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!

The anime series of my childhood came alive on screen !! Looks like this adaptation is very faithful to the original series.  Crazy what love and passion could bring to screen.  Good job the Philippines !!!

A little background on Voltus V: An alien race (people with horns) invaded Earth.  Voltus V was last line of defense for Earth.  The mech was a combination of 5 aircrafts piloted by 5 young pilots (3 of them are brothers).  Unlike other mech series of the era, the mech did not always win the fight with the big monsters.  A lot of times they had to retreat to figure out better ways to fight.  But the best part of the series (IMHO) was the intrigues and politics of the alien race, all of the (unexpected) love & betrayals.  As you can see on the trailer, they spent a lot of time showing off the aliens' planet.

Trailer with sub.  The CGI is pretty good

Close to eight years I think waiting for this indie short to be finished if ever. Just a couple more months now.

I'm sure that would go over well...perhaps followed by a Harvey Weinstein hotel room set?

This is his last MCU movie as he is off to head DC movies productions.  MCU is F'd as far as I am concerned

Yeah just thought you were doubting this one.  Peacemaker just proved he is pretty ********* up so probably for the best Disney wise.

Like I said, GotG is my favorite MCU series.  Disney already proved they did not know how to handle GotG without Gunn.  So whatever happens on GotG 3, I am not looking back

I mean after seeing peacemaker I can see why they did it but then to go back on it and him doing that was like well yeah I am pretty ********* up and you're gonna deal with it.  Suicide squad too.  Kinda funny how it all played out.  We're gonna cancel you for what you said. Oh no well take you back then release both of those as f yous 

Kinda like Disney doing a 100 year commerical thanking the workers after you just laid off 7k right before earnings

I saw a poster for this maybe last year and thought it was a mockup joke. Only to realize Pooh is public domain now, so this happened.
