What was the best film you watched this week? (07/08/17 - 13/08/17)
Check the sidebar to see which AMAs we have lined up this week on /r/movies - including David Arquette, Kim Dotcom, and the director of the new documentary Icarus from Netflix!
The way this works is that you post a review of the best film you saw last week. It doesn't have to be a new release, just any film you have seen over the last seven days that you feel is worth talking about. Here are some rules.
1. Check to see if your favourite film of last week has been posted already. If so, please reply to that comment instead of making a new thread.
2. Please post your favourite film of last week.
3. NO TV SHOWS!
4. ALWAYS use spoiler tags. Report any comments that spoil recent / little-known films (e.g. Atomic Blonde) without using the spoiler tag.
5. Comments that only contain the title of the film will be removed!
Here are some of the best comments from last week's thread:
- /u/jones1420 watched the Indiana Jones original trilogy
- Taxi Driver - I feel that this one is up there on the Mount Rushmore of Scorsese films. Travis Bickle's loneliness, isolation, and teetering mental state all come together in the perfect recipe of disaster for a dangerously out-of-touch war vet who is driving around the dirty, crime-ridden streets of New York City. Everything from Paul Schrader's disturbed script, to De Niro's channeled performance, to Scorsese's masterful direction makes this film such a fine piece of work. Bickle's haunted mental state is nearly palpable throughout the film, and it's a reeling experience to watch his warped ideas and plans unfold, crumble, and re-route. If you haven't seen this classic, do yourself a favor and check it out.
- A Ghost Story - What an incredibly unique film. I still can't quite put into words how I feel about it, but I've thought about it a lot since. On one hand, it seems sort of insane to watch someone eat a pie for 5 minutes straight. But on the other, it was such an interesting - and even realistic way - to represent someone's despair. The sound track is incredible as well, I've loaded it up quite a few times in Google Play Music since. My only real 'complaint' is that one scene that has about 50% of the dialogue in the entire movie, is a bit too on-the-nose, and really didn't need to be as explicit to explain the story. They did such a good job explaining the themes almost completely through visual storytelling...so it really wasn't a necessary inclusion.
Have fun and play nice!
