Production Companies that turn a film on, or off for you?
 

A lot of people have actors, directors, hell even composers, that attract them to a movie. I was just curious to know if any of you guys had a particular production company that will peak your interest. What are some production companies you really like, or some you really hate?

For me, I will be more interested in a film that's produced by Miramax. They've made a lot of solid films. There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, Gone Baby Gone, The Aviator, Infernal Affairs, Kill Bill vol 1 & 2, City of God, Gangs of New York, Amelie, Apocalypse Now Redux, Rounders, Jackie Brown, Good Will Hunting, Pulp Fiction.

The only one I can think of that I really don't like is Revolution Studios.

I never pay any attention to the production company.

I barely care who directs, let alone the Production company. :) It might be interesting to see if people do, though and why.

Re: Production Companies that turn a film on, or off for you?
 

Never. I have really only started paying attention to the director in the last three years. I will say I could give a damn about what people are involved in producing a movie anymore. It just seems like they throw money at people like Spielberg and Bruckheimer so they can use their name in marketing.

I used to care a great deal about what actors were involved in a film and nothing else. Now it is almost all about the director and word of mouth for me.

I love everything that The Aslyum puts out.

I don't, but The Asylum is a good example. :up:

Give me some examples?

Incidentally I have noticed a lot of the independent recos I get from here and podcasts seem to be from Magnolia.

I need to work on my sarcasm.

And, of course, one of the best scene in film history.

It's stuff like this that make it worth it, for me. This is also the film that made sharks relevant again, which is kind of sad.

Yeah, it's difficult on the net, isn't it? I should've know, though.

Sorry, I would have got it if I had known the company. Yeah, I am always like, damn forgot the emoticon.

Hey, you never know, some people love those corny C-Movies. They can be fun popcorn flicks.

Re: Production Companies that turn a film on, or off for you?
 

Yeah, like me. :D

I always read the opening credits, or closing credits for newer films, as they come at the end of the movie. I try to pay attention to production studios, but haven't got who is who figured out yet. So I try to notice the director and script writer. On really old films I can recognize many names for all sorts of stuff, but on newer films,it's just the director I notice.
