Tag anyone else I'm forgetting please, and anyone else who wants to talk about movies, hop on in, tell me your favorites.

I made the unfortunate mistake of seeing Slenderman with some friends. Worst movie I've seen this year. Holy fuck, it wasn't even the good kind of bad horror movie. At least Truth or Dare was entertainingly bad. This film was boring bad, which is the worst thing a horror movie can be. It didn't even have any good jump scares, which while I'm not a fan of, at least it's something.

I just noticed that the last topic died yesterday! :(

I was just about to bump it, too... oh well.
---

I ended up watching Billionaire Boys Club.

...I'm not a fan.
---

There is nothing in theaters worth seeing atm

I watched Goblet of Fire a few days ago. Best Harry Potter movie
---

I watched Ready Player One last night, cool flick, a LOT of pop culture and gaming references and characters.

It's not a movie, but i'm about to start Stephen King's Castle Rock on Hulu. Just started the first episode.
---

Recently watched Super Troopers 2. It was entertaining.
---

I'll finally be able to get to the theater tomorrow to see Fallout.
Then BlacKkKlansman next week.

Wow, somehow managed to not hear about it at all. How bad was it?

Eh, IDK about that. July was kind of weak, but we're starting to get more good stuff back in, August's a lot better. Eighth Grade was good, Crazy Rich Asians was good. BlackkKlansman I still need to see, but it looks really good. I've also heard decent things about Christopher Robin.

I still haven't seen Ready Player One. I've heard it was fine, but that it's worth watching more for the references and visuals than the story.

I liked the first one, still haven't checked out the second one yet.

I'm still trying to convince my GF to go see it with me. I think she will, but now we also both have classes starting back up, so our free time's bout to drop tremendously.

Also, I still haven't seen every Harry Potter movie. >_>

Only seen the first 4. I remember liking Goblet of Fire well enough though, but it was also my favorite of the books.
---

Yeah I haven't seen anything lately. Just been catching up on shows. I'll probably go see something tomorrow
---

Finally saw Argo...pretty good.

Up next is Upgrade...heard good things about it.

IMHO the last 4 go:

8 > 6 > 7 > 5 309

However I am somewhat biased against 5 because it used to be the only DVD of the Harry Potter movies I owned, so it's the one I saw the most and I eventually got sick of it. Definitely not a shot at the quality of the film.

Hell yeah my Cinemark is showing BlackKklansman today. Gonna get my ticket before MoviePass gets all dumb later

5 was always my least favorite book TBH, so I probably wouldn't like the film much either.

I had to cancel my moviepass. I was willing to stick it out through the limiting of movies, the potential price raise, everything, but my GF and I were gonna go see Eighth Grade, saw an available showtime on the app, went down to the theater, and by the time we got there, MoviePass no longer had ANY showtimes available. That was enough BS to push me over.
---

I dont really know how Id rank the books since I read them after watching the movies & likewise my memories arent as distinguished, but tbh Prisoner of Azkaban was the last movie I really enjoyed.
---

You gotta get on that Waffle, Harry Potter movies are fantastic, even the later ones.
---

Blackkklansman was so damn good. Shame they had to add that stuff right before the credits though
---

American Animals was really cool. The cuts to the real people behind the story were nice and there were a lot of smart editing tricks here and there.

"You can come up now" is an especially memorable moment. Intense as hell

I really should, but I just haven't gotten around to it. At this point, I'd also want to start from the beginning, so it'd be a long haul.
---

I rewatched The Princess Bride yesterday, still one of my favorite movies. It's amazing how witty, fun writing can take a film that very easily could have been a B-fantasy film that gets forgotten, and turns it into an all-time great.
---

If you're still looking for anime movies to watch. Flavors of Youth on Netflix is great.
---

I'm always down, I'll give it a look when I get the chance.
---

I'm likely watching Hereditary tonight, been waiting on this one for a while.
---

Carol is a good movie
---

Locke is a GREAT movie
---

I just watched 12 Angry Men for the first time. Holy fuck, that was fantastic. Kept me gripped and invested the entire way through. I now see why it's so highly acclaimed.
---

12 Angry Men is in my top 5.
---

Curious which you guys prefer, 12 Angry Men or To Kill A Mockingbird?

Personally, I loved both, but I think 12 Angry Men captured me more then Mockingbird did.

Inside Out (2015)
This was a pleasant surprise! The last Pixar movie that I really liked was Up, and while I havent really disliked any, I feel like their output this decade has been generally pretty average outside their shorts, but I enjoyed it quite a bit! Surprisingly downbeat tone for most of the movie, which I felt was pretty ambitious for a movie aimed at a younger audience. The emotional parts felt actually organic - an element I feel has been missing from most of Pixars movies this decade. The Minnesota references were a nice bonus for lifelong residents like myself, too.

I wouldnt quite put it in the same ranks as Finding Nemo or Ratatouille, but imo it easily earns the title for Pixar movie of the decade (though to be fair I havent seen Brave, Monsters University or Coco yet). Also the casting was phenomenal, even by Pixar standards! 8/10

Also watched The Kid (1921) a few days ago. Review coming... whenever.
---

I adore INside Out. Honestly, it's my favorite Pixar movies. Very few movies tackle stuff like depression, the death of innocence/childhood, and the general emotional turmoil that happens as a kid, let alone in a damn Pixar movie, and they handled it very well.

Just watched The Conjuring 2. I liked it a lot, honestly probably better than the first one. The CG was a little rough, but it wasn't too distracting, and it made me pretty hype to see The Nun in a couple weeks.
---

sorry, I haven't really been visiting this topic since I've been re-watching Breaking Bad, and haven't seen any movies in a while.

anyway, i just felt like it was too similar to other movies like it, of business executives walking a "gray line", and idk if it handled any part of the story well
---

Well since it's a new topic, I guess I might as well repost my (again updated) list:

5/10
Scream (1996)

6/10
Dark City (1998)
It Follows (2014)

Paprika (2006)
The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)

I guess I will jump into this since I watch more movies than anybody.

My summer break just ended but I ended up watching 248 movies this summer, breaking my previous summer record of 227 set last year.

So far I have watched 418 movies this year. My record for a year is 517 set last year, so I am on a pretty good pace to beat that.

Last movie I watched was Summer of '84. I liked it, give it a 7/10 but I was really surprised how little it tried to cash in on 80s nostalgia since I assumed that was the whole point. There really aren't that many references to 80s things.
---

I watched Pitch Perfect yesterday, my girlfriend made me watch it.

Meh.
---

To All The Boys I Loved Before
8/10

It is sort of generic, but it is a very cute movie. Lana Condor is so great and adorable.
---

BlacKkKlansmam is great.
---

I've watched just about every horror movie on Netflix and only a couple of them are scary.

Netflix needs more japanese horror stat.
---

idk, the only Japanese horror movie that I can remember liking was Audition
---

I still need to watch the original Japanese Ring.

Or any version tbh, I've heard the American one was solid too, only the sequel sucked right?

I just watched all of The Ring movies (Japan and US) a few weeks ago.

IMO only the first Ringu, Rasen/Ring Sprial, and Sadako 3D are worth watching.
---

Watched The Kissing Booth with my girlfriend.

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would tbh. It handled its main characters fairly differently than most shitty chick flick rom coms do, and I appreciated it.
---

Finally got to watch Annihilation.

I enjoyed it. Some of the effects were a little... eh, tbh. The movement of the creatures didn't feel very fluid for the most part, and there was some weird cuts here and there, but overall, pretty enjoyable open-ended sci-fi thriller.
---

---

Haven't watched any more movies since Annihilation, season 2 of The Good Place is on Netflix now so I've been bingeing that lol.
---

Bump

That scene with the manbearpig in the house is one of the most terrifying things I've seen in years.

Absolutely. I love his character, he and Jason probably have the best one liners in the show, hands down.

See, I liked the concept and the voice made it unnerving, but IDK what it was but the creature's motions just didn't feel very fluid to me. To be fair, I was also watching it on a laptop and I know the director explicitly stated that it's a film he wanted people to see on the big screen, but still.
