Akin to the "Musical Picks" topic, I want to hear what your all time favourite movies/television shows are. It can be anything from action to drama to sports to romance (who watches that anyway though?). Don't be shy and don't be mean to other members, even if they really did enjoy Superbaby-Geniuses or whatever that piece of crap was called

 

I'll start off with a couple of my favs; I find most of the ones I put down are great films all together, but have shining endings.

 

Blood Diamond (Thriller/Drama): Leo DiCaprio picks up a sick south african accent in this eye-opening thriller/drama. Great music but if you're a Leo fan, you can probably already guess how it ends lol.

Friday Night Lights (Sports): I'm not a football guy, but the cinematography and story made this a refreshing change to the typical, predictable, sports movie. Plus, the instrumental music by Explosions in the Sky fits perfect (note: the trailer is crap, watch the film).

The Lord of The Rings Trilogy (Fantasy): If you are on a Lego forum where Lego LOTR products are frequently discussed, you probably already know how awesome the films are. If you don't, I'll leave it up to the mods to immediately revoke your membership to BrickPicker (jk).

 

And last I'll just end with my favourite TV show, which is probably going into its final season this year, The Mentalist (crime procedeural): this murder-a-episode series focuses on a former psychic who is now tracking the serial killer who murdered his family. The show can be light and funny, but when the serial killer ("red john") gets involved, it can get pretty unnerving. The series has spent 5 years tracking down murderers so feels a bit tired, but it is still my favourite. And, I'll post a trailer for the 3rd season finally:

Phew, if you got through all that... you don't get bored easily, do you? Now tell me your picks!

season 4 for Boondocks just announced starting in Jan.

Boondocks is f'ing funny. Racist but funny all the same. Uncle Ruckus is my favorite crazy ass character on the show. :lol:

after watching a couple episodes I have to watch my mouth it's like playing racing games and then getting in the car and not speeding

For all you Star Wars fans/collectors, Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) released some set photos from the original trilogy. Kinda fun.

Thanks to the DVD releases, I've been watching as well as getting a chance to see from the very beginning of this TV series. I also forgot how much Marg Helgenberger could make anything even a cheap dress look expensive.

I keep getting more amped up with how this new take on the classic Sleeping Beauty will turn out.

 

Transformers - Age of Extinction

That Transformers trailer looks wrong on so many levels.
Poor Grimlock has been "Bay"-ed.....

Here is the greatest superhero in the name of advertising....PEPSI MAN!!!!!

I just noticed now I am a Chief Brick Officer with my 7500 posts....and still I have the Moderator avatar. Argh, dangit! This is torture!!!!

looks like a name haha

Nazi

looks like a Nazi haha

Haha, it kind of does.

I am up this late watching season 2 of House of Cards.  I just finished episode 7.  Damn this show is so addictive.  Kevin Spacey is always at his best playing bad / questionable character. 

 

ETA: US version.  I have heard good things about UK version, but 1 political drama per season is all I can handle

Beat me to it!   Good old Jimmy Kimmel. Looks actually pretty funny! Here it is embedded:

It just confuses me.

Looks intriguing... and different. 
Can't wait to see it. 

One more episode of TRUE DETECTIVE.  This is how a TV series should be written, acted, directed, etc.  The continuity and twists, OMG.  Nevermind the plot/crime, it is how you get to the conclusion

ok bored again with tv.  looking for some obscure anime (as seen a lot) with great story.  calling out TOK but any suggestions welcome

Obscure, huh? Well there was a movie some years ago called Tokyo Godfathers. It was one of those few anime titles more based in reality than the usual wackiness with a story revolving around three oddball characters trying to get a lost infant back to its parents. There was humor to go with the serious tone and I enjoyed it. The trailer here doesn't exactly make the best of a convincing argument to go see it but I still would recommend it.

 

Anyway, you seemed to like Black Lagoon so on a similar note for series' would be Hellsing (vampire that kills other vampires), Gungrave (dead guy killing mutants in his quest for revenge and honor), and the classic Crying Freeman (a former innocent man turned assassin). Crying Freeman is a classic for good reason but, uh, there are at least two 'adult' scenes I can recall. Not like you see anything but it is most certainly implied. :whistle:

Naked and Afraid returns tonight.

Yay

Naked and Afraid returns tonight.

Yay

Looking forward to this one also. I wish Dual Survivor would come back. That bare foot guy cracks me up.
