If you're into action movies I would suggest Troll Hunter. It's a movie set in Norway about some university students who end up finding a government agent who hunts trolls for a living. It's available on Netflix last I checked. Although if you can't stand subtitles I wouldn't bother

I would recommend this one as well. Isn't nearly as B-movie as it sounds.

Not the best movie IMO.

Not saying it's the best, but it's much better than it sounds. Worth a view if you're bored.

What I mean is: "I did not like it. I think it is a bad movie." I've friends who enjoyed it, so it's prolly just not my cup of tea.

Troll Hunter was pretty cool, especially since it's like, the only move with that approach to that particular subject I've ever seen.

Anyways, just finished watching The Raid 2. Pretty damn good, they basically took the first one and upped it to 11. It's even got a plot to speak of now! Also some rather iconic scenes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

One of my favurite bits is the audio of the bat clinking on various things, from the floor to poor mooks skulls, that god damn sound.

I'd like the recommend The Raid and it's sequel. Hyper violent Indonesian police-drama action films, very suspenseful and amazing fight choreography. The English dub I saw was pretty good.

I didn't like it (The Raid 2), but oh well. I guess if one likes silly martial arts films it would appeal.
Man, there have been some interesting suggestions in this thread over the past couple of pages. I definitely need to check some of these out. Oh, and, Apocalypse Now has to be one of my favourite films. It was amazing to watch.
I couldn't get through the book, though. I think I got over halfway and gave up, it was just... too obtuse in its wording.

I think I already suggested my favourite films that haven't been suggested already.

Huh; I might be the only person I know who actually prefers the extended edition of Apocalypse Now. Thought the additions and slower pacing added to it very well. It is a war movie, but much more of an Odyssey than an action flick.


On a lighter note: Turtles Forever. Animated TMNT movie with multiple teams of turtles from different incarnations of the series (mostly the modern 'cool' turtles and the goofy 80s guys). It... it kicks so much ass. I probably won't even go to see the new one this weekend; I'll just re-watch this instead =D

Just found the 1313 movies plumbing the depths of Netflix somewhere. I don't know just what the hell it was that I watched, but it probably would have made more sense if I hadn't been sober.

I do warn you... if you remember the 1987 Ninja Turtles very well and LIKED the 1987 Ninja Turtles... It will disappoint you in their depiction.

Lets just say, I have a suspicion that the people who made the movie actually hate the 1987 Ninja Turtles... but had to do a tribute anyway.

Well, I've only seen the extended edition, myself.
The scene in question certainly didn't detract from the film in my opinion, though; I thought it was great.

Movies recently consumed:

Snowpiercer- it's as if a side scrolling beat-em-up game from the 90s was made into a movie.

Guardians of the Galaxy- surprisingly good, given the less mainstream property used. Lots of explosions

[Cthulufaic]

Singham.  A while ago my family watched it together because we were bored and wanted to do something, so we just watched it on Netflix.  and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD WAS IT AMAZING.
It's a Bollywood movie about a badass cop in an Indian village fighting against corruption and injustice.  One of the most memorable movies I've ever seen.

I hear the sequel is pretty meh though :/

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I will say that Rise of the Planet of the Apes was surprisingly good. It's not a deep philosophical movie or anything (though it does have themes on the nature of bigotry and cross-cultural misunderstanding), but it was an acceptably decent movie, and I was expecting it to be terrible.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Blade runner was pretty good

Blade runner was pretty good

What a coincidence, watching it right now.
