IDK about you guys, but I'm a huge movie buff. We have a music thread, so I think a movie thread could work.

What's the last movie you saw? How many times are you going to see Star Wars Ep. VII? Are you watching anything right now? Any ones you want to see in the future? What's your favourite movie of all time?

I'm currently watching the atrocious movie American Warships. It's a ripoff of Battleship, the already awful movie from 2012.

Enjoy this thread!

My favourite part of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope is when Han Solo convinces everyone that he's leaving when things look grim, but then barely any time passes and he shows up to participate in the celebration.

Yes.

I am tempering my expectations for SWE7.

Is "animated" or "cartoon" a genre of movie (think Ghibli, Disney, or Dreamworks)? Also, I'd say martial arts films are in their own category, which means they're missing from the current poll.

I have tickets to Star Wars VII at the Chinook theatre with 11 of my buddies. I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars but I prefer it over Star Trek pretty easily.
I prefer Tarantino movies like Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction, or spaghetti westerns/B-movies like Machete or Once Upon A Time in Mexico.

Some of my favourite movies in no particular order:

Jurassic Park
Pulp Fiction
RoboCop
Fox and the Hound
Shaolin Soccer
Once Upon a Time in China
Fearless
Nightmare Before Christmas
Scott Pilgrim vs the World
Kingsman: The Secret Service

Mix of recent and older stuff. Judge my tastes as you wish.

Also, for those who have like 3 hours to kill, I recommend trying Bollywood movies if you're good with reading subtitles. I liked one called "3 Idiots" but Bollywood movies run a lot longer than your standard Hollywood fare.

Also, for those who have like 3-4 hours to kill, I recommend trying Bollywood movies if you're good with reading subtitles. They're pretty interesting actually though I haven't found one I loved as much as the aforementioned titles.

Shoot, I completely forgot "animated" as a genre.

Sports and movies are my life.

I just Creed a little while ago and it's my favourite of the year so far, hopefully Star Wars can change that :naughty:

Have you not seen Mad Max? Fantastic, one of my favourites of all time. Up there with Contact and Star Wars.

These days, Television >>>>>> Movies. Especially shows on premium cable.

Because movie companies don't seem to care about the quality of their movies I'm not watching them for a month.

You should watch it now.
I've seen all the originals, I thought they were terrible. I think the story was lame, the acting was god awful and they were cheesy as ****. Same goes for Star Trek, just terrible. I'd rather not subject myself to that torture again.

this should be for TV and movies though.

I highly recommend Jessica Jones and Sherlock. Giving Agent Carter & Daredevil a chance now.

I also very highly recommend Banshee and Justified.

Also HBO released the first teaser trailer for GOT Season 6.
