I got behind on my movie-watching and plan to mostly catch up over the next couple of months. Here is my list of movies from the past three years or so that I plan to see. Which ones should I prioritize and which ones should I probably skip?
The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies (moderately enjoyed the first two)
Dumb and Dumber To (enjoyed the first two, a fan of stupid humor)
Big Hero 6 (not normally into kid's shows but heard this one was good)
Nightcrawler
Guardians of the Galaxy (like superhero movies but think they are starting to feel a bit played out)
Lucy
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Neighbors
Capt America 2
Muppets Most Wanted
Birdman
We're the Millers
American Hustle
This is the End
Oblivion (I enjoy trippy SciFi)
R.I.P.D. (enjoyed the graphic novel)
Her
Dallas Buyers Club
21 and 22 Jump Street
Life of Pi
Looper
Moonrise Kingdom (hot and cold on Wes Anderson)
The Watch
This is Where I Leave You
Inside Llewyn Davis (huge Coen Bros. fan)
Did not see: D&D2, Nightcrawler, Neighbors, Millers, This is the End, Oblivion, RIPD, 21/22 jS, The Watch, This is where I leave you
Hobbit - you have to finish if you've watched them all. I LOVE Tolkein and saw all the Hobbits for a sense of completion but it wasn't great. These movies, while fun, don't touch LOTR
BH6 - I really liked this movie, San Fransokyo was such a cool place/idea. Very original and fun, kids loved it to
Guardians of the Galaxy - one of the best of the year. My favorite Marvel movie ever, so much fun. Even if you are getting tired of super hero movies this one is different, breaks the mold a bit, funnier than most.
Lucy - great idea, really good moive, SUCK ENDING! Prepare yourself
X-Men - Fun, cool concept. A bit tired of x-men but this was worth price of admission, it was done well.
CA2 - my favorite of the Avengers seris of movies. Really liked this a lot and CA 1 was probably my least favorite Avengers movie. It wasn't as good as GotG but better than any other Avenger flick
Muppets - ok. It was fun but forgettable
Birdman - One of the best movies of the year, maybe the best. Probably a love it or hate it, I LOVED it. One of my favorite scores ever, so cool. If you ever wanted to "watch" jazz, this is the movie. Keaton was awesome, so happy to see him do something great again.
American Hustle - really solid movie, not amazing. Worth watching but didn't blow me away
Her - very interesting, creative movie. Really liked it a lot. I like visionary, near future sci-fi. Lots of interesting questions in this movie
Dallas Buyer Club - ridiculously great perfromance by Wooderson himself. Good movie with a GREAT performance
Life of Pi - I really dug this movie, visually amazing. Of all the movies you mentioned, this is the one you should have seen in the theaters. Best visual movie since Avatar
Looper - Love sci fi, loved this flick. One of my favorites last year, just really like the idea and story, everyone was good in it.
Moonrise Kingdom - typical Wes Anderson. If you like him you'll love it. If you don't, you wont. I thought it was one of his stronger movies, really liked it but understand why a lot dont
Inside Lewyn Davis - prepare yourself for disappointment. Was probably looking forward to this movie more than anything else on the list. I loved the soundtrack, liked the cast, everything about it looked like it was right in my wheelhouse. I thought it was SO boring I couldnt' believe it. I can't express enough how disappointing this movie was to me.
If I were ordering the to must sees....
Birdman
Guardians
Life of Pie
Dallas Buyers Club
CA 2
Looper
Hobbit
BH6
Everyting else
Have fun. Just sitting around tonight waiting for a job to run on our server with nothing better to do. Happy to have a thread to pass the time.
