Top action/mind-bending movies

[Guild McCommunist]

I'm just being sarcastic with the likes.

AKA it's an impossible task.

Do i win anything?

Haven't seen it yet. But let us know what you think after you watch it.

RE: ARGO - Brilliant !!! couldnt fault it.

I starting going through the list a bit and saw Hancock.

How is that movie mind bending in anyway?

cuz Will Smiff gits his drink on an' shit when he's flyin an' shit. And, possibly, because of the whole twist at the end with Charlize Theron and who he really is... I really wanted to hate that movie when it came out but it actually wasn't a waste of a rental fee.

Nice. I missed it 'cos i went to a lame concert.

See response from Old8oy.

That doesn't really qualify it for "mind bending" as much as "containing a lame plot twist".

Also it's a shame that Michael Bluth quit the Bluth company to become a PR guy for Hancock.

That certainly makes it more interesting than Revenge of the Sith or Apocalypse Now.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

I think you're confusing "interesting" with "mediocre plot twists."

EDIT: And why are you bringing up Revenge of the Sith? Because it's a movie so worth defending that it'd really rile me up?

 

[Engert]

Admit one for the team. Hancock is better than Apocalypse Now.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

It's certainly better than Gothika.

 

[Engert]

Ok. Now we're getting somewhere.
Now let's talk about Gothika. What exactly do you hate about it, just so i can understand.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

It's just a laughable choice to put on any list of someone who claims to be a "movie buff".

You don't have to be a Harvard Law School-type to realize it's a poorly made film.

Also I generally find Halle (spelling?) Berry to be a highly mediocre actress.

 

[Engert]

Ok you hate Halle so you automatically hate the movie too.
Ok i can understand. I hate Tom Cruise but i still watch his movies after i get shit-faced so i don't have to hear his voice.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

I listed that "it was a shit movie" as a reason I hate the movie, Halle Berry was just one of the things.

And I don't hate her because she's annoying or a bad person, I hate her as an actress because I think she's a bad actress. Bad talent in a film often makes a bad film.

 

[Engert]

Tom Cruise is a bad actor too IMO. But Vanilla Sky was awesome.
Why couldn't they find someone else for that movie?

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Tom Cruise is just kinda like... Nolan North. You need a generic male protagonist? You get Tom Cruise. He's not terribly memorable or esteemed, at least personally.

Only liked him in the Mission Impossible movies. He was meh in War of the Worlds and pretty bad in Minority Report (Minority Report was also a fucking horrible movie).

 

[Engert]

Ok, i understand. Different taste i guess.
Earlier you mentioned that you don't enjoy war dramas. What type of movie category do you prefer?
In case you haven't figured it out by now i prefer the mind-bending category but i watch everything else
My idea of a well done movie is this:
1. It must get interesting in the first 20-30 minutes.
2. Preferably it must start with a confusing situation some sort of shock which you can't make sense until in the end.
3. The ending should be open-ended. For interpretation.

I'm guessing you're one of those sad sacks who thought Repo Men was a good movie?
