Movie Recommendation Station

[hilariousandco]

Sandler has, or at least used to have, a deal with Sony Pictures that basically permitted him to make any movie he wants with very little studio interference. Ever since then, the "quality" of his work has gone down.

I still love a bunch of Sandler's older comedies. I even enjoyed Grown Ups for the most part. But Jack & Jill and Grown Ups 2? Those were absolutely unwatchable pieces of shit.

Agreed on Sandler. Little Nicky, Happy Gilmore, Waterboy; all great films. Now he just churns out shit.

I loved pretty much all the films he did in the early 90s and quite a few from the early 2000s, but pretty much his last ten films have all been terrible.

[Cryptopher]

Yeah, This is 40 wasn't all that great. It's definitely not a comedy, either. More of a drama... Some of the same feel as Knocked Up, but less funny and less poignant, in my opinion.

Deffo felt more of a drama. Had none of the charm of Knocked Up. Plus Apatow's films are really long and can get tedious easily. Funny People, uggh.

Adam Sandler y u no make funny movies anymore? 

Lol. Sandler was on fire back in the late 90s/early 2000s but just absolute crap now. His films keep making hundreds of millions though. It's crazy.

Yeah isn't he officially the number one overpaid actor in Hollywood? He must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Thought it was funny when he was nominated for loads of categories in the razzies for Jack & Jill -  worst male/female actor etc. I see Grown Ups 2 has been nominated for a load as well.

Kevin James, man, what a Mall Cop.

How does Sandler keep getting such high paid work?

Aye they were good films, especially to watch when growing up.

Click was pretty good, quite thought provoking at times which is not something that I would have usually associated with a Sandler film. Only watched it a few years ago mind, may not have appreciated some of the moments as much had I have watched it when it first came out.

Forgot about Click! I sobbed at Click and I don't care who knows it!

Not gonna lie, Click chokes me up everytime haha.

Sandler gave a pretty decent performance in Reign Over Me but it's not really a comedy but a drama. Film snobs tend to rave over Punch Drunk Love because Paul Thomas Anderson directed it, but I thought it was shit.

Yeah man, I got a load of feels coming through all at once during that film.

Which reminds me of another film that brought through thought-provoking feels - The Butterfly Effect. I only saw that what, three years ago? Would recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it before.

Feels haha. I haven't felt feels from a film in a while. The Butterfly Effect is pretty underrated but people just slag it off cos Ashton Kutcher is in it. I haven't seen the other two sequels but they're meant to be pretty shit, but then again that's probably coming from the same people who slagged off the first one  .

Yeah, I wasn't surprised when I saw the first as it had received such praise from folk, but I never watched the others. Are they link to the first?

I haven't seen a great deal of films, but I never seem to make enough time to watch them between other pursuits.

Nah they're not. I've seen them all and the two sequels are just unrelated shitty straight to dvd crap. Similar situation to the Cruel Intentions sequels. I liked the first and the follow ups just cash in on the name.

Nothing to feel ashamed of! I thought Click was a lot of fun myself. And yes, it made me crazy sad at times.

I haven't seen Reign Over Me but, like you, I wasn't a huge fan of Punch Drunk Love. I understand the nerd love for Paul Thomas Anderson, but I find it tough to really get into his films. Funny enough, my favorite of his is Magnolia, but I wouldn't call it an amazingly great film.

I agree. There Will Be Blood has great performances / cinematography but it's just so tedious. Magnolia is solid, but not a classic or anything. Tom Cruise is hilarious in it though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnIJxcqSKgY

Exactly. I felt like Boogie Nights was overly long in getting its point across. There comes a point where what unfolds onscreen is just self-indulging for the director... When that happens, especially over multiple films (like There Will Be Blood) and no matter if the performances are solid, I feel like the director lacks at least a little respect for his audience.

But that's just me.

Yeah, you need to find a balance between artistic vision and great storytelling. I need to be entertained by a film, not bored into despair by ostentatious visual wankery. Film snobs rave about Terrance Malick but I hate his stuff. The Tree of Life bored me to depression.

Malick's a mixed bag for me. I'm alright with Badlands and Days of Heaven. Didn't like Tree of Life much.

I absolutely hated The Thin Red Line the first time I saw it. I caught it on TV at 3am a few years later and couldn't keep my eyes off of it. Call me stupid, but my opinion on the film has completely changed since then. It's now probably in my top 20. I do need to be in the right mood for it, though.

Haven't seen Badlands or Days of Heaven but The Thin Red Line killed me, but haven't seen it in years. Apparently the original version was like five hours long and loads of big name actors parts were completely cut out of it including Gary Oldman.

[Cryptopher]

I need more comedies. I mean actual comedy, not just the usual hollywood formula of humor.

BioDome and Supertroopers are my two favorite comedies.

BioDome is one of my favs too! I actually bumped into Pauly Shore once and he looked at me funny when I told him that BioDome was the shit.

Have you seen Baseketball? It's another favorite around my parts!

Baseketball, man, not seen that film in ages!

Two Nolan films that I enjoyed were: The Prestige and Memento. Llllllennnyy!

I would actually love to see the original 5.5 hour cut. But I'm crazy...

Meryl Streep，she is not beautiful，but her performing is brilliant. i prefer her The Bridges of Madison County and The Devil Wears Prada.

She's great in The Iron Lady. And what do her looks have to do with anything, but I'd say she's quite attractive.

[Frost000]

You know who's "old" and attractive?

Helen Mirren.

Yummy...
