I'll be the first person to admit that I can't sit through a movie. I've tried watching any number of top box office, 99 percent viewer rating, top notch, big name movies that I've ever been made aware of, and each time I am bored to tears through lack of mental stimulation. I'd honestly prefer to sit quietly with a book, no matter how badly written it may be. So, I decided to make a list of movies I was actually able to tolerate, and would be willing to watch again. I'll be sure to not put in any spoilers beyond maybe what is mentioned by a Netflix summary. Feel free to share your own favourite movies. The Double (2011) — I feel the need to start with this one, mostly because I watched it for the first time yesterday, and it is absolutely everything I adore in a movie. Sadly, it isn't really as common a theme as I'd like it to be. This movie, I could put on multiple times and watch it through repeatedly. It's a standard "Hired to Hunt Yourself" movie. A guy retired from his job in the FBI, gets called back in to hunt down a soviet assassin. Naturally, you find out very early on in the film that it isn't actually as easy as it may seem. Especially where double agents are concerned. The Avengers (2012) — For many people, I'm going to assume this is a given. Loki is by far one of the most in depth villains I've ever seen in a movie, especially in the so far released Marvel movies. He just has so many aspects to his personality, I fall in love each time he's on screen. Honestly, I was having a hard time picking which Avengers movie I wanted to put here. I loved Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America all equally. I haven't been able to locate The Hulk yet, no libraries around here seem to have it. Robocop (2014) — Netflix has a tendency to wave original movies and cult classics in my face whenever I log on, so this was actually something I wanted to see as an original. Up until I was informed of how awfully made the original was. So I decided it would be best to just stick with the new movie. I was not disappointed in the least. It never ceases to amaze me, though, how the United States is portrayed as wanting to see justice, and is totally alright with oppressing other countries, but doesn't actually want the same measures taken at home. Robocop was the government solution to a purely robotic law enforcement system. They thought it would be better to give a human being a robotic body. And then fling him with minimal preparation into the world. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) — Now, there are so many excellent movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger in them, I was hard pressed to pick just one. I enjoyed all the Terminator movies, but I would have to say Judgment Day was my top pick, if only for the general awkward-ness between a young John Connor and the T-800. And it's a miracle! I actually put something on this list that came out more than 20 years ago. So those are my top 4 movies. I'd put more, but this post is getting long enough as it is, and I know people don't like excessive images in threads. Any thoughts, feelings, opinions, share them below.
As long as somebody's getting killed or its a lot of action, I'll watch the movie. If there isn't an explosion or a killing 10 minutes into the movie, most likely I'll fall asleep :|
I think the first matrix is one film in itself, the other two are as one, I love the first & last one the most
Hector and the Search for Happiness was a good newer movie that I haven't heard many people talking about. Nothing on the scale of The Hunger Games, Fight Club, or The Matrix, but I enjoyed it. I also get tired of the boom wow fancy special effects without a story line to keep me interested ?
Matrix, batman begins, dark knight, dark knight rises, avengers, all iron man movies, gone girl, the imitation game. And so many more.
