[Major]

17 - Everything Everywhere All At Once

Counting the trend of terrible movies to win an Oscar . No idea how this got picked over Banshees.

This movie is phenomenal.

Agreed. I doubt I'm going to take many film recommendations from this Dan fellow.

Nah man I’ve got good taste I just don’t always follow the crowd

I think Boggs and The Sisters need to have a word with you

Wade “the chicken man” Boggs?

The antagonists/prison rapists in Shawshank

I mean I’m an engineering major but I had to take that crap along with philosophy, psychology and economic geography so I’m an expert in those fields as well

To be fair I think I squeaked by a D

My buddy had the prior level class. He said it was easy as heck. Just a bunch of multiple-choice tests
First day i find out there’s a 15 page term required. I wrote that on how south and Central America countries would benefit from a legalized drug trade.

It also didn’t help that we skipped class every Monday so we could go watch Monday night football

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Oh also took economics

Supply and Demand

That’s the gist of it

Something or other about an invisible hand by some guy named Adam Smith?

That was a good burn. Reminds me of one I just learned of the other day.

Charlton Heston published his autobiography called, "An Actor's Life".

Now you probably know depsite being famous, Heston wasn't exactly Daniel Day Lewis. Gore Vidal's "review" of Heston's novel, "An Actor's Life" was simply, something to the effect of: he never does reveal the name of the eoponymous actor.

Well played Vidal and well played GM.

I didn't read this whole thread (and unlikely ever will), but I think my #1 has to be The Big Lebowski.

What if Tim told you over a 3,650 day period there weren't 30 better movies made?

Star Wars VII, VIII, and XIX
Flaming piles of garbage, let's start there and work our way out

I never made it past the one after phantom menace. To me, the only Star Wars came out between 1977 and 1983. I have no interest in any others. All the other movies actually reduced my interest in the original 3. So yeah, the Star Wars universe is massively overrated/overhyped.

I think you would like Rogue One. IMO that is by far the best one since the 80s, and it ties in to those.

 

[Frostillicus]

Can't replicate the picture, sound,

only reason I even go to theaters anymore. The spectacle of it all.

I’ll be going to see Jaws this summer when it’s released to theaters for its 50th anniversary. Now that will be an experience.

Got to see it on the big screen about 20 years ago (damn I'm old). Was super awesome.

I taught a film studies course in high school. Who is the master now?

Really it was just 1 semester because the normal teacher was on leave and nobody else wanted it. And this was a public school elective so we didn’t dive too deep on anything, was more about trying to get them to be interested in any movies that weren’t marvel or Conjuring or Disney.

It was all over the place. Some kids were into theater and stuff so they already had wider interests. Some joined because they figured watching movies would be easy and there would be lots of nap time. Like any class, the kids got out of it what they were willing to put in. I kept it pretty light on technical details and tried to hit something from every genre.

Jokes on them if they had to sit through Hiroshima, Mon Amour like I did

I think Double Indemnity was the only film I liked

Iirc it was
Birth of a nation
Caligiri
Potemkin
Double indemnity
Citizen kane
Hiroshima
Tokyo story
Maybe Rear Window

Definitely didn’t watch any of those for the HS class but that’s a banger list of movies. Hiroshima Mon Amour is a beautiful movie.

I think we did

Horror: Halloween
Sci-fi: The Matrix
Action- Adventure: The Princess Bride
Comedy: Dumb and Dumber, Ferris Bueller
Drama: The Truman Show, Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting
Romance/Musical: Singing in the Rain
War: Saving Private Ryan

I think I would some things different now but this was awhile ago

 

[Leroy Hoard]

My high school film class was great. Watch a movie over 4 days and take a test on Friday. Some of the movies:

Citizen Kane
Some Like It Hot
Meet Me In St. Louis
The Pink Panther
Rear Window

Yeah I took one in HS that was awesome. The teacher was crazy and I couldn’t believe the movies she would show us in our Catholic HS. Deliverance, Election, Halloween, Aliens, Citizen Kane and Singin in the Rain are the ones I remember. Super informative class I learned a ton.

Rashomon

North By Northwest
Last Tango In Paris
Casablanca

From memory. There were many more.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

Citizen Kane and Some Like It Hot were also on the curriculum
As was The Apartment

After reading your list so far, I'd love to know what movie you do find funny. Because, well I just wonder if you laugh.

Spaceballs
Major league
Naked gun
Being There
Happiness

Those are all some of my favorite comedies off the top of my head

Spaceballs 2 announced
