Rate The Last Movie You Saw

The Stuff (1985) - 5.5/10. Needed more of the white stuff coming out of humans. Not sure if it was budget concerns because more death would mean more practical effects. That is why the I feel the movie falls a little flat. And on top of that, it didn't give any information where the stuff comes from, or maybe I missed it due to work. Acting was just about decent. All in all, nice premise, bad execution.

This movie really surprised me. The trailer didn't really do it justice. This was a realistic gritty movie about a moral dilemma. Jeff Bridges played an early role back when he was virtually a nobody. Barry Brown was the lead, and he did a solid job. The story revolved around a group of unfortunate young men trying to survive during war time. Resorting to crime to get by, they have to go through many hardships. This was truly a great movie that deserved more recognition. It was well written, the acting was great, and the story warmed my heart. The ending was a bit ambiguous, but really did the movie justice in a big way.

I love this movie. It's so random to see it in the middle of your post like that. This is an obscure movie almost no one talks about. It's worth noting that she's adopted, so her uncle isn't a blood relation.

Edit: Also, she's 16. The movie was released in 1969 and she was born in december 1952. There is some nudity, and in the UK 16 is the age limit for that sort of thing, as apposed to 18 in the US.

Her character is 14 and she's never naked.

Klyftan (1973)
aka Kuilu (sorry, but there's no English title for this but it means chasm or abyss)

A Finnish TV-movie about the Finnish Civil War through the eyes of a 10/11-year-old girl. I was a little hesitant to watch this as I was expecting some heavy-handed red propaganda, but it was surprisingly subtle and non-preachy in that regard. It has weird editing and almost an experimental feel to it (something I didn't expect from an old Finnish TV-movie either). It's like a down-to-earth mundane mix of Forbidden Games and Bergman. This would definitely be in my top-25 directed by women list.



EDIT: This film has been rated by seven people on IMDb. I doubt any film I've seen has less

You Were Never Really Here (Lynne Ramsay, 2017) -

My favorite Phoenix performance, and Ramsay at the top of her game.

Latest film i watch was Stalingrad, must have been nearly 10 years since I last watched it. Still briliant.

You see her breasts, there's a scene at the beginning of the movie where she's getting dressed for school. I don't think they specified the character's age, but in the UK 16 is the age of consent. You can get married at 16. So, I believe it's implied that she's 16 with the way she talks about her brother, the conversations with her friend, and the questions she asks at school. But it's probably been a couple of years since I watched it. I have seen it 3 times. I could be wrong, but the impression I have is that she was 16.

Up the Down Staircase (1967)

This movie was the stuff of legends. A truly great Western full of the chaos of the lawless wild West. The character Barbarosa was a character of song and infamy. There were those who loved him, and those who cried out for his blood. Willie Nelson, who played Barbarosa, was an actor I knew more of in name, and it was a pleasure to get acquainted with him. Gary Busey played Karl, the young gringo who accompanied Barbarosa and became a subject of song and legend too. Karl was really the main character of this movie, which was a story about the legendary bandit Barbarosa told through his eyes. The legend lives on in Karl as a sort of second generation Barbarosa. This movie was gritty, realistic, and a whole lot of fun. It's the kind of movie that makes you want to cheer. This is the kind of movie that makes me think, "This is why the Western genre is so great!" It was a very fun movie, but it didn't really have any deep meaningful content, and wasn't artistic, so it didn't manage to get a higher rating. It's still a very good movie.

Okay, fair enough. I thought I got the sense that you enjoy being deliberately provocative but it's sometimes had to discern online, so I thought I would make the point. I guess I also enjoy defending good old American cinema too

I just realized that my quick one-word review of The Lighthouse got some people's panties in a knot. I'm free to state my opinion and stand by it. If somebody on here wants to cry about it, that's their problem and none of my business.

Rocky is the greatest movie ever made. Winner of 3 Oscars including Best Picture. The Lighthouse (rubbish) won...none. Red Sparrow (big-time rubbish) won...none. Sylvester Stallone is a 3-time Oscar nominee and a Golden Globe winning actor. He's not one to be looked down on by the so-called elitists on these boards, and I'm not one to be condescending to. I have a f***-all attitude.

So...f*** off, Felicia

Ha, don't flatter yourself. (I got temp banned for a similar comment)

Hahahahahahahaha, that is the funniest thing I've heard in ages!


If winning Oscars is the standard, then just off the top of my head Gladiator and The Lord of the Rings are better than Rocky by your definition. Kind of undermines your, "greatest movie ever" statement.

Haha, wrong, it won the Oscar for best Cinematography.

The list of awards The Lighthouse won is so long it's exhausting to list them all. I just copied and pasted from wikipedia:

Imagine if Rocky was even submitted to Cannes, lol, what a joke. That would be like serving microwave dinner to a gourmet chef.



Yup, it won 0 Oscars, but it still won a few awards. Who cares though? At least I've never said a movie was rubbish that won as many awards as Lighthouse did. You can call Red Sparrow rubbish if you want. I never said Red Sparrow was a great movie, but at least it doesn't have a fight scene that's so bad it's good.



Actually he is one to be looked down on by elitists like me. Why? Because he looks stoned, half asleep, and retarded in all of his movies.

The story of a young girl (who we never see) who is dropped off at school by her mother, Ann Lake, and is never seen again. Does Bunny Lake even exist or is it all in Ann's head? Ann could be a little crazy seeing as how she's a single, never married mother who is very dependant on her brother. It's a good movie but there are a few things that keep it from being great. At times it seems a little hard to believe, especially reactions to circumstances early in the film and it has a little pacing problem, occasionally. The ending is good but it also goes on for too long with the childish games. Olivier is great as the lead investigator and the guy who plays Ann's over the top, pervy landlord Wilson is fantastic. At one point it looks like Olivier is about to crack during a scene with this guy, he's that good.

I just watched The Lighthouse on Wednesday. I love that crazy, dark movie, in part because it's NOT like most movies, in part because of the downright memorable monochrome cinematography and, in part because my great-grandfather perished under similar circumstances in a lighthouse on a stormy island. I don't know if a monstrous octopus was involved, because he never got to tell his story.

Rocky, on the other hand, makes me regret that I've ever spent time in Philadelphia.
