Good Movie Thread

[FAUlty Gator]

Ok folks. I’m in the mood for one. I’m thinking something along the lines of the ones I’m gonna list below but not those because I’ve seen them. Please understand I’m here asking because I’ve pretty much seen everything but there alway a few I haven’t and would love to stumble upon a good one.

I’d like it to be made after 1980.

Something along the lines of…

Michael Clayton
Hard Eight
Spanish Prisoner
House of Games
Grosse Point Blank
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Burn After Reading

What we got?!?

 

[FAUlty Gator]

Yeah so…when you get a minute.

 

[SansAgain]

Well, you posted mostly shit movies. It’s hard to figure out what to offer you,

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

I just watched The Family Plan on Apple TV starring Mark Wahlberg. I enjoyed it.

I’ve seen all the good ones. I’m setting a low bar.

 

[Bro D]

I watched The Game tonight for the first time in a while. Always a good watch

I think this thread is worthless without clips.

What genre are you looking for? I don’t see a clear connection between those flicks.

I gave you a wide tent. I’d say, “Drama that involves some intrigue”.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Kind of a schizo list. So I can't help other than give you recommendations for a good movie.

 

[Fan In Black]

The Proposition is one of the best westerns nobody ever talks about. Old Henry too.

I just watched The Cursed which is the best werewolf movie I've ever seen.

The Pale Blue Eye is one of the better films I've ever seen.

For your category:
Killing Them Softly
Out Of The Furnace
Gone Baby Gone

I dunno you said you've seen them all.

Watched that the other night, it wasn’t bad.

You may be better served with a good series, movies suck lately.

HBO had a run of good thriller series, Prime has several good options also for original series

Michael Clayton and Burn After Reading are 2 of my favorites. I have to rewatch Burn After reading every 2 or 3 months. Hilarious.

Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain.

 

[Ray Kinsella]

Glengarry Glen Ross

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

Since your list is quite varied, here’s a mix of lesser known films I enjoyed. Ever seen these?

A Simple Plan
Bridge of Spies
Hell or High Water
Black Mass
American Made
Three Kings

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

Any of these?

Thief
Wind River
A History of Violence
Hell or High Water
Layer Cake
A Civil Action
Breach
Win Win
Breaker Morant
Gallipoli
The Lookout
Eastern Promises
The Onion Field

 

[Fan In Black]

If you haven't seen Peanut Butter Falcon I would really recommend it. If that movie doesn't move you emotionally there is something wrong with you. It's heart warming and original.

put that film above all else I recommended. As someone that has guided young people you are the perfect audiance for that movie. It's inspirational and cuts to what is important in life and humanity.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

Couple of ship movies - The Bounty or Master and Commander?

 

[Tunadog]

Winter's Bone. Meth makers and meth heads in the Ozarks. Dirty, dark, grimy, but not without hope.

Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Garret Dillahunt.

Four Oscar nominations on a budget of $2 million.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

How about some Sam Rockwell films

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
The Way, Way Back
A Single Shot
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

And a random older one I thought of - Southern Comfort

 

[JupiterHawk]

The creator of Michael Clayton created disney‘s Andor series. Highly recommend that series.

 

[JupiterHawk]

Big Short
Blackberry
Boiler Room
Children of Men
Conspiracy
The Covenant
In Time
Kingdom of Heaven Directora Cut
A Most Violent Year
Old Henry

Nice!

 

[WhiteSoxClone]

It’s from 1968, so it doesn’t meet your criteria. But the most criminally under watched movie of all time has to be Once Upon A Time In The West. The best Western ever, and a top ten all-time movie. But even film buffs I know have never seen it, and many have never even heard of it.

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

Syriana
And the Band Played On
The Grey
Presumed Innocent

Shotcaller is a good under the radar flick. Stars the guy who played Jamie Lannister in Game of Thrones.

Dark flick.
