The best movie YOU have ever seen
BLACK LIVES MATTER25-Oct-24 04:06 am
The best movie I have every watch is 'Wolfen' release in 1981. A horror, crime movie filmed in film nor style with all scenes at night. The ending of the movie will catch you completely off guard - rated GP - no sex scenes in the movie! Not the type of movie you watch with your kids because it has dark humor and very dark psychological overtones in the movie!

          Hi Yin Girl. Never seen or heard of the movie 'The Boys in the Boat'. Enjoy the Dune Movies. The Dune Movies are based on a novel by Frank Herbert - the book is much better than the Dune Movies; however, the book can go into more detail!

          https://youtu.be/dfEA-udzjjQ?si=pMWlvQ7EAu3IHBY9 Based on the best-selling book about the inspirational true story of the 1936 University of Washington rowing team that competed for gold at the Summer Olympics in Berlin. Based during the depression and Directed By: George Clooney. Loved it found myself literally rowing in my seat, cheering them on. It's a good feel movie :)

        On my first "big" holiday away from Sydney we went to see "On the Beach". I truly felt that the world had come to an end when I left the theatre.

          Hi Pat C 618241. I have seen the 1959 movie version - 'On the Beach' - the movie does have a 'WOW Factor' to it!

          Years later the repeated Waltzing Matilda theme got a bit over the top for background music but I was only fascinated by the "end of the world as we know it" effect.Thanks for your comment.

          I have many,all for different genres,decades etc. So...my first childhood movie..Wizard of Oz,( changing from black and white to colour amazed me as a child). Around the world in 80days, The great race. And a more recent one that is a bit of a psychological thriller but with a twist" The gift". Worth watching if you haven't seen it. I also love any movie with Keanu Reeves,ie Constantine,John Wick.

                I would have to say, "Steel Magnolias" For me being born and raised in the south, A LOT of time in Mississippi... actually quite funny because it's also where I got license to start doing hair for the very first time over 30 plus years ago so it has a special meaning on that front too you'll have to watch the movie to find out what I mean, would say this was more accurate of what I experienced luckily. But not all ares of the south, even to today are much more conservative and a lot less open-minded about how people are born and the like.. another hint watch the movie. If you look at the cast, it is absolutely an extraordinary group of actors and actresses! It's stirs every emotion you could have over and over and over again all throughout this movie! For those of you who have not seen it please give it a shot.. LOL just an idea actors and actresses dad just adore that are in this movie pretty much all of them but you have Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Olympia Dukakis, Sally field, Shirley MacLaine folks, Daryl Hannah, Dylan McDermott, nd the list goes on, so I definitely highly recommend!! 10 stars from me

                  from the south - don't have ANY pleasant memories of the south - I am Black, I grow up doing the color n white signs, segregated schools, lynchings, etc., and the south is still the most segregated part of USA - I don't watch movies that try to white-wash history and portray caucasian as human beings!

I mean, i do undrrstand being I'm gay...so please dont tell me about segrigation! WE are just as "white washesd" as you say that you.. during also why people turn everything that people say about the south into a racial issue and it's always seems to be the black folks that bring up the race issue, as it is important, some of us are just trying to talk about a movie that we love that I did not list it for a racial issues my reason i listed it had nothing to do with race it was not the primus of the movie. Please STOP with making everything out as race card!

                  it's very very offensive for you to assume that all people from the South are like that or anything of that sort. Your last comment is totally inappropriate and when are people going to put down the bat, and get off the cross?, because we need the wood ...to survive the floods not to beat Caucasians up forever... even though most of us stand strong by your side... because of something that idiots of the Caucasian ancestral race started hundreds of years ago.? It seems to me that the south is still full of black folks, so why is that and their states are so ... red? GO BLUE you might find that more of us "Caucasians " care more than you think.

                    I can't decide on a best ever.. for most tragique and independent film it was a French one called Betty Blue. Back to the Future pts 1 2 and 3 all amazing ,though the 1st always the best. Loved Whoopie Goldberg in Sister Act and Ghost but outstanding in The Colour Purple.. The Piano also a beautifully made film set in New Zealand.

                      Hi Liane H. The Color Purple is a great movie with an outstanding cast. The book: The Color Purple is better than the movie - but the book can always go into more detail. I like Sister Act 2 better then Sister Act especially in Sister Act 2 - when the young Black kid hits that high note when singing 'Oh Happy Day'. I will have to check out Betty Blue. Is the movie in French - French is my first language!

                      Hi Walter ,the Movie Betty Blue is in English with subtitles but l'm sure there was a French version also as it won 8th highest grossing film in France in 1986. It's a psychological romantic drama based on a beautiful girl who unfortunately descends into madness. Based on a book 37.2 le matin. One most definitely not for the kids to watch as she's naked for a good deal of the time Lol! Loved that Happy day note also in Sister Act and Lauryn Hill singing as well ;))

                        To deal with a hostage situation, you should: Remain calm, be polite, and cooperate with your captors. DO NOT attempt escape unless there is an extremely good chance of survival. Speak normally. DO NOT complain, avoid being belligerent, and comply with all orders and instructions. Negotiators must slowly establish communication with the hostage-takers. Isolate the area and avoid deception. Have a policy against ransoms as a deterrent against hostage seizures. Try to connect with your kidnappers, but don't pretend to support them. Observe as much of your environment as you can. Do not admit to accusations if you're interrogated. Find a way to communicate if there are other captives. Or you could … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXtlR_7l6xQ&list=PLZbXA4lyCtqp_dayBM3htOw8ETmxiTKNe&index=3

                              Have you read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, have you read Robot Trilogy by Issac Asimov - one of the books in the series was made into a movie - the movie was a flop, and last but not least have you read the Dominic Flandry series by Poul Anderson - my favorite old time science fiction writer

                              I was a Science Fiction nut growing up...got that from my Dad...waded through 100's of them...I like Poul Anderson too...he wrote a few books WITH other authors...I always wondered how they did that...write one chapter and pass it on?...seems to work well..two authors feeding off each other....its a shame they don't make more of them into films ...all that unused original material and so many dreary boring films using the same plots again and again...

                              The original Dune movie, with Sting in it, (and the book, which I had read before seeing the movie) is one of my favourites.

                                    WOW, I lived in Boston when I worked for the federal government in the earlier 1960s used to go to New Bedford during the summertime - it was slightly over an hour by car - less people less traffic back then compared to today! Oops, you are talking New Bedford, MA.

                                    Nothing to do with the fishing industry. Social Security Administration - my 'first' real job - I was a clerk - the cold weather got to me in Boston - after my job probationary status on the job was finished - which lasted three years - I immediately started looking at federal agencies' jobs in Tucson, AZ. I eventually transferred to a federal agency in Tucson, AZ - in three months - lol!

                                    yeah Walter it a while since i lived in that cold crappy weather, and i fished in it, had to pay the bills, but it wasn't a job Walter it was a hobby that i loved,,looks like we turned out all right after the crappy start we were given, i don't care what anyone says, you survive that, you can do anything, eh my friend, we have, life is short, you need to be happy as much as possible, never know when an escaped elephant from the zoo comes running down the sidewalk Walter and flattens you with one foot, Walter one minute, and Walter pancake the next,, have a good weekend kemosabe, and keep an eye out for elephants if you go for a walk,,, 😀

                                    you absolutely correct - I survive physical abuse as a child and as young teen-ager - but sometimes the bitterness gets the best of me as I grow older - I am sweating the small stuff - life is TOO SHORT....

                                    When I was in my early twenties and early fifties - I was still juggling two worlds - the criminal world, and the American Dream - which NEVER EXIST for me - therefore, I should never under any circumstances be sweating the small stuff.

                                  "Wait Until Dark"...a thriller starring Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin and Richard Crenna. Actually we saw it in high school as an assignment. I loved it. Stellar performance by Audrey Hepburn. The movie came out several years before I saw it.

                                    Lord of the rings was certainly one of fav’s, one of New Zealand’s proudest movies, and I’m looking forward to Lee with Cate Winslet. I’m also a big fan of actors Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman, Jonny Depp, Meryl Streep, and Nicole Kidman and the movies they’ve acted in…
