what is the last good movie you watched? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Man I watch a ton of movies, but the last GOOD one?

Probably "The Spectacular Now". Coming of age type affair, good to watch with your ladyfriend.

"Dallas Buyer's Club" was also good, but sort of depressing.

"Escape Plan" was a fun Stallone/Arnold movie. Went in with low expectations and it entertained me, which was all I was looking for.

Got some time this weekend (long weekend in Canada!) so I'm going to check out Robocop and try to watch Rush and Ridd-ick (wtf censors?).

Last car related good movie I saw was Rush. Last general good movie I saw was Underworld.

I'd like to note that Kate Beckinsale should be illegal for looking so damn fine while fighting vampires and werewolves.

Last good recent movie I've seen was Lone Survivor. Overall, I was extremely impressed and I'm thankful they didn't make that movie too "Hollywood" if you know what I mean.

It did have a few "hollywood" bits in it, but not enough to ruin the movie.

Aside from that I'm looking forward to seeing the new RoboCop, because I love the hilarious originals and I've heard good things about the new one

Rush.

Kinda spoiler:
One thing bothered me about the movie.
It was clear Lauda and Hunt were such bitter rivals, but the movie never really showed it on the track. It all starts with the one race at the beginning where Lauda spun. Then at the end of another season where Lauda and Hunt are duking it out to the finish for Lauda to win. If they were such bitter rivals, what about the rest of that season? What about all the racing that happened since the first event that sparked it all? I even looked at my wife and said "WTF, that's the last race of the season, what about the rest of it? They just skip over it all??!" They could have even just showed some clips of close calls and tire-to-tire racing, just 20 seconds of footage would have summed up the entire year... Oh, then fast forward to the fateful race in '76 where everything changes.

The rest was all about their wives and Hunt puking before every race.

It was obvious that they didn't like each other, but they never really showed the rivalry in action until near the end. That's the only thing I didn't like about it. Great movie otherwise.

I may be only one, but I don't think Rush lived up to the hype

Wolf of Wall Street. And before that American Hustle. Loved both of them.

Lego Movie.

Lego Movie does look funny.

Rush would be the last good movie I saw... the Blu-Ray release is spectacular. And though not a movie, the documentary 1, which was released on Blu-Ray the same time as Rush, is one of the best racing documentaries I've seen - if you want more breakdown of the Hunt/Lauda battle it has it.
