Movies that stick with you for some reason.

[Wes R]

Ever see a movie that for one reason or another sticks with you? I finally got to see "When The Wind Blows" on youtube and for some reason it's a very haunting movie. Even the soundtrack manages to stick with you.

I also think part of it is the style they did it. The characters are traditional animation while the settings and objects around them are miniatures that are stop motion animated if they need to move.

A great song by Iron Maiden that would work for the opening in place of David Bowie

Das Boot. Such masterful character development with an incredibly impactful ending.

And of course we have to mention Planet Of The Apes as it was so different for the time even without Chuck Heston's discovery at the end. Silent Running and Soylent green stick with you too. it must be something about that era of film making.

 

[WarPig]

Well, I gotta state the obvious: Star Wars.

Waking Ned Divine. It's probably the best "feel good" movie, for me at least. The cast is wonderful, the story is great, the cinematography is gorgeous.

Taking Chance, staring Kevin Bacon, the movie description:

Based on real-life events, Lt. Col. Michael Strobl, a volunteer military escort officer, accompanies the body of 19-year-old Marine Chance Phelps back to his hometown of Dubois, Wyoming.

I served in the Canadian Armed Forces, so this movie really got to me.

This one is very strange.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Not only is it not the best Star Trek movie, but there are a ton of reasons why this film does not work and I agree with all of them. But when I look back at all the Star Trek films I've watched, it's Star Trek: The Motion Picture that I've seen more times than any other Trek movie. It's hard to explain, but I can't help but feel a special connection to it.

I must admit, one of my favourite scenes from any Trek film is when Kirk & Scotty are doing the flyby of the new Enterprise. That scene made me fall in love with the design more than anything else I think.

For me it will always be Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

Actually, it's the lightsaber, hat, whip and jacket that really stuck with me. I remember turning a toy golf club into a lightsaber by removing the head... I also had my mom buy me a brown jacket and used a coaxial cable as a whip.

Field of Dreams
others too, of course ...

I know it's not an obvious choice but, Nightbreed. It had an awesome story but the movie did horribly because it was marketed as a typical slasher,and it leaves it open at the end. It always gets my imagination going. I have to watch it every couple weeks and I don't know why.

Also Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. With cgi,I just don't think a movie like that is going to be made again. Everyone takes the easy way out in movies nowadays and it shows. I was devastated as a kid when Jim Henson died.

 

[Wes R]

Oddly enough the 4 animated shorts that came on the disc with I Am Legend. They're far superior and have more impact than the real movie (which looks great other than **** poor cgi infected) especially the one in india called "Shelter" that was written by Orson Scott Card.

Dont you mean Star Trek 09?



:lol I kid, I kid!

Waah?! I didn't even know there were 4 animated shorts on the I Am Legend disc! I'll have to check that out.

You can also find them on youtube easily enough. They're all animated stories out of the I am Legend: awakening graphic novel.

BTTF.
For some strange reason, I like 60s (I was born in 70s) since I was around Junior High.
This movie just bring me all the things that I like:
1. Sci-fi
2. The music
3. Cool car
4. Future look (BTTF 2)
5. Mad scientist
6. and on and on.....(except playing guitar)

Ferris Bueller's day off.
Unleashed the naughty side of me.

 

[Wes R]

Oddly enough a handful of the 1980s Twilight zone stuck with me even after not seeing them for years. It was just certain scenes in them that stuck with me even to now.

2 Girls 1 Cup.

It never leaves the mind...

Cannibal Holocaust -
The music is just haunting - mixed with the snuff factor - animals were really killed in the same arena we're seeing people get eaten - it freaked me out -

Henry: potrait of a serial killer. The violence was shot small and ugly. Again freaked me out.

The World According to Garp: it truly reminds me of my own life ( only my wife never bite a guys meat sock off in a Buick -- as far as I know). But i always watch it when its on.

Murder by Death: saw it with my mommy when i was little and we both laughed so hard we spilt our popcorn.
