mrbasehart's Film Challenge! - COMPLETE

[mrbasehart]

You asked us for lists of movies.  You said you'd watch them and report back.  Where's the watching and the reporting, hmmm? And don't start giving us feeble excuses, like "looking for work" or "getting an education" your commitment to these fan-forum based projects comes FIRST.  Let me show you how a real man does it.

People, give me recommendations on movies to watch (that I haven't seen) and I'll watch them and report back on them.  Unlike some people whose pants are on fire right now.  It can be any genre, language, and length.  I'll use every means to track it down and watch it.  If you don't know what I've seen, here's my list:

Complete bollocks rapture schlock, have fun. 

[Doctor Who?]

Sorry money got tight and I had to cancel Netflix so I haven't been about to get out the movies.  I have been looking for them at the Library and Redbox but no dice. I'm sorry.

[Tripe]

Man your library sucks then, my local libraries are great (SJP, you can quote that on promotional literature )

Pah! No excuses!

[Doctor Who?]

Maybe I will track down the posters and review the movies based solely on their posters.

[Pak-Man]

This is a trap. There ARE no movies you haven't seen. ;^)

Seriously, though, I see you don't have the Incredible Hulk listed. That one's really good. I also don't see Shaolin Soccer on there. Sakigake!! Kuromati Kôkô: The Movie is actually really good, if a little odd, and the official DVD has pretty good Subtitles, if I recall. Cowboy Bebop rocks pretty hard as anime movies go. I'm seeing a pretty distinct lack of Ernest movies in there too. :^)

I own The Incredible Hulk on Blu-Ray, but haven't gotten around to it.  I have seen Shaolin Soccer, but as per imdb's rules it's the native title that's listed, it's called Siu lam juk kau.   I'm pretty sure I've seen most of the Ernest movies, but it was so long ago that they blur into one, so I can only be sure about a couple of them.

Kinda what I was thinking....

I was gonna recommend Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, but you've seen them (and loved them, awesome).  I'll have to get creative here.

[mrbasehart]

The reason why I've put out a call to people on the board is that I like having agendas.  The last one I had was a few months ago, and that was to remove any blank pages from my Total Film Guide.  That wasn't particularly difficult, but I do like the process of having to track down movies and having another reason besides just having to watch them.

[spaceforarent]

I don't see Six String Samurai on there, so I recommend that. If you don't try to take it seriously, it's a ton of fun.

In a post-apocalyptic world where the Russians have taken over a nuked USA and Elvis is king of Lost Vegas, "Six-String Samurai" chronicles the tale of Buddy, a hero who's a '50s rocker and wandering warrior rolled into one, too-cool package. Armed with his six-string in one hand and his sword in the other, Buddy is on his way to Vegas to succeed Elvis as King. Along the way, he saves an orphan who decides to play tag-along to his rescuer. What follows is the road trip from hell.

Also, Bob Roberts. Written, directed, and starring Tim Robbins as a conservative folk musician and politician. There's many a reference to Bob Dylan. Like this:

Haven't seen it in a long time, but I remember liking it.

[tgeorgic]

rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead.  you've probably seen it but i dont see it on the list.  if you havent then you should.
