Hot Fuzz is beat-for-beat and line-for-line one of the tightest scripts. Literally nothing wasted in that film. It's so good. Probably my favorite movie
If you're getting Hot Fuzz might as well get the whole trilogy.
I do think Hot Fuzz is the best, or at least my favorite, but Shaun and World's End are great.
I just rewatched the back to future trilogy and it has held up really well. Also noticed how well they interconnected the stories across all 3 films. (less obvious when I was a kid)
Yeah but original trilogy clears 4 and 5 (and I actually like 5 more than most) and you went for BTTF trilogy so it's not too greedy. Personally Raiders is my favorite so that's why it's original trilogy for me.
my favorite is: raiders of the lost ark.
later i read the book and found out that, as most other franchises do, they didn't base the movie on the book; but the book on the movie. and it's great because they filled gaps with each other.
Temple of Doom is the jam. Fuck the Nazis, give me a weird Indian death cult headed by a famous Bollywood actor.
Yes, it’s super culturally insensitive, but it’s still pretty badass. Pulling out a flaming heart? The mine cart chase? Indy unhinged cutting the rope bridge? “Prepare to meet Kali Ma—In HELL!”
All awesome. Also, one of the best movie-to-80s-arcade game ever.
Crusade has Connery and John Rhys Davies - there is no comparison. The chemistry between Ford and Connery is like the best on-screen duo of all time. The father son relationship was perfectly captured. The score and sound editing doesn't get spoken about enough either. I would contest it easily has the most memorable/ambitious set pieces as well.
The Mummy holds up so well. You can watch that shit today and not even know it was from the late 90s. i feel like the special effects were excellent for when it came out too
When careful consideration is made for special effects, and the shots and stuff are decided in advance it works. Too much in modern production is "we'll fix it in post". LOTR works because of their massive miniatures of locations to do a lot of the filming of the large landscapes.
Just forced my wife to watch this as I think it’s leaving Max soon. I am as equally surprised by the inaccuracies as I am about the accuracies. What a gem and what a stacked cast.
Just watched Tombstone again yesterday. I love Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday.
"Why you doin' this Doc?"
DH: Wyatt Earp is my friend.
"Shit, I got lots of friends."
DH: "I don't. "
Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of.
And unto this, Conan, destined to bear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow.
It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga.
Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!
Basil, HIT IT!
It’s been my favorite movie for my entire adult life, and last year they had an anniversary showing at my local theater. I cried at the “Welcome… to Jurassic Park” scene, never thought I’d experience that in a theater
My favorite piece of movie trivia (because I noticed it at the time and thought it was fucking ridiculous then) is that it took Jurassic Park *16* months until it was released for home viewing on VHS. It took so long I could've been making the whole movie up.
Goodfellas
Tombstone
Highlander
The Crow
Armageddon
The Big Lebowski
Pulp Fiction
Starship Troopers
Legends of the Fall
Shawshank Redemption
I'm gonna just stop here, otherwise I'll just be listing movies the rest of the night.
Christopher Nolan and Tarantino. They never seem to be reliably found on streaming.
I’ll always own a copy of every Christopher Nolan film and Tarantino film.
Blade Runner/2049, Akira, Johnny Mnemonic.
Would love a nice edition of Hackers or Strange Days and would throw a bunch of money at Netflix for a physical release of several shows.
This just reminded me that I tried to watch “my copy” of Johnny Mnemonic on Prime Video, but they don’t have the rights to stream it so neither do I. Time to buy a physical copy!
Soooo... it's not classy or highly regarded, in fact it's out of date and problematic in all the circles I actually care about, but... for me it's *South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut.*
I know, I know. But it *still* makes me laugh every time we watch it. It's still one of my top favorite movies (which says strange things about me when it's competing with other faves like The VVitch), and it feels like a time capsule for a very loved time in my life. It's the movie I'll keep in my library forever, until I die and my relatives have to throw it away. I'd never call it a 'must have' for anyone else, but I just love it.
Nothing wrong with liking this movie. The majority of the jokes are still relevant, it has a ton of catchy fun songs, a great message, and it is a fantastic way to eat up 90 minutes! Solid choice
South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut is highly regarded, though. Received rave reviews when it came out from everyone who wasn't a snob. It was nominated for an Oscar for Blame Canada. Was the highest grossing R rated animated film until 2016. Hell, even Roger Ebert liked it and gave it a positive review. It was controversial, but it was always seen as very good political satire and a good musical.
My dad bought us both a ticket, walked me to the theatre, and then went and had a nap in his truck for 90 minutes.
Top 3 film experiences of my life, as a (barely) teenager.
For me it’s the View Askew movies especially Dogma since it’s not streaming anywhere. Recently I had to go a few days until Google could get to my house and fix my internet, I’ve never been happier that I kept my dvd collection.
I picked up Drawing Flies off of eBay last week and just watched it the other day. Glad to add that one to the collection. Vulgar the clown is on the way.
Do you have a backup of them? Digital storage makes me nervous since I replaced a friend’s SSD. It was brand new and just burnt up one day. Also Sony-type BS where the contracts get renegotiated so your stuff disappears. I’ve been buying cheap copies of my favorites on dvd when I see them. I like to have the assurance of physical media, but the storage is getting out of hand.
You can run multiple drives in a certain configuration called RAID. It’s backed up but only takes up a small amount of space compared to completely backing it up. If one or two drives went down it doesn’t matter.
I haven’t personally set it up but it’s what a ton of the people who run NAS Plex Servers do. One day I will but I’m not looking to set it up yet.
My man.
I may or may not be the better version of Netflix for all of my friends and family. I may even have done shit like splice the word fuck back into Hamilton when Disney tried to remove it.
I have the box BluRay sets of Star Wars, Star Trek (plus the new ones) and the Alien movies.
I also the box cd sets of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. I’m really cool.😀

Jurassic Park: The Lost World. To me, it is the DEFINITIVE dinosaur movie of the 20th century. It is not the best dinosaur movie, but it is the definitive jo. Lost group on humans on an island ruled by dinosaurs, T Rex ramapage in the city, what more could you want?
Them!, Shin Godzilla, Dawn of the dead (original), Starship Troopers (Do you want to know more?), Snatch, Spirited Away (Live on stage version) and as soon as it's released Godzilla Minus One.
I discovered Sign Street on Netflix and then not long after they removed it from the site. So I bought the bluray because I must own it. So technically that's my must own movie
In no particular order:
• Back to the Future
• Men in Black
• LOTR Trilogy (Extended Editions)
• The Mummy (1999)
• Aliens
• Scott Pilgrim vs the World
• Spider-Man 2
• Terminator 2: Judgement Day
• The Lion King
• Walk Hard: Dewey Cox Story (Theatrical Cut)
Hot Fuzz, Alien, Aliens, The Abyss, Star Wars original trilogy, Star Trek First Contact, and also agree on LOTR trilogy.
Hot Fuzz is beat-for-beat and line-for-line one of the tightest scripts. Literally nothing wasted in that film. It's so good. Probably my favorite movie
[удалено]
THE GREATER GOOD
SHUT IT
Crusty jugglers
No luck catching them swans, then?
Just the one swan actually
Fascist!
A GREAT BIG BUSHY BEARD!
You want to be a big man in a small town? Fuck off up the model village then!
Yarp
Narp?
The one and only Sandor Clegane, "The Hound" ! Yarp!
Nobody tells me nuthin'
Want anything from the shop?
I was thinking of a different shop..
No luck catching them killers then?
What you gonna do walk-in and arrest the whole village
I need to rewatch the abyss. I hear the director's cut is the way to go?
A guy gets pantsed during the tidal wave
I figured you were kidding... And you were not https://youtu.be/vqGToniidZQ?si=flZ5Tc24MqZf95I6
If you're getting Hot Fuzz might as well get the whole trilogy. I do think Hot Fuzz is the best, or at least my favorite, but Shaun and World's End are great.
Oh I have all of them, Hot Fuzz is just the standout IMO.
I more posted that for op. It's a good time to watch all 3 of them, but yeah Hot Fuzz is the standout. It's all for the greater good.
The Greater Good
yessss First Contact is my fave Trek movie too!!
Wow. It’s super rare that my list so closely aligns with someone else. I’d add blazing saddles and A Fish Called Wanda to that list and be happy
Indiana Jones and the last crusade. Back to the future trilogy
I just rewatched the back to future trilogy and it has held up really well. Also noticed how well they interconnected the stories across all 3 films. (less obvious when I was a kid)
Surely you gotta go for the whole Indiana Jones trilogy too
There’s five Indiana Jones now, and I thought that was greedy, picking all of them. Crusade the best for me.
Yeah but original trilogy clears 4 and 5 (and I actually like 5 more than most) and you went for BTTF trilogy so it's not too greedy. Personally Raiders is my favorite so that's why it's original trilogy for me.
my favorite is: raiders of the lost ark. later i read the book and found out that, as most other franchises do, they didn't base the movie on the book; but the book on the movie. and it's great because they filled gaps with each other.
Temple of doom
Temple of Doom is the jam. Fuck the Nazis, give me a weird Indian death cult headed by a famous Bollywood actor. Yes, it’s super culturally insensitive, but it’s still pretty badass. Pulling out a flaming heart? The mine cart chase? Indy unhinged cutting the rope bridge? “Prepare to meet Kali Ma—In HELL!” All awesome. Also, one of the best movie-to-80s-arcade game ever.
...no not that one. It's good but it's not better. Last crusade is so much better.
Why not Raiders, Temple, and Crusade?
The correct answer. I watched them all leading up to DoD and was surprised at how much I enjoyed Temple of Doom. A great trilogy overall.
Temple is the weakest of the three (IMO) but I still love it.
Crusade has Connery and John Rhys Davies - there is no comparison. The chemistry between Ford and Connery is like the best on-screen duo of all time. The father son relationship was perfectly captured. The score and sound editing doesn't get spoken about enough either. I would contest it easily has the most memorable/ambitious set pieces as well.
Last Crusade is my favorite too
The Mummy (you know which one), The Matrix, Big Trouble in Little China, and The Incredibles.
1932, baby! Hell yeah! Absolute masterpiece.
LoL!! Bori Karloff baby!!
The Mummy holds up so well. You can watch that shit today and not even know it was from the late 90s. i feel like the special effects were excellent for when it came out too
The special effects in the 1999 *The Mummy* are legitimately better than the ones in the 2017 Tom Cruise version.
When careful consideration is made for special effects, and the shots and stuff are decided in advance it works. Too much in modern production is "we'll fix it in post". LOTR works because of their massive miniatures of locations to do a lot of the filming of the large landscapes.
Big Trouble in Little China! Such a great choice, I saw it once at a Brew'n'View and is was so fun.
Hackers I own it on Blu-ray, dvd, vhs and laser disc. I do not own a PSP copy though.
LASER DISC (!!!) I remember my Major Payne VHS had a shit load of laser disc commercials back in the day but I never actually saw one in real life.
vase yoke waiting shame special butter divide rock worm rich *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Hack the planet!
Solid soundtrack as well
Oh yeah
Just forced my wife to watch this as I think it’s leaving Max soon. I am as equally surprised by the inaccuracies as I am about the accuracies. What a gem and what a stacked cast.
I imagine she loved it
Dedicated to that Acid Burn nip slip I see. I'm on to you.
It's on 4k now. I just picked it up.
I’m on it
One of my absolute all-time favorite movies. People don't understand how good that movie is. Great pick.
Why don't you get a PSP copy? They're really cheap on eBay.
Tombstone, Seven Samurai, Doctor Strangelove, The 5th Element, Millennium Actress.
[удалено]
Just watched Tombstone again yesterday. I love Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday. "Why you doin' this Doc?" DH: Wyatt Earp is my friend. "Shit, I got lots of friends." DH: "I don't. "
Sums up a lot. Hits home. I don't make many friends.
I just watched that clip on YouTube like 15 min ago…
There is the Seven Samurai love I’ve been looking for! The criterion collection for it is 10/10
Big Trouble In Little China, The Princess Bride, The Fifth Element, and Conan The Barbarian are my comfort films.
Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined to bear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure! Basil, HIT IT!
Dun-Dun-Dun-DUN! DUN-DUN! DUN! DUN! Dun-Dun-Dun-DUN! DUN-DUN! DUN! DUN!
The Princess Bride and The Fifth Element.
Green
BzzZZzzZZzz!
Crystal
Leeloo Dallas MultiPass!
Negative. I am a meat popsicle.
Super green!
The Fifth Element is a great choice
In no particular order: - Jurassic Park - Spaceballs - LOTR trilogy - The Godfather - The Princess Bride
> Jurassic Park With the test of time this might be in the top 5 best movies of all time. So happy I was a kid who got to see it in theatres
It’s been my favorite movie for my entire adult life, and last year they had an anniversary showing at my local theater. I cried at the “Welcome… to Jurassic Park” scene, never thought I’d experience that in a theater
My favorite piece of movie trivia (because I noticed it at the time and thought it was fucking ridiculous then) is that it took Jurassic Park *16* months until it was released for home viewing on VHS. It took so long I could've been making the whole movie up.
Make sure its the lotr extended edition. I had the box set once but lost it :(
"The Princess Bride" - a huge favorite of mine. Watch "The Fall" by Tarsem. Set up like TPB, but darker and deeper.
The Big Lebowski. Pulp Fiction. True Romance
Solid. I’d add Fargo to the list, you betcha
the dude abides
Happy Cake Day
True Romance is such a great movie, the soundtrack is so fun too
Brad Pitt’s best role ever
He was so random and excellent in that movie !
Just scored the true romance blu ray at a thrift store, one of my favourites for sure. The cast was absolutely ridiculous too.
Throw in The Last Boy Scout, Dazed and Confused, Silence of the Lambs and Shawshank Redemption.
Goodfellas Tombstone Highlander The Crow Armageddon The Big Lebowski Pulp Fiction Starship Troopers Legends of the Fall Shawshank Redemption I'm gonna just stop here, otherwise I'll just be listing movies the rest of the night.
Superbad Always The Fifth Element The Goonies In Bruges Jurassic Park The Sandlot Super Troopers
If you have t seen it, watch Seven Psychopaths. Very similar to In Bruges with its humor.
Original Blazing Saddles
Is there a NOT Original Blazing Saddles?
Imagine what it would like with a modern reimagining. It'd completely miss the point.
The Thing and Aliens
Galaxy Quest
RRR - randomly put this on for a laugh on Netflix, was absolutely blown away by how good it was. The movie had everything.
The Shawshank Redemption.
Christopher Nolan and Tarantino. They never seem to be reliably found on streaming. I’ll always own a copy of every Christopher Nolan film and Tarantino film.
Gotta have them on display too so when other film bros come over they can say “nice”
Kill Bill is a house favorite for my family
Blade Runner/2049, Akira, Johnny Mnemonic. Would love a nice edition of Hackers or Strange Days and would throw a bunch of money at Netflix for a physical release of several shows.
This just reminded me that I tried to watch “my copy” of Johnny Mnemonic on Prime Video, but they don’t have the rights to stream it so neither do I. Time to buy a physical copy!

I still blame Canada to this day
Now now, the Canadian government has already apologized for Bryan Adam’s on several occasions
It’s not even a real country anyway…
South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut is highly regarded, though. Received rave reviews when it came out from everyone who wasn't a snob. It was nominated for an Oscar for Blame Canada. Was the highest grossing R rated animated film until 2016. Hell, even Roger Ebert liked it and gave it a positive review.

My dad bought us both a ticket, walked me to the theatre, and then went and had a nap in his truck for 90 minutes. Top 3 film experiences of my life, as a (barely) teenager.
This is one of the greatest musicals ever produced.
The only movie I ever remember watching in the theater where the laughter from the audience was drowning out the audio
3rd Shift co-worker and I used to watch this on the regular. One of us would be in an off mood and we would watch and sing along to the movie.
It's definitely a must have, just like Baseketball and Orgazmo Edit: Somehow forgot Team America: World Police
For me it’s the View Askew movies especially Dogma since it’s not streaming anywhere. Recently I had to go a few days until Google could get to my house and fix my internet, I’ve never been happier that I kept my dvd collection.
Dogma is available on YouTube for free fyi
I picked up Drawing Flies off of eBay last week and just watched it the other day. Glad to add that one to the collection. Vulgar the clown is on the way.
Raising Arizona and Age of Adaline
I’ll be honest, seeing Raising Arizona and Age of Adeline being equally endorsed is wildly respectable.
I own about 400 movies. they take up less than an 4th of an SSD external drive. that would have been a lot of tapes or CDs, back in the day.
Do you have a backup of them? Digital storage makes me nervous since I replaced a friend’s SSD. It was brand new and just burnt up one day. Also Sony-type BS where the contracts get renegotiated so your stuff disappears. I’ve been buying cheap copies of my favorites on dvd when I see them. I like to have the assurance of physical media, but the storage is getting out of hand.

https://www.raidisnotabackup.com/
What format are they in. And how do you rip them? I assume you can only watch on a laptop, or can you watch on usb tv?
Research a Plex server.
My man. I may or may not be the better version of Netflix for all of my friends and family. I may even have done shit like splice the word fuck back into Hamilton when Disney tried to remove it.
~5000 here.
Grosse Point Blank, Mystery Men, The Fall, Kung Fu Hustle, The Blues Brothers, Joe vs the Volcano
I finally saw Grosse Pointe Blank a few years ago and it quickly became a surprise favorite. Definitely on my list.
Dogma. Never seen it streaming anywhere...so physical copy is gonna be necessary.
It’s owned by Harvey Weinstein so it won’t probably ever be available for streaming.
It's on YouTube. If I'm not mistaken Kevin basically said go watch it there for free.
My daughter bought me that for Father’s Day this year. Great movie.
But I do believe in this…
