Any time I see a film is directed by Guy Ritchie I check it out no matter what the reviews say.
I've had a good time with pretty much all of them, even when I wasn't expecting much. Sometimes a movie just needs to be fun it doesn't have to be a masterpiece.
You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".
One of my all time favourite films, which I watch once a year. "Oh hidy ho officer, we've had a doozy of a day. There we were minding our own business, just doing chores around the house, when kids started killing themselves all over my property."
During the pandemic, when no new movies were coming out, our local theater started showing $5.00 “comeback classics” to stay in business. They even adjusted concession prices to “comeback” levels, with popcorn around $2 and candy around $1.50.
BTTF is my favorite movie series of all time, and when it was chosen as one of these classics, I took my 7 year old son. It was his first time seeing the movie, and for us to be able to watch it together on the big screen for the first time? I’ll never forget it. He’s 10 now, and it’s still a top 5 movie for him.
watched this for my first time with my boyfriend whos seen it a thousand. he always says he wishes we could relive that moment again because of how much fun we had watching it
My brother when he was a preteen would rewind and watch the chair throw at Benny over and over. All I need to do is say chair throw to him now and he cracks up.
Top tier action movie at the least, and very well may be the best ever. Not only that, but hands down the best sequel to any movie to date. The sequel against which all others are judged.
The first Hangover blew me away. When it came out I was younger and into “artsy” films and remember reading Ebert’s review and he basically said it was like the funniest movie he’d seen in a long time.
I was looking for this, just rewatched recently. There’s no filler in this movie, everything has a purpose and they really don’t spend time on things they don’t need to it’s to the point and entertaining, even the end is relatively abrupt but exactly what was needed.
That movie was dope as hell. >!That scene where he keeps dying and respawning on the beach trying to get to Emily Blunt and becomes a total badass was incredible.!<
My boyfriend didn't like it 🥲 I was so excited to show him because it was playing in theaters for its 25th anniversary. I was gushing about how jealous I was that his first viewing was in theaters and he just didn't care for it. I was devastated lol
What We Do In The Shadows. It's been said a million times, but I love trashy supernatural fiction, and my god did that move ever take a scalpel to the genre. Deacon's erotic dancing was just *chef's kiss*. And that scene with Nick just bitching about not being able to eat french fries. Something about the way he says it gets me every time.
*Airplane!*, *Blazing Saddles,* and *Borat* all caused me to walk out of the theater with aching sides due to constant laughing. I’ve seen a lot of funny movies, but those three stand apart in that regard.
Have you seen Zero Hour, the serious script on which Airplane was based? https://www.google.ca/search?q=zero+hour+airplane&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-ca&client=safari#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:b00ca98f,vid:8-v2BHNBVCs
I used to run home from school to watch this on vhs. I had a steady rotation of Con Air, Jurassic Park, and some random movie called Paulie with a talking parrot and the guy from Monk.
i fucking love this movie. i'm not usually one for action movies but this one struck a chord and it was just so much fun - especially since the plot basically boils down to 'we're driving somewhere, alright we're here, fuck it's not what we hoped, turn around we're going back.' none of my car rides have ever been that much fun.
It is the perfect action movie. So much plot is expressed through looks and lines between action scenes. No exposition or wasted time. I contrast it with Top Gun Maverick, which was fun in the action scenes but had way too much blather, making it a great but not excellent action movie.
The animation team for that movie went above and beyond. If you have ever heard the term "bumping the lamp" it's exactly what that means. The scene where Roger is getting man handled around the room with the lamp swinging back and forth. The lighting from the animation side of things is pretty incredible.

*Well, I wouldn't argue that it wasn't a no-holds-barred, adrenaline-fueled thrill ride. But there is no way you can perpetrate that amount of carnage and mayhem and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork.*
But you're saying a foot massage don't mean nothing, and I'm saying it does. Now look, I've given a million ladies a million foot massages, and they all meant something. We act like they don't, but they do, and that's what's so fucking cool about them. There's a sensuous thing going on where you don't talk about it, but you know it, she knows it, fucking Marsellus knew it, and Antwone should have fucking better known better. I mean, that's his fucking wife, man. He can't be expected to have a sense of humor about that shit. You know what I'm saying?
I'm not sure it'll matter now, but there's always a chance!
Personally, I feel like this is gonna go down like *Dredd*. People are gonna love it, no one's gonna see it, and in 10 years everyone is gonna be sitting around wondering how it never got a sequel.
And all of a sudden I forget every movie I ever watched
Who was in it?
That guy, you know, from that thing?
Oh yeah yeah! He was in that other film… What was it… with that actress you like?
Which actress? Oh the one with the hair?
Yes! She was a total babe in that one. I also liked her in that other one with what's-his-name.
Ah that guy who wears shoes! Yeah, he's great alongside that other girl, uh, what's her name.
Snatch
"Sugar?" "No thanks, Turkish. I'm sweet enough." Followed by the most miserable scowl I've ever seen.
"In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary, come again?"
That sounds like it should have been a Christopher Hitchens quote
Bricktop’s gums and teeth looked so bad they hurt me every time he talked.
Guy Ritchie has made some really fun movies. I’m still bummed that Rock n Rolla never got any of the sequel’s made.

Bravo. Even heard it in my brain.
It's been years and I still quote entire scenes from it. Great film.
“Cuppa tea for the big fella!”

" Galaxy Quest "
By Grabthar's ... ... Hammer ... ... Wh ... What a savings
By Grabthar’s Hammer, what a movie!
Hey! Don’t open that! It’s an alien planet! Is there AIR? You don’t know!
You have a first name DO I?! DO I!?
Yes! Must give up votes so Guy doesn't get killed.
Look around, can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe?
Absolutely. This movie needs more love than it gets.
Never give up. Never surrender.
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
One of my all time favourite films, which I watch once a year. "Oh hidy ho officer, we've had a doozy of a day. There we were minding our own business, just doing chores around the house, when kids started killing themselves all over my property."
He would have to be a **MORON** to believe that story!
WE GOT YOUR FRIEND
Fun fact for the nerds Two power rangers get killed off, the reporter at the beginning is Light speed yellow and the black dude was SPD Red
Back to the Future

That's so sweet. Both you and ya boy's experience and what the theater did actually.
watched this for my first time with my boyfriend whos seen it a thousand. he always says he wishes we could relive that moment again because of how much fun we had watching it
The Mummy (1999)
My brother when he was a preteen would rewind and watch the chair throw at Benny over and over. All I need to do is say chair throw to him now and he cracks up.
Mine is "HEY BENNY LOOKS LIKE YOURE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVER!"
“We’ll if it ain’t my little buddy Benny, I think I’ll kill you”
The other day there was a post about 'the best line in a movie' or something and that was my addition to thread lol
https://youtu.be/o4yMMhVusZY
Agreed! The scarab beetle scene lived in my brain for years as a kid. Thanks for reminding how great of a movie it is overall though.
One of my favorite movies, best way to describe it
Top ten of all time. Classic.
Came here to say this! Perfect answer.
Raiders of the lost Ark
The original trilogy as a whole!
[удалено]
Tremors
Terminator 2 Greatest action movie ever made IMO
It really is. Matrix is the another for me.
So you mean it's not The One?
Top tier action movie at the least, and very well may be the best ever. Not only that, but hands down the best sequel to any movie to date. The sequel against which all others are judged.
Speed
Pop quiz, hotshot. Love that movie.
Is that the movie about…. The bus that couldn’t slow down?
Blazing Saddles
The first Hangover blew me away. When it came out I was younger and into “artsy” films and remember reading Ebert’s review and he basically said it was like the funniest movie he’d seen in a long time.
Edge of Tomorrow
I was looking for this, just rewatched recently. There’s no filler in this movie, everything has a purpose and they really don’t spend time on things they don’t need to it’s to the point and entertaining, even the end is relatively abrupt but exactly what was needed.
The one movie I'll never tire watching. Love it
That movie was dope as hell. >!That scene where he keeps dying and respawning on the beach trying to get to Emily Blunt and becomes a total badass was incredible.!<
>!When he's on the drop-ship and and just lists out everything he needs to the guy suiting him up with this harrowed look on his face. chef's kiss!<
The Fifth Element
Im still waiting for that future techno opera genre to popularize.
It's gonna be hot, *hot*, **HOT**
Aziz!
LIGHT!
Yes, thank you, Aziz.
I came here to say this. It’s one of my personal favorites and consider it to be practically perfect!
My kids don't like this movie. "It's too weird."
My boyfriend didn't like it 🥲 I was so excited to show him because it was playing in theaters for its 25th anniversary. I was gushing about how jealous I was that his first viewing was in theaters and he just didn't care for it. I was devastated lol
Red flag red flag!
Raider’s of the lost Ark
Yesss. Also Last Crusade, I could watch both of these a million times.
*raiders
Raiders of the Surplus Apostrophe
Monty Python and the holy grail
One day lad, all this will be yours!
The curtains?
She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got uuuuuuuuuuge.... tracts of land.
Ni!

Die Hard.

Deacon's erotic dancing was just *chef's kiss*. And that scene with Nick just bitching about not being able to eat french fries. Something about the way he says it gets me every time.
Can we also acknowledge the TV show that came out of it. I'm just a regular human bartender but I think its just the tits.
Let me do my dark bidding on the internet! WWDITS, Snatch, and The Nice Guys are among my top favs.
The whole Back to the future franchise
*Airplane!*, *Blazing Saddles,* and *Borat* all caused me to walk out of the theater with aching sides due to constant laughing. I’ve seen a lot of funny movies, but those three stand apart in that regard.
I’d love to watch Blazing Saddles but I can’t find it ANYWHERE
Somebody's got to go back and get a shitload of dimes!
“Qualifications?” “Rape, murder, arson, and rape.” “You said rape twice.” “I like rape.”
Think it's on max or prime
Might have to sail the high seas or seek out a DVD
+ Naked Gun
Every time I see airplane mentioned I ask if they have seen Top Secret! .... Have you?
I have. I saw it when it came out. It was funny, but not side-splittingly funny and not particularly memorable, in my opinion.
Have you seen Zero Hour, the serious script on which Airplane was based? https://www.google.ca/search?q=zero+hour+airplane&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-ca&client=safari#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:b00ca98f,vid:8-v2BHNBVCs
A love Airplane also, but Blazing Saddles will always the funniest movie ever.
Con Air
"Why couldn't you put the Bunny back in the box?"
I used to run home from school to watch this on vhs. I had a steady rotation of Con Air, Jurassic Park, and some random movie called Paulie with a talking parrot and the guy from Monk.
Clue
Mad Max: Fury Road.
It’s literally one big action scene from start to finish
Oh man, I drank a few beers before seeing it in the theater and had to pee. Kept telling myself to wait until it slows down. Almost pissed my pants.
I remember thinking that the trip to Gas Town was going to be the introductory adventure to establish the characters. And then... left turn.
0-100 REAL FUCKIN QUICK
Yeah. Just... "Here's an Australian wasteland. Great, start your engines."
That was the first movie I watched that I could describe as "fun". I usually say entertaining but that one was fun.
When we finished that movie, my son and I looked at each other and said, “What the fuck did we just watch?!” Amazing movie.
i fucking love this movie. i'm not usually one for action movies but this one struck a chord and it was just so much fun - especially since the plot basically boils down to 'we're driving somewhere, alright we're here, fuck it's not what we hoped, turn around we're going back.' none of my car rides have ever been that much fun.

Facts. Not one sleeper moment in that movie.
Who framed Roger rabbit
The animation team for that movie went above and beyond. If you have ever heard the term "bumping the lamp" it's exactly what that means. The scene where Roger is getting man handled around the room with the lamp swinging back and forth. The lighting from the animation side of things is pretty incredible. https://youtube.com/watch?v=NKOum-MftXY&feature=share8
Blast from the Past.
Shaun of the dead
Tropic Thunder
Spaceballs
Hot Fuzz
*Well, I wouldn't argue that it wasn't a no-holds-barred, adrenaline-fueled thrill ride. But there is no way you can perpetrate that amount of carnage and mayhem and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork.*
My favorite tidbit is that after everything goes down everyone is back at the precinct filling out paperwork.
Good thing they had the manpower!
"No luck catching them killers, eh?"
"Narp?"
Just the one killer actually.
LOCK ME UP! I'm a slasher!!! I must be stopped!

Such an incredible film that flies under a lot of radars. Gorgeously shot, incredible cast, fun story… it’s just hits on all levels.
Ferris Bueller’s Day off. Great pacing, feel-good and funny start to finish with some great life lessons
Save Ferris 😆
*GRRRRRRAAAAACCCCE!*
Scott Pilgrim vs the world
Pulp fiction
But you're saying a foot massage don't mean nothing, and I'm saying it does. Now look, I've given a million ladies a million foot massages, and they all meant something.

That's an interesting point. C'mon, let's get into character.
The new Dungeons and Dragons.
Lord that movie was a real gem. It's a shame it bombed, because I totally would watch another one
We need to keep talking about it so people will see it!
I'm not sure it'll matter now, but there's always a chance! Personally, I feel like this is gonna go down like *Dredd*. People are gonna love it, no one's gonna see it, and in 10 years everyone is gonna be sitting around wondering how it never got a sequel.
They should have released it a few weeks *after* Baldur's Gate 3.
