Always looking for some film [old/new] to watch. Please post favorites, etc. Links if available ...

The Irishman


Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci star in Martin Scorsese’s THE IRISHMAN, an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th century. Spanning decades, the film chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries and connections to mainstream politics.


THE IRISHMAN REVIEW – A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE
The Irishman REVIEW - A Cinematic Masterpiece | Cultured Vultures



The film is a masterful piece of cinematic craft from not only Scorsese, but also his longtime editor Thelma Schoonmaker. The film’s length is rarely felt after a very measured opening, and the primary reason is Schoonmaker’s work. Scenes are paced to perfection, and the character interactions and dynamics are given the time to fully inhabit the screen as much as the actors do in their individual roles.

What taste movie you looking for? I’ll try to think of some if it fits the genre.
 
It's crazy how many people haven't seen or even heard of these two. Very underappreciated movies.
You would like Rock N Rolla and Revolver as well. Guy Ritchie is the director there as well.

Lucky number slevin is a good one, I think we like the same stuff.

Really liked the new joker movie, kinda reminds me of American Psycho which is another I love.

Honestly it's hard to think of my favorites, I have so many. I'll always love all the StarWars movies, Dark Knight Trilogy and the Godfather I & II

I actually haven't seen the Godfather series. :S

Nobody mentioned Shawshank Redemption?! That's a sin!

Dirty rotten scoundrels
Ronin
Pulp fiction
Four rooms
Reservoir dogs
Strange brew
Fifth element
Honestly there are too many to list
