Cole's 40 Favorite Mainstream Movies.
 

Keep in mind I am still a very big noob when it comes to watching and rating movies, so this list will probably be outdated in a couple months. I just want to post it so I can look back on it once I start to get deeper into films. It'll be filled with 10s/00s/90s movies, because those are the ones ive watched the most of.

This will start soon, I'm not sure if I can tonight. I will have some HMs before I do the list though.

NOTE: I put in a disclaimer in the title, so no one can dog me for not putting enough foreign films.

Proceed Young Padawan.

Just put the movies you want, f*ck everybody's opinion! You already went out your way with the title, I'm sure nobody is in doubt that this isn't a foreign arthouse list. :p

Anyways, looking forward to this! :up:

Re: Cole's 40 Favorite Mainstream Movies.
 

If you don't make an arthouse favourite films after this...

... it's alright.

Proceed with this one.

Better to have a list that reflects you rather then what you think you should like to look smart.

Looking forward to it! :up:

Prisoners (2013)
RT: 82%
IMDB: 8.1/10
Ebert: 2.5/4

Re: Cole's 40 Favorite Mainstream Movies.
 

I love Prisoners, saw it in theaters and was blown away by it. I actually prefer it over Gone Girl (which I thought was really good too) though many seem to prefer Gone Girl.

Excellent start!

I loved Prisoners, very much my type of movie.

Re: Cole's 40 Favorite Mainstream Movies.
 

Prisoners will be making its appearance in my own Top 100 soon. Excellent film.

Blazing Saddles (1974)
RT: 90%
IMDB: 7.8/10
Ebert: 4/4

Re: Cole's 40 Favorite Mainstream Movies.
 

I thought Prisoners was an above average flick. Good performances and excellent cinematography. It suffers from my favorite film criticism, third act problems.

I'm one of those people! :p. But I loved both movies.
Yeah the movie is so good and kept me at the edge of my seat. I think that Villeneuve nailed this.
Awesome! Glad to see it's liked around here, one of the bigger surprises for me. This was one of the first movies I watched after decided to get into movies.

Darn, what didn't you like about it? The ambiguous ending, or Jackman's actions?

Re: Cole's 40 Favorite Mainstream Movies.
 

So far, I only love Blazzing Saddles from your list. And it's way too low. :D

Looking forward to this.

Re: Cole's 40 Favorite Mainstream Movies.
 

Just want to clear this up, I will have movies before the 80s on the list. The only reason I put that it would be "filled with movies 90s/00s/10s on" is because that's what the list mostly consists of, but not that it only consists of.

Jackman's actions. I was actually fine with the very last scene.

I can definitely see where people are coming from with that, but I just have to disagree. Whatever gets my child back, I will do.

Re: Cole's 40 Favorite Mainstream Movies.
 

Ok. On to the list!
