          Idiocracy


          A comedy but also social commentary that is becoming more true every day! Our educational system is broken. You should see all the books that little Ukrainian kids have to haul around on a school day.



          Great movie

              Agree on The Godfather, but I liked some of the old Sean Connery Bond movies. The first one with Daniel Craig was great and one of the other ones after that. 1-2 were kind of slow and I gave up

                    Great movie and great recruiting tool for wannabe naval fliers or the Air Force!

                    I went into the Air Force in 1987 and learned something really quick. They don't give $50 mil dollar aircraft to young kids like that. Thats Hollywood. Almost all the pilots I knew had a little bit of a gut and were atleast 30 years old.

                        Telly Savalas was a weird looking dude. 40 years old atleast and playing in all the war movies back then. Battle of The Bulge, etc. Didn't know he played a Bond villain.

                          Yeah I don't even think of alot of those movies that won Oscars. They're almost all overrated. Or today they just remake a bunch of shit. Blow shit up with CGI and have one middle-aged dude like Tom Cruise or Denzel Washington beat the shit out of 8 younger guys at the same time

                          Cruise and Denzel should be better then that? Like that dumbass movie with Josh Brolin the other day? Same shit

                            Josh Brolin reminds me.


                            Underrated Sicario


                            For my money the original in 2015 is one of the better action movies I've ever seen. Emily Blunt was outstanding as the naive woman in local law enforcement that gets dragged into the world of CIA border war drug shit.

                                        You won't be disappointed in this one. Best role of Stephen Dorff's life and Harvey Keitel is his usual self
                                        No wasted scenes. A revenge flick that keeps moving from beginning to end
                                        Haha I dated Stephen dorffs sister for a few months last year. I’ll have to check it out.

                                                Never seen it and I love Ed Norton. Don't like courtroom movies that much, but I should really try to watch it

                                                  If you like Marilyn Monroe have you seen My Week WIth Marilyn?

                                                  Underrated in my book. Michelle Williams is no Marilyn, but she captures that thing she had with men. They want to bang her, but they also wanted to protect her and be her hero! Sad figure for sure. I think the Kennedys had her killed, but she would've died young from pills/booze anyway

                                                        No way. That movies was just action. It was terrible.

                                                        Check out Layer Cake which got him the role. That was pretty good.

                                                              Well you’re entitled to your own opinion all good. I really enjoyed the soundtrack to that film then & still do. I always thought Maverick was a cool slick dude who went after an older mature chick in the movie which was different. The movie was about love, death, & passion for greatness as a fighter jet pilot & for those reasons it’s one of my all time favorites & don’t consider it a “kid” movie. Space jams is a kid movie and the new one just came out and I feel like that movie was overrated.

                                                                        Under-rated: Ordinary People. GREAT acting across the board. Mary Tyler Moore was great in the bitch role, very tricky to play.

                                                                        Redford told the older actors to not talk to young Timothy Hutton off-screen. Only guy that talked to him was Judd Hirsch, the shrink. That worked perfectly, b/c Hutton looked edgy with everyone except Hirsch.

                                                                        Hirsch earned accolades for his realistic portrayal of the shrink. And Donald Sutherland was pretty good (too) as the dad.
