with international ice patrol units, and national guards who help patrol the sea lanes in case of any emergency making traveling safe for everyone in the ocean.

When the wealthy home owners abruptly arrive in the middle of the night, the parents are informed there has been a massive blackout in New York City and all traffic is jammed. They ask to re-fund the visitors for the inconvenience while allowing them to temporarily stay until things get back to normal. As they all start to realize this is no ordinary cyber attack and that there is an imminent foreign hostile threat to America, they must band together and find a way to survive while the nation is brought into full blown kinetic war on American soil.

For a movie produced by Barack Obama this was a fantastic film I must admit. I would like to mention a couple issues with the film in regards to an actual EMP event. Some of the scenes in the movie were not very realist so... Spoiler alert: #1 the scenes where the deer surround the girl is super fake, as deer would never do such a thing. Deer are scared animals and are naturally terrified of human beings. #2 If an EMP were to happen both the internet and the power grid would go down, not one or the other. #3 What they did not portray enough of is the civilized breakdown. Society would be much more violent and chaotic then what that family had witnessed, and without food people quickly turn to crime to get it, this is simply human nature IRL. Regardless, this movie is definitely worthy of owning a physical copy on DVD. Very entertaining and the acting was good too.

Just watched The Equalizer (2014) and it was good.

Robocop

RoboCop is a 1987 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner. The film stars Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Daniel O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer. Set in a crime-ridden Detroit in the near future, RoboCop centers on police officer Alex Murphy (Weller) who is murdered by a gang of criminals and revived by the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products as the cyborg law enforcer RoboCop. Unaware of his former life, RoboCop executes a campaign against crime while coming to terms with the lingering fragments of his humanity. 

RoboCop has been critically reevaluated since its release, and it has been hailed as one of the best films of the 1980s and one of the greatest science fiction and action films ever made. The film has been praised for its depiction of a robot affected by the loss of humanity, in contrast to the stoic and emotionless robotic characters of that era. RoboCop has continued to be analyzed for its themes such as the nature of humanity, personal identity, corporate greed and corruption, and is seen as a rebuke of the era's Reaganomics policies.

Some of my favorite films were from the 1970s and 1980s anon. Nostalgia is only one reason. People acted more human and were not afraid of imperfection. You can tell the acting was much better during those eras. There was no "political correctness" or "woke" activism back then. This made the scripts and story lines much more attractive for everyone as well more diverse and interesting. Special effects were not computerized so film makers were forced to be more creative and actually hire stuntmen and have pyrotechnics for climatic scenes which made the movies more believable and "real" for the viewers. Overall I find I can relate to older films as they give off a real human vibe while watching them that I do not receive when watching most modern films, if that makes any sense :P

Hells Angels on Wheels (1967). Supposedly based on a true story. A group of bikers known as the "Hells Angels" take notice when a seemingly ordinary man, who happens to ride a motorcycle, gets fired after assaulting a customer at a gas station. After a brief compliment, the fired employee decides to hang out where the Hells Angels bikers are temporarily going. After getting into some confrontation with some of the bikers, the leader of the pack decides the newcomer is more like them rather than a foe. Hesitantly from some of the bikers in the gang, they decide to give the new guy a chance to hang out with them and ride along. When the newcomer meets a female companion of the bikers, he begins to fall in love with her only to find out she belongs to the leader and anyone the leader allows her to sleep with, not just him. This new-founding adventure with the Hells Angels comes with risk: lots of brawling, partying, broken hearts, drinking, drugs, crime and of-course some confrontation with local police.

Instead of being convicted of cold blooded murder she is ruled to be mentally insane and sent to an insane asylum.

20 years later, her doctor grants her freedom to stay with her daughter and get back to living a normal life, of-course with guidance and a routine check-up. Meanwhile her daughter wants to marry a good looking fellow from a wealthier family, only his parents are not in consensual agreement with the marriage. The two plan to get married regardless, but one problem hangs over both their heads: the rather unstable mother that is prone to violence and paranoia... [Editor's note: there is a lot more to this story, however I fear disclosing the rest would spoil a great and very unexpected surprise that makes this film such a classic psychological thriller].

Editor's note: this is by far the best modern film I have watched since some time. Very suspenseful film, thrilling story line, keeps you constantly wondering what will happen next. The film is a bit retro too, the story taking place in the early 1990s adding some nostalgia.

I got done watching the Godfather series. Parts I, II and III. Part I was great, an instant classic. Part II was very long and drawn out, a sequel yet also containing flashbacks reconstructing the history of the Godfather when he was much younger living in Sicily. A little too long if you ask me, but necessary for the final movie. Part III follows the Godfather's oldest son taking over the family business and concludes the rest of the story, ending in family tragedy. The storyline follows the Corleone crime family and their business operations, starting from Sicily and ending all the way to America (Miami, New York City and Las Vegas). Throughout the story there are many disputes, bribery, narcotics trafficking, assassination attempts, outside conflicts of interest, money laundering amid public scandal and criminal investigations into the crime family. Long, but well worth the watch.

Dark Waters (2019). This movie is based on a true horror story detailing real life events of systemic corruption between a major chemical manufacturing conglomerate (DuPont), many corporate attorneys and even unraveling the collusion behind corrupted US federal government agencies in an attempt to cover-up the largest human and wildlife poisoning scandal in the history of the world. In 1998, a corporate defense lawyer (Robert Bilott) working for Taft Stettinius & Hollister law firm is confronted by a farmer he once knew as a child regarding a mass die off and mutation of his cattle. He later finds out DuPont was dumping highly toxic chemicals in a nearby landfill. But that was only the beginning. Upon rigorous research, inquiries and investigation he finds DuPont is guilty of a massive conspiracy to knowingly cover up the deadly health effects of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA/C8) that has been used in nearly all consumer goods since the 1960s... and worse, collusion of federal agencies such as the EPA declining to take action against DuPont. Recent studies have shown 99% of human beings and wildlife now have trace amounts of perfluorooctanoic acid today which has dramatically increased cancer and organ failure. Next to no one can escape these deadly forever chemicals.

The pic was from a movie titled "River's Edge" from 1986, based on a true story about the murder of a teenage girl back in 1981. Do recommend watching that movie, it is a twisted film but a cult classic. The actor's name was Crispin Glover who played the amphetamine-addicted metal head "Layne" in the film.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Although proclaimed to be based on true events, this movie was inspired from the horror stories of two real-life kidnappers and serial killers, Ed Gein and Elmer Wayne Henley. Most of the story is fictional only inspired by two disturbing murderous American psychopaths.

The story goes as followed: five young adults take a road trip through Muerto County, Texas. As they pass by a cattle slaughter house they pick up a demented low IQ hitch hiker. The hitch hiker and his family happen to work at the slaughter house. When the mentally insane hitch hiker gets upset and stabs one of the adults he gets thrown out of the vehicle. The young group then stop at the nearest gas station, low on gas, but the gas station owner (who happens to be the father of the deranged hitch hiker) says he has no more gas to sell. They decide to visit a nearby abandoned house that was previously owned by the father of a friend. When they get there they decide to go exploring, only to find another house tucked out further in the boonies.... only this house was never abandoned. This house belongs to an unhinged family of murderers, one of the brothers being the hitch hiker and the other "Leatherface" who likes to kill his victims with a chainsaw, along with their father, the gas station owner. The fictional story emulates some of the grisly horrific details exposed after real-life killers Ed Gein and Elmer Wayne Henley were caught and put to trial. Body snatching, murder, mutilation, the collecting of victim's bones and skin, and the overall extremely mentally challenged and psychotic persona of this rural crime family. This movie is definitely a cult classic horror film, and not for the faint of heart.

Sin City (also known as Frank Miller's Sin City) is a 2005 American neo-noir crime anthology film directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller based on Miller's comic book series of the same name.[4] The film stars an ensemble cast led by Jessica Alba, Benicio del Toro, Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, and Elijah Wood, and featuring Alexis Bledel, Powers Boothe, Michael Clarke Duncan, Rosario Dawson, Devon Aoki, Carla Gugino, Rutger Hauer, Jaime King, Michael Madsen, Nick Stahl, and Makenzie Vega among others.

Much of the film is based on the first, third, and fourth books in Miller's original comic series. The Hard Goodbye is about an ex-convict who embarks on a rampage in search of his one-time sweetheart's killer. The Big Fat Kill follows a private investigator[5] who gets caught in a street war between a group of prostitutes and a group of mercenaries, the police and the mob. That Yellow Bastard focuses on an aging police officer who protects a young woman from a grotesquely disfigured serial killer. The intro and outro of the film are based on the short story "The Customer is Always Right" which is collected in Booze, Broads & Bullets, the sixth book in the comic series.

Sin City opened to critical and commercial success, gathering particular recognition for the film's unique color processing which rendered most of the film in black and white while retaining or adding color for selected objects. The film was screened at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival in competition and won the Technical Grand Prize for the film's "visual shaping"

The Blair Witch Project 

The Blair Witch Project is a 1999 American supernatural horror film written, directed, and edited by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez. It is a fictional story of three student filmmakers—Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams, and Joshua Leonard—who hike into the Black Hills near Burkittsville, Maryland, in 1994 to film a documentary about a local myth known as the Blair Witch. The three disappear, but their equipment and footage are discovered a year later. The purportedly "found footage" is the movie the viewer sees.

Myrick and Sánchez conceived of a fictional legend of the Blair Witch in 1993. They developed a 35-page screenplay with the dialogue to be improvised.

About 20 hours of footage was shot, which was edited down to 82 minutes. Shot on an original budget of $35,000–60,000, the film had a final cost of $200,000–750,000 after post-production edits.

The Blair Witch Project grossed nearly $250 million worldwide, making it one of the most successful independent films of all time, as well as the 29th most profitable horror film, while also being a sleeper hit. The film launched a media franchise, which includes two sequels (Book of Shadows and Blair Witch), novels, comic books, and video games. The film is credited with reviving the found-footage technique that was later used by similarly successful horror films such as Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield.

I remember when this film was first introduced some people actually thought it was real footage based on true events lol. Great film, don't get me wrong. I would definitely like to watch that film again sometime. They did a superb job camping out in the woods and making it look all authentic and surreal.

Damnation Valley (1977). Starting at the 123rd Strategic Missile Wing Tipton US Air Force Base in the middle of the Mojave Desert, California, the military crew detects incoming nuclear missiles from the Soviet Union. They naturally deploy all deterrents and retaliatory strikes, only there are not enough deterrents to save most American cities. Many American cities are reduced to radioactive dust. The power of the nuclear war between the US and the USSR has tilted the Earth's axis, creating deadly dangerous natural disasters on top of radioactive wastelands. As they spend months living in the underground bunkers of the base, an airman falls asleep dropping a lit cigarette, starting a small fire, which causes an explosion after reaching a gas pipe. Most of the crew die, including the base commander. The few who survived were temporarily outside the bunker. They decide to take the two Landmaster APCs from the fortified garage port after receiving a weekly radio transmission from Albany, New York, in order to find survivors. During their trip they come across harsh radioactive storms, colonies of mutated killer cockroaches, a stranded boy, a lovely lady, dangerous armed marauders and hemisphere-wide tsunamis.

Zodiac (2007). Based on true events surrounding the long investigation into the notorious Zodiac killer who sent detectives and federal investigators cryptic codes and letters containing vague hints about his future plans to hunt down more innocent victims. Finding this man is nearly impossible, as he leaves no solid evidence linking him personally to any of his crimes, and any evidence that is eventually found is all circumstantial evidence which is not admissible as evidence to prosecute. To track this spook down takes a lot of time, research and dedication. 

After a decade long investigation leading almost nowhere, a San Francisco cartoonist, who became obsessed with tracking down the Zodiac Killer willing to put his career aside to find out who exactly this killer was, offered to help former and current investigators identify the Zodiac killer. They came real close to solving this case, even determining who the real murderer actually was. Although the case was close to being solved, the most likely suspect of the case died from a heart attack in 1992.

Editor's note: although there have been many other suspects, this case has never been officially solved and there are still debates today about who the killer really was. Some independent investigations still continue today, all unsolved.

Hellfighters (1968). Based on a series of true events related to brave oil well firefighters who have risked their lives containing and clearing up dangerous oil rig disasters. A family man heads a Houston–based oil well firefighting company, Buckman Company. He got divorced many years ago yet still loves his former wife who became disgruntled over the danger and risk that comes with his career. When his daughter meets someone on her father's firefighting team after her father gets injured in a near-death experience, and falls in love, it brings the family back together for the first time in nearly 20 years. The father, head of Buckman Company, decides to resign and take a job on the board of directors of the Lomax Oil where his brother manages, so he can get back together with his former wife and live like a normal business man. 

That all comes to an abrupt end when he is called up by a former Buckman Company associate as well the National Guard and asked to help with the most dangerous daunting task yet - a national security relations concern - where five oil wells were sabotaged and up in flames by guerrilla fighters in (previously allied) Venezuela. Both the US and Venezuelan military promise them protection in the war zone if the Buckman Company promises to put out the fires. However, the family wives wish to face the danger traveling alongside their husbands and refuse to take "no!" for an answer.

Project X (1987). A Wisconsin graduate student was put on a funded research program to help train a chimpanzee to communicate with humans using sign language often used by blind people. Three years into the research program the funding by the NSF suddenly gets cut off, and she is forced to give back the chimpanzee. Hesitant to do so, yet out of her control, she offers to give back the chimpanzee on the condition it would go to a Houston zoo. As it turned out, the chimpanzee is relocated to a top secret project, known as "Project X", at the US Air Force base in Lockridge, Florida. The top secret project trains chimpanzees for flight simulation, only with a deadly twist. When an Airman relieved from previous duty over a scandal is re-assigned to Project X at the Air Force base, he notices this chimpanzee is unique and notices he can communicate using sign language. When he later finds out all these chimpanzees are being used as cannon fodder for this top secret experiment, he goes on an endeavor to find out who previously trained the chimpanzee, and to warn her, risking severe legal consequences. The previous trainer does her best to find out what is happening to the chimpanzees and why, and they both are about to risk everything to shut this questionably inhumane Project X down to save the chimpanzees.

The captain and his crew are baffled. How could this be, unless they traveled back in time, and if they had, did that electromagnetic storm have something to do with it? And what do they do, as the Japanese are preparing to bomb Pearl Harbor? Do they try to prevent the attack? Do they allow history to take it's course? What happens if they were to alter history? Or.... is history always being altered with no one realizing it?

Legend of Boggy Creek (1972). Do you recall the conspiracy of Bigfoot? What if that conspiracy was based on true legend? Hundreds of Americans from Texas to Arkansas have sworn they have seen a harry human-like creature who typically is spotted by hunters, fishers, campers and other outdoors enthusiasts. One small rural town near the bottoms; Fouke, Arkansas; had a couple dozen witnesses that have testified to seeing this unknown mystery of a monster. It is described as being seven foot tall, completely covered in reddish-brown hair, leaving three-toed tracks and having a foul odor. The Legend of Boggy Creek is a documentary that tells their horror stories, and re-enacts each of the stories from eye witness accounts. To this day, this creature was never captured and is said to still stalk the swamps of southern Arkansas.

Editor's note: Wildman of The Navidad (2008) is another movie based on the legend of Bigfoot sightings, except that film was focused on sightings in Texas, around the Navidad River bottoms. There have been many manhunts for this creature in both Texas and Arkansas. It is not known if this mysterious creature ever actually existed, it is still debated today, but hundreds of individuals and families have sworn they have seen it lurking around.

Network (1976). A longtime anchor for the UBS Evening News, Howard Beale, is down on his luck, became a drunk after his wife passed away and has been spinning out of control since. When he has just two more weeks on the air because of declining ratings, he decides to announce his decision to kill himself while broadcasting live on the network. The network is mired in panic and a state of shock, immediately calling for Beale to be fired... but their ratings start going through the roof after Howard is given one more chance live on air to announce his resignation, to which he ended up ranting about the bullshit of life instead. The UBS executives are being driven crazy, this is unprecedented, on one hand you have an anchor who is off his rocker, a mad man, but at the same time the network is finally getting a massive ratings boost. Americans love him. The programming chief has an idea: take advantage of this crisis while you can, this could make shares in the company skyrocket along with the ratings. When she persuades Howard Beale to star in his own show, that is where things start to get out of control, and once things get out of control it becomes more difficult for the network to fix the dangerous rut they just got themselves trapped into. Especially as a popular and influential man such as Beale turns against the very network that made him a star, and ends up threatening to bankrupt USB itself.

After hearing about Shelley Duvall passing away a month ago I made plans to watch this old movie again, it's been a long time since I first watched this film. I just watched it for the second time, yesterday night.

3 Women (1977). A new shy girl is hired at a health spa for the elderly in a small desert town in California. She meets a co-worker who is constantly socializing with people, and the new girl becomes obsessively intrigued by her co-worker. Upon discovering her co-worker needs a new roommate, she immediately takes the offer to live with her. Now this shy younger girl is living with a totally polar-opposite social woman who likes to drink and party all the time. As could be predicted, tensions begin to rise over their living situations and completely different lifestyles. After a heated dispute, the shy girl survives a suicide attempt but falls into a coma. The co-worker is shocked and devastated, having no intention of ever hurting her roommate in any way. After the co-worker visits her at the hospital on a routine basis, her shy younger roommate regains consciousness. The only problem is her roommate is not so shy anymore, her behavior and attitude has drastically changed. After the recovery the once-shy girl begins to drink, smoke and starts to sleep around with the local men. The shift in her personality starts to cause tensions to flare up once again, this time with another woman becoming pregnant and abandoned by a drunk they both have been sleeping around with.

The Blair Witch Project (1999). Depicting a documentary, this amateur film is a true horror story classic. The film purports to be footage found in the discarded cameras of three young filmmakers who had gone missing. In October 1994, film students Heather, Mike, and Josh travel to Burkittsville, Maryland to interview residents about the decades old legends of the mysterious Blair witch and the many missing children who have never been found. One local tells the story about Rustin Parr, a hermit who lived deep in the woods who abducted and murdered 7 children back in 1941 in his basement, killing them while having each one stand in a corner waiting to be the next victim. The film students decide to go hiking out in the woods that are rumored to be haunted by many killings and unsolved abductions over the years. As they hike deep into the woods they get lost along the way and cannot find their way out. Worse, something begins haunting them at night. They hear noises of children crying and laughing, branches from trees snapping, rocks being thrown, even their tent being shook in the middle of the night. When they wake up they discover piles of rocks set along side their tent, twigs twined together, paraphernalia hanging from trees, etc. When Josh goes missing, they try to find him. At night they hear him screaming and crying but never find him. They start becoming hysterical and panicked when they find Josh's bloody teeth and a severed finger wrapped up beside their tend early in the morning, realizing they really are being hunted.... but by whom, or what?

Editor's NOTE: This is a wholesome fun family film to watch with your kids, or grandkids. I like the story of this film because it will teach the younger generation right, from wrong. It also portrays the very real evil and threat to civilization by out-of-control obsessive war mongers. I'm surprised some neo-con war hawks don't want this film banned today.

Toys (1992). The owner of a toy manufacturing factory, Zevo Toys, is old and dying. He has two sons, one older who is full of laughs and joy, the other younger who is a Lieutenant General in the US Army. The owner decides, because of the lack of experience his older son has, that he rather hand over the family business to his younger son, a Lieutenant General who is obsessed about expanding war and angry over America's loss in Vietnam. When the younger brother takes over the company he proposes a preposterous plan to start making war toys, but not just any toys, toys armed with live munitions where kids can remotely control from the safety of their own homes, which can be used in battle to kill enemies and destroy other nations. The older brother is dead against this, and has to come up with a plan to stop his evil brother and his intentions to create murderous monsters out of innocent unsuspecting children who wouldn't know these toys are not mere video games in some fake virtual reality.

These are 1000x better than the shit that wombo faggot on ausneets shows.

There are classic movies out there waiting to be discovered, the problem is there are many more shitty movies constantly being created especially now days. It's hard for one really good movie to get the attention it really deserves when there are 100 other unoriginal movies made around the same time that suck ass. That's the conundrum of the movie industry.

It's fine if you can just sift to the crap. That's almost the same with every medium of entertainment.

A good old fashioned coming of age story with drugs & drinking & sex.

First off looks a little too fast paced. What is the story line? Is it a comedy, a suspenseful thriller, action-packed teen film or drama? Does it have any reasonably talented actors? There are very few Netflix films worth watching at least to my knowledge. Only a small handful of decent films are produced today, it is rather uncommon.

 >>/53292/
True. When people have the time. Most do not and that is why so many people do not bother watching movies today because they think everything sucks, and unfortunately they are 98% correct when they say that, they are just not aware about 2% of those films out there are actually great films with great story lines and talented actors/actresses.... IF they had the time to look and find them. That is what this thread was intended for. Great movie hunters who have the time and experience to sift through all the garbage to find those rare classic gems.

Any good movies watched as of recently anons? I might consider looking for some more, getting harder to find classic ones though.

Halloween is coming up, and this is a cult classic horror film some movie enthusiasts might be interested watching...

The Hills Have Eyes (1977). An average suburban family is traveling on vacation enroute to Los Angeles with their dogs and their trailer. When they are in the middle of the vast Nevada desert they start running low on fuel and need to stop for more gas. When they reach a small rural gas station the owner warns them to keep on the main road, to absolutely avoid taking any detours and to avoid the surrounding areas. The father dismisses the gas station owner's warnings as an old kook's rambling conspiracy theory and decides to take a shortcut. When they skid off the road and crash, they have no option but to camp out in the nearby area at night. Their dogs are the first to notice something dangerous and hostile is lurking in the surrounding mountainous terrain. Unaware and caught off-guard at first, the family is being stalked by local inbred savages who often rape and murder trespassers, also engaging in acts of cannibalism. The family must find ways to survive until they can seek refuge and be rescued.

It's those who post such gay spam that are mentally retarded and ill. I'll just continue bumping decent threads whenever I see it pop up again.

 >>/53941/
Alright! But can these mentally ill people like the one who posted the death threat stop existing in general?

 >>/53943/
If only.

 >>/53958/
Yeah, they should all become better people.

> Starring Perry alongside Kimberly Elise, Steve Harris, Shemar Moore, and Cicely Tyson, it tells the story of a woman who is thrown out of her house by her husband on their 18th wedding anniversary and subsequently moves in with her grandmother, and is the only film written, but not directed, by Perry. 

That's pretty much the TL;DR of it. Simian Jimmy / Mumkey Jones made a video about the movie/s a while ago.

It looks interesting. I haven't seen the first movie though. So I'm trying to see that one before doing this new one.

 >>/54108/
These movies can be found all over P2P networks (Fopnu, SLSK, Ares Galaxy, DC++ etc) and Bit Torrent proxy sites (KAT, TPB etc). As long as you are not a very young phone-only posting normie you'll be able to find the 1080p rips and can use a thumb drive to watch them on any post-2006 TV set using the USB port in the back of the set. Literally that simple.

yeah it's probably an easy to get movie nowadays. I don't have much free time lately to do it, but I'll look into it. Thanks for the help anon.

 >>/54262/
As long as you are not a complete imbecile when it comes to the online world you know there are peer-to-peer and bit torrent clients and you can get almost any kind of media today online.

> This Is Spinal Tap (also known as This Is Spın̈al Tap: A Rockumentary by Martin Di Bergi) is a 1984 American mockumentary comedy film co-written and directed by Rob Reiner (in his feature directorial debut). The film stars Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer as members of the heavy metal band Spinal Tap, who are characterized as "one of England's loudest bands". Reiner plays Martin "Marty" Di Bergi, a documentary filmmaker who follows them on their American tour. 

> The film satirizes the behavior and musical pretensions of rock bands and the perceived hagiographic tendencies of rock documentaries such as The Song Remains the Same (1976) and The Last Waltz (1978), and follows the similar All You Need Is Cash (1978) by the Rutles. Most of its dialogue was improvised and dozens of hours were filmed.
