It’s good to explore dark themes and be sad sometimes, I just wish Kes went for another 10 minutes and end on a different note. I’m bouncing off everyone’s suggestions to maintain the variety. Still exploring your list!

The racist slurs didn’t affect my enjoyment of it, they were just shocking. As in, they shocked me because I wasn’t expecting it. The thing that makes me not want to watch it again any time soon is the musical aspect, and just the over-the-top silliness. It was fun to watch, it’ll probably be fun to watch again at some point in the future, but I’m just not desperate to watch it again soon.

Zulu sounds interesting. While we’re recommending these types of movies, I’d recommend The Battle of Algiers. Really well done flick about the French and Arabs not getting along in Algeria.

I’d watched Dead Poets Society years and years ago, then watched it again yesterday. Very powerful movie that touched on themes I’d missed the first time around (probably too young). Thanks for the suggestion!

I watched Kes and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest… both pretty grim. Jack Nicholson was great in his role. I wish Kes had a happier ending, that was hard to watch. But both great movies. Tempted to try Lawrence of Arabia next…

I liked the whole movie, but I’m not downvoting people who have your opinion haha. What a petty reason to downvote someone.

I also watched Naked Gun (I think the one) and it was really funny. I’ll save the other Naked Guns for when I’m in the right mood, because they’re so over-the-top stupid - but very well done and funny. Maybe I’ll watch the anime one soon… I’ve wanted to get into anime for years but don’t know where to start. Maybe this is the one that gets the ball rolling…

I didn’t realise my thread was meant to be a competition. My apologies.

I watched Blazing Saddles… Oh boy. I was not expecting the full-on racial slurs right from the beginning. I know it’s mocking racists but it was still a shock. I wouldn’t watch it again but it was a fun watch.

Tron has an amazing soundtrack.

I like a certain type of war movie, but I like lots of different things. It’s impossible to specify everything exactly, so it’s good that I’m getting a wide range of things. I might check out Waterloo.

Some intriguing ones on this list. Cheers.

I agree re: Up and Train to Busan. I’ll have to check out your comedies.

I haven’t seen any LOTR so I might have to watch at least one of them.

I will give it a look!

I keep meaning to watch Dr Strangelove but never get around to it. I might watch it tonight.

I liked the Fight Club soundtrack. Movie was pretty good too.

Orwell 1984?

I actually like Godfather III. Even more than II, which I also enjoyed. Maybe because I don’t understand movies properly or something. Everyone seems cold on Godfather III.

Yep. We are ruled by idiots.
