Movies
{Graph}
A film, also called a movie, motion picture or photoplay, is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon. This optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession. The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry. A film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects.

Saved!I was just thinking about the 80s and I realised those old films were miles scarier than anything today. Poltergeist was terrifying, I bet every one of you remembers that creepy old man.
So why don't we have a scariest movie list? What do you guys think are the scariest movies ever? I'm going poltergeist all the way. But the first Paranormal Activity was a scary modern film too. Not too many modern films are scary but when that come out it was good.-
Saved!NodleyEditing … The first Blair Witch too. Before found footage films flooded the market and it all got a bit shit. That was creepy as fuck.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Being of a different era I guess, I actually rarely find '80s movies even mildly scary. Modern indie horror, particularly supernatural found footage, is what gets me the most. A recent one I really liked was Incantation, Taiwanese found footage.

Once you've finished watching every movie on the list, congratulations. You are now a historian.-
Saved!SudertumEditing … Meh, prefer my history books and history related games. :) The nine flicks i already watched mostly contain many inacurancies.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … I would have included The Bible: In the Beginning and Fiddler on the Roof, personally. But then again, I am not a historian. (wait, Wonder Woman and Fantastic Beasts? this is a meme list I think? lol) (Assassin's creed... yeah, ok)
-
Saved!SudertumEditing … Likely, Baahubali for example is on youtube. Beeing completly fiction in a ancient setting, battle scenes are stupid and amazing at the same time. So just an indian blockbuster!

Saved!I downloaded a bunch of old 70s movies I remember watching as a kid such as Piranha and The Bees. Let's see if they are as good as I remember.
Anybody got any 70s films to recommend me?-
Saved!SudertumEditing … No none in my mind, but i just recogniced on imdb has an advanced search function (year, country, genre etc) might help.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … I obviously remember Jaws, Superman, The Fog and all those awesome movies. The 70s were quite good really from memory.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Oh wait, The Fog was released 1980... well it was filmed in the 70s! lol. Brilliant film that, far more spooky than anything I've seen in a long time.
-
-
Saved!KlemoibEditing … hehe so there is a movie called "the bees"? Must go well with Hitchcock's The Birds. Does 1968 count as 70's? I love Barbarella. That is in my non-existant top 10 weirdest movies. Mmh let's see...invasion of the body snatchers, Apocalypse Now, Rocky, Enter The Dragon, The Changes (1975, is a series I think). Crap. I have some very cool sicfi movies in my brain but I just don't know the names. Oh yeah even though it's 1981 and an animation I highly recomend American Pop by Ralph Bakshi. It's an Animation about 3 generations of families who are all into music in some way. The animation takes you through different eras of music history. It's a good story. Worth the watch. you can stream it here if you're interested: https://www.veoh.com/watch/v18163999Twgc4Xj -
Saved!KlemoibEditing … Ooh I yound this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KayCsPZF1fY&list=PLmRu2axUu2LFrmjtsqrAICCafsGtu_yNZ

-
Saved!ExplojinEditing … Family Plot, one of my favorite Hitchcock films. Bruce Dern is great. And The Conversation with Gene Hackman -
Saved!KlemoibEditing … I got really confused by the Birds. I was waiting for some sort of conclusion to the movie but it just ends at random hehe.

Saved!Anybody else use the app Letterboxd? It's pretty neat. I like that I can record what day I watched something and look at a timeline of the movies I've watched with the ratings I gave them. Will make tallying up my best of the year list much easier.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Master crash and I are on letterboxd, although I haven't used it in a while because I grew bored of moves. I always just used it in a browser btw, not the app.
-
Saved!ExplojinEditing … The website has too many ads, I like the app interface more. It's pretty sleek and has everything where you want it...
-
-
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Slider is making statuses about Moneyball, so, today I created a new list on Letterboxd of movies I might go back and see someday.
-
-
Saved!I really should watch Samurai Cop someday. This looks amazing.
https://youtu.be/CmsDh5F8VUw -
Saved!I really really wish film makers would find a better balance between extremely loud music and quiet talking.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Film makers? I always viewed this as a problem that was exclusive to games.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … GT5 - Jeff Gordon NASCAR Intro / Beginners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12eFREVl4aw

Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … when Dante talks (50 seconds in) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udb5VNAXzaI
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … every cutscene in this god forsaken series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7adQmgaOy7Y
-
Saved!MrZAPEditing … The issue is with the final mix. All of those audio tracks are separate and then put together, so it should be relatively straightforward to balance them, with the extra care being necessary mostly for artistic license.

Saved!How many have you guys seen? What would you change?

Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … Aw man, now everyone's counting. Okay, nine. Seven of those are good, but Citizen Kane and Tokyo Story are so freakin' old. And I can't believe I remember Wings of the Dove...

-
Saved!So, is there any real reason (besides shameless money grabbing) that the industry is flooded with remakes, re-releases and sequels to old franchises? Is this just the nostalgia generation?
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … The "industry" is always the lowest form of any medium, you have to look outside it to find the good shit.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … I'm sick to death of super hero movies. Not many films have interested me lately.
-
Saved!MasterCrashEditing … I saw a video about this the other day. It was something on the lines of the fact that the media pre-internet had more control about what got marketed, but with the internet age now everyone can get access to their own niche stuff, but since that was not the case in the 80s and 90s we kinda did grew up more or less watching the same stuff. Stuff we are now nostalgic for and also, guess what, we now have money to throw at it. So instead of focusing on marketing new stuff that people can generally avoid, it's far more safe nowadays to just bet on things we grew up with.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … I suppose there's a lot of truth in that. But I love new stuff too. Look how Harry Potter smashed it. Every so often something new comes along and does really well. And the total recall remake was shit.
-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … There's actually tons of new stuff being made at the same time, so it doesn't bother me. It's just a bit bewildering going to the cinema in 2019 and seeing posters for Aladdin, Pet Sematary and Child's Play.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Not gonna lie, pet semetary interests me. I love the original but it's quite shit watching it now, it's like a cheap tv movie.
-
Saved!SandvichEditing … Because just like gaming and every other industry, we're in the era of record profit-seeking for every quarter. The number of movies released each year has doubled since the turn of the century, and people have their attentions further divided by Netflix, Youtube, social media, Fortnite etc. So brand awareness becomes key and movie executives greenlight the familiar and give it a huge marketing budget. What's easier to drill into the drill into the heads of the masses? "Widows? Never heard of it? Oh, it's a heist movie? Based on a BBC series? Never heard of that either. Steve McQueen? He's dead! Oh, the director. What has he done? 12 Years A Slave? Yeah, I've been meaning to see that one but it looks so grim." VS "Black Panther? Ooh, he was really cool in Civil War! I'll see that for sure!" Much like game publishers pushing military shooters until they're driven into the dirt, movie studios chase trends like the Dark Universe, not because they think it will make for a quality franchise, but because they're risk averse and they want some of that sweet MCU money. In that case as well as the DCEU you see how it can blow up in their faces when they try to cut corners and push a franchise out the door without gradually building on it. And it doesn't really matter if these factory assembled movies suffer because of it. In spite of all the fuck-ups, the Mummy still made back more than double its budget. I work with people with medical degrees, and regularly hear conversations like "I can't wait to see that Nutcracker movie" or "My husband and I watched that Adam Sandler Netflix movie and were dying of laughter when naked David Spade fell out of the truck!" Even intelligent members of the filmgoing public generally don't really give a shit. They don't see enough movies to recognize lazy writing, cliche or stock characters or stereotypes, and going to the movies to them is usually an excuse to get out of the house, something fun to do with the kids, somewhere to go on a date etc. Go look at audience polls on Cinemascore. X-Men: First Class is tied with Origins: Wolverine for the lowest rated of the franchise, meaning the Last Stand and Apocalypse were liked better. A family film like Wall-E gets the same score as the fucking Lorax! TL;DR Yes, because of money-grubbing, and because it tends to work.... for now.
-
-
Saved!ExplojinEditing … I think folks will go see a reboot movie because if they liked the original and they like the new one that's great. If they don't like the new one they get to compare the two and shit all over it. They still have something to talk about the next day so it's a win-win situation from the general consumers point of view. And of course that translates to dollars.
-
Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … I dunno. There's a lot more money grubbing than ever before at the moment. I think companies are really playing it safe, because they're super-afraid of losing out. Sorry if I can't offer any really good insight, but that's the perception I've getting from these big entertainment companies.
