Movies...

What? You want some recommendings for movies?
Sure.
My personal video library currently contains ~450 movies, and ~50 TV series.
What are you interested in exactly?
Just a tip for the weekend?
What do you prefer?
A plot that is told in ten minutes, but 85 minutes pot shots taken from helicopters while flaming cars wrecked, and machos talking in sententious sayings, saving young, half naked, naive women, and at the end the bad guy always dies?
Or more a Kammerspiel: three people sitting in a room for 180 minutes, having a discussion about the human in the modern world and the meaning of life?
A series to watch for the next months?
Sitcom or detective stories?
Or something more sophisticated like the kind of
"From Fritz Lang to the Hollywood classics of the 50s",
"The change of women's role in the history of the movie",
"How movies influence the memory of history",
or more like "Why to me the Oscar is no award I take serious"?
?

I think, the amount of new started off topic threads is getting out of hands, especially while for some topice there already are such threads, sometimes even already twice or more times.

When it first came out (available only in theaters right now), I think it was the AP that said they were surprised at how good it was. But, on Rotten Tomatoes, early movie reviewers of newspaper critics gave it 8% (very bad) while users gave it 99% (one of the highest I've seen).

However, this shows how one cannot trust Rotten Tomatoes for reviews in the first place and I personally only look at it as a first test of whether I'd want to see a movie.

8% is not "very bad" for Rotten Tomatoes. There is no word for it. It's the impossible most lowest fence totally sucks stop ever. Bad, really bad movies are around 30...40%. And I bet even two hours of white noise would get >10%.
But with the 99% (which on the other hand is also too good to be real) you also see how Rotten Tomatoes eventually works, and what can be done, when you have access to produce opinion poll power. :cool:
Anyway I'm convinced this - *uhem* - masterpiece - (could be they regret Leni Riefenstahl couldn't do it; alas Charlton Heston is also dead; would have been best choice for playing the president) will "win" at least two oscars: for best movie, and best actor (or maybe Gianni Infantino will present the Herman, FIFA's new movie award)
If not,... - well, personally I wouldn't miss LA, but then they can be happy if the Pulitzer Prize winner only fires all Hollywood staff, and bomb some of jury's houses.
 
Lately I prefer European cinema. Here are some recent productions worth checking out.

Luchshiye v Adu (Best in Hell). Simply a masterpiece. Furthermore, neither side is portrayed as "good" or "evil".
