For 4M

Tell me the best movie that you've never seen anyone talk about on the TL and explain the premise.

[BeatsHaveADream]

Honey we shrunk ourselves. Parents leave to go on a parents vacation. Leave the kids in charge. On their way to leave they accidentally shrink themselves. Kids just think they left anyways. Parents gotta get kids attention while maneuvering downstairs and away from bugs. Kids throw a party which doesnt make it easier for all this. Parents see how responsible the kids can be and learn lessons. Kids see how much they still miss their parents and learn lessons. Parents finally get attention of kids. Kids unshrink parents. Alls well

Bald guy addicted to gambling decides to quit his job and become a baseball player. Some fat fuck is his assistant and he hates him. He plays golf one day, suddenly disappears, and the fat guy digs a crater in the golf course. They abandon the plot point about the golf course and how much it costs to fix. Then, the bald guy enters some far away land and has to play a basketball game to save fictitious people. If he doesn’t win, he becomes a slave on top of a mountain.

Sorry to Bother You. A movie about telemarketing and society. If it sounds boring, I assure you that it's not. Very relevant to current day as it only came out a couple years ago.

The Magnificent 7 (remake). I watched it last night, its one of those movies that each time you watch it, the movie gets better IMO. It has a solid cast, a group of 7 "Cowboys" take a stand against an evil tyrant who has pillaged and taken many villages. The 7 + a widow of a murdered man (by Bogue) and the towns people take a stand to end the reign of Bartholomew Bogue.

Kazaam. Big Homie Shaq is a genie and be granting wishes and shit.

[NCツ]

The original is fucking awesome too

also don’t watch any movies so I’ll just talk about a couple good ones I saw recently

1. Icarus - documentary about doping in competitive sports. fun but informative watch.

2. Uncut Gems - (I think that’s the title?) I saw Sandler in it and figured it would be a wash but it turned out pretty good. Gambling addict keeps making a bunch of NBA bets even with his life on the line.

[Username]

Ngl I didn’t like uncut gems.

a movie I never see get talked about though is the departed. Matt Damon plays good cops but he’s dirty af, and DiCaprio is undercover but he’s a good guy with dirt bag family

[Catdude]

The Count of Monte Cristo.

The ultimate revenge movie. Dude gets betrayed by his best friend and is sent to an island jail for like 10 years or some shit. Learns how to fight, escapes, joins up with pirates and finds a ton of treasure. He assumes a new identity and seeks revenge against his former best friend who stole his girl.

Extinction:


A man's home life starts to suffer when he has recurring nightmares about a destructive and unknown force. He must soon find the strength to save his wife and two daughters when extraterrestrials launch a devastating attack on the planet. Basically like clover field but with a fantastic twist that really makes you think.

The Great Hack. All about Cambridge Analytica, a consulting firm that specializes in influencing mass behavior through psychological operations, and how they illegally accessed personal data through a partnership with Facebook and a data breach. Some of the stuff Cambridge Analytica has gotten away with is terrifying, including influencing and basically deciding elections.

[Eberlicious]

Athlete A. Documentary about USA Gymnastic sex scandles in 2016. Very well done

[monta8curry]

Haven't watched many movies recently, but a couple of the 30 for 30s stood out to me, namely Broke and The U.

Broke talked about why athletes go broke so often (maybe less so now, but in the 90s and 2000s mainly).

The U talked about obviously Miami University football and how they changed the culture and landscape of college football.

[GB]

My dc was the movie

The Lives of Others
German movie in 1984 East Germany, the main character is a member of the secret police who sets a surveillance on a couple and falls in love with the woman. Very powerful movie, dramatic but not melo.

A douchebag weasel stands in the way of inheriting his fathers bazillion company. And the fact that he never graduated high school. Can Billy work his way through grade school in time to convince his dad to give him a chance?!

[mngopher35]

I don't watch tons of movies lol...

Recently watched Uncle Buck, an old classic where a family death/emergency forces the questionable uncle to watch over the kids. Uncle and kids obviously clash in funny fashion.

Billy Madison was filmed in my home town. So was the first IT remake. Pretty much all we are known for aside from crackheads

[AiRuPtHeRe™]

I don’t even watch movies, just series shows pretty much. I guess I’d give my vote to bird box. Imagine being blindfold and having to navigate through woods with 2 kids.

[hokeyrules]

The King

it is about King Henry V before he becomes one of the best known Kings. As well how he takes over the throne and defeats the French in battle during the 100 years war

The Terminal by Tom Hanks comes to mind but I've raved about it on my pod.

The Intern with Deniro and Hatheway??
