r/movies

I completely understand why people don’t like Ed and Lorraine Warren and I’m not here to defend them or their real-life claims.

But if I look at The Conjuring movies purely as horror films, especially the first two, I genuinely think they’re really good.

They’re creepy, entertaining, well-made and have some genuinely scary moments. I actually rewatch the first two at least once every year and I still enjoy them just as much.

I also think Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are fantastic in these movies. Their chemistry is great and I genuinely enjoy watching them play Ed and Lorraine, regardless of what I think about the real people.

I’ve seen people on here say they could easily live without The Conjuring franchise and that’s fair. Everyone has different tastes. But as someone who genuinely loves the horror genre and watches a lot of horror movies, I feel like finding a really good, entertaining horror movie isn’t always easy.

I know the franchise has its flaws, especially the later movies but I still have a soft spot for it.

I also genuinely enjoy the Annabelle movies, especially Annabelle: Creation. I know these movies aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but I find them entertaining and rewatchable.

Anyone else feel the same way? I feel like the first two movies deserve some appreciation regardless of what people think about the real Warrens.

One of the biggest criticisms leveled at Social Reckoning is Aaron Sorkin’s directing.

However, I don’t think Aaron Sorkin is a bad director.

I just think he had an impossible task when he was assigned to direct the sequel to a film directed by one of the greatest visual storyteller of our.

Imagine if Jurassic Park: The Lost World was directed by David Koepp. It just wouldn’t be that good.

If you compare Rob Reiner’s “A Few Good Men” to Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago Seven,” you’ll notice that both movies were written by Sorkin, but Reiner directed “A Few Good Men” while Sorkin wrote and directed “The Trial of the Chicago Seven.” Surprisingly, neither movie is widely criticized, and the transition between the two movies is visually seamless because it’s clear that Rob Reiner was a skilled director of court dramas and didn’t do a lot of visual spectacle.

I am talking about watching movies when you were 15, and loved a character, and then, years later, you realized like "Actually, this one had a point...?"

Similar to favouring Tom over Jerry in the cartoon as an adult?

I realized, at the age of 43 and as a woman with some life experience, that I was on on Miranda´s side in Mrs. Doubtfire after recent rewatch after about 15 years. Robin Williams is great in there, the movie lost nothing of that, there are great scenes and gags and it nicely changes into a family drama at the end without forcing happy end between them and ended up on a realistic note.

But honestly, I understood her point of view. And seeing Pierce Brosnan´s character as a "villain" back then, he is actually just a nice guy who is willing to marry a woman with three children who he cares about.

Do you have any movie like that?

I’m looking for a movie that hits really hard emotionally and leaves you thinking about it for days after watching it.

I want something deeply emotional, meaningful, and thought-provoking — a movie about life, love, relationships, loss, loneliness, or just the complicated side of being human.

Not necessarily a movie that’s simply sad. I want something that makes you feel emotionally connected to the characters and leaves you sitting there in silence after the credits.

Basically, I want a movie that stays with me long after I’ve finished watching it.

Just saw Undertone and could not keep watching for the life of me, and usually I’m the one to stick it through until the end but this time I just couldn’t. That had me thinking, what’s some movies that made you stop watching? I’m curious how many recent ones will be on this list. Making a video that will have your responses on it!

In Infinity War Wanda and Vision are hiding out in Edinburgh, Scotland and plan on heading to Glasgow in the morning. While they talk about what they plan on doing there’s an exchange that goes like:

“There’s a train at 10 in the morning.”

“What if we miss it?”

“Then there’s one at 11.”

Which is just not even close to real life. Edinburgh and Glasgow are the biggest cities in Scotland by far and public transport between them is a breeze. Assuming Wanda wanted to go from Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Central they put on a train basically every 10 minutes. I can tell you if they really waited an hour to put on a train it would be anarchy.

For me, it's Olivia Colman. She's been in the odd stinker, but every time I see her in something, or I know she's starring in it, I am just absolutely and instantly delighted to see or hear her. She just has a presence about her. Even in some really dark/depressing movies like Tyrannosaur she's just the best part of that movie.

So who is this for you? Good or bad, who do you just delight in watching?

I work at a major film studio in Hollywood and spend nearly all of my free time researching what we should adapt into full-length feature films. With Hollywood where it is now, and studio-heads consistently pumping out hot garbage, I wanted to come here - directly to the audiences we are targeting - to hear what YOU think we should make next.

We pretty much have unlimited resources, but would only contribute massive budget to a project that we feel extremely confident will be financially worthwhile.

What I mean by that:

Are there movies where the main character is the killer/murderer?

Like we follow their planning and process. Their thinking, reasoning... etc...

Instead of following the cops or detectives that are always one step behind, trying to figure out who it is, never knowing who the killer is

Instead we see the killer maybe stalking or following the news on what they're doing or the cops to make sure they don't get caught

I hope that made sense lol

EDIT: Holy cow! Lol thanks for all the recommendations everyone lol
