[NT] Post the name of the nice movie you've seen recently

[Maha Raj]

Everybody has different taste, but NTs have a very distinctive taste... Post here the name of a recently released movie you enjoyed so much and worth mentioning to others...

Please, don't make fun of other people's taste... I personally get hurt if someone laughs at me for suggesting a movie. Just don’t hurt anyone. You can always give your opinions without hurting anyone.

The Man From Earth

User comment found at IMDB says "I highly recommend "Man from Earth" to any and all who love intelligent science fiction. A friend downloaded the film, illegally no doubt. I've watched it three times thus far, and I'll be the first in line to buy the DVD (legally =) this coming Tuesday.
"

I watched this movie. The only reason they say it is a science fiction, because of John Oldman's "non human characteristic". But I pictured John Oldman as a symbol of "History".

No Country For Old Men. If you're a Cohen Brothers fan (Blood Simple, Fargo, Big Lebowski) you won't be disappointed.

Dogma,
Along standing favourite of mine. I re watched it recently and it's still just as filled with fascinating detail as the first time I watched it.

(Not sure that all NTs have particular tastes, my usual film is an action film and they're pretty generic.)

not that i think criticizing others taste in movies makes much sense, but i almost wear certain movies others hated as a badge of honor.

"you didn't like such and such movie? wow, i loved it... i'm obviously able to see more clearly the value of the movie... so, despite your horrible taste in movies we can still be friends"

that's at least the gist of what i think when i see a bad review or meet someone that didn't like what i like ... the more they don't like it the more i like it. maybe that's just my "i-am-a-unique-snowflake-do-not-test-me" side coming through

edit: and back to the topic, it's kind of old but "A Life Less Ordinary" i liked a lot. been playing recently on hbo or w/e.

The way u said it is fine. But some people say things that seem okay when they say them, but the meaning behind them really hurts. Like saying, “you enjoyed that movie, it made me puke". Without describing what content made them puke, they say things generally. Think about it, if someone says this to a movie like "Babel" which has lots of cultural settings, people from those cultures might feel hurt.

I personally hate “Babel”. But it has nothing to do with the cultures depicted in the movie. Only the contents of story I hate, but I like the settings and the camera angles.

88 Minutes, Nice movie. Al Pacino did a great job.

 

[Lurker]

A nice movie.

Coincidentally, Babel is one of my definite favorites, mainly because of the part set in Tokyo. For the other three storylines I agree the content is nothing special (I don't hate it though), but the part with the deaf girls really stands out. And that has very little to do with the cultural setting, but everything to do with the content.

Other than that I like... Garden State. I'm not sure why, it doesn't have an amazing story or genius plot twists, etc. But I'll dip into gestalt psychology and insist the whole is more than the sum of its parts. I just love watching this movie.

No Country For Old Men. If you're a Cohen Brothers fan (Blood Simple, Fargo, Big Lebowski) you won't be disappointed.

I'm a fan of their work, but this one was less polished than some of their past movies. I liked it, but it was also thoroughly disturbing and left me with very mixed feelings.

My most recent favorite was Pride and Prejudice which I saw last winter several times.
Kiera Knightly was excellent in it.

Sense and Sensibility was also an excellent movie, going on the Jane Austen theme. I was pleasantly surprised to see Alan Rickman in it (who also plays Prof. Snape in Harry Potter). It also features Hugh Grant and Hugh Laurie (the actor who plays the infamous doctor House) in a side role.

Sense and Sensibility (1995)

As for other obscure but excellent movies, the film Nicholas Nickleby based on a novel by Charles Dickens was quite entertaining and uplifting.

Nicholas Nickleby (2002)

Miss Potter was an interesting film. It has an unusual twist which I shall not give away, but the story does a fascinating job of debunking the happy ending while still managing to come around to the happy ending at the end of the film.

Miss Potter (2006)

Lastly, as far as recent films, I rather enjoyed Neil Gaiman's Stardust.

Huh . . . yeah, that's actually what I was gonna post. Was the last movie I saw in theaters that I really enjoyed.

Saw two at a film festival at my school that are probably worth mentioning since my primary choice has already been stated

Notre Musique--very technically artistic, very dense . . . a thinker flick,

and Les Invasions Barbares, which may be the most emotionally gripping movie I've ever seen (even if a lot of the effect is, basically, pretty cheap).

I recently saw "August Rush" and "Bella" in theaters. I enjoyed both. "August Rush" was more mainstream, but the soundtrack was beautiful and the story was enjoyable IMO. It was a bit of a heart-jerker.

Bella was also good (almost a breath of fresh air). There's no violence, sex, or explosions involved...it's just about regular 'ole life...which in a way, is kinda nice.

Freaky serendipity. I was just wondering what (if anything) happened to you, I hadn't seen you post in ages and you're in here quoting me.

I enjoyed both of these.

Serenity, the movie based on the Firefly series. Awesome movie. Made me decide to order the series on DVD! *can't wait until it comes in the mail*
