Among the top, outside Forrest Gump, I put The Fifth Element, The Iron Giant, Minority Report, Titan A.E., The Time Machine, Gattacka and a few more. Outside sci-fi? There's one movie which I definitively recommend and that's Yojimbo; both for its importance in cinematography and also for being a humorous, yet well conceived samurai drama. |
Love me some sci-fi too! Glad to see a fan of The Iron Giant, Minority Report, and Gattaca.
And Yojimbo is a great movie. I'd also recommend Throne of Blood, Seven Samurai, Kagemusha, and Ran - all Kurosawa.
@OP: I love movies too. In fact, they're my first love. Starting in 1997 I started getting more and more into cinema. In 2001 it really exploded for me. By 2008, I had begun to move more seriously into video games and didn't watch as many movies as I used to. But I still adore them.
Some of my favorite filmmakers are Hitchcock, Kurosawa, Wilder, Kubrick, Scorsese, Lean, Fellini, Cocteau, Renoir, Yimou, Joon-Ho Bong, Mann, Cameron, Miyazaki, Lang, Malick, etc. I could go on forever.
Some of my favorite movies: L'Atalante, 2001: A Spacy Odyssey, Metropolis, Double Indemnity, It Happened One Night, The Grand Illusion, etc.
As far as negativity about the current movie industry, I totally get it. There are so many remakes, sequels, and creatively-bankrupt tentpole projects. And I'm not a fan at all of the serialized world-building Disney/Marvel and Warner Bros./DC are doing. I want a movie that's independently entertaining and meaningful. I don't want to watch the next episode in an ever-expanding cinematic universe.
I think the negativity is caused by the fact that people these days are busy arguing over the significance of blockbuster movies which were just created to entertain us.
Movie tip: Starlet (2012, with Dree Hemmingway)
Best indie movie I've seen in a long time. A beautiful glimpse of modern society. Don't read the synopsis if you want to avoid spoilers.

I go to the movies with my brother to escape a bit of the reality and enjoy movies we think will be excellent. I generally favor comedy and drama over the rest of the genres. I'm a sucker for a good action movies.
I must say that The Shawshank Redemption, Inception, Chinatown and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest were the movies that impacted me the most.

I have watched it about as many times as you. It was a special movie for me, for a host of reasons that went beyond the movie itself. I was laughing so hard the first time I watched it, I was laughing silently at times. My friend, who did not like the trailers/ads at all, was watching it with me along with his son. His audible displeasure actually enhanced the experience for me. I get what you say about burnout, I have barely looked at it over the last several years. Have you watched the alternate audio-track versoions? I believe there are 2 alt versions. The "What they were really saying" version, and the Mandarin version. Some solid deleted scenes too.

Haha oh no I have not heard of these versions :D
you making me watch it again
For me it was me and two friends that stumpled upon this movie and then we watched it and from then on we went on to just quote every single line from this movie every day for like 2 years (while we were at school) it was absolutely crazy.
And even now when I talk in english (not my native language) I sometimes make quotes from the movie... yeah I really enjoyed it
good to know we were not the only ones ;D
Just heard that The Rock will produce and star in the Jumanji remake...and Kevin Hart might be in it as well.

I love movies, obviously movies by Ghibli are my favorites.
Anything Quentin Tarantino and Terry Gilliam make is also awesome while Ridley Scott has redeemed himself with The Martian. Of any new directors Christopher Nolan is my favorite and Neill Blomkamp has my attention.
Sci-fi is my favorite genre, but not the superhero kind. I'm kinda done with super hero movies. CGI is still hit and miss to me, something like the hateful eight is so much more impressive and enjoyable to watch. Damn that movie is well made. I always buy movies on blu-ray, best quality and I love the extras.
Currently I'm debating whether to buy the Revenant in 4K. First movie that looks promising enough for the new format (actual 4K master, not upscaled) However $35!
Thank you for the responses.
Got me thinking about first time went to the local cinema. It was "Beauty and the Beast", the Disney version. First time I saw animation of that quality and being on a big screen really impressed by the level of craftmanship. I was so enthralled I still had a nearly full bucket of popcorn at the end. I went back and saw it a few years ago and it still holds up technically and just as something to watch.
How was your first experience? Would you watch that movie even today?

^ I have Beauty and the Beast on blu-ray as well as a couple of other Disney movies. It still looks stunning.
Apparently the first movie I watched in the theater was Bambi, I was too young to remember. It must have been a re-release because I'm not that old! The first I remember is Jungle book which I watched at school.
I still watch them today, have to educate my kids :) They're more into the modern stuff though, Toy story 3, Despicable me, Wrecked Ralph, Frozen and Ponyo.
