Movie Recommendations
Please recommend your favorite movies and movies that you've recently watched and liked a lot for me to check out. I've been needing some new movies to watch.
Two movies I really love are "Pi" (1999) by Aronofsky, and "Waking Life" (2001) by Linklater. Both are quite dreamy and cool in their own way.
One that I watched recently that was fairly good is the "The Way of the gun" (2000) by McQuarrie. It's like a flick from back when Tarantino was great.

Recent movies I've seen:
The Revenant - I enjoyed this movie but it wasn't one of the best. As far as the movie goes it's mostly an Epic Journey type film. It features stunning visuals and landscapes and extraordinary acting by DiCaprio and Tom Hardy. There are long stretches just showing DiCaprio journeying and struggling to survive and it probably isn't everyone's cup of tea but if you have a few hours to spare I'd say it's worth a watch for sure still.
Hateful 8 - This move was good. I didn't really have any expectations for it going in but upon leaving I realised that it was almost exactly what I wanted to see. The start is a bit slow and most of the movie ends up feeling like a stage play but other than that it was funny, violent and tense in parts with classic Tarantino style.
Deadpool - Great movie. Funny and original. Best thing I've seen in a long time. Not much more to say, an instant favorite of mine.
Zootopia - Solid family movie. Disney nails it again with beautiful visuals, great characters, intriguing setting, interesting story, and touches a number of touchy political issues and does it well. Plenty of references and jokes too.
Jungle Book (2016) - Nothing groundbreaking but as far as a live adaption movie goes this was good. Again, visually very pretty and immersive. Would have liked the singing to be done a bit more and sort of featured a bit more? It was very in movie and casually woven in. It's inspired me to start reading the jungle book again though and if you have a certain place in your heart for the original from your childhood then you'll love this.
10 Clvoerfield Lane: I enjoyed all of this movie except the end (keep in mind I hadn't seen the first one though). Good thriller and a lot of fun to watch. Goodman's character had me constantly questioning what I believed and there was super tense moments.
Batman v Superman: I heard bad things but I wanted to give it a watch to make up my own opinion. And yea, what you've heard is correct. The plot is all revealed in the trailer, the bad guys suck, deus ex machina, lazy tie in to the rest of the justice league, questionable events in the last scene of the movie etc etc etc. The saving grace is Batman by Affleck as many others have said but I would have actually liked to see more of him even. Most of Batman's combat scenes are fantastic and he does a great job being the Batman with questionable morals. I'd say don't bother with this one but if they decide to make a standalone Batman film with Affleck then I would see that 100%.

Just watched Ex Machina and Cold In July, I recommend both of those.
Hateful 8 and Deadpool are great movies also recommend them.
I rewatched and Spriggan it's an AWESOME anime, it's very fluid and has tons of dope anime action, anyone who likes gritty battle anime should watch this.
