* MOVIES *

[ⓅⓇⓈ]

With all of the access to movies these days -- cable, tv, on demand, Netflix, online, etc., etc.   -- I was thinking it'd be a good idea to ask all of EPW's community/members to post a list of their favorite(s), "must see" (or "worth watching") movies...  


I'm sure we all have free time for flicks and aren't always sure what movies to invest that free time on watching.  


So maybe you guys can post some suggestions and break your lists down into these categories (feel free to post by genre or make up your own categories):

- "Must See"  

- "Definitely Worth Watching"  

- "NOT worth watching"  


Many thanks in advance for all of your input/ideas/suggestions.  And feel free to post any reasons or comments next to each movie title.



P.S.  Think "my personal preference(s)" when posting... Thanks!

Whenever someone tells me to list my favourites, I go blank :|

The one movie that I remember is "Now you see me" and I hope it has a sequel.

[Feone]

Cloud Atlas was the most memorable movie I've watched recently. (The only really memorable one too, I guess.)

All the recent superhero movies are pretty decent, fancy eye candy pretty much. Captain America, Avengers, Iron Man, Thor etc. Not much in the way of story though. The Dark Knight movies are also pretty good. Bit better on the story imo.
With the exception of Thor: The Dark World, I'd rate that one as not worth watching. The story is so bad even all the shiny effects can't fix that one.


As for not quite as recent movies there's so many it'd work better if this thread was divided by genres.

Find myself just sitting here, looking at everyone's lists, going:
'seen it'
'seen it'
'seen it'
'seen it'
'seen it'
'seen it'
'seen it'
'seen it'

And now I feel conflicted as to whether having seen that many movies was a productive use of my time.

Anyway, this list is pro:

All awesome recommendations and basically a bucket list for movies. Not much more I would add to my own list, except maybe a few from Apawolla's list. However, I have never been a horror fan. I've never really enjoyed scaring myself. Some people do it for the thrill and adrenalin kick I guess, but I'd rather skydive or ride rollercoasters than have trouble sleeping at night.

must see?

Should totes add Howl's Moving Castle to your already awesome list. Hate to jump on the anime bandwagon, but pretty much anything from Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki is worth seeing.

And Disney. All of Disney. Everything. Including all of Pixar. Not ashamed to say I cried in Toy Story 3.

Best recent movie I have seen? Pitch Perfect. Music is my passion, as well as singing, even though I am average at it. I would give anything for a better voice. But I mean real music, using your voice as an instrument, it is so powerful. Also men singing bass is a panty dropper. The start of Right Round from the Treblemakers is eargasmic and even more amazing being all a cappella.
