Movie thread 2016

[iris lily]

If there is a movie thread on this website, I havent seen it.

You all need to stop whatever pointless thing you are doing and get to a theater to see Manchester by the Sea, with Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams. It is a deeply moving family drama that is beautifully acted and directed. As a film buff  said on my local chat board, some of the scenes are like watching Japanses torture porn, they are so draining and realistic.

The other completely excellent film I saw last week is Moonlight, about a black kid growing up in a drug infested area of Miami. It is an all African-American cast with tour de force acting from eveyone and perfect direction in a minimalistic  production.

Being old and all, DH and I got in for $5 each in the discount show in th.e afternoon. And is is at a really NICE theater in town, The Chase Cinemas, for anyone who knows St. Louis.

Remember your internet rules.  I believe this falls under Rule 34.

Or rule 37.

I think this thread is a great idea.  I probably see only one movie a year (films just aren't my thing), so when I go, I want it to be a good one. I'm not big into movies that are depressing or too much like real life-- give me a good escapist or adventure flick!

Not to be smart assed, but you need to avoid the teo films I recommended, them.

Yeah, I figured, but maybe somebody else will suggest the one movie that I should see this year (and I have less than a month to see it, I guess!)

Manchester by the Sea sounds like something I would like.  I really appreciate the nuances in scenes that dig into excruciatingly emotional moments.  Also, I do like Casey Affleck in everything I've seen him (especially The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford).  Imo, he's much better than Ben.

I have a few in my queue that I'll be watching this week that might be interesting (Anomalisa - directed and I believe written by Charlie Kaufman and Straight Outta Compton).  I tend to stay away from most blockbusters except for if they're from a director that I wouldn't mind watching (such as Michael Bay.. lol j/k).

Just thought I'd say pshhHH, paying for a movie?!?  I'm buildin' my stache here; I wait until it's at the library and rent it there for free.  However, don't get me wrong, I do understand the appeal of watching in theaters - I just have not gone in years.

Anyhow, thanks for the thread idea.  I'll post in with thoughts and am already looking forward to the recommendations provided.

I love Casey Afleck's Jesse James film. ANomalsa and Strat Outta Compth will be dvd viewings for me, although I am not now sure about Anomalisa since it does not appear to be endong up on Best of the year lists.
