šŸŽ„ Must Watch Movies List for Zoomers

Iā€™m not really in to crime/gangster films or much of a Scorsese fan either (I like science fiction). I only watched his other movies because I enjoyed Taxi Driver but mentioned his other movies that were worth a watch like Casino.

I suppose itā€™s all about taste and maybe I shouldnā€™t hate or criticise aviation movies because if youā€™re in to planes/aviation (which Iā€™m not) then itā€™s a hit selling niche for those who are.

Blade Runner is a ā€˜slow movieā€™ (that seemed boring to many viewers) but I loved it because itā€™s my kind of film and taste (sci-fi). I even own the Blade Runner audiobook ā€˜Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheepā€™ which they say is superior to the movie. The story of the copper (Rick Deckard) in the movie is around 20% of the passage/few chapters from the book. Whereas the rest of the book tells the story about the dystopian world of how citizens were effected by climate change, cybercrime, renegade AI/androids (in depth), new age emerging religionā€™s, the loss of humanity within people, how the population coped with life in a post-apocalyptic nuclear war and much moreā€¦

Never followed the Lethal Weapon trilogy but seen some of the second sequel. I thought the ā€˜toilet bombā€™ scene was quite funny where Roger (played by Danny Glover) was sat on the toilet (pants down) and wasnā€™t able to get off the toilet because there was a bomb strapped to it that would detonate if he sat up off it. The bomb squad had to come in and awkwardly rescue him (along with his ā€˜buddy copā€™) :laughing:

ā€œIā€™m gonna die on the toilet arenā€™t I?ā€ā€¦ Lethal Weapon 2: Toilet Bomb - YouTube

Look at Ricoā€™s creepy face around 4:23 and 4:58 lol

Iā€™ve seen Scarface a few times, but I wouldnā€™t say I was a fan of it. I found it alright, but I preferred Carlitoā€™s Way instead, to be honest. Thatā€™s another inspiration for the making of GTA: Vice City if you donā€™t know, and Ken Rosenbergā€™s is even in it too.

Do you remember that scene with Lalin when it gets caught wearing a wire? Heā€™s likeā€¦ ā€œI shit my pants everydayyy maaann!.. come on maaan!ā€ :laughing:

If you liked Scarface then youā€™ll enjoy this movie too (Carlitoā€™s Way). Itā€™s not a sequel or anything, itā€™s just a spin-off.

Have you ever seen Donnie Brasco?

Al Pacino is in this too, along with Johnny Depp and Michael Madsen. I would say this particularly has some heavy emotional scenes, itā€™s a great story.

Basically, Donnie Brasco (Johnny Depp) is this undercover FBI agent whoā€™s infiltrated this high-ranking mafia crime family in New York that is supposed to be very dangerous. He posed as this actor with a fake persona and then later on developed this emotional bond or relationship with these gangsters, especially with his crime partner or buddy ā€˜Leftyā€™ (Al Pacino). Eventually he got too involved with them and began steering away from his undercover mission as the gangster life was dragging him in or altering his identity and personal character.

Did you ever get the chance to watch The Irishman?

I havenā€™t seen it myself but heard that it didnā€™t have the same ā€˜punchā€™ as the classics did have.

Nope, I havenā€™t watched that either.

My movie watching came close down to maybe 15 new movies per year, in the last few years, I have had years when I have watched 5 new moviesā€¦

When I was a kid and a teen/up to my 20s, I used to watch Lots of movies.

I know that I want to start watching new stuff and I guess that itā€™s a matter of time before Iā€™ll watch more movies/year.

Do you know I also wouldnā€™t mind watching A Bronx Tale (1993) since I havenā€™t seen that before either but heard really good things about. Itā€™s not epic but itā€™s a nice hidden gem everyone forgets about that anyone should consider on their watch list.

Check this outā€¦ a very emotional scene between father and son. The working class man is the tough guy!

For those who love well made occult horror stuff.
This is an older, but amazingly well done creepy movie.
Thatā€™s how movies in this genre should be done!
Director: Michael Mann

Do NOT watch the trailer if you want the full experience.
Of course, movie is not suitable for children of any age.

@SoulStar33 Movie takes place in Romania.

Also with an amazing soundtrack:
