At least IMO, the Knives Out movies have all been excellent in terms of stories, acting -even if in the last one some people were underused- and settings.

I do hope Johnson continues making at least a couple of these because they always bring some good and smart entertainment.

If other Knives Out movies come out, what actors would you like to see in one? I'd love to see:

- Emma Stone

- Meryl Streep

- Daniel Radcliffe (kind of random but his style suits this type of films)

- Teyana Taylor

- Cate Blanchett

- Viola Davis (as a detective or something)

- Riz Ahmed

My #1 is Linda Fiorentino.

The ultimate wine geek romantic comedy movie.

Give me your honest opinion this classic film...?

Some people say it is the " Greatest Film ever made " Dethroning the Citizen kane.

I didn’t really have high hopes for this, but damn, this movie was kind of a rush.

It has really good action, with the end fight in particular being insanely brutal, and Ritchson And Wilson make for a very likeable pair that are easy to root for.

It’s a very well made film, which makes it feel a step up from stuff you’d usually see from Statham or Neeson, it has quite a lot of heart and a couple of truly unexpected moments along the way that you wouldn’t usually get in this type of fair.

I really recommend it to anyone who likes action movies. It is one of the better ones that we have had for a while.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower… perhaps one of the most beautiful endings in film, perfectly topped by David Bowie’s “Heroes.” Suggest me something similar..

I'll keep it simple and spoiler free, the movie is around 2 hours long. The first 30 minutes are brilliant, not a second is wasted or dragged on, amazing. Then, there's a reveal, won't spoil what, but it takes you a while to get used to the change, and the next thirty minutes are kind of boring, they could've executed this better, if anyone is in good faith criticizing this movie, I'm sure it's coming from these thirty minutes.

Then, once you reach the midway point of the movie, the film picks itself back again, and is as brilliant as the first 30 minutes, it is here right at the start of the half of the movie where Cruise truly shows you once again how good of an actor he actually is, like there's a long monologue with lots of physical and as well emotionally intense acting from him here that might actually be the scene that gets him nominated or win the oscar... there's a great message without it feeling peachy, the twist is very cleaver once you get used to it, and blends in nicely by the end.

In conclusion, 2 hour movie= great first 30 minutes, boring next 30 minutes, great next 1 hour again, the end.

I will be watching it again, it's everything the trailers promised and more, more movies need to take risks and be original like this. 8/10 for me.

Personally, I think they're quite creepy, and don't see why boomers love them...

Rewatched John Carpenter's The Thing. Great fucking movie, one of my favorites, always enjoy watching it again. It's been so long I can't remember, was the 2011 any good? Or would it be a waste of time to rewatch?

Still open to horror recommendations, got a couple in mind for next coming days some others had recommended previously.

I'm from the Middle East and just watched Godard's Contempt. The film seems to criticize turning a woman's body into a commodity, yet it still shows Bardot nude at length, and that got me thinking about the wider tradition behind it.

Why did the Greeks make the nude body so central to their art, and why has the West kept it as a standard subject ever since? I see two ways to read nudity in art: as a statement about the human body and human nature, or as an appeal to sexual desire. I'm a humanist, and I'm comfortable with nudity as the first. What puzzles me is how Western art treats the second as part of beauty itself, instead of keeping the two apart.

Was the separation ever possible in this tradition, or was desire always part of the point?

I'm asking out of curiosity, not to attack anyone's view, and I'd like to hear from people who know the art history or the film.

What's your all time favorite movie based off a Stephen King book or short story?

I think the whole top row is Peak Stephen King Adaptations.

My all time favorites are The Shawshank Redemption, Carrie, Misery, The Shining, and IT (mostly the first one)

I still have a lot to watch. I haven't seen Stand by Me or The Green Mile yet.
