Princess Bride, mostly because it's a great way to see what characters you can steal.

The Discworld movies are also good for a laugh and fir its silly nature.

Pirates of the Caribbean is also good, though only really the first. After that you can watch more if you really want to see more of Jack Sparrow.

The Matrix and Terminator for you Sci-fi stuff.

My personal recommendation is House of Flying Daggers, great wuxia movie. Also I recommend Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Both of these are great wuxia. Just watch them for an idea of that kind of action.

Apart from that, go nuts.

If you're a fan of Warhammer Fantasy, I'd recommend "Flesh and Blood", a Verhoeven film about a group of late medieval mercenaries.
It's weirdly comic, tonally inconsistent, violent and bizarre. I actually strongly disliked it the first time I saw it, but it's grown on me since then.

"Starship Troopers" is hilarious mil SF. Mandatory viewing for 40k fans and fans of space militaries generally.

While by far not a good film, "Clash of the Titans" the re-make version has some fun special effects and amusing fantasy concepts. I particularly liked the wooden cyborg desert people.

If you're in the mood for some of the classics, "Jason and the Argonauts" and "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" are fun Harryhausen adventure films with cute stop-motion monsters. "Sinbad" even features Tom Baker as a power mad sorcerer whose spells slowly ravage his body the more he uses them, very Conan in nature.

"Last of the Mohicans" is also an excellent adventure film in the classical mold, with some cool battles and skirmished on the American frontier.

>>50584894
The Duelists is a wonderful film. You have good taste, anon.

Azumi is basically

>Orphan PC is somehow extremely good at fighting with swords

Backstory material.

>>50585036
Anon, I can't NOT hate a movie where they are making a turn over an anchor in the middle of high sea.
I sail too much to endure something so bad as PotC. And then came the sequel, which as far as I care, could take place on land and drop the "pirate" part completely for all that's important.

Besides, since everyone went for PotC, barely anyone in States came to see M&C. And since it was early 00s, studios still were fully focused on American market rather than international, so they've cancelled possibility of other M&C films.

Saying I'm bitter it's an unterstatement.
And that still doesn't make PotC good. The first one was average, but the rest was simply bad. Yet they are STILL dragging this shit. But at least even die-hard fans are questioning it now, so I can have my triumph finally.

>>50585086
I like you, anon. And I like your taste.
But most importantly, I like the fact I can finally add something new to the list

>>50585139
Bro, really, chill. I have ten years of martial arts and have taught them for three, yet I still can watch a movie about them without going full sperg.

>>50585174
Told you, I'm bitter they've cancelled M&C over such piece of shit like PotC. That's a wound that won't heal.
Watching bad film can be fun.
Knowing a bad film is a reason why a good film wasn't made is another story.
Having to endure at the table people who came to play maritime game because PotC is just torture for me as a GM

>>50585139
Why on earth would you want a Master and Commander sequel? Sequels are for bad stupid fun movies like pirates of caribbean, actual good movies only get ruined by sequels.

>>50585036
Not him, but the only way and reason I've watched PotC films (at least the first three) was because:
- I was in my late teens
- third film just came out
- my friend was a massive fan and pirated all three
- his parents weren't home, so we had a wild party which finished with an all-night PotC marathon
- I was drunk, thus much more accepting than normally to his film choice (we are talking about a guy who adores Sucker Punch)

And I still say anything past film was pointless and boring, while the first film itself was so-so.

>>50585293
Are you aware there are 21 books in the Aubrey–Maturin series, and they've just picked two of them (M&C and Far Side), while cramming trivia from half of the series around?

But their sequels aren't bad. And PotC sequels are fucking horrible.

>>50585439
Well then now you should get at least part of my pain. We missed what could be THE biggest adventure and maritime series in history of cinema, instead getting bogged down with some half-witted, progressively less fun fantasy about freedom-fighting pirates, defenders of the democracy. Or focusing the entire story on a supporting character, because hey, what could possibly go wrong if you make a quirky sidekick the main character

That's only because, while entertaining, Pirates of Caribbean is worst than Indiana Jones or Die Hard (always talking about the first). And while Jack Sparrow was somewhat fun to a degree, Johny Depp is a shit actor compared to Bruce Willis or Harrison Ford.

But in the end they're all more related to each other than with Master and Commander, a movie with a very different vibe, I'll say.

Netflix's Marco Polo has was pretty decent Mongolian barbarian stuff. Second season was entertaining, but from a idea steal perspective you can stop watching at the end of the first season.

>>50585816
Changing the subject completely, I think people are forgetting how fucking GREAT first Die Hard is, while most of them never really saw the film and are rather thinking about sequels when discussing it. I mean the whole point of Die Hard was how John is your average guy, a TRULY average guy that barely scraps through it. By the third film (which is almost as good as the original, mind you) he's some sort of super cop.
Pretty much the same thing as with First Blood, which was a pretty dark drama about a war veteran that suffers an outburst due to PTSD, while the series is mostly related with the shitty sequel, with explosions, absurd weapon uses and one action sequence chasing another.

I remember all the gymnastics it took to first convince my local cinema to run the film and then get there when it was screened.

Worth it

Stargate. Not the TV-movies, but the very thing that started the entire franchise. It's one of those "so bad, it's great" films.
Alternatively, just watch it with friends and lots of beer.

My two favorites for Deadlands:

The Burrowers (2008)
Ravenous (1999)

Both chock full of side characters, the awesome kind and the fucked up kind, to toss into campaigns as NPCs.

>>50587287
Ravenous is fucking epic. It's one of those films that not only comes with great twists, but also is so good that you can still enjoy it fully on rewatch, since a shitload of things in turn are made to be a rewatch bonus.

Speaking of rewatch bonus and twists - The Disappearance of Alice Creed. People should learn how to build stories relying on details watching this masterpiece.

>>50587287
I will repeat myself like a broken record - have you seen by chance the cut scene with Reich from the DVD release?

>>50587287
But you can't use Ravenous for Deadlands. We had this discussion quite recently. You see, Deadlands by default assumes everyone is familiar with supernatural within the setting and it's just part of the life for characters. Ravenous is all about superstition and legends being maybe real, maybe not, but the sole possiblility comes as a great shock to pretty much anyone.

Still very good film, regardless of anything.

"superstition and legends being maybe real, maybe not, but the sole possiblility comes as a great shock to pretty much anyone" IS Deadlands. It's ENTIRELY about people discovering old legends aren't legendary and that scaring the shit out of them.

If in your setting people are all like "oh look a vampire, pass the garlic," you're doing it wrong.

>>50587624
Not him, but he kinda has the point about the difference between those two settings. But I would rather put it on the scale, rather than familiarity.
You see, by the end of Ravenous, there is nobody left, aside Martha, who knows about what happend and that wendigo myth is real. In Deadlands, while a lot of freaky stuff is going around, it's a public knowledge. People might be freaked out by it, but they at least know.

Not necessarily. Plenty of monsters want to keep their shit on the down low, and at least two major organizations exist solely to keep people in the dark about the freaky shit.

Mad Max: Fury Road, because you need to base your cultists on something and these ones are pretty good.

Machete Kills, if you want to run some sort of stupidly amazing (or amazingly stupid) campaign

Primer, because if you understand it you will understand your DM's mind

Stardust, because it's rad, and has pretty cool shit that doesn't need to be explained

Snowpiercer, for how railroading (heh) can be a good thing

Many old wuxia films. Several modern ones.

>>50592414
LIST THEM!

I will just say Once upon a time in China, at least the first two. Everything else was just god-awful, but the first two were really great. Maybe the western one too, but it was just plain weird.

>>50592408
I think the beauty of the movie is that it doesn't hold your hand, but still gives you all the pieces to make your own conclusions (that might all be right).

If Aaron was using the party as a distraction, then it probably took several tries. Most likely he was using those tries to build up capital for the project in the last scene. Aaron had to go through the timelines enough to become essentially prescient, so it definitely took a while.

>>50592408
>>50592448
What is really scary about this film is how they travel in time. It's the slowest time machine in fiction, since BOTH ways you are travelling in real time, taking hours.
And they roll-back for at least a week once. Or maybe more.

>>50591847
If you're gonna mention Hellboy you should really say Hellboy 2: the Golden Army. You get all the good stuff, Hellboy punching monsters and crackin wise, Johann Krauss being a dick, Abe is Abe. It's the first one but better in all the ways that matter.

Hellboy 2 might have better monster design, but 1 is just a superior film. Though on the topic, Pan's Labyrinth is another good one for monsters.

>>50592489
Well, going by the word of god (and a lot of evidences from the movie itself), they aren't even real.
They are just clones.
And inperfect clones, with each time travel being just a xero copy of a previous xero, getting all more blurry...

Now THAT is fucked up.

>>50592491
Abe did, since he was the first to use it. But Aaron was the one who wanted to go further.

>>50592481
Eh, fair enough, but I've been on a binge reading whatever Hellboy I can get my hands on along with a bunch of BPRD stuff so that's probably painted my opinion of the 2 a bit. I kinda dig that Krauss got his (2nd?) suit rather than his lightbulb attached to a bag 1st suit, and that he pretty much is just terrible with living people, or just people in general.

I ran a successful "you're in a wizard's tower and the door magically seals" campaign. Granted, they all knew beforehand that they were heading on a suicide mission to a place people enter and are never heard from again, and that the dungeon ecosystem/economy would be very different from the norm. It was wild.

Different strokes. I just didn't like the pacing of The Raid, it felt like an endless slapfight by the end. Dredd gets points docked for the progressively shittier CGI though

Snowpiercer was shit. It's nothing more than an edgy teenager's love letter to communism, with a boring plot, ham-fisted themes and symbolism, lame action, and dull characters.

Complete fucking waste of time, and massively overrated. Don't be such a pleb.

>>50592968
>for the progressively shittier CGI though
Care to elaborate?

>>50592975
Mainly the big firefight towards the end. Some of it looked really cheesy

>>50592969
It's great if you watch it as a comedy. And/or know Korean. Also, I watched it mostly because I played the living shit out of Transarctica as a teen.

Whoever thought to hire Cap as the main hero was fucking retarded. And it's epic when Ed Harris calls him on shitty acting, supposedly in-character, but we all know what he really meant,

Seriously, watch that film as a comedy. I happend to have a pretty dope subtitles, making a lot of pop-cultural references that weren't present in the original, so my experience might be "slightly" different, having about 10 times as many jokes and good ones at that.

>>50593006

Have we been watching the same film?

>>50592384
The trailer (at least the one I saw) didn't even reveal anything about the Rainmaker plot as well, I watched it only expecting action flick of Willis kills Gordon-Levitt.

>>50593013
While I would normally offer the counter-argument that Dredd has canonically dealt with more ridiculous ways of assanination like a gun that kills via projecting your worst fear a thousand fold, a more appropriate one would be up until that point nothing in the story had been actually threatening to Dredd and Anderson and if Ma-Ma hadn't gone batshit in her attempts to kill them, Dredd and company would've had no way to call in backup (setting up the confrontation with the dirty judges) or move forward and attempt to arrest Ma-Ma.

>>50593013
This. Until that point the film was as subtle as a film starring Dredd can be

>>50593057
You know what they say, the worst enemy of every villain is the villain him/herself.

Anderson mind-raping Kay was probably the best moment, outside of course Dredd being Dredd, since that was at least expectable.

>>50592969
>>50593010
Not sure if, but I guess this is a fellow Pole, given hour and details he lists.
Polish subtitles to Snowpiercer were fucking hilarious. They've literally saved the film from being unbrearable and making it instead fun to watch. Someone really put an effort making them.

>>50593430
... which is impossible on first viewing, as certain things aren't that obvious until you finish the film

Not to sound like some forever-alone/ronery guy, but fuck it was satisfying to see a movie not go in for hollywood cliches.

>>50593506
Urban and Wagner flexed all the muscles they had while making this film. For example, Urban literally left the stage when they insisted he should finally removed his helmet in certain scene, while Wagner openly pulled the "If you make them kiss, I will fucking sue you for breaking paragraph X point Y of our agreement" trick.

So yeah, it cost them a lot of effort to make that film the way it is and to fight back the execs.

>>50593478
He might just be really new. Temple of Doom now has to compete with Crystal Skull for worst Indiana Jones movie. Think about that for a moment.

>>50593533
What I really think about is how /tg/ always brings Temple as a bad film.
For me it was the best one of all three. And I literally don't know anyone outside /tg/ who considers it bad

>>50593533
Crystal Skull was better than Last Crusade desu, but then again I am not a fan of retreads even if they're decent.

Delta Green general recommends The Objective.

And it was so much better for it. So much.

I still have the fucking awful taste in my mouth from the Stallone movie, and it was just so refreshing to see a "big budget" (i don't actually know that it was that big) action flick kick back against the cliches and come out better for it. It's a shame that it didn't get better audiences. Every one of my friends I've shown it to have loved it, and they've almost unanimously expressed, " Fuck that was great, why the hell didn't I go see it?".

>>50593574
OR the terrible actress that followed Indy around, Shortround, everything relating to the monkey brains scene. Really a lot of things make it the less memorable Indiana Jones film.

Dredd doesn't have much of a following Down Under, so it's amazing, really, that anyone here saw it. I loved it, though. It was nothing stupidly over the top, had decent action, a serviceable plot, well-cast actors, and I even quite enjoyed the use of the 3D/CGI elements to give a better idea of the slowmo drug.

Your ignorance of Approved Movies at the opening of the thread proves you need an eye check.

>>50585139
They specifically said that they were racing towards shallows in the anchor scene. That's why they were dumping weight. It wasn't deep sea.

I'd hate to sail with you if you're that incapable of noticing details.

>>50593621

M&C is shit compared to the books, but yeah, you're stupid.

The Descent is interesting, though not that simple to use as an inspiration.

I thought Sword And The Sorcerer was a fun watch.

It's 80's cheesy as hell (particularly the three bladed sword) but decently acted, more than a fair share of naked eye candy, not-tereible action and some very memorable scenes (like the protagonist taking on three armed thugs in a back alley using only a leg of mutton or something as a weapon).

Just don't get fooled when the credits roll and they promise you that the protagonist will return in an upcoming title. It never happened...

>>50593712
>He thinks it's about depth
Not even him, but you fucking CAN'T use anchor as a fucking turning point, you fucking idiot. It's a chain/rope holding a heavy weight on the end of it. How the FUCK you want to turn around that? Do you even basic physics, you mongoloid?!
You can use anchor to slow down, even if it won't hit bottom, but that's all. It will make manouvering harder, because well, you lost momentum and sailing manouvers are ALL about using your momentum for the duration when your sails aren't working due to the ship/yacht changing course and own alignment toward the wind, which requires to re-brass your sails.

Jesus, it takes to be uber-sperg to defend PotC for "realism" aspects.

>>50585394
Not to mention Star Wars... but if he said PREQUELS are bad, ther's no quarrel.

>>50593697
>you need an eye check.
I actually do. Nevermind, carry on

>>50593776
>star wars
>good sequels or prequels

Choose 1.

>>50593712
You monumental idiot, they've used anchor as a rigid axis for their turn. To be useful, it would have to:
- be RIGID (it's a fucking chain)
- actually hit bottom
- magically not stop them in place or even slow down a little
- they would require other porpulsion than sails (which they had, since the scene is obviously filmed against the wind on flat sails and on diesel engine)

In short, not only the film had absurdly bas sailing for a pirate movie, but also you are a trendemously uneducated faggot. Sailing ship is not a fucking skateboarder catching lamp post.

>>50593782
WRONG! Not to mention retarded.

>>50593783
>- be RIGID (it's a fucking chain)
That one's not actually a problem as long as you keep tension on it.

That said, anybody looking for realism in PotC is completely retarded.

>>50593712
>I have no idea about sailing: The Post
Alternatively
>I have no idea about vectors: The Post

>>50593796
To keep the tension, you would have to balance the weight of the anchor with the momentum of a moving ship. Don't want to break it for you, but the anchor would have to weight roughtly 20 times as much, if not more.
Which in turn would most likely break the chain upon so much tension put on it.

And this might surprise you, but there was a lot of people who went to see a pirate movie. And up until skellingtons show up in the middle of it, it looks like an adventure film, not a fantasy. That was BEFORE PotC established itself as a fairy tale with Carribbean backdrop.
Rings you a bell why so many people get really pissed off?

>>50586910

they're literally the same film you mongoloid

>>50593791
Only reason why you like later star wars films is because of nostalgia, hell even the first one is pretty bad outside of (for its time) impressive special effects.

>>50585139
Much as you're right, this shit is annoying. I have a friend who is a gun enthusiast who suddenly can't enjoy all of the movies he used to love or any new ones because they don't use proper stances, holds, etc.

It's made worse since I've quietly been a gun enthusiast since I was 7 and we fired rifles in Boy Scouts (when no one was PC), know all the same shit he does and more, and I don't give a shit.

Movies are not real life. Life ain't the movies. Just go with it.

It's not that hard to imagine someone getting all pumped up for Errol Flynn pirate movie and ending up with shitload of disappointment.

>>50593842

It's not working like that

>>50593893
It was made by Cannon. That's worse than Disney, all things considered.

>>50593748
the best part of sword and the sorcerer wasn't even the movie. It was all the side quest they hinted that the main hero done. Every one of them sounded like way more interesting than the movie.
Also that "rescue" scene, it was brilliant.

That movie was so bad that it turned out great.

>>50593912
It was only distributed by Cannon. Wikipedia says production was handled by Cathargo and Accent-Cominco.

>>50593902
>It's not working like that
>he actually believes this
Batman v Superman made $870 million.
Suicide Squad made $745m.

>>50593825
So you are basically saying people should just give Hollywood a free pass on being generally shit on any form of research? And I'm not talking about some turbo autismo, but just basic research and listening to the consultants they hire anyway in at least tiniest regard.

Got that friend from the studies, who was hired as a consultant for Roman-themed TV series. They've paid him for entire month to ask him twice
- can we use white wine?
- are the numerals on the flag right?
Why even bother with hiring people if you not only don't use them, but ask them such questions? And they've hired him, because he had a degree in Roman 3rd century architecture.

>>50593952
Utter garbage meant to appeal for the lowest common denominator has been the very lifeblood of Hollywood since the day 1.

>>50593952
We are talking about different things here. I'm not questioning that enough marketing can't sell utter shit.
I'm more about "if studio fucks up research or ignores it completely, you should point fingers". You know, like with Armageddon, which makes roughtly 2.2 mistakes regarding science per minute and everyone laught how absurdly bad it is.

>>50593919
You, sir, are my friend.

>>50593980
>I'm more about "if studio fucks up research or ignores it completely, you should point fingers".
That's fine, but if they can print money without changing it, the studio aren't going to care.

You gotta go for the directors, screenwriters, cinematographers. Don't laugh at the movie, laugh at the man. Hurt their pride, and they'll try harder to 'show you'.

>>50593825
Anon, but you are wrong. And PotC vs M&C is a marvelous case study. M&C put a LOT of effort to research everything properly and recreate as much stuff as possible. This leads to a film that is still entertaining, while also having an extra edge of being well-researched. On the other hand you have PotC, which entirely runs on rule of cool and is just painful to watch if you happen to know just about anything about related subjects, even if you are not autistic, because it's that bad.

>>50594005
Why should I laugh at people who had nothing to say?
I mean... are you at least aware who makes such decisions and how things are handled in studio system? Director is literally the last person having a say about makign research. Studios buy scripts years before making a film and then rework them as they please with hacks hired for few bucks. Cinematographer won't magically fix a scene which is badly written.
In short - it's execs fault.

>>50593961
No. Not a free pass. But if you reason for hating it is based on some borderline obsession with a subject most people don't know or care about, then let it slide. They're not going to PotC film to learn ANYTHING about pirates, let alone sailing. It's a fantasy film that makes strong use of the absurd as the framework upon which everything else gets hung. It's based on a frigging ride at Disney World.

Stop being such an insufferable cunt and you might have fun in places you're currently denying yourself.

Anon, I can't NOT hate a game where they are casting a firebal at a fire giant in the middle of high fantasy combat.
I adventure too much to endure something so bad as D&D. And then came the sequel, which as far as I care, could take place on space and drop the "fantasy" part completely for all that's important.

Besides, since everyone went for D&D, barely anyone in States came to play GURPS. And since it was late 70s, studios still were fully focused on American market rather than international, so they've cancelled possibility of other GURPS supplements.

Saying I'm bitter it's an understatement.
And that still doesn't make D&D good. The first one was average, but the rest was simply bad. Yet they are STILL dragging this shit. But at least even die-hard fans are questioning it now, so I can have my triumph finally.

>>50594036
Depends. really.
Mostly depends on what kind of film you are making, who is your target and if it's an adapted script or not.

Perhaps I should have said 'accuracy is more expensive', because you gotta have people with qualifications who can go through and go 'this is wrong', as opposed to getting Joe Hack to slam his head on a keyboard for a while and throwing the result at Zack Snyder.

You're totally right, though.

>>50594097
More expensive?
Anon, when you are spending 150 mil to make a film, spending another 10 grands for bunch of consultants isn't expensive at all.
The real tricky part is to LISTEN to those guys. Stories like this anon >>50593961 are pretty standard for film production. They first hire a specialist, then don't use them, misuse them or ignore their advices. For no apparent reason, too

Poles made Witcher TV series 15 years ago. They didn't hire a fencing instructor for it. Instead used aikido trainer to cover for fencing, since he was already hired to cover for HtH combat. If you know even basic aikido moves, you will spot that instantly in their sword choreography.

Not to you. But the finance department are not ordinary humans. The same people who quite happily sign off on $400k a week for some actor could quite easily balk at paying some people to come in and tell them how many ruffles there need to be in the noble's coat.

Naval combat bores the shit out of a lot of people. Relying so heavily on it killed the momentum of the movie for a lot of people.

People that DID like it REALLY liked it, but for the majority of the population it was just kind of meh. It sold itself as an intense and riveting film, but it was too niche.

PotC coming out at the same time had no effect on it.

M&C is a terribly dull movie if - like the majority of people - you don't really give a shit about sailing and want to see an action movie on boats.

PotC is the exact opposite. Which is why people loved it and went to see it.

I pity any RPG you are in and hope you stick to war gaming or TTCG.

>M&C is a terribly dull movie if you are American audience
Here, FTFY.
Because everyone else but Americans loved that film. But as already mentioned, in the far away year 2003, studios still didn't learn to look on foreign revenue, so they've declared the film a flop, while making half of the budget back as pure profit and now having all the props for next film, drastically lowering their costs.

>>50594221
Road Warrior didn't come with memes that could be shared over and over again on reddit&twitter.

>>50594232
Try talking to anyone about it. At best you'll get a vague mention of railguns and "most sailors can't swim". Maybe mixed in with some "It's called a ship not a boat".

>>50594273
Yeah pretty much.

Fury Road was almost unarguably the most competently choreographed, high-energy action movie, bar none, within the last decade. The only real argument people have against it comes from a purely "Not Muh Road Warrior" angle, like the replies indicate.

It's movie franchise grognardism, either people afraid of change or people who are angry that it had a female lead for some fucking reason. Everyone who isn't a bitter idiot loved it.

>>50594341
It never cease to amaze me when people with so little knowledge still speak up.

You can duel just about any two (and more) movies. The entire point is to compete for audience with your opponent.

>>50594332
Making minimal profit on a high-risk investment is hardly a benchmark for success.

>>50594332
Not enough profit to justify the risk of making another. I don't think you understand how companies and media work.

>>50594386
>Implying M&C had marketing
My fucking sides...

And they've did. All things considered, the film turned in with 30% profit, which is more than enough to make entire fucking quadrology (and last part being split on 2 movies) for Hollywood in most cases.

>>50594345
What does that have to do wit M&C not being boring?

Yeah those other movies were technically worse, but they were actually entertaining.

Wait. Are you . . . Are you mad that most of society outside of your niche interests are "filthy casuals"?

>>50594387
>>Fury Road was almost unarguably the most competently choreographed, high-energy action movie, bar none, within the last decade

Which is hardly impressive considering how 99% of this millennium's action cinema has either been filled to the brim with shaky cam and/or bullet time bullshit.

>>50594387
>It's ok to rape established franchise

Maybe they have a very good fucking reason for that?

I mean why even bother calling it Mad Max, if it could be sold under any fucking title and rather than gaining scorn of existing fandom, get their praise for being spiritual successor of their favourite series?

>Le neo/tg/ contrarianism
Did it work?

>>50594436
As sequels? No I'm not please name them.

>>50594390
You appear to have confused dueling works with something else. Dueling works need to be competing for the same audience. That means they need to be similar.

Here's Wikipedia's list of twin films (which is the other name for it). Notice that M&C is not on here.

Nobody's surprised, we just think you're dumb. This is like people complaining about video game franchises that haven't had good sequels in decades getting reboots that aren't "faithful" to the source material.

Road Wattior came out in 1981. Your last sequel was fucking Thundersome. Your Mel Gibson franchise isn't sacred cinema. There was nothing left to desecrate when Fury Road came around. There was nowhere to go but up. Get over it.

Easiest way to identify a neo-mad max fan? They behave like the franchise started with Road Warrior.

>>50594489
Ah yes. The lowest common denominator.

This is why when you look at the critical reception for Fury Road, you see a disparate rift between the professional critics and the audience reviews, and not a 97 percent critical optical rating, because we live in an alternate dimension.

Considering that we're talking about same reviewers here that gave stuff Dances with Wolves the Blue Edition and Kitchen Rat near universal acclaim I wouldn't put too much trust in their options.

>>50594520
Whenever someone discusses a popular movie or unpopular movie and defends their differing opinion by using the words "least common denominator", you are talking with an insufferable cunt. Adjust your conversation accordingly.

>>50584571
I'm going to assume most obvious recomendations have already been made.

The City of Lost Children, Dark City, The Descent, "As Above, So Below", Black Death, Apocalypse Now, Any Tarantino Movie, most Michael Mann movies, heh. Frankly, I can see RPG in most media. It's a matter of how you approach the thing.

>>50594495
>This is like people complaining about video game franchises that haven't had good sequels in decades getting reboots that aren't "faithful" to the source material.

This thread actually reminds me a lot about people complaining about the modern Tomb Raider games disgracing the "legacy" of a franchise that up to that point hadn't had a passable entry since 1998.

>itt people find out that some people don't like their favorite popular movie/hidden gem/etc. and get triggered

>>50594580
>up to that point hadn't had a passable entry since 1998.
TR Anniversary was pretty good, though that was just a rehash of TR 1.

>>50594580
Guardian of Light came out in 2010, m8.

Of course it was even more of a divergence from traditional style than the Uncharted Raiders.

>>50594158
>>50594445
Movies are waaaaaay more subjective than other forms of entertainment in my opinion which is why this thread is full of "What the fuck faggot like the movie I like".

>>50594423
Because it's mad max? It's about Max showing up and helping some random chumps, which is the plot of all the good mad max movies.

>>50594591
>I never played TR1
Anniversary was theme park version of the game, mate

>>50594580
Maybe because Tomb Raider is on a constant and steady decline ever since Lara died in the end of the 4th game?
I mean Chronicles and AoD were both awful and horrible.
Then burgers put their lard-covered hands on the franchise, creating subpar Legend, theme park Anniversary and 3edgy5anyone Underworld.
Then Japs took over and hired even less competent burgers, who run it all with SJW stuff... and then just made Uncharted with small tits

So yeah, the series went to shit in '99, when Lara literally died in 4th game.

No your movie was just boring unless you have a hard on for semen.

>>50596597
>Your movie
You've fall asleep during watching a movie. Twice.
It means a serious glucose shortage and your organism cutting out the energy usage to minimum. Since you were sitting or even lying when watching the film, the most ergonomic option was to outright cut the juice and put you asleep.
That's just how glucose shortage-based coma works.

Trust me, I'm a pharmacist.
So get your blood checked, before you cause some accident like blacking out behind a wheel.
