I also highly recommend Primal Fear btw. I really think you will like it. Just please don't watch the trailer.
What was the last movie you watched?
- Thread starter jamesblakefan#1
- Start date

That's the idea though? Because it doesn't give away anything. When the trailers make you want to watch the film, that's when you know they won't be good, generally speaking.

Trailers never make me want to watch films. Show me a trailer that would leave me curious about what's inside a movie.

That's fine but you do watch trailers. And I believe you didn't mind SLY and SLP trailers all that much.

That was to check other things but trailers don't tend to have a positive impact on my interest levels for a movie. Generally I avoid trailers.

For me, it's 3rd due to emotional factor. Although I watched them all at one go, many kids who has grown up watching the first two would have felt emotional since the gap between 2nd & 3rd is 11 years. I guess many were in Andy's shoes.

I am a fan of fantasy movies. I can't pick one particular animated movie since I like them all. But I like Timon and Pumbaa and Ben 10 television series the most. The recent movies that I have watched Toy Story films, Despicable Me 3 and Moana. Though I have planned to watch a few of them like The Lion Kings,UP, Shrek and the rest of the Despicable Me. What else do you suggest? What kind of movies do you like?

I like a lot of animated movies.. it's probably the type of movie that has the highest chance of satisfying me lol.
You can't go far wrong with The Lion King, or most Walt Disney classics for that matter. Still a lot for me to catch up on and I really want to watch Moana so I might get around to that soon. I HIGHLY recommend How to Train Your Dragon. Kung Fu Panda is a lot of fun too.

Oh that "I have watched something good and I want to share it with someone" feeling.
I will add How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda to my list then. And you really should watch Moana with this man voicing for one of lead characters.

I've already watched three of her recommendations in the last week or two so what more does she want?
I'll watch Moana soon enough and get back to you.

There are so many more I want to watch though. I guess my list is 50 or so long? And I know I'm going to love most of them. For starters, I want to complete the classic Walt Disney catalogue as well as the Studio Ghibli catalogue, so that alone is probably 30-40 movies. I haven't seen any of the classics from Walt Disney after Mulan other than Atlantis, and look how many have been released since 1998/2001.

Lol! No shame in disliking the Star Wars universe. Episodes 1,2,3 put a bad taste in my mouth but they did that for everyone. I've watched the recent Star Trek movies, enjoyed them but still lost at certain times.It is a good movie and very well done, but I think I started watching very late at night and after watching that far I put it off, because I felt I needed to go to bed and finish it the next day, and for some reason, I could never find the time to finish it. I know it sounds rather lame but funny story, I am also hiding from my co-worker Sheriff who is also after me for not finishing it. lmho!
I really promise that one of these days I will finish it.
Gawd, I could never watch Star Wars and I've made so many failed attempts. Star Trek more aligns with my ideas (or the way I think) whereas Star Wars just feels plain dumb. I never get it. lol

Teaser trailers do make the best trailers. I've been going to the movies often ever since I got this movie pass and let me tell you how sick I am of watching the same old trailers so I've learned to get to the movies about 10-15 mins after movie start time unless it's a big movie where seats will be scarce haha.
Just watched Marshall tonight. Great movie, highly recommended. Put it on your list!

"Missing" was interesting, intense.

Recent Star Trek movies (the prequels) aren't all that good though watched all of them. Too much action and much less substance as with all other sci-fi these days - no build up just straight to action. I really like the old ones. Every one likes Wrath of Khan but my personal favourite is The Motion Picture (1979) and also, The Undiscovered Country (1991).

But if you go in 10-15 minutes after the movie start time, aren't you running the risk of missing those moments? I can see getting away with a rom com but well built and serious movies tend to have all scenes really well crafted and leaves a lot of clues in every scene. Or do you mean the trailers just before the movie starts that tend to go on forever? Then that's brilliant though I won't take the risk because I like a nice seat! One of my EXs had the tendency to run late in movies and that would always **** me off and it especially pissed me off one time when we couldn't get any decent seats, so had to take one those very front seats where you basically have to look up to the screen in order to see the movie and that night I remember coming home with a stupid neck pain.
Will check out Marshall, yes. Looks to have a dashing story.

Fair Game was interesting, too. Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, a 500 tonne sale of yellowcake uranium, aluminum tubes for enrichment, and of course the Bush administration and Iraq.
Yup. Now busy quoting youAre you busy quoting yourself? Awww...

Sounds very interesting. Strange that I would have missed it considering I have seen a bunch of movies from that region (actually Iran). Must get it.

Hahaha that reminds me, I had a friend that used to be a stoner. He had to smoke up before every movie we went to. The movie would be starting at 10pm and he'd be like yo I need to smoke and I look at the time, it's 9:55 and we are at least 10 mins away. What's worse is I don't smoke and we would miss the first 5 mins of every movie!!!!!!!! Arghhhhh. But thankfully he's given up that lifestyle lol.
That's why he's an EX. You choose your priorities
I saw Blade Runner today, it was good. I think I was tired so I may have been close to dozing off but I still managed to watch it all and enjoy it.

Netflix has recently launched it but I saw it a few years back. Maybe around 2012/2013. It's very well made and has a very compelling story. It's definitely your kind of movie. That's why I am recommending it to you. Let me know once you've watched it.

Smoking should be done with. Terrible habit. I picked it up a bit in college. Was more like trying to fit in and looking cool and what not. lmho
Oh I then don't think Blade Runner is that good if you dozed off even for a bit.
