ITT movie recommendations. No arthouse faggottry pls. Looking for sci fi/fantasy or operator action. Any era.
>>220594625The most 80's movie ever made.
>>220594625Underwater. Top tier horror kino. Also Kstew spends a not insignificant amount of time running around in her underwear.
>>220594625Probably the best live action anime adaptation ever made. It's admittedly not a high bar to clear though.
>>220594770I simply cannot believe that this could have possibly been watchable.
>>220594803It got massive hate because Scarlett Johansen is white instead of Asian. But the movie itself isn't bad. She's an A-lister that tends to not do movies that are just straight up bad.
Spartan 2004
>>220594845I don't give a fuck about asians but didn't imagine you could make ghost in the shell not suck ass as a live action
>>220594625Looper
>>220594625Holy Mountain, you'll love it.
>>220594875The first 3/4 of Spartan is kino AF but the final act falls off harder than just about anything before or since.
>>220594625>Elevation I fucking hate Mackie and although I want to hatefuck the actress I cannot stand her cheating on her husband. Is this film good enough to overcome that hurdle?What's it about no spoilers please
>>220594875>>220594916Bell was a family friend before she became famous. Used to go camping with her in MI.
>>220594940It's the quiet place except the monsters can't go above 8000 ft. above sea level.
>>220594956I've been binge watching The Good Place lately. But just just like everything else S2 seems to be falling off though
>>220594625CRIMINALLY underrated movie. Easily on the same level as Weapons.
>>220595076>Weaponsa skip then, gotcha
The most believable take on action movie fights where a chick has to fight dudes.
>>220595144Jennifer Gardner is sexo
>>220595130The story isn't like Weapons. The level of production quality is like Weapons. Meaning it's not some Rob Zombie style horror schlock like It's title would suggest Also it's got kino Timothy Olyphant in it.
>>220594968Shit. Okay ill watch that. Don't know why cause I won't even bother to watch a Quiet Place 2 or the Quiet Place Beginnings movies.
>>220594625This was way better than I thought it would be.
>>220594875>>220594916Spartan was a fun watch but unintentionally. It kept building up the protagonist as the ultimate soldier-spy but he fucked up at everything and needed a revolving door cast of supporting characters to bail him out of the simplest situations. All while he delivers pretentious tough guy lines that are meant to sound badass but clash with his demonstrated incompetence. It's a fever dream.
>>220595335It's always on the List of Kilmer's ClassicsHe had some real stinkers like The Saint, Top Secret, and TG Maverick
>>220594906Go to bed Rian.
A lot of people don't even realize Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig made a Body Snatchers movie. It's actually pretty decent.
>>220595548Craig was bad in this
>Looking for sci fi/fantasy or operator action>people recommend B-horror
>>220594886they fucked with the story, but it's great visually
>>220595735Bad Craig, very naughty
>>220595818Craig Bierko fucked Charlize Theron because while high he mistook her for the blonde actress from "Long Kiss Goodnight". Talked about it on Marc Meron's podcast.
>>220594625Ok hear me out. Go watch episode 1 of of the 2001 animated series "Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier". It's free on Amazon. This will give you the origin story. It's only like 22 mins long.Then watch this 2012 reboot "Re Cyborg 2009". (The 're' is for reboot) theatrical movie. It was a smash hit in Japan. Made by the guy that made Ghost in the Shell 2.It's like going from Adam West Batman to The Dark Knight. They are two totally different takes with the same origin story. But the movie is absolute kino.
>>220594940why not watch the gorge instead?
>>220595818kek
>>220595865NTA but the explanation reveal was kinda cheeks.
>>220595548my buddy brian showed me this.miss that mf
>>220594910What the FUCK am i watching?https://youtu.be/qmR0vi0ifzE?si=-6hHAvTV5lVkGVuO
>>220595770>>people recommend B-horrorHorror can be a sub genre of sci-fi/fantasy
>>220595770>>220596313What's going on here?TEST:>where does Ghosts of Mars fit in?horror or sci-fi
>>220595076Easily a better Resident Evil movie than 95% of all the RE movies made and probably the upcoming one as well.
>>220596350Ghost's of Mars doesn't qualify because it's not good. If it was good it would qualify.
>>220595389>had some real stinkers like The Saint, Top Secret, and TG MaverickThose are all easily better than the majority of shit that gets made today.
>>220594625i'ma help you bro screamers (1995)
>>220596375Who made you Judge Dredd?Luckily for you it was just a test. Any films of amy genre are certified trash if I see any non-whites. Lethal Weapon 2 is the exception.
>>220596407Shit! I meant Lethal Weapon 3.
Here's another kino
>>220596350For example theoretically Even Horizon would qualify because it's good and worth recommending except for the fact that everyone has already seen it. So really it doesn't qualify for the thread because it's something that everyone and their grandmother has already seen.
>>220596438Watched this last month for the first time in a while because it's free on YouTube.
>>220596445Ya except Event Horizon is reddit trash so bad example
>>220596421Lethal Weapon 3 fucking sucks. 1, 2 and 4 are peak though.
>>220596467>Event Horizon is reddit trashYou have to be of age to post here kiddo.
>>220596445Thanks>>220596467Yeah it's meme status now but anon was on the right track. I'd recommend "Sunshine" instead.
>>220594625>operator actionPic related is worth a watch
>>220594625here ya go
>>220594625>operator actionTony Scott kino
>>220596532Everyone has seen this.
>>220594625Peak sci-fi kino without the 2deep4you navel gazing of the first movie. Even the Drinker recommends it. It's like Project Hail Mary without the reddit.
>>220596583What about this Tony Scott kino then?
>>220596654i LITERALLY just watched Major Payne yesterday. Seriously this movie could not be made today.
>>220594625I was seriously burned out on Statham movies because they all have the EXACT SAME beekeeper plot. This one's a bit different probably because it's directed by Guy Ritchie.
>>220594625
>>220594625Captive State. The best of the "Aliens in the Hood" craze that took off a few years ago. Totally and completely slept on. https://youtu.be/i68xCzI406A?si=ZPsG3_BMiqozKuCn
>>220596853>>220596445
>>220594956her face always made me think was resting bitch face karen. Is she a stuck up bitch irl? never liked her just because of her physiognomy. Looks like a bpd whore
Some crappy netflix sci fi's>Spectral>The Tomorrow War>Black Crab
>>220596627Concur. Worth a watch.
Underrated as fuck.I suspect a lot of fags didn't like it because they didn't go in expecting 'Lord of the Flies'. Especially right after Titanic and DiCaprio becoming a big deal as a romantic lead, his female fans didn't seem to respond well to it. Also it steps directly on the political toes of myopic and hypocritical utopian lefty wankers.One of the movies that made me start to respect Tilda Swinton as an actress, despite finding her androgynous look rather off-putting. Now I can't say enough good things about her. Still wounldn't, but by the gods I love her all the same. Perfectly cast as the hippy-dippy 'muh community' bitch. If you're a Zoom-Zoom who went to school during the Woke Era, you should probably watch it. You'll notice some interesting parallels.
>>220597427>Tilda SwintonYeah, there's that. I swear though that if The Beach is so much as mentioned Virginie Ledoyen immediately crowds everything else out of my mind.
>>220594770>Not Edge of Tomorrow
>>220595076This is pretty good, it's both a traditional action movie (I mean that in a good way) and a sort of thriller.
Just a great little innovative film that deserves a mention and a couple of hours of your time no matter who you are. One of those movies that if you're one of the remaining people who haven't seen it yet for whatever reason, you just need to stop being a fag right now and watch it.
>>220594845Major is European. Part of her character is that she is an Other in Japan not only because she is 99% robot but also because she isn't Japan. She is intended to look non-Japanese in the original.
>>220594625>anthony mackie
>>220598153I know we're getting desperate out here for half decent films. People are watching 6/10 from pre -2010 because there's nothing good being released anymore.
>>220598115Her name is literally motoko kusanagi
>>220597473Everybody has seen Edge of Tomorrow. Like seriously there's no way anybody who has seen even a quarter of the moves in this thread hasn't already seen Edge of Tomorrow.If you want an underrated Tom Cruise kino then check out pic rel. He plays totally against type.
>>220598115In the live action GitS they explain why she's white in the movie even though she's actually Japanese.
>>220596654The opening scene always makes me laugh at how insane it is. But yeah good movie
>>220596920I've watched this like three times. You pick up new details on every watch.
>>220598422That’s the CIA going “nooo we totally didn’t kickstart the hard drug industry in central/south america it was just that one guy and he did it because uh…”
>>220594625Flawed but worth a watch. Stacked cast. Extremely similar to Sunshine but came out years earlier.
>>220598537Hemsworth is horribly miscast. Also Mann was neck deep in his god awful shoot everything on early not ready for primetime digital camera phase
>>220598629>Think big.Is this a real movie?
>>220594625Like Harry Potter for adults. Was way better than one would think
>>220594723This movie felt like a Disney park ride, moving from one set piece to the next.
>All these shit recommendationsHoly shit /tv/ really is full of retards
>>220594681Never heard of it but will put it in the watchlist.
>>220598844They take a linear path through different parts of a facility, sure. But I think you're just making a stupid reaching association.
>>220594723Fuck this was scary. Just the environment was terrifying. Definitely made me rethink underwater welding. Same as the soma game.
>>220598863Ok faggot big shot. Go ahead and recommend a sci fi/fantasy or action movie that literally everyone and their grandmother hasn't already seen.
>>220594770>>220594803>>220594845Its fine but doesnt come close to the anime film. Its missing all the philosophy and they managed to dull the antagonist so much.
>>220594875Spartan is fucking cool and val is elite in it.
>>220596532>>220596583The original with scott Glenn in Italy is just as cool.
>>220596654I liked the verbose guy.
>>220594625Predestination
>>220598537The asian chick is hot as hell but its all style. His prison program reminds of Wes watson.
>>220594625I guarantee this movie is absolute dogshit just from the poster
>>220597473If I may interject, Edge of Tomorrow is a MANGA adaptation
>>220598968

>>220599467Relentlessly kino
Down Periscope. You know you loved it. Prepare to dive!
Essential viewing.
>>220600442Is that the guy from pete and Pete? The world's strongest man in the world?
>>220599089Yep, it renewed my faith that there are still good stories to be told. Loved those long lingering shots
>>220594625That wasn't bad for being an obvious ripoff of A Quiet Place.

>>220598664yes and it's fun
>>220594625>M4s>quad rails >carry handle for some fucking reason instead of literally any opticwhat the fuck?
>>220602751Better that Del' Tacos Frankestein movie
>>220594625Triple Frontier if you haven't seen it Operator working for the government in south america asks his old buddies to do pmc work with him Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Ben Affleck, and Pedro Pascal Rare all-around solid and interesting movie from 2019. Avoid spoilers.
>>220594625Memories of Murder (2003) Besides Oldboy, this is the only korean movie that I thought was really great. Also pretty fucking funny at times
>>220594681>>220598939https://youtu.be/GgdXsXp1vHs
>>220594625If you're OK with animation, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000) doesn't have a lot of the type of anime faggotry that tends to turn people off, it's a genuine masterpiece of animation and style, it has a vampire who wants to escape into space on an ancient rocket ship The Vampire Hunter D movie from 1985 is about the same character, very violent but obviously nowhere near as well crafted There's actually a lot of tacticool//operator stuff in japanese animation, even if you want to avoid certain patterns of anime there's stuff like Jin Roh the Wolf Brigade (1999), another timeless masterpiece of style and animation, it's about a special police force set up to fight insurgent groups in a version of japan that was occupied after Germany won WW2. You could check out the original Ghost in the Shell, that's operator kino as fuck Sicario 1 and 2- treat them as separate movies
> Happy Hell Night / Frat Fright (1991)Very Good (the killer is menacing as fuck at times but that is diminished a little by a few Freddy style quips)
Pic related is arguably my favorite JCVD film.
Probably his best in my book.The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent was fun too.
>>220596765The orignal french movie is better, the protagonist is a regular joe instead of some ultimate operator faggot.

>>220603060Weird that all this starpower went without a huge promotional fanfare.
>>220594875With the Val Kilmer commentary track too
>>220603060going to try this one this evening ty
>>220603060Fun fact the director of Triple Frontier directed Margin Call... and strangely also Kraven. Which I surprisingly didn't end up hating.
>>220603413See>>220595846
>>220606166Any highlights? Does he talk about how sexy k bell was?
>>220607550>>220607550>>220607550Bump
>>220605543I will check out more of his filmography since cure left such a high impression. Its in the top japanese films easily.
>>220608397it is a direct inspiration for silent hill 2's aesthetic, and another interesting tidbit is that kurosawa's slasher movie (sweet home) was an inspiration for a game that in turn inspired resident evil so he has really tangible survival horror conections despite his movies being much more moodyi suggest you watch pulse next and then charisma
>>220603169chuckled every time that dude threw a tantrum and starts kicking shit
>>220598422That's lame, and OP wants scifi anyway. Oblivion is the real underrated Cruise gem.
>>220594845>But the movie itself isn't bad.The movie is fucking horrible where they fuck up even the most fundamental things like blocking. The production design and cast were the only things that weren't bush league trash from the guy who directed the edgy snow white adaptation.
>>220610325lmao I knew it was going to be dogshit
>>220610325Yeah, it's okay as a generic cyberpunk 2077 movie (like seriously, the movie is almost identical in design to CDPR's world), but it's a colossal downgrade to the anime.
>>220603192Yeah, but tell me why.
>>220602690Ok, _now_ I've seen the sequel. (Occupation:Rainfall) A lot wilder than the first. Left it open ended though, with a 3rd and 4th movie supposedly in development but that was as of 2022.
>>220596654I love this fucking movie.
>>220597739Great fucking movie.
>>220599221I was surprised at how much I enjoyed The Green Knight.
>>220594770Not even close
