[@justaguy6100]

I really appreciate you adding Repo Man. It's definitely a cult classic, and besides Emilio there's a really good turn by Harry Dean Stanton, Jimmy Buffett a small part, Michael Nesmith (yes, the Monkees guitarist and only real musician of the group), Miguel Sandoval fairly recognizable from a ton of movies including Clear and Present Danger, Tracey Walter (my other brother Darryl, for fans of Newhart). So yeah it deserves a look. BTW Asa Butterfield of Ender's Game is the main character in Sex Education, a better-than-it-sounds series on Netflix.

Ender’s Game was my favorite sci fi book when I was twelve and, although I couldn’t interest my teenage daughter with watching it now, I found the movie to be a great representation of a classic. Worth a watch for us middle aged sci fi fans

[@Greydt]

First Matrix movie will always be an amazing in theater experience for me. Back in 1999, the marketing for the movie leading up to the release was just “What is the Matrix?”. No teases about the plot, the action, etc. The Matrix reveal while sitting in theater was mind blowing, not to mention the action. I was already an HK movie fan at the point, but seeing the martial arts and gunfighting brought into a stylized, big budget way was breathtaking. Kinda tough nowadays to go into a movie completely not knowing what to expect at all, and the first Matrix movie experience will always be something I cherish.

[@m00semurad]

[@misterbum1]

For those who read, the Orson Scott Card Ender series has some 12 books in it. You will find considerably more depth in the written Ender than in the movie. Like many devoted readers of specific authors, I almost universally am disappointed in screen renditions of their novels, probably because they do not compare to the "movie" that runs in my mind as I read.

[@merannicuill6435]

I read most of them, but the author... turns out he's an absolute a$$, in SO many ways. I just can't read his stuff anymore.

Melancholia is my favorite from this list. The second half "Claire" tripped me out.

[@orangemountain457]

Opposite for me, Melancholia is the most boring movie to me ever but I respect other peoples opinions.

[@mikepanick9362]

Agree the ending and the entire second half is fantastic. Although the human race is a total mess seeing the World end made me understand all that would be lost. Gainsborough did some of her best work in this movie.

Yeah, Cyberpunk 2077 came out 12/10/2020. Cyberpunk Edgerunners came out 9/13/2022. It definitely got people hyped about the game again and boosted sales of it at the time. Of course, the bugs being hashed out didn't hurt either.

[@dougcastleman9518]

And written by the great Arthur C Clarke, who wrote 2001 with Kubrick, of course.

[@Greydt]

I need to watch “Battleship” again - the most interesting take I’ve seen online is that the alien ship is a mining ship that got stuck on Earth due to an accident, was only trying to signal for help to go home, and because of misunderstandings, was seen as an aggressive force for an invasion.

[@reeldeal3227]

Seeing Melancholia for the first time was an absolutely crazy experience. The first half has some awkwardly comedic elements, with the second half an artistic masterpiece. Kirsten Dunst's performance was one for the ages. HIGHLY recommend this Lars von Trier gem.

Your whole Cyberpunk section is nearly all wrong. The game did launch buggy but it didn't flop, still sold more than most games at that time (now at more than 25million copies). Then the anime came out around two years later, not near launch, which actually helped boost player interest and made the game go back up the charts.

I may be showing my age, but there was a big trend to cut food costs by purchasing "no frills" generic foods. Even the labels were almost exactly like the cans in Repo Man.

I saw Repo Man in the theater back in the day. Still holds a place in my heart. Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is better the second time around.

Like 2001, Spirited away and Pulp fiction and a handful of others these transcend and elevate the art and are not just another movie.

[@JesseArt]

18:38 As one who's read the Ender's Game series, I was VERY excited when the movie came out. Overall, I enjoy it, but it certainly leaves out very significant internal dialogues, leadership ideology, military strategy, etc. that truly make the books very intricate and special. There were just several things that I wished the film explored more deeply. But, I will say that the ultimate message did eventually shine through. "HOW we win matters." is a very strong statement that is far more impactful if you've read at least Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow.

[@michaelwolejszo6445]

Ender's game is one of the movies that I can re watch multiple times.

[@berserkerviking1]

I agree with Looper as the #1. It is one of the best time travel movies I have seen in recent years. Ender's Game is terrific too. I absolutely love the Enderverse books. Some of them explore what happened on earth with Ender's siblings and there is one (Ender's Shadow) which portrays the same events as Ender's Game but from the perspective of Bean! (who turns out to be an extraordinary character in his own right). A very clever and awesome story--it turns out there was actually a lot going on than the original story portrayed. However, I realized after rewatching the film on Netflix that I think I understand why the movie is only rated 6.6 on IMDB (much too low in my opinion). The reason is that, although Orson Scott Card had direct input into the movie and made sure it hit the high points, the book is so rich that it is hard to fit all the key elements and explanations into the movie. Such as: why are these young kids military geniuses? The book motivates this pretty well but the movie doesn't do as well.

[@kevinbuja8105]

Repo Man is filled with sight gags, and word play throughout. Also, one of my favorite movies with Tracy Walter in it; better know as Nicholson’s Joker’s right hand man. Also, some very generational things like Generic Food those plain cans that said beer, dog food that was a real thing to help save you money. They also make fun of Scientology, with the book Diuretics for L. Ron Hubbard’s book, “Dyanetics” Plus, Michael Nesmith produced it. Saw Split for the first time, mainly because of Anya (as in-her own words-aneurysm) Taylor-Joy. McAvoy was astonishing. Agree with you on The Matrix Trilogy, the first is the best. I feel the same way about the John Wick series. They’re all “good” but to me, the first is the best, and could (should?) have ended there.

I like that Glass tries to do something interesting with the superhero genre, it's a horror movie rather than a four color superhero movie. James McAvoy's performance in Glass is maybe equal to his performance in Split, but I agree it's a letdown after Unbreakable and Split.
