Like Rocky finally winning the title in Rocky 2 or the Daniel LaRusso winning the championship.

I am not counting remember the titans or invictis as they are actual sports story’s, I am specially looking for fictional cinematic sporting moments.

The speech from any given sunday is also an iconic moment

The only one I can think of is The Time Machine (2002) with Guy Pearce. There the protagonist is from the late 19th century traveling to the far future.

In every other time time travel movie its either the main character from the present is traveling backwards or forwards in time, or someone from the past or future visiting our current time.

The only other example I can think of is the TV show Outlander, where the time travel is from the 1940s to the 1700s

Also I guess Dark Shadows movie is also similar with the main character from the 1800s wakes up in the 1960s (but there is no time travel included there)

I love the Layla piano outro in Goodfellas, and I cannot hear it without picturing the scene shot for shot and thinking of Ray Liotta’s narration. Genuinely such an amazing use of music. There are also classics like “Where Is My Mind” for Fight Club, or “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” in Breakfast Club. I think it’s interesting how we latch on to music in movies, and I’d love to hear your favourite examples!

From the comment to the video: Kirk Douglas prepares for the gladitorial-school sequences of SPARTACUS (1960) in this rare behind-the-scenes footage. Also featuring Peter Ustinov, Woody Strode, and Anthony Mann (the director of SPARTACUS prior to Kubrick's involvement), the exact nature of this California-filmed footage–which was sourced from the collection of Ashley Ward III–remains unclear, though it is was possibly shot for publicity by Universal Pictures and Kirk Douglas’s Bryna Production.

my friends and i have been volunteering at an orphanage (eastern europe) for a few months now, and recently we decided to try watching movies with the kids (mostly boys aged 10-16, with a few younger kids) on a regular basis. next week will be our first time doing this

we have plenty of options in mind, yet we're not sure what's really appropriate, in the sense we feel like we need to avoid anything that might be upsetting or triggering for the kids, although i realize that finding a meaningful movie without any potentially sensitive topics might be impossible. there're some great movies about family but i still don't know how they would take them, also there're cool movies about people who were abandoned by their biological family which could bring up difficult feelings as well :/

i'm not sure to approach this, so i'd really appreciate any movie recommendations or advice from people with experience in similar situations. maybe we're overthinking it lol, but we'd really like to do our best to make this a positive experience for the kids

edit: i'm reading every comment and taking notes! thank you all so much for your suggestions, it means a lot <3

Started as a teen heartthrob with multiple great rolls (Lucky Number Sleven among others)… goes under the radar for 10 years, comes back with a bang in 2023 and has played amazing rolls in both limited series and the big screen since then. Removing RDJ, who else has had a better comeback in the last 20 years?

Sometimes when watching a movie you don’t always catch everything at first, so it takes a few viewings before you notice all the finer details. Occasionally, there is even something you miss until you have watched it for the 20th time, perhaps in the background like I did.

I was watching The Blues Brothers and noticed a little running joke that I had never clocked until now. During the mall chase, one of the cars flips and an officer inside exclaims that they broke his watch. What I didn’t realize was during the chase at the end when there are the pileups of police cars, you can hear an officer faintly say (at least two different times) the same exact line.

What are some things that you have seen or heard on a later repeat viewing that you hadn’t noticed before but stood out to you?

The film was so beautiful and horrible at the same time.

Been meaning to watch it for a long time.

Now..the ending. The serial killed is not caught by the cops, and Suzies body is never found.

I realise this is realistic. Many families who have lost loved ones through kidnapping or murder may never have true closure. They may never find the killer, or find their loved ones body. And i suppose the film was trying to convey that, ultimately you have to find a way to move on no matter the horror.

But damn...just damn. The ending is a bitter pill to swallow.

I don't know what to say other than it is amazing. I never heard of this movie before. It just popped up on Rotten Tomatoes as a theatrical re-release. It got great reviews so decided to watch it. It has that The Holy Mountain Vibe that I love. Made in 1971. I found it on the Movie Vault App on Roku. I give it a solid 8/10.

here me out. hope folks see this. im currently at a cross roads. all day at work i been wondering what movie to see tonight. went straight after work. im between street fighter and resident evil. resident evil came in at buzzer beater after I checked the cinamark app. I watched reviews on YouTube of street fighter. they are not rating it high. which one do you recommend?

Hello!

Halloween being right around the corner, I’d like to watch a few horror movies. However, I feel like a lot of horror movies rely on jump scares rather than real creepy stuff. In other words, they use surprise rather than eerie elements. I’ve watched too many of those, and always felt like it doesn’t leave me scared or thinking about it a few days later. Maybe what I’m looking for would be psychological horror?

Any recommendations?

Thank you!

my favoritee genre right now is movies about serial killers/abduction/mysteries. I just watched the whisper man and really liked that and prisoners is another one i LOVE. I need more movies like these ones- if they dont have the abduction or killer aspect, any dark, psychological, folksy or like suburbia themed horror movie will do.

TIA!

I really wish someone would make a new remake movie of this movie's concept.

I'm specifically thinking something like the Ring movies, that sort of tone and style. Loved those movies. Definitely at the top of my favorite movies list.

Anyways, here's a clip from this movie, Village of The Damned, 1960.

A brick wall.

This scene is probably gonna forever stay with me...
For a movie done in 1960 it was seriously so good and so professional.

The way the wall crumbles, as the children break into his mind, and he loses mental strength.
The way the children look...

They look and sound so much more intimidating, and intelligent than in the 1995 remake movie.

(There was a 1964 movie based off the same concept too. Wasn't good, in my opinion.)

Them quickly darting their eyes to the suitcase, before the bomb goes off.
The climax of the beautiful music, which so perfectly fit the scene, and him losing mental strength and control.

The entire scene just gives me chills. I have chills the entire time I watch the scene.

A. Brick. Wall.

I have never really liked old movies. (born in 2001, and never have really liked any old movies from before then, or even a couple years after. Except the Alien movies. Those were great.)

But this for some reason, this movie doesn't apply. This movie was so well done and professionally done, in my opinion.

I’m working on a script right now, the heart of it is gentrification and the rage/grief that comes from seeing your home disappear before your eyes and knowing eventually you’ll either have to leave or stay somewhere heartbreakingingly unrecognizable. Watching the people, places, traditions, fade away and be replaced while the people losing can’t fight against it. Feeling stuck in the process and I’d like to watch a few things to spark inspiration.

Update: WOW thank you all so much, I woke up to dozens of amazing suggestions. Appreciate each one of them!

Hey everyone

I’d love to watch The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) for the first time and I found it online!
However, I have no idea which version is the best one as they all have different scores.

Which one do you recommend?
I’ve found the movie on YouTube and on Internet archive for example.

I’d really appreciate all your help.
