Movies to watch during lockdown?

[Col. Bleep]

One for your wife - Casablanca

That's one for everybody...one of the all-time great movies.

I'm going back even further the rest of the week...
starting with one of the greatest comedies ever.
Duck Soup...the Marx Brothers classic from1933.

Followed by more recent but still old gems:
Blazing Saddles
Wayne's World (the first one with Tia Carrere in that red dress)
and Borat.

Glory has been one of my favorite movies since it's come out. My other favorites have changed, but it's always stayed with me. Love that movie.

Some others that I personally enjoy:
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Roadhouse
Point Break (original)
True Romance

I can watch all of them on loop.

Separately, my guilty pleasure of late 90s/early 00s romcoms:
10 Things I Hate About You
Can't Hardly Wait
She's All That

It doesn't get. Much better than.denzel and Morgan Freeman in the same movie.

 

[OrOrange44]

2001 A Space Odyssey
Metropolis
Apocalypse Now
The Last Wave
The Last Samurai
A Clockwork Orange
Gettysburg
The Wizard of Oz
The Great Escape

 

[Orijinal]

2 great "guy" movies starring Robert De Niro if you haven't seen them. I must have watched these 15 x each:

The Score
Ronin
Both of these are heist movies and I believe can be found on Amazon/Netflix

Another good "guy" movie about the war on the Mexican drug trade: Sicario

Of course you have the staple standbys like Remember the Titans, Terminator 2, and Shawshank Redemption

Something fun to watch with your wife: Pitch Perfect and Mean Girls

I watched Big Time Adolescence today. Not the greatest movie and Pete Davidson is a douche but I found it entertaining, mainly because it was filmed in the area. Scenes at the Palace Theater, Shiftys, and at Sylvan Beach.

 

[CuseTroop]

12 Monkeys (Brad Pitt film)
12 Monkeys (SyFy series)

I miss Cali :/

For a variety of reasons, from a variety of genres, here is my playlist suggestions while being socially distant over the

Leon the Professional - amazing performances
The Thin Man - B&W old school comedy mystery
Fantastic Mr Fox - love Wes Anderson
They Live - great B sci-fi movie
Monsoon Wedding - Stunning
Firefly series, then Serenity - Joss Whedon rules!
Shaun of the Dead - Edgar Wright rules!
Or any other movie directed by Edgar Wright
The Sting - Best big con movie ever
Grandma’s Boy - guilty pleasure

 

[Zelda Zonk]

One of the best movies of the last decade that is so incredibly rewatchable is Whiplash. Some of the best acting in the 21st Century. A modern classic.

Have you seen the original? By the same director?

 

[Zelda Zonk]

I'll probably re-watch any of a number of films i've already seen umpteen times:
To Catch a Thief
Lost In Translation
Midnight in Paris
The Royal Tenenbaums
American Hustle
Swimming Pool
The Good Thief

 

[UnderHisOwnPower]

Watching Zombieland now, worth the time.
The 2 Creed movies
Ford vs Ferrari
1917

Worked on this in amazing film in Malaysia

Revenge of the Pontianak | Netflix

Did a couple days on dolly for these series

My Dead Ex

My Dead Ex is your classic, will-they-won't-they romance story. Charley is living your typical teenage girl's life. Ben isn't living at all. But a little thing like death can't stop these two teens from falling in love. Or maybe it can.

Zac & Mia

Zac Meier (Kian Lawley) has maintained his post as the only teen patient undergoing treatment in the hospital’s oncology ward; that is, until Mia Phillips (Anne Winters), high school bombshell, is plucked from the popular crowd and admitted to the hospital to receive chemotherapy for a cancerous...

Yes and many more Syracuse area shot films are coming out this year, (I hope)

Love Slim Pickens in that movie - "Hee Haw", ride 'em cowboy.

No fighting in the war room!

Tombstone

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Incredibly inappropriate.

Eerily accurate (other than the you die in 72 hours thing). But many of the other things are very similar to what’s happening right now, even with Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN talking about the virus, social distancing, etc.

[Cusester]

Brother Where Art Thou
Castaway
The Bourne trilogy
Young Frankenstein
Chinatown

Castaway
The Bourne trilogy
Young Frankenstein

Groundhog Day

Oh Brother Where Art Thou is way underrated

[MGDCuse]

Are you saying he was good? I find the comedian to serious actor transition fascinating. Robin Williams, numerous times, but Jim Carey in the Truman Show and Will Ferrell in Stranger than Fiction were really good, IMO.

Jim Carey's serious role in The Majestic was even better. Check it out if you haven't seen it already.

Best movie about life, death, tragedy and redemption in Central New York is Brother's Keeper (1992)

Brother's Keeper | Rotten Tomatoes

Filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky directed this documentary about a death in upstate New York in 1990. The eldest of a family of four brothers, William Ward, was found dead in his home, and his brother Delbert was accused of suffocating him. The ensuing trial leads to tensions within...

Quite possibly the most depressing movie I've ever seen, and I've seen some doozy's.
