HIDDEN GEMS
>>219640517this is a 3/10
>>219640549I liked this up until the plot twist which was beyond retarded
>Event Horizon but in the ocean
>>219640517Only movie I’ve ever fallen asleep during
>>219640816frfr?
>>219640517Can I watch this if I haven't watched Cube?
>>219640844did you wake up and your pants were pulled down?
>>219640890Based.
>>219640890kek
>>219640549>Angela BassettHer 90s run was legendary. Underrated negress.
>>219640517I just watched this with Dustin Hoffman in this with Dennis Franz. I had thought this had been a play early on.
It's probably the worst adaptation of a Crichton book aside from The Lost World
>>219640816>and way less cool or good
>>219640547Smoke you as they say in 5th element.
>>219640517Kino. People hate on it because it squandered the premise but they'll defend something that's uniformly shit.
>>219640890Made me giggle-snort.
>>219640517the book was a super bestseller and very good, movie adaptation a shit.
>>219642013The book and movie are awesome. Nbc kino. They go how Hoffman characyer just made a lot of it up and chose them as a joke for the extraterrestrial contact event.
Falls apart a bit toward the end but this is absolute comfykino and very charming.
>>219640517surprised people are hating on this so much, it's very entertaining
The director and the actors and even the VFX people admitted that Sphere was an unfinished film. They knew the film needed reshoots, it needed more time, but they didn't have the luxury of more time or money.It's impossible to avoid comparing it to the book because it's broadly actually a fairly faithful adaptation of the book, and some of the changes it makes are totally reasonable, but it struggles with visually conveying the slow creeping anxiety of the book and doesn't have anything to replace it with.For example, in the book, there is an entire plot arc about Norman being genuinely uncertain whether he has entered the sphere or not. Who is causing the manifestations? Is it him? His middle name, in the book, is Harrison. Harrison = Harry = Jerry. The scene where he enters the sphere is also missing, which cuts out a pretty important philosophical conversation with his subconscious.The book also has a highly ambiguous ending where Beth looks beautiful which implies one of three things.>She didn't give up her power and is using the power to reshape herself.>She wasn't the one reshaping her appearance. It was Harry or Norman. The whole point of the book is that all the characters already knew how to reshape reality with their minds. It's how they were able to get the door open.>There is nothing supernatural going on. She looks beautiful because she is finally at peace.The film captures the broad strokes of the story, but it loses the interesting esoteric nuances.
>>219640517this movie is really badthe one redeeming scene in the entire film is where sam's character says>mmm i love eggsit's hilariousthe book is rlygud tho
I think the biggest problem Sphere has is that Event Horizon does basically everything it does better. And Event Horizon had even more severe production issues, and it came out the other side better. Sphere is worth watching, but it just doesn't have the raw sauce that Event Horizon does because it clips its own wings by not going intellectual. Michael Crichton books draw their power from psychology, from the examination of the self. The movie barely skims that. And it doesn't have banger lines like, "If you could see the things I've seen, you wouldn't try to stop me."
>>219645103Never heard of it but do look forward to more Pfeiffer films. I was enthralled by wolf with Jack Nicholson and ultron as a kid. American and mexican tv channels would play it and the climax is always hype af! The YouTube short of Nicholson dressing down Pfeiffer for relying on being beautiful is going wild.
>>219640517
>>219641610If this is Mamet it probably was.
>>219640517this movie is is a steaming pile of shit don't fall for this
>>219645530>>219646491>>219640517Is sphere a failed attempt at making the movie annihilation?
>>219648679This guy voted for trump.
>>219648928No he's right the only saving grace of this entire movie is Queen Latifah
with Jet Li, Morgan Freeman, Bob Hoskins and Kerry Condon
>>219649062danny the dog was a great film
>>219648928if i voted i would have
Surprisingly kino.
>>219649181Based fuckin anon saying the proper title.
>>219640549>MUH RODNEY KING, BUT IN THE FUTURE: THE MOVIEAnyone that likes this trash is low IQ and has terrible taste.
>>219640517Sphere is hot trash.I went into it blind and objectively a few years ago prepared for kino.If you want something that's ACTUALLY a hidden gem set on the ocean, there are two:>The AbyssPossibly James Cameron's best movie of all time. Going into it blind was a kino experience.>Deep RisingPure monster action slopkino from the people who will make The Mummy.
>>219640517Sphere is pretty bad, literally 4/10 at best. The logline is unbelievably kino though: "A spaceship is discovered under three hundred years' worth of coral growth at the bottom of the ocean."
>>219641886Why is /tv/ the only board that consistently makes me laugh, lmao.
>>219640517The book is kino. The film is okay.
>>219641637The Lost World didn't even try to adapt the book. They just made their own movie and stole the name.
>>219649062>not mentioning the true Jet Li hidden gem kino
>>219652056Can't really steal something that was licensed to them.
>>219651552Rare good American adaption.
>>219648845you could argue yes. Although now I'm wondering how much annihilation was inspired by the sphere (novel, not movie)
>>219651351Based.
weird how hollywood refused to adapt this one
>>219652022the film is boring dogshit
>>219640549Bigelow's best movie 2bh.
>>219641450>no RoxanneIt's trash.
>>219650564my favorite of the full moon crossover one-offs is blood dolls
>>219652266ok
Since we're talking Crichton the film Looker he wrote and directed is underrated and prescient.
>>219652219This would've been Kino
The poster is bad, but the movie is pretty good.
panic
>>219640517Really interesting first act. Okay second act. Incredibly generic third act. It's like that picture of the horse that gets worse looking at every stage.
>>219640890Yeah but you need to watch Pyramid first
>>219658518i get it
>>219640517One Battle After Another
>>219640890Cube is the sequelYou should watch this first though
>>219658942fuck triangle
>>219651552Based Birdcage enjoyer. That movie never gets old and is a Top 5 Robin performance, without question.
>>219659317seems gay
>>219645159It's because of missed expectations. See >>219651058 people expect kino because of the cast and because the first 20 minutes are the best. A shit movie that meets expectations is criticized less than a disappointment.
>>219640517Sphere is an awful movie
>>219652111Only good one posted so far
RomCom masterpiece
>>219640517The only thing I remember about this movie was that Hoffman looked like he didn't gave a fuck about what was happening and Samuel Jackson was over the top super genious or something
>>219641637Sphere is a shit book anyway.
>>219662164kino poster
Thread needs more comedy. This is some of the best slapstick ever filmed.
>>219662472t. illiterate
>>219650786This movie has like 2 good scenes in it and the rest is boring trash. I had this one hyped up to me so hard but only met disappointment
The Enemy 2011
>>219645530>For example, in the book, there is an entire plot arc about Norman being genuinely uncertain whether he has entered the sphere or not. Who is causing the manifestations? Is it him? His middle name, in the book, is Harrison. Harrison = Harry = Jerrythat's in the movie
>>219655756How come Neve Campbell's career never took off?
>>219651282Great movie.
Courier (1986)The poster makes it look like Tron or some shit but in reality it is a really good soviet coming of age film. Also it is available for free on Mosfilm's youtube.I think you could probably pick a film at random from Mosfilm and it would be worth watching.
>>219662990It was good until you find out what the sphere does. Just an overall lame idea.
Badly marketed as a war film, this is psychological horror.
>>219662164
>>219663726>Badly marketed as a war film, this is pro-Israeli propaganda.ftfy
>>219641261This looks like a software box from the early 90s.
>>219664166How so? It shows two American soldiers dying to an elite muslim sniper for no reason.
>>219652211This is such a fun film.Waiting someone to post Event Horizon, the most overrated film of all time.
>>219640517absolute dogshit compared to the bookmoreso than the usual adaptation
>>219651351Fortress (1992) starring Christopher Lambert
Dunno if this hits with zoomers or alphas, but if you want to know what your annoying unc was like as a kid.
Manjummel Boys 2024
>>219664260>It shows two American soldiers dying to an elite muslim sniper for no reason.>for no reasonYeah, they were on holiday, minding their own business, when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, for no reason whatsoever, a Muslim sniper just started blasting at them.
>>219662755Yes, this was overshadowed by other dumb but funny 90's comedies
>>219652111wow that was actual dog shit lol
>>219640517This is /tv/coded
>>219640549This movie starts out so strong, the intro sequence is certified kino and got me hyped which is why the rest of the movie is a real bummer kek especially all the obnoxious shit with Juliette Lewis. Such a cocktease of a movie, only watch it if you want to be blue-balled by how strong it starts and how retarded it becomes.
>>219640517People will say it sucksBut they are wrong
>>219641261Very fun movie and great soundtrack.
Not a movie, a miniseries that’s more like a series of movies each with their own story but one of the best things I’ve watched in recent memories. Absolutely soul crushing but the visual storytelling is unparalleled
One of my favorite crime kinos and it surprises me more people don’t know about it or talk about it, it’s pretty twisted.
>>219663448No, his middle name isn't Harrison in the movie. In the book, his name is Norman Harrison Johnson. He's Norman Goodman in the film. The scene of Norman entering the sphere is missing we never get:>“The ability to imagine is the largest part of what you call intelligence. You think the ability to imagine is merely a useful step on the way to solving a problem or making something happen. But imagining it is what makes it happen.>This is the gift of your species and this is the danger, because you do not choose to control your imaginings. You imagine wonderful things and you imagine terrible things, and you take no responsibility for the choice. You say you have inside you both the power of good and the power of evil, the angel and the devil, but in truth you have just one thing inside you--the ability to imagine.”The film is really, really truncated. In the book there's an entire section where it's a paranoid mystery over whether Harry, Beth, or Norman are responsible. Beth who is growing more beautiful by the minute (a trait shared by the wife in Prey, another Crichton novel) is in complete denial that she went into the sphere.That's another thing. The book heavily hints that it's not a space-ship at all. Reading between the lines, it became an American space-ship because Harry insisted it wasn't alien. The probe did not see any English writing on the ship. They only "discovered" the writing when they approach the doorway in person. When they enter the ship they keep "discovering" things right when they're talking about them. The key element of the book is that humans already know how to manifest reality. The sphere does not give them this power. It merely helps them understand the power they already have. Once Beth has the power the layout of the ship begins to change noticeably. But it's strongly implied it was maybe always changing. Just more subtly. Becoming what they expected it to be. 99% of this was cut from the film.
An incredibly kino 80s thriller.
>>219640549https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P0yUagEXBE Still such a relevant song today.
>>219640517I went to watch this for the first time on Saturday 4/11 on Tubi and it said it was coming on 4/12 today
>>219665438I thought it was a comedy
>>219664321Yeah this one was pretty good, the sequel though... yikes
>>219668081 Fortress 2 feels like straight-to-Sci‑Fi channel at 2am energy. Less prison paranoia, more “Lambert sleepwalking through green screen corridors.” They cranked up the budget for shittier CGI and forgot what made the first one fun. Still kinda comfy in a trash way though, ngl.
>>219668228Yeah it was a bit of fun in that respect but such a let down compared to the feeling of the first one.
>>219640816>Deepwater Horizon
>>219669362fuck rob cordry
>>219640517Blue is The warmest Colour
>>219658942i liked this one, the girl is hot and it has based Michael Dorman in it
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119892/
>>219640890
>>219640517Definitely this one
>>219652111based, the soldier trying to box a werewolf and the other one trying to keep his guts in live rentfree in my mind
>>219664429I watched this on a whim after someone posted a webm from the movie in an india hate thread. Really good survival movie, well shot too.
>>219663508She's boring
>>219652056>DURR THEY STOLE ITScripting for the movie began before the book was published, because Crichton was known for not writing sequels, and only folded in elements of the book in later drafts. They share a name for tie in purposes only, which Crichton gladly sold the rights to do in exchange for - get this -money.
they mystery and build up are great, but the reveal is just so shit. One of my bigger post-Jurrasic Park disappointments.
>>219673246yeah pretty much this. only movie i like her in is Wildthings, which is just campy and fun.
>>219640549based>>219650949Only low IQ here is you, faggot.
>>219663745You would have to be severely mentally retarded to watch this over the original.
>>219665438Kino.>>219668030It has its moments.
>In the spirit of Chrichton postingFuck you, I liked it. Book was better tho obvs.
>>219675433The remakes actually really good though
>>219640517>>219640547i liked it the squid i mean i never understood it <maybe its a Wide swing at psychological paintings great film >>219640682what twist?
>>219667699Great twist.>>219673311Can't go wrong with Walter Hill (mostly).
>>219667699>>219676271yeah, just saw it thanks to this thread, it's been a while since I don't see a twist coming a mile awayif they remade this movie today, they wouldn't contain themselves from doing some on the nose foreshadowing
>>219652219I wouldn't be surprised if he got killed for this. It's his Eyes Wide Shut, though with a different topic that are WEF-related
Book is even better
>>219658942shape kino is the "slop" we deserve this is a 5/10 movie but its a 9 by modern imdb standardswhat a great way to spend an evening it really picks at that part of us"the kids annoying""what the fuck have i done""irritable crackhead day""pure focus"its a nice blend shape kino >tom hanks emily watson or w./e is litterly not included in shape kino
>>219673311Goes very well with Judgement Night, another urban survival thriller from the 90s
>>219664991what didn't you like about it?
>>219664453Okay, and how is is pro-israel to show that these two soldiers die in a meaningless manner for Israel?Your sarcasm only hides ignorance.
>>219675433Kino >>219663745Slop
>>219673311Sorry I'm not gonna watch another Ice-T movie as long as I'm aliveIn Hell they probably marathon all his flicks, I'll catch up then
>>219652370yeah but it's got the Electric Slide B-)
>>219679030MF DOOM mentioned
True detective S1 but in Spain's early 80s
>>219678705honestly this film was basically everything i expected LOL a fun film to watch at 15? or something it really do be like that i didnt like the lack of memorable charicters (kek) i liked the idea the emotion and the evocativity of the moment its as scary as you would expect i guess is a pitfall
Dog Soldiers is a little overrated by the people who enjoyed it, but it's alright. There are much better Werewolf movies thoughbeit.
>>219680868Not very many. Werewolf movies typically all blend together into a sea of mediocrity.
>>219640517Brokeback Mountain
>>219665102i agree with uthis movie could have been escape from ny and matrix and brainstorm all rolled into one, but they blew it
>>219680728Hmm... okay>>219680868I loved the atmosphere of it. I love how the first quarter of the movie has a whole different situation going on until shit hits the fans. Most werewolves movies miss the whole feel of being "hunted" but this didn't . I think all the effects are practical. I also like the small twist at the end. >>219681820It's true.
>>219680414is it actually good? or they talk too much like in most spanish productions lolactually u reminded me of pic rel, was pretty good 90s style thriller and they don't talk much in it either >>219640517
>>219652111is this where they are in a cabin surrounded by werewolves? because if yes i've searched for this movie for years and the search results always gave me some other movies
>>219682774yep
>>219662250Scott gleen is badass since I saw the original man on fire with pesci on cable. They are in Italy instead of mexico.
>>219672382ending was a complete joke
>>219682921It's a kino ending in the uncensored versionIt is indeed very lame in the censored one
>>219680868>>219682551I fell asleep during Dog Soldiers. An American Werewolf in London is more interesting and has flashes of greatness.
>>219682973>theres a "censored" Grek Araki movie wow
>>219683080you sound gay (and jewish)
>>219683186is jewishness the only argument against AAWIL though, because that's almost like I'm right
>>219640890Took me a second.
>>219683231why does it have to be an argument against the movie? is noticing a crime? oy vey
>>219683231Besides the beginning, which is great, and a couple of other good scenes, I found it boring. Maybe my expectations were too high since It was always talked about as one of the great horror movies but I was quite disappointed as a werewolf enjoyer.
>>219680414>>219682674I needed more Spanish movies to watch. Nieve reinas and el secreto decsus ojos are classics. Nieve reines has a remake with John c. Reilly and deigo Luna as con artist trying to make a big score that might be more digestible if you only speak english and dont want subtitles. Secret in their eyes has an english remake but I have never seen it.
>>219684022>Nieve reinasseen it (the spanish version), they talk to much in it lol
>>219652111Holy kino.
>>219684403Its a crime caper about con artist, you want to use sign language?!
>>219684022>Nieve reinas and el secreto decsus ojos are classicsThose are argentinian not spanish
Most De Palma movies don't get the credit they deserve.
>>219663640Great flick
>>219640517>Names and faces on poster alignI will now watch your movie
>>219684570would it be cheeky if i said yes?
>>219652219i still want a gritty micro adaptation
>>219673613>Only low IQ here is you, faggot.No, that would be you, seeing that you watched an extremely shallow movie with surface-level and backwards race politics, and somehow came away thinking it was based. A film that has aged like milk. Please get help for your mental retardation.
>>219683665well it's phrased that way. how would you like it if I immediately went to a personal attack, which is wrong? dumb jeet
>>219684651Yes, in the movie Snake Eyes there's a conspiracy to assassinate a prominent person called Charles Kirkland
>>219684915no need to get angry at statistics. i found that movie looking for jewish movies... there are surprisingly few for a people who produced so many movies overall... anyway i went down the rabbi(t)hole and now i can't un-know itotherwise i agree with the other anon, it's a very disappointing movie that's only known and propagated because its gay-jew heritage
>>219640517>HIDDEN GEMSGreased LightningIt has everything: richard pryor, bootlegging, blues, nascar racing, racist jokes, action galore, friendship, manly cooperation, cars.At least the first hour; the second hour is some sappy sob story family drama I kid you not. But the first hour is worth seeing.
>>219686635>disappointinganother retarded non criticism, moron, I guess that decides it.
>>219640517This is the movie we got when my family got it's first DVD player. The ability to jump to different chapters was magical.
>>219688360>everything must be a criticism>and if it ain't that's even worsewhy are you being auto-antisemitic?
>>219689462I'd hesitate to call ...Colonel Blimp "hidden", anon.
>>219689518FRANK THE BLIMP THE BLIMP THE MOTHERSHIP
>>219667699See also The Big Clock (1948)
>>219640517I really hate to be the fag itt who says the book is better, but they totally dropped the ball with this adaptation.
>>219689534
>>219689883Yeah this is based tooI would have stayed in Ecstacy Town
>>219689883Amy Smart is such a dime.
>>219668030It being dark and about crime and a comedy aren’t mutually exclusive. It has a dash of all three with a triple helping of Baldwin playing a complete literal sociopath on a rampage.
>>219690025and smart too
>>219640517Texas killing fields 2011 has some issues but it's pretty good besides them and looks really good and good cast
>>219689883Oh, shit, that reminded me of this gem.
Steve Guttenberg of all people bringing the heat in this thriller
>>219690559too modern
>>219690289liked the beginning, got a bit boring for me afterwardsanyway pic rel is also such a flawed jam, good premise and beginning but the middle gets drawn out and is mostly just the characters bickering (although not about dicks tasting like truck stop urinals)
>>219679351kino, launched a dozen careers>>219690289freeway 2 is also fucked up and fun. both are /tv/ classics.
>>219665438thanks anon looks depressingly sleazy but since it's from 1990 i'll give it a try
>>219665438This movie had no idea what it wanted to be.
Beta bitch Spader gets taken under the wing of psycho chad Lowe and learns some self confidence before it spins out of control.
rare good /tv/ thread
>>219651351basedalso if you ever wanted to see Lamberts balls this is the film for you
>>219692943That’s kind of the charm of it. One minutes it’s played almost as goofy comedic schtick and the next minute Alec Baldwin is brutally murdering someone or robbing a bunch of people while impersonating a cop.
>>219641261very fun, very pretentious. thats hard to pull off.
>>219640517one youve prob never heard of, since its foreign.'sleep tight'story is of a concierge who breaks into & severely fucks with his guests lives, for no reason. Savage film.Completely unrelated but another foreign film; I like 'nine queens'. I bet none of you watch subtitled.
>>219695068oh a last suggestion; Jude Law in 'Dom Hemingway'. A drunk safecrackerWont win any oscars, but its a fun film & I never hear it spoken of.
>>219695294>a last suggestionwhere do you think you're going?!
>>219694851I don’t know if I’d necessarily call the movie itself pretentious but John Cusacks character in it definitely is. And in real life kek. But yeah it’s a lot of fun and the music is great
>>219684768Si, maricón.
Thank you all for the suggestionsBeen a while since a thread on /tv/ has gotten me this many, except for Claymore, that's me and it's an anime from 2007 I believe, pretty good but it went under the radar
>>219693410Is this where they break into a car? I thought it was funny how James spader did an interview about all the partying he did and Downey Jr. Commented they should have partied together.
>>219689883The intro has Amy smart smoking Crack cocoine in such a cavalier manner. Only seen that in party monster with Mac culkin.
>Wesley Snipes>Dennis Hopper>Viggo Mortensen>Tobin BellNice little movie.
Here's a good one I've never seen mentioned. Toy Soldiers. Terrorists take over a boarding school. Watched it all the time growing up, I think my uncle taped it off HBO.
>>219696411For me, it's when Wil Wheaton gets lit the fuck up
>>219695068I literally posted nieve reinas up top and loved. The monologue about all the hustles and scams going around the city was absolute cinema. I have only seen the webm of the girl in pigtails spitting the yogurt on his desk. That guy also did another film about a prison riot with a trapped guard in disguise. Dom might be too much woth the intro. Definitely dont watch it with your family or homophobic friends.
>>219696269I can't remember if they break into a car but it would be one of the lesser crimes that occur. Speaking of Downey and Spader I'm surprised they didn't party together considering they were in Tuff Turf when Downey was using heavily. Which is also a lot of fun. It's like the anti-Breakfast Club.
>>219696411They played this all the time in canal 5 and im sad to say I have never watched it. Same for the blonde woman that.runs away from the mob with a black kid and the great Doberman bank robbery. On the list now.
>>219680868Disagree. The only other good werewolf movie is American Werewolf in London, but only because it is batshit insane.Werewolf movies are usually extremely cliche and bring no new ideas whatsoever, but the idea of soldiers fighting werewolves is novel by itself. Better than the usual>OH NO I'VE BEEN INFECTED BY A WEREWOLF, WHAT DO I DOOOOOOtrash.
>>219696129sorry, i don't speak mexican
>>219652370i have a strong desire to fuck whatever that thing is at this moment in time
Aussie kino. Don’t watch the other movie called The Square, that one came out in 2017. This is from 2008.
>>219692101Dennis Leary makes any movie kino. He made Who's the Man better.
>>219640517I enjoy Blown Away a lot.
>>219703474
>>219640549This and picrel, both of which star Bassett funnily enough.
>>219703928that is literally unwatchable due to dutch angling
>>219703969I can put up with that because of James Spader and the interesting conceit. Yes, it did do the whole "10 little indians" thing that so many horror movies do, but I still love it nonetheless.
>>219704030i think everything about the film is fine except that it gives me horrible motion sickness and i have to turn it off.
>>219640517Bring back the millennium aesthetic

>>219640517Some faggot posted it a few weeks ago in a random thread like this. I'd never heard of it, but I've been obsessed with it ever since. I will never shut the fuck up about it either I guarantee you that:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5X08OUDI_oOften compared to 'Sphere' due to time period and superficial reasons, (underwater, early CGI, etc.), but it's better by a mile.Oddly this movie is the first answer that comes to mind for a lot of threads on this board, and general movie questions:>Post underrated kino>Obscure WWII movie>Good submarine movie>Good war movie>Good character-driven film>Good atmospheric horror>Ambiguity done well>Good psychological film>Interesting theme done well>Rewatchability>Unique combination of genres>Comprehensive use of a given setting>Efficient use of budget>Good unobtrusive use of early CGI>Good combination of real locations, movie sets, practical models, and CGI>Well written>Efficient script>Excellent casting>Excellent performances>Movies punching above their weight>Cool/imaginative/unique battle scenes>Films not populated with distracting A-listers and standard Hollywood faggotry>Films that never got a fair shot in terms of promotion>Films that slipped the net>Films that deserved much better>Films that deserve cult statusWatch it. You wont regret it. Join the 'Below' Naval Force and let more people know it exists. I wish Hollywood would make more cool shit like this.

>>219652098>be Jet Li>never make sequel to this kinoUnforgiveable. Yulaw is best Jet Li character by a mile.

>>219640517It's better than the book!That author is overrated as fuck.
>>219662164Solid hard ass Walter Hill flick.
>>219705034That was me you're welcome
>>219662184UNFATHOMABLY BASED
Michael (2011)It needs more recognition The main character is played by chudjak btw
>>219696411Yo they made a Gakuen Taikutsu movie?
Kate Beckinsale is uncovered... literally. Need I say more?
>>219645530>>219665869I love Sphere but even though I haven't read the book, I could still tell a lot of things were cut.Thanks for the rundown, senpai
Not sure why this was so coldly received. One of the greatest cold war spy flicks.
>>219707132Been wanting to thank you personally. Truly is a hidden gem.I still can't figure out why it's so obscure and underrated, especially on a site like this. It should be one of those films that comes up all the time. Do you think fags only see the superficial story and write it off as very basic low budget 'le horror', rather than the deeper kino it is?I can't get over the fact I notice more and more cool details every time I watch it. You can tell someone really gave a fuck making this film. It's a damn shame it didn't get the recognition it deserved day one, or filters faggots for whatever reason.I'll admit the first ten minutes seem a little shaky, (the first time through), but that's an incredibly efficient set up you don't fully appreciate until later and especially on subsequent viewings. But once the action starts there's no way anyone with a brain couldn't get sucked in. I like how they basically use every part of the sub in cool ways, and even the depth charge scene is more original than any submarine shit I've seen. Very effective suspense and shit. It's kind of brave to trust the intelligence of the audience that much, especially with the ending. Not the kind of shit you see every day.
>>219705034>>219707132>>219707503Looks interesting. I'm not surprised it flew under the radar in 2002 with LOTR, POTC, even master and commander fighting for screens.
>>219647791I liked the little speech he gave to the drunk female doctor about why he couldn't let the drug smuggling go (and why he was staying to fight the hired guns) even if no one else cared or expected him to care.
>>219640549I hated Fiennes simp bitch character but Angela Bassett was cool as fuck in this. She stole the film.
>>219696650I came here to post this yesterday after watching it on one of the free LG channels two nights ago
>>219664429I am going to watch this. >>219665282Interesting! I have to watch it. Never seen a Polish TV series.
>>219709855i love this movie and all of the casting is perfect and most specifically i love lucy liu in this movie and nothing else. it's not a good movie.
>>219705034hey this was pretty good
>>219709284she usually does
>>219709855I reference Kansas City Shuffle to this day
The quick and the deadUS MarshallsThe Big HitYou've got mail
>>219640517Yep, a pretty good one.
>>219684022Dios nos perdona. It's about two policemen in Madrid hunting a serial killer that rapes and murders grannies.
>>219655756macy is always great
>>219665009Watched it a couple days ago, it's pretty good. Still can't get the song out of my my head.
>>219640517Bait thread.Sphere is an absolutely dogshit movie.
>>219709092WTF Shemp Howard made action movies?
>>219652111Pure, unfiltered, KINO
>>219673473No one liked Wild Things. We only liked Denise Richard's fantastic tits.Such a shame about what happened to her.
>>219711553>>219709855>i love this movie and all of the casting is perfect>it's not a good moviefits almost perfectly on that too, some amazing performances
>>219707246I liked the movie, but Kate Beckinsale can't keep her mouth shut. I get that they went for a "quirky autistic mouth breather" look but, c'mon, in literally every scene her mouth is open like she were a fish. It would be heckin funny if it DIDN'T RUIN THE MOVIE. It makes me angry.
>>219640517The ending ruins this whole movie. The book too.
>>219712253its very nearly>it was all a dream
>>219651058>If you want something that's ACTUALLY a hidden gem set on the ocean,Deep Star SixLeviathan
It was a genuinely good movie and it is a shame it made zero impact.
>>219640517The Shape Of Water
>>219713046>surf and turf
>>219651058Both too well known. You want something more like Harbinger Down or Blood Vessel.
>>219658942Triangle (2007) is the superior film
>>219712334Exactly. Worst type of ending. What was Crichton thinking? Did he just not know how to end it?
>>219714410probably the fault of almost all movies: they get worse and worse as they progress... now combine that with movies getting longer and longerit's no wonder hollywood collapsed
>>219712334>>219714410the andromeda strain wasn't too much better
>>219712358I fucking love this movie. It's like a really great Twilight Zone episode.
