Must Watch Movies Recommended By Digitians

[eggman]

classic examples include the gotfather trilogy and the bourne series,I mean if you haven't read the book then you simply can't understand half of the movie which is itself just 1% of the book.

Bourne sseries???
Did you even read it???? Both film s(specially 2nd and 3rd) are entirely different except for title. As for Godfather Trilogy, books are great but the movie is a Standalone. You surely miss many things, but you can get 100% of whats shown in movie. A good example will be HP Series. You surely wont get a thing without reading the book.

I always try to get the meaning out of the movie, the crew behind the movie is not stupid , they wanted us to see something that they experienced and put forward in the form of a movie to give it a visual and aural shape. Yeah but then their are some who just make movie for entertainment value with lots of plot holes.

I dont really like mindless action and flimsy dialogs.

Though I do like some light movies like Austin Powers etc. But yeah those are only for when am feelin too much bored. But yeah slap stick humor kills me and skil flick do. I try to stay away from them as long as i can.

Good to hear your thoughts T159, I dont know...... may be I expect a lot from hollywwood and that can be the reason I scrutinize the movies I see so much. Man I tell you people here are just discuessing the names and few experience bout movies, just go through the threads of IMDB and see how Fanatically people discuess, going absolutely in to all the aspects of a movie. I love to discuess there. One thread I enjoyed most was for SAW III and IV. Man, u cant even imagin how intensly people scrutinized the saw series and it was fun to discuess coz the movie series itself was quite intricate and integrated. Thats what I want to do here, but alas, after just few comments and people usually do not bother to discuess the movie......

I feel when you watch a movie there can be so much to discuess about it before you finnaly move on to the other one.......I dont know, thats how I think............

BTW recetly watched Fracture, Very very decently crafted movie, its a murder mysery/investigation/court room drama genre, anyone who love this genre would not be dissappointed at all, but the movie has its flaws as uaual but I'd rather not discuess I guess...........AFA the entertainment factor goes you would be glued to the entire movie for sure........for knowldge sake its been directed by the same director who directed Primal Fear Another f**kin awsome move...........

dude, there is absolutely nothing similar between the Bourne books and the movies...read the books only if u want to marvel at how different the two are

Nothing Similar.....I'd say that would be an over statement......agreed lot of difference but the main plot remains the same. Atleast for the first one coz thats the only one I read.......

Any ideas on when The Godfather Trilogy will be released in Blu-ray ?

[drgrudge]

I just compared HP but whatever be the movie, books are a better deal.

Mario Puzo's Godfather, J R Tolkein's Lord of the Rings simply blows you off. One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest is one of my favourite movies but after I read the book, felt the movie kinda sucks.

I'm yet to see a movie which is equal to books.

[The Outsider]

^ Perfume was close, like 20% , gonna check out One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.

That's why I am more on IMDB in terms of discussing movies & now even games rather than anywhere else.People create extremely interesting threads & discuss very much in detail.I like to be a lurker out there & at times post my doubts.There are some that are usual nimrods but many which are distinctly genuine members.I remember a person in Terminator thread who was so much into the movie that you could literally see him posting the whole movie script for every question that was asked.

That is something what I like.People who know exactly what they are talking about & know what they say.Hence you need to visit those boards to get a heads up on their ideas.I can safely say that's it's the best discussion boards & the best movie database site on the planet.I have got so many horror movie recommendations from that site.You should check out some discussions on the movie The 40 Year Old Virgin & you'll be amazed at them posting their real life incidents too.It's something which you can relate to in some way or the other & feel good to read.

dude, i've read the books and there's very little similar...apart from the name of Jason Bourne, and the names of some projects, its mostly all different. another thing...each of the three books are complete in themselves..i.e. the books aren't a trilogy

[Faun]

watched The Great Escape, Moulin Rouge, Saving Private Ryan and Amityville Horror

Watch the first 3 and last one is pure crap, cheap scares. A kids nightmare...hehehe

[a_medico]

man hav u seen all the movies You seem to be a movie harvester machine

I used to be pretty jobless then. I used to engage myself in taking pangas with taxi/rickshawalas or with people on net on various forums for no reason at all. When I was done with it I switched over to movies for good. Gonna be jobless for few more days to come so I am again watching movies. Next on my list is Marathon

Amityville Horror is pure crap, cheap scares. A kids nightmare...hehehe

I found it quite ok when I watched it a year back.

One unusual movie which I found quite scary was The Abandoned. Worth a watch one time.

dont ask what I have read and whaT I haven't,I am(or used to be) a book freak.

Movies just show what he does,books explains what he is thinking every moment,how his reflexes work,I mean the level of detail is simply amazing.A chase scene that takes 1-2 minute in the movie has been explained to well in the book.books and movies aren't the same but the plot and bourne is the same.I have been a robert ludlum fan since then.

I guess you haven't read the books.


The godfather books(or even other books by mario puzo) can't simply be compared to the movies.The movies are great,great actimg,everything on mass scale,But for a guy like me who read the book before watching the movie,The movies are just 1% of the book.If someone ask me whether he should wath the godfather movie or read the books instead,I would suggest him the books,godfather series is the top rated movies,but mario puzo is one of the smartest author ever.He will never let you guess whats coming.So mario puzo's grandfather books>the godfather trilogy.

Movies just show what he does,books explains what he is thinking every moment,how his reflexes work.

That's the matter with every movie based on Books, not perticularly with bourne series.Its obvious since it takes 15-20 hrs to finish a book. But why do think Plot for Books and Film is same, is beyond me.I've never seen Carlos in the whole film trilogy,which was a(or the most?) essential part in book.

So mario puzo's grandfather books>the godfather trilogy.

No arguing there, its true. But what I'm saying that even if you haven't read the Book you'll perfectly understand the Film, unlike HP movies where its not possible as it cuts down on very essential parts.

I just saw 40 year old virgin.Great movie.Enjoyed every second of it.

[Ethan_Hunt]

Anyone for Ironman? Me planning to watch it this weekend.Summer TP flick.

[jal_desai]

[iMav]

hey guys any1 seen/read Capote

The Exorcism of Emily Rose One of the spine chilling and creepy movie I hav seen this year, of course its not abt cheap monster scares, its the fear of unknown and unexplained possibility.

I remember a similar incident happened last year to a friend of my best friend (he is my old buddy who helped me in harsh times). What actually happened was that one of his colleague in hostel suffered from the same phenomenon and while he was in that state his voice changed, abnormal amount of physical force he felt and was able to speak Arabi which he never ever learned ! I just laughed off but now it seems to be haunting.

[iMav]

^^ is it the court room 1? where the priest whoconducted the exorcism is prosecuted or stuff like that ?

[ajayritik]

Watched Manorama Six Feet Under today! Was a nice movie!

[Faun]

^^ is it the court room 1? where the priest whoconducted the exorcism is prosecuted or stuff like that ?

yeah

[iMav]

was a cool movie, saw it in broad daylight with commercial breaks so no fear

The Exorcism of Emily Rose One of the spine chilling and creepy movie I hav seen this year, of course its not abt cheap monster scares, its the fear of unknown and unexplained possibility.

Totally agree. Its one of my fav horror movies. The babe is too creepy. I remember watching it at 2am in the night with earphones. Quite an experience!

I think An American Haunting is based on similar theme. Not sure. Gotto watch it.

To recall a few horror movies which I have enjoyed :

The Abandoned
The exorcism of Emiley Rose
The Hamiltons
The Ring
The tale of two sisters
28 days later
Resident evil
[REC]
The descent
Silent Hill
The others
The sixth sense

should be few more...


p.s - can someone suggest me a nice set of earphones for watching movies on laptop? pm should be fine as i dont want to disturb this thread.

[iMav]

^^ the sixth sense is a master piece

[Faun]

^^the fact that the audio tape was from the actual exorcism terrifies me

hav seen

The exorcism of Emiley Rose
The Ring
A tale of two sisters
28 days later
Resident evil
The descent
Silent Hill
The sixth sense

Requiem seems to be another based on Annelise Michel (Emily Rose) and is told from another perspective.

Btw Sony MDR earphones are for some serious movie buffs.

I hav this one for PC (remind you I sleep with them while listening to music and the sound quality is better, over 2.5 years of happy listening)

and this one for PMP (there seems to be vulnerable but am celebrating over 6 months with them)
http://www.sony.co.in/product/mdr-e1...ite=hp_en_IN_i

Probably this one will be better (seems to be a more refined version)

yep,you can watch the movie and understand whats happening,but you wont get the fine details which,in the first place, made the book so good.

as far as HP goes,never followed the series,not any book,not any movie.I like being in real world.

as we are on the topic of horror movies:

Horror Movies Make The Perfect Date

[chicha]

sorry to break this horror movie talk.

Mad money and Death at funeral are very good comedy movies.
must watch

[d1g1t]

MUST'NT WATCH - 2012 Doomsday
The storyline horribly strays from the topic
