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!

Did you see Kong - Skull Island?  How does it compare to that?  I'm not sold on anything they've done so far.  It's been fine, but not anything I feel I have to see.

Yes, just watched it last week for the first time. 10x better, probably more than that honestly. It’s a monster movie, most of the critiques I’ve seen have commented on the characters, blah blah blah. They didn’t bother me, but that’s not what I was there for.

 

Actually, finally, we have a real monster movie.

Well that's promising.  I'll check it out when it comes to the Redbox.

 

I agree with this 100%

"Midsommar" is crazy, funny, and unsettling suspense

I'm a huge fan of Always Be My Maybe on Netflix.  Just for Keanu Reeves alone it's worth it.

 

 

 

I have been watching The Boys on Prime.  This series is so good  but rather dark

 

 

 

 

So tempted, the filming of that almost killed Coppola. Can’t imagine what they can add to it.

The series is solid, but no where near as dark as the comic. Amazon’s Comic service unlimited has most of it on their unlimited service. Truly the most messed up stuff you can imagine.

Yep, I saw a few pages of the comics.  It is pretty mess up

Who else saw the promo for LEGO MASTERS tv show? Premieres FEB5.ON FOX. Host "BATMAN" Will Arnet.  Love the AFOL encouragement. 

Looks like its had a couple seasons in the UK, Glad its here.

I saw that promo during football. It kinda looks like the set is a hybrid of the UK and Aussie series. It looks good! (They’re still using a few clips from the awesome Aussie series in promos, though.)

More Member Berries for SW fans

 

 

Watched the Irishman last night. Excellent movie. The much discussed de-aging they used didn't really work though. Those guys all looked and moved like old men. The story and performances were fantastic so it didn't matter too much. 

This makes me want to actually consider buying the Aston Martin DB5 just to see if I can mod it.

What's with the mask?  Is it Bond vs the Phantom of the Opera ?
