funny that it is that i'd say this


casino
goodfellas

i mean i know they were largely dramatized, but still the fact that aside from name changes, and dramatic renditions, all that was based on 90% facts, is crazy


also i'd have to say


saving private ryan
band of brothers
the pacific
tora tora tora


also, how about the series, generation kill


anyone seen that? a series about marines that were in afghanistan etc., written by how it happened. and the marines who were there actually played their own characters, fucking insane shit

I also forgot about Schindler's List.  That movie is among some of the most fucked up, and sadly didn't have to be too made-up.

Synecdoche, New York is the Kaufman movie that really blows my mind (when I can get my mind around it), although most of his movies are entertaining in an intellectual way.

Good one.

Another one along the same lines is "Being John Malkovich." And I'll second (third?) the Waking Life recommendation.

Also, in terms of war movies (like the guy above suggested), I think it's hard to beat Full Metal Jacket.

I was going to mention that one but I'm still not sure I get it.  I've only seen it twice though and I was pretty stoned if I recall correctly.

No movie could ever do justice of 1984.

Best book I've ever read.

The only movie I can think of that may hold a candle or even be better then the book, is Lord of the Rings.

no one ever mentions My Dinner With Andre on these boards.. that is a shame.



Quote:

The film depicts a conversation between Gregory and Shawn (apparently playing themselves) in a chic restaurant in New York City. Based mostly on conversation, the film's dialog covers such things as experimental theatre, the nature of theatre, and the nature of life. The dialogue contrasts Shawn's modest, down-to-earth humanism with Gregory's extravagant spiritual experiences.

don't get me wrong, i'm impressed by tolkein, but i can think of a few authors who have stuff that, to me personally, left my mind completely blown. william gibson, philip k dick, iain m banks. and then you have guys like plato, descarte etc. that's not even including comics, which has a highly impressive list of writers like grant morrison, warren *fucking* ellis and so on (and of course alan moore).

i can't leave out my favorite movie ever. nothing like the novel, but a true piece of sci fi noir. syd mead's crowning achievement as far as conceptual design goes. cyber-art-deco? yes please.



and they've just announced that prequel/sequels are in the works. not from ridley scott, but i'm optimistic.

http://sciencefictionworld.com/films/science-fiction-films/734-blade-runner-sequels-and-prequels-happening.html

and if anyone hasn't read this, do it. line for line adaptation of the novel in comic form.

Where's the love for Kubrik??  That guy is always blowing my mind.

2001:  A Space Odyssey is a movie that will make you think for weeks or months or forever. 

Full Metal Jacket has been mentioned.

A Clockwork Orange kind of changed society. 

Otherwise the movie Network is really one of my all-time favorites.  Genius work.

Visioneers is a little movie that forever changed the way I look at butter.  Really a cool movie.

What else?

Instinct inspired me to read the book on which it is based so that one really kind of opened my eyes to a new worldview.  The book is "Ishmael".  The movie is very loosely based on it.

I know there are more but I can't think of them now.  Maybe I'll come back.  Anyway, nice thread.  There are some movies mentioned that I haven't seen so now I have movies to watch!
