Good Movies Thread

[tacomama]

I thought I'd start a thread on good movies we have seen and would like to recommend to others. I didn't want to hijack other threads specific to one movie so I thought we can just keep this one going and keep adding to it.

Ok, the one I just saw on bluray was Alpha.
Really cool movie set about 20,000 years ago, well done, and quite different that some of the junk coming out of the theaters lately.
Here is the trailer: https://youtu.be/uIxnTi4GmCo

Post your good movie recommendations AND post a link to the trailer if you can.

[Redneck 7]

Thanks for the recommendation. Looks good and I never heard of it coming out. Gonna watch it right now.

[tacomama]

^Thanks!

Just saw the trailer for these ones, looks good too.

Yes, saw that one, excellent movie.

A few years old, but a good one too, The Grey, with Liam Neeson.

Saw that a few days ago. A little over the top and unrealistic, but good nonetheless.

The Road

[bat119]

Into the white on netflix

based on a true story at the end of the movie they show the Brit and German pilot meeting after the war in real life.

I still think that Sahara is a classic...

[Jamie]

Great post idea.
So I already mentioned The 12th Man. Still amazed by that movie after a couple of days.

One I just wrapped up was called Downfall. Yeah, another sub title movie... (Perhaps I should get a Library card)

Though the movie dragged a bit (As we all know the outcome) this was the best Hitler performance I have seen. Great movie. This one shocked me in some of the same ways that Saving Private Ryan did. It was really nice to see a WW2 movie from the eyes of actual Germans. They managed to make Hitler look like a real person. It's a sad movie but not for the reason you think. I had to do some research once I finished and what they showed was true. I hold no sympathy for those caught up in all the German crap they pulled but this is a new way of looking at it.

I watched this move on a APP called Popcorn time.

[wildbill]

Hunt for the wilder people, not that new, but a refreshing change from all the Hollywood movies.

[Redhorse Ranch]

We don't go to the theatre much anymore, but if you want to see a current movie that will entertain you without the obligatory social scolding, go see "The Mule". Good story.

Huh, I was looking forward to see that but everyone I talked to who's seen it thought it was terrible.

[Redhorse Ranch]

We really enjoyed it, especially the lack of proselytizing. Just told the story. The Eastwood character wasn't what we expected.

I haven't seen it but I would be surprised if Clint made a bad movie,he is an awesome director, and actor. Im currently watching El Chapo,definetly not boring like some of these series that drag out episodes with all kinds of foolish trash.

The “Fargo” seasons on Netflix are really really good. Billy Bob Thornton plays an evil human being. Couldn’t stop watching.

My favourite show. Season 3 is a little out there, but I still enjoyed it. Can't wait for season 4!

If anybody hasn't watched breaking bad I highly recommend it, couldn't stop watching warning black humor not for the faint of heart.

Walt alias Heisenberg plays the role perfectly

Watched that one a little while ago. A bit strange but quite enjoyable nevertheless. Not too many happy endings.

[tacomama]

A few more....

TV Series:
Narcos (Netflix)

Narcos: Mexico (Netflix)

The Killing (mini series)

Better call Saul - Breaking Bad spin-off with the lawyer Jimmy McGill, pre-dates the events of Breaking Bad but has characters and events in it that lead up to Breaking Bad

More movies:
The Edge (filmed in AB as well!)
Rush
Ronin

[Bigwoodsman]

Went and saw this last weekend. Enjoyed the movie, but I like Eastwood. It was nice that there wasn't stuff blowing up and people getting killed every other seen. The story moved along, quite well. I thought Eastwood did a good job portraying the fellow. Based on a true story.

If you like a good story and enjoy his acting you won't be disappointed. I'll give it 4 kernels of popcorn out of 5.

I just saw "No Country For Old Men" by Coen brothers - pretty awesome. Or well.. This is not a film, it is a FX's TV Series "Fargo". One of the best TV Series I think. Specially first season.

[TomP]

“Animal kingdom” on Netflix is superb. It is pretty dark though. If your into criminal/heist/drug shows it’s a good one

Hey, Searching is a great movie! Very original krimi thriller with John Cho (Sulu from Star Trek :D ) in lead role! This movie should have more attention than it currently has!

[BloodHound70]

Great thread!! Lots of interesting ones to check out....

My picks:

Bohemian Rhapsody was very good. What a performance from the actor who played Freddie Mercury. Don't have to be much of a Queen fan to enjoy this one.

Molly's Game- The true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target.

Den of Thieves- If you like heist movies, this is a MUST SEE.

BH

I thought Bohemian was a ok at best. A movie made extra good by the Actor playing Freddie. The movie it self was silly. I think that actor deserves the Academy award for that one. Not sure if he will get it as the movie was so bad. (On a awards not entertainment level) When you sit back and really look at that movie, it really is a shame. Could have been a great story to share. But it's filled with so many glib type things. They tried to dumb down a interesting story.

[Hogie135]

Shameless......TV show on Netflix. William H Macy plays the town drunk VERY well. I'd give the show 9/10.

Bright.......on Netflix with Will Smith. great movie.

[R3illy]

Hunt for the wilder people, not that new, but a refreshing change from all the Hollywood movies.

This movie is one of the more refreshing movies I've come across. I was dreading this pick from my wife. There was a scene in that movie that made me laugh for 20 min straight. It got to the point we had to put it on pause. I've mentioned to everyone that this is one they should watch.

Good stuff.

[frusig]

Netflix doesn't have so many good movies. I personally don't understand the hype around Bird Box.. for me it was just another.. slightly worse "A Quiet Place". But what I really liked was "Outlaw King". Really entertaining, brutal and nicely shot historic movie.

I just watched the above movie on Netflix last night, a great movie based on a true story. I didn't realize that Dag Hammarskjöld's ("the Secretary General of the UN") Plane was shot down over the Jungle in 1962, (another good cover up).

He's referring to The Siege of Jadotville.

watched POLAR on Netflix , its an action packaged Movie , its cool.

[Red Bullets]

An old movie from 1971 but still a good movie. Youtube has it for a fee but 'imdb' might have it for free. I didn't even know you can rent movies on you tube.

Man In The Wilderness.

Based on the actual Hugh Glass that was mauled by a bear and left for dead in the wilds of the mid 1800's.

The Revenant is a remake of the same story. I like the old movie better.


Youtube Trailer:

This was in interesting series back 20 years ago. Well worth the watch for anyone that romanticizes and dreams about homesteading in western Canada

Pioneer Quest: A Year In The Real West

2 couples move onto homesteads of the 1870's and live a year as homesteaders, with only a covered wagon load of goods. A slow paced reality series so not action packed but still interesting as it illustrates just how trying the act of homesteading from scratch was. Canadian made. Just like my ancestors that homesteaded around here 125 years ago.

I found the first episode here free online. tubi has more episodes too.

BH.. I didn't mind it and really thought the actor playing Freddie was amazing. a travesty if he doesn't win the academy award for that.

The movie was fun to watch, just not award worthy. It just seemed all to set up. But what do I know. I laughed outloud more than a few times at the movie "TAG" last night. LOLOLOL

[nivlac]

I walk the line with Gregory Peck and Tuesday Weld aprox. 1971

[nivlac]

Going way back there was nothing like the old 3D movies with the big glasses. Everything came out at you and you would duck.

Thought I would put this old west movie here since it was filmed in Alberta in 1954. Sort of funny in its accuracy but it is a movie after all.
It was filmed on the headwaters and lakes of the North Saskatchewan river.

Just finishing The Dirt as I type this, I'm a huge fan of the band so I am liking the movie, but I see how people may not like as much. I read the book and the stories of these guys is crazy. Not sure how they made it out alive, but damn I would have loved to spend some time down on the Sunset Strip back n the early 80's.
