The Personal Recommendation Hall of Fame

That was something I've always loved about the truly older Disney films. That mix of light hardheartedness and darkness with equal dedication.
When I was looking for movies for you I was seriously considering Pinocchio for that reason.

Disney's pretty notorious for killing off the protagonist's parents in their animated movies, though other studios also do it as an easy way to get audience sympathy. It's one of the reasons why my mom hates these kinds of films.

I dunno dude, the Jaws ending is the only ending I can think of where it's so badass, I legitimately get goosebumps thinking about it.




Also love this scene with the random shooting star

My wife was saddened by that scene, but really liked the more gentile beginning of the movie. I was impressed with how Bambi represented itself as pro animal, which I liked and that reminds me of a film that I might nominated one day in an HoF.

That would be cool, I need to see these classics. I think I seen Pinocchio at the drive in when I was a little kid in pajamas. But then again and can't image my dad agreeing to watch that

It's one of the great movie lines too!

Just to let you know @ TUS & #brownies, I'm watching Strange Days tonight, if ya'll wanna watch 'together' tonight's the night.

I'll be asleep in a while so I think I'll watch it by myself at a later date.

Myself I really liked that film. Especially one scene that gives me the goosebumps (not the very last big scene). But the one where the diver is descending down to the depths of the ocean into pitch darkness and feels a million miles away, as he tries to desperately tap out a last message to his love. That touches me on so many different levels. Maybe because I use to freedive a lot and when you're deep under the ocean's surface there's a feeling of complete isolation and separation from the human world. I haven't even seen that movie in many years, but it's one of the few movie scenes that I think about from time to time.

It's cool that it didn't work for you.

Ha, I love your opening sentence! I've not seen Galaxy Quest but I've heard about it from GBgoodies she loves it (are we sure she didn't secretly join)...True enough I'm a big fan of Star Trek, well not the latest reboots.

That has got to be the best description about Jaws that I've read. I think a film's scariness is relative to one's exposure to other horror/thriller films. I'm guessing you've seen a lot of them? When I first seen Jaws it was first run at the movie theater, I went with my parents. I was so scared by the movie, that when walked across the open asphalt payment to the car, I started feeling anxious as if the shark could swim up and bite me. I had to tell myself there are no sharks under the asphalt payment! Silly but true.

Finished Paprika and will have a review probably tomorrow! I agree with everyone about Jaws, it’s a masterpiece that is in my top 20 of all time.

Platoon

A profoundly anti-war film, just the way I like it. I can't explain why I haven't seen this sooner, but I'm glad I did now!
It feels like a kind of a sequence to Apocalypse Now, especially cause Charlie Sheen's dad was the lead on that so it's nice to compare the two perfomances.
I loved the soundtrack, Samuel Barber's Adagio is an amazing choice for this, the acting is great by everyone involved, with the stand outs of Sheen and Dafoe, who is probably the best thing about this film!
Some of the voice over sounded a bit cheesy but it didn't bother me too much.

You're left with this feeling of guilt and hate towards violence and war, and that's exactly what every war movie should try to do!
Thanks to whoever nominated this!

-

I’ve seen a number of Disney films over the years, including the older ones. I enjoyed Pinocchio and Peter Pan, as well as the 90’s renaissance, except Hercules, but Pinocchio and a Peter aren’t exactly among the greatest to me. Bambi and Dumbo probably are, as I feel more sympathetic towards the story, and I need to see them stat!

You have to guess!

Great flick, glad you thought so too.

Thank God you didn't like this. I thought ypuay have strangely, but we on the second page with this.

And that's 11 down in 31 hours

Platoon is currently one of the noms in the Best Picture II HoF I just watched it and was blown away by it. If anyone cares to read my review it's on the 1st post there.

I'll pass

Eventually when CaptainT's nominations are revealed, 1 movie will join Strange Days in being nominated 3 times.

Eish, have no idea... I'd say, you?

Ha! Find out in July sucker!

I have a HELLUVA time trying to watch Dumbo just because of HOW MUCH I bawl when he visits his mom when they lock her up. I get a lump in my throat just thinking about that scene.
