Hidden gems - The Hollywood Knights, High Fidelity, Super Troopers, Adventures in Babysitting (87), The Monster Squad, Dazed and Confused, Garden State, Stir of Echoes. There's so many.

 

Documentaries usually get overlooked by people in general but there's an absurd amount of excellent one's to see - Dear Zachary, Waiting for Superman, Enron: Smartest Guys in the Room, The Invisible War, The Hunting Ground, Senna, Chasing Ice, Paradise Lost (trilogy on West Memphis Three - awesome), SOMM (and SOMM: Into the Bottle), What Happened to Aunt Diane, Jiro Dreams of Sushi and The Thin Blue Line just to name more than a few

 

Super Troopers is one of my favorite movies.

 

One of my favorite recent documentaries is Straight Outta Compton. Not everyone is going to like it because it is about gangster rap but the story is very much the American dream going from having nothing to having basically everything.

NWA is one of my favorite groups - their greatest hits album is one of my all-time favorites along with MJ.

Robin Hood: MiT is a great classic.  "This ain't exactly the Mississippi! I'm on one side, I'm on the other"

Film Fest Friday again....  Nightmare Alley -- I find Guillermo del Toro movies hit or miss.  This one really hit the mark for me.  Excellent cast, really dark period piece (which I'm into lately

I would have to agree with you, although Toby Maguire wasn't all that bad.  I think it has a lot to do with the technology of the day and Spider-Man 3 was atrocious. *** Request for a "spoilers"

I watched Sing Street after seeing this thread. I thought it was next to awful. The music was solid and the big brother had some good lines but the rest of it was insanely boring. La La Land absolutely destroys this movie. Someone above mentioned That Thing You Do - good movie.

Garden State bored me to tears.

 

But speaking of documentaries, Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey is really worth seeing. Its the story of how they found Filipino Arnel Pineda to be their next lead singer. Very impressive and entertaining story.

I can definitely see how someone can be bored by Garden State. It's one of those movies that's perfect for watching on a lazy Sunday afternoon laying on the couch. Others that come to mind for that are Lucas, Can't Buy Me Love, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, 10 Things I Hate About You, Clueless, Mean Girls, Election.

 

One of my all time favorites is Teen Wolf. Can't believe I forgot that before

Dunkirk was great. Loved it. See it at an IMAX theater if you can.

The new IT...

 

Thought it was great!

 

Had to go home and watch the original, and after seeing the new one, the original falls flat...

 

I am not one who usually like remakes, but this one is worth seeing.

 

Looking forward to part II!!

I was thinking IT: Chapter Two

 

I think the first one ended with IT: Chapter One so I just figure it makes sense that this might be the way the put it.

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

It: You’ll Float 2

 

I saw this on a website and thought boom! What a great title.
