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!

I saw the first 5 minutes of the theatrical cut and never finished it.  This looks better: 

 

WOw..that 2 minute trailer was waaay better than the entire 2 hour movie...did they literally cut out ALL of the best parts?

that said...they seriously need to dub Will Arnett's batman voice over for batman. 

This documentary is hysterical. I wonder if @Jeff Mack or @Ed Mack ever went there as a kid?

 

First, the fans collaborated a reanimation project of the "Mama Luigi" episode from Super Mario World. Then it was Hotel Mario on the CDi. And now it's the Zelda CDi games. The trinity of YouTube poop memes is complete.

 

This made my day. Animaniacs and Pinky & the Brain are back? Yes, please!

And now the English dub.

This would have been perfect to post for Halloween but I only now came across it. Anyway, here is an animation inspired by the recently popular Among Us in a very John Carpenter's "The Thing" tone. Well more than what the game is anyway. A bit gruesome if you're squeamish.

It didn't say they were going to charge additional money, but I can't believe they wouldn't try to for some of those releases.  Heck Disney tried to get more money out of Mulan.

I haven't heard of any premium upcharges yet, at least not for Wonder Woman '84

Excellent - I would much rather watch movies at home.

@TheOrcKing Disney cancelled the Ducktales reboot

Woot! Halfway through #3.  🤪

A fun fanimation for part of the Avatar series opening but with Pokemon.
