I just watched The Adventures of Baron Munchausen today. Do recommend.

Would recommend as well. It's Monty Python, but don't expect as much humor as in their other performances.

[Kadzar]

It's not really Monty Python; it's just directed by a Python and has some Python cast members.

Which reminds me: Erik the Viking.

Which is exactly what I said. It is Monty Python, it's done by their troupe, it's just not funny. :p It reminds me a lot of Time Bandits, really.

[Kadzar]

What I meant is that it's not really an official Python production: it and Erik the Viking don't feature the whole troupe, just a Python director and one or more Pythons who've come along for the ride in supporting roles.

And I should probably watch Time Bandits some time. I once started watching it late at night and fell asleep because I was so tired, and therefore only saw the very beginning of it.

It's like me and James Bond films. I always fall asleep in those and I don't know why.

[Harry Baldman]

Ooh! I recall something I want to recommend - The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert! It's got Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Terrence Stamp in drag!

Also, seconding The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. And Time Bandits. And recommending Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

My brother achieved the level of heretic in my eyes by falling asleep in the cinema.

During the first-day release of the first hobbit movie!

Still plotting his death.

In his defence, I'd probably have fallen asleep if I wasn't so confused about the alterations and embellishments.

Seconding the Edge of Tommorrow recommendation.

It's a great movie, a good SF movie with an interesting idea and it greatly uses how hateable Tom Cruise can be to its advantage.

The real problem is the second movie.

Dwarves and elves breeding? That's just dirty teachings right there.

[Orange Wizard]

Dwarves and elves breeding

Ewww.

What is halfway between a dwarf and an elf? A human?

[miauw62]

A dwelf? An arf?

[Orange Wizard]

Arf and elf and arf a dwarf.

[SalmonGod]

Or maybe... it's the origin of Alf

Somebody mentioned The Man from Earth a while back. I remembered another "talky" film, with a similar vibe of quiet poignancy. It's called Last Night(http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1094041-last_night/), and it's about people dealing with the imminent end of the world.
There's never any exposition as to why or how the world ends, you're just dropped in the midst of the last hours before the event(which is public knowledge). Ther's no heroes trying to avert fate, just regular people coming to terms with the futility of existence. It's very, very uplifting for a film infused with an aura of inescapable doom.
