Which are the best movies you've watched?
 
I've been watching a lot of movies on putlocker and have sort of run of good movies to watch.....

Can you recommend some really good movies? The traditional commercial crap gets a bit tiring

I liked all of Tarantino's movies because he's a bit mental for example

Thanks in advance

Instead of Best Movie, I'll go best movies with great villains. Delicious villainy makes a movie so visceral and memorable. I'll even go so far as to rank the villainous performances. Feel free to disagree, it makes things even more fun.

DAEMANOs top 10 movies with GREAT villains

10. No Country for Old Men - Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) - Amoral never seemed to make so much sense.

9. Cape Fear - Max Cady (Robert Deniro) - Crazy in a real kind of way that turns the stomach.

8.Training Day - Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington) - Never more quotable than this out of control archetypal cop born bad.

7. Casino - Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci) - Out quoted Harris above to become one of the most intense villains ever depicted.

6. There Will Be Blood - Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day Lewis) - Took Gordon Gecko's "greed is good" line to the next level, then topped that. Nearly non-fiction in it's depiction of greed in capitalism.

5. The Last of the Mohicans - Magua (Wes Studi)
- Revenge personified. Evil. A force of nature. Magua just kept coming with the laser focus of a ravenous apex predator.

4. The Silence of the Lambs - Hannibal Lecter - (Anthony Hopkins) - More impossibly manipulative than any character filmed. LittleFinger studied the manual, but couldn't truly understand it. Shout out to GoT and Crouching Tiger.

3. The Dark Knight - The Joker (Heath Ledger) - Complete immersion in the character ended up creating this unsubtle yet nuanced wrecking ball of chaos. Words couldn't do this justice. He made this movie great by sheer willpower.

2. Gangs of New York - Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day Lewis) - The method acting master single-handedly rescued this film from its' schmaltzy love story and elevated his scenes to some of the greatest ever filmed. Bill is terrifying every time he shows up and, like Ledger's Joker, hangs like a dark shadow over scenes he isn't in.

1. Die Hard - Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) - No villian ever seemed more in control and ahead of every institution of order as Hans Gruber. He used the press, mocked the president of a multinational corporations, ignored the LAPD, and toyed with the FBI simultaneously en route to his end. There were no problems for Hans... except... you know who. My mind is blown thinking this was Rickman's big screen debut. He owned this character and movie with the nuanced performance of a lifetime. Without Rickman's Gruber there is no blockbuster Die Hard and in turn, no Bruce Willis' A-List career. So quotable. "Mr. Takagi won't be joining us for the rest of his life." So wickedly funny. Now everyone, shoot the glass for Alan Rickman and go watch Die Hard.

Bonus...
Gladiator - Commodus (Joakin Phoenix) - The guy deserved the name that eventually came to mean toilet.

Bonus Bonus... Non-humans
Alien(s) - The Alien
Jaws - The Shark
Terminator - T800 (The Governator)
Terminator 2 - T1000 (Robert Patrick)
Star Wars ep 3-6 - Darth Vader (humanoid)
Star Wars ep 1 - Darth Maul (another humanoid)

If you loved Cape Fear than the other two should appeal. Both No Country and Cape Fear have that steady crescendoing pace that creates drumskin-like tension intended for adults. Popcorn time!

So as not to repeat previously posted awesome movies I'll just add:
Primer - Get the lube ready because your mind is about to be f*cked raw.
The Raid Redemption - One long ass fight scene
The Raid 2 - Another long ass fight scene

If you can find it check out the old movie Castle Keep. Most bizarre yet strangely appealing war movie ever made.

recently watched Whiplash and was extremely surprised by it. It won the Grand Jury award for the Cannes film Festival the year it came out

I really liked revolver and chaos starring Jason Statham, they also have pretty good villains (a bit unconventional for revolver but good movie nonetheless)

Like La Femme Nikita, there is only one Oldboy that counts. Instant classic.

**Props though to the Nikita TV series starring Maggie Q which was surprisingly respectable.

RFaD was described as "the best movie I only want to see once." by a smart person I can't remember the name of. Man that movie hurt. Also "Dancer in the Dark" starring Bjork. Here is a list of a few others.

Oh requiem for a dream, how you crushed my perception of the three main actors lol Marlon Wayans (can be serious), Jared Leto (I can understand where the casting him as Joker comes from) and Jennifer Connelly (from a beautiful mind to this lol)


All in all a very good (yet very fucked up) movie

Looked this one up. Since it didn't ring a bell. Apparently this was Sidney Pollack being mentored through the filmaking process by Burt Lancaster himself. Pollack has a way with images that makes me feel uneasy. This is good. Added to my watchlist. Thanks!

Of course. Cant think of a movie where the hollywood version is worth watching over the original

Although there is a "battle" it is not your standard war movie by a long stretch. The book is a very worthwhile read as well if you can wrap your head around what is going on.

Lots of lists out there:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...dered_the_best
http://www.afi.com/100Years/movies.aspx
http://www.bfi.org.uk/news/50-greatest-films-all-time

I like this site, checklist of movies, create your own list to watch and keep track of, no spam emails I ever noticed, simple site, average user friendliness:
imdb top 250:
https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+250/

reddit top 250:
https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/reddit+top+250/

misc list of 1001 movies:
https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/1...efore+you+die/

AFI and Sight and Sound are the top two, typically historically important movies get stature that's doesn't translate to enjoyment from a modern viewer. The Reddit and IMDB lists are more relevant as they get less historical context votes for movies like Citizen Kane which imo don't hold up to modern viewing. Nice thing about picking up 50 year old movies is that time has filtered all the crap.

babydriver 02-22-2016 11:44 PM

Rob Roy, especially if you have Scottish ancestry. Makes you want to eat the Haggis!

Also, the original version of "The Thomas Crown Affair" with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. The scene at the end where she looks up to see the jet passing overhead is a mind-bender!

The entire three flavors cornetto trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End) is fantastic, along with the first Pegg/Wright/Frost venture; the British sitcom Spaced.

The World's End didn't land so well, I think it was too subtly done for one viewing by mass audiences, there's tons of funny stuff in there if you're observant and willing to watch again. Probably Pegg's best performance too.

Also why "stream" when online rentals are $3-$5 for full HD to your TV via affordable devices from Google or Amazon (or less affordable Apple)? If you're watching a ton of stuff there's subscription services (Netflix, Amazon) and if bandwidth was an issue you wouldn't be streaming in the first place.

Nolan films I've seen:

Prestige > Batman x3 > Inception > Interstellar

I expect when I get around to watching Memento and Insomnia they'll slot ahead of the Batman movies.

What happens with putlocker is you get about 5 click bait sites opening when u want to watch a movie, u just need to close them and stay on the main screen, my antivirus is blocking the dodgy sites, thats how they make their money

If anyone is in the mood for a weird movie that dosent make a lot of sense watch "pink flamingo"

ajaxthebetter 02-23-2016 04:15 PM

Mulholland drive. Lost highway. Both great. More disturbing than any horror movie could be. Enemy falls in the same vein.

Lesser known horror movies which excel.

Session 9
Splinter
Triangle
Eraserhead

And one of my very favorite films: Pans Labyrinth

Leonardo 02-23-2016 04:17 PM

10 great movies in no particular order:

The Life aquatic
How High
Super Troopers
Scott Pilgrim
Blues Brothers
Fight Club
The big Labowski
Resident Evil
Accepted
30 minutes or less

Eighty 6 02-23-2016 04:21 PM

Ok if u want a real shock to the system watch "broken heart" its about when aids first broke out in the gay communities, the guy from the "hulk" acts like a total fairy in it, but a great movie if you dont throw up
