Okay so my holiday started yesterday and I've been more into watching movies lately. Problem is, I don't really know what to watch.

I'm planning on watching more of Johnny Depp's movies so you don't have to suggest any with him in it.

I love disaster movies, like, love. Tornadoes, sun flares, volcanoes, you name it, I love it. If you know any good ones, please tell me, because I'm running out of disaster movies to watch.

Other movies I enjoyed were Castaway, POTC, LOTR, The Green Mile, Forrest Gump, ...yeah, a lot of with the same actors, but I want more.

So if you can, please suggest some movies you think I'd like.

Thanks. <3

I saw 2012 yesterday!

And surprisingly I haven't even seen The Day After Tomorrow yet. Well... I've seen a part of it, but not all of it, so thanks for reminding me of that. XD

Volcano
Tornado

Both good disaster movies.

There was one, think it was called "10.1" but not sure, pretty good.
2012

Don't know if you'll like these, kinda violent:

Saving Private Ryan
Black Hawk Down

Comedy:

What happens in Vegas
My cousin Vinny---Amazing, saw it several times
The Waterboy---Amazing, saw it several times
The Longest Yard


Also a lot of good Sci-Fi on the Sci-Fi channel if you have that, I would generally like anything with mutated creatures (eg. Andaconda)

f00sh
12-19-2009, 08:30 PM
The Shawshank Redemption
Secret Window (Johnny Depp)
Silent Hill
House of a Thousand Corpses
Devil's Reject

P.S. Pulp Fiction is trash, don't waste your time.

Do you like weird movies?
Donnie Darko, The Chumscrubber and Tideland are pretty good, but a bit weird.

Tenshi
12-20-2009, 09:29 AM
Weird movies are fine, yes. 8D

Thank you for the suggestions everyone. I'll definitely check them out. :3

Have you ever watched Pulp Fiction? That's a really good film.

That and anything else that is Quentin Tarantino.

disaster movies disaster movies hmm, well you have the Poseidon Adventure (The original, not that crappy disney remake) starring Gene Hackman, Red Buttons, Shelly Winters and a couple of other actors. Eartquake with Charlton Heston, Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones, The Towering Inferno (I forgget who is in it, but OJ Simpson is in it). what else? what else? hmmmm.....Airport with Dean martin and Airport 1975 starring Charlton Heston.

These films I listed are from the 1970s, but I grew up to a lot of these and they are cinema classics. They are also great films if you enjoy older films as well as awesome disaster films.

Two others:
Psycho (The one directed by Alfred Hitchcock)
Gran Torino

Tarantino is one of the worst and overrated directors of our time. Pulp Fiction is so terrible, I was shocked to see an all-star cast being wasted on such a poorly directed and written film.

Iceman
12-22-2009, 02:21 PM
My personal favorite is Reservoir Dogs. To each his own, but I do have a question, f00sh. I always see you saying this film is terrible and this director is terrible, and I agree most of the time, but who is your favorite director or film style, etc.? Out of curiosity of course. You seem like a big movie guy, that is why I am curious.

I'm not really interested in american movies but i cna suggest you a few good anime ones.

Metropolis
Naussica of the valley of the wind
Howl's moving Castle

My top three movies. If you really want something american though and don't mind sports things too much, I suggest Remember the titans or glory road.

Tenshi
12-25-2009, 06:35 AM
I've seen The Last Samurai, it was pretty cool.

I'm definitely gonna watch Spirited Away sometime soon, and How's Moving Castle...

Naruke
12-29-2009, 08:04 PM
To add on to my list.
Try watching, Case Closed: Case of the time-bombed skyscraper.
It's an amazing flick, beyond what I expected from an anime.

Detective Conan :D
Anybody see the new one? Raven Chaser :)
I thought "The Last Wizard of the Century", "Countdown to Heaven", "The Phantom of Baker Street", and the new one were the best =) Give those a try if you like animated mysteries.
