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.

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.

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.

An experimental black comedy-drama (animated) Follow Bill as his mind begins to warp and he slips further and further from reality. A somewhat disturbing take on mental health disorders.

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

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
