Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the few superhero movies I enjoyed... I would never buy it on DVD, though.

What is your requirement for buying a movie?

If I know I'll watch it again. Some movies, for whatever reason, just don't make me want to watch them again even if I thought they were great (e.g. The Innocents).

The Last Broadcast (1998)
 

Pretty solid mockumentary that predates The Blair Witch Project. It's basically a glorified episode of Dateline, but it's still interesting, suspenseful, and creepy. Recommended if you like investigation shows like Dateline.

6/10

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies


A+

Love this movie!! I just caught it at the theater today. Beautiful scenery, great battles, awesome acting, nicely added humor, and so on. I hated to see the trilogy end; same way I felt about LOTR. I love Peter Jackson and I hope he continues to make movies that I truly enjoy.

I would have preferred the book as 2 movies and not 3. 1 seems like it would be way too jam-packed, and 3 seems too spread out.

I respect your preference. I just don't understand it I guess. Probably because I'm a collector and because if i like a movie odds are I'll watch it again

I don't understand it either, to be honest. I do want to buy The Innocents on DVD now, btw.

Me either. In fact, I doubt I'll ever watch it again (unless friends are).

I think the best super hero films I've ever seen are:

Spiderman II (2004)
Superman (1978)
X-Men Days of Future Past (2014)
X-Men (2000)

Others have been entertaining, but I thought those were exceptional. Have you seen any of these? What did you think?

When you can rent a film online, or at the library (yes, there's tons of great films for free), Youtube has tons, Netflixs, etc, or at the DVD stores, I don't see the point in putting much of my money into video/DVDs. Got to save for a rainy day, retirement, or give to save lives. Plus, I don't rewatch a lot of films either, though. I have a large music library, but I do listen and use them quite a bit (radio show).

Why do you guys buy so many films?

To jump in on the superhero conversation, my favorite is The Avengers. I watch it over and over.

And, I have the same requirement as horcrux when buying movies. If I know I'll watch it again, I'll buy it. Every once in a while, I'll go through my DVDs, and, if there are any that don't interest me anymore, I'll take them to 2nd & Charles.

The Guest (2014)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps542e826d.jpg

By far, this is the best one from Adam Wingard, the maker of You're Next and few V/H/S segments. The lead actor on the title role (Dan Stevens) got a good look & promising talent that can launch him a bright careen in Hollywood in coming days; even some part of the British media already starts to speculating about their next choice for 007!

It must just be because I collect them

I wouldn't waste my money on a movie I'd never watch again.

Anyway, the only superhero movies I like are Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight, and Guardians of the Galaxy. I hated The Avengers.

I saw this for my birthday back in June. I really enjoyed it.

Why'd you hate Avengers

It was just another bland superhero movie to me.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007)
 

Mockumentary about a serial killer who films the abduction, torture, and murder of his victims.

Pretty fucked up stuff they showed... the movie itself was pretty interesting, scary, and creepy. Recommended if you can handle pretty gruesome and dark types of movies.

7/10

A LONELY PLACE TO DIE
 

a kidnap hunam trafficing tale set in the scottish highlands, well paced, full of tension with good performances 8/10

AMERICAN MUSCLE
 

a tale of revenge between 2 brothers after one goes to jail for 10 years. pretty much non stop beating,shooting, slashing and killing for 90 minutes 7/10

The Conjuring.
Not bad.

The Collection (2012)
Second viewing. Still a pretty good movie. I would love more sequels.

Sounds like my kinda movie. I'll have to check it out.

Oh ya, I forgot about the Avengers. I really liked it. I've seen it about 3 times, lots of fun.

The Others is more of a drama, & honestly, I think it's more enjoyable for adults & parents. I liked it a little better than The Innocents, actually, had a little more heart to grab on to.

So is The Babadook, but that was actually interesting.

Watching Troll Hunter....again ::wink::

Why was my post deleted?

What post?

My post about The Den... or did I post it somewhere else?

Didnt you post that in the Found Footage tournament thread?

No, it was my thoughts about it. I might have changed the window without posting?

Maybe. Is it any good? I have it in my Netflix queue but haven't gotten around to watching it

I thought it was really intense and scary. I'm definitely buying it on DVD. 9/10

Well if you're buying it then at least i know it's rewatchable ::big grin::

I'll check it out

ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS 2001


Pretty goofy stuff but lots of fun. On their way to Paris, Elvira and her maid spend the night in a castle filled to the brim with horror galore!

The Last Days On Mars (2013)
Starts out alright but goes downhill fast.
Too bad. Couple of known actors, cool scenery/locations, but the story was just stupid and unoriginal.

Come Back To Me, 2014. 8/10.

How coincidence! I just saw it last night::smile::

Come Back to Me (2014)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps45d099e0.jpg

Based on a 2009 novel The Resurrectionist by Wrath James White, though a major twisted key element in this 'Super psycho' flick may sound as silly as any good-old 80s horror movie but still I thought it was decently entertaining. Even loved that final twist at the very end!

Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps042a0845.jpg

Always been fond of movies featuring Time loop concept. Liked it too but didn't completely satisfied with the ending here. Probably the way they destroyed The Omega kinda reminded me of Pacific Rim finale which I liked too but this similarity bugged me somehow!
Anyway, here's a list on wikipedia about films featuring time loops . Surprised to see that it didn't include 1945 horror anthology Dead of Night, which even inspired Fred Hoyle's theory of Steady State model of the universe, developed in 1948.

I'd second that. Liked it too, one of the good FF flicks that came out lately.
