Gushing About Shows You Like (Sugar Wiki)/Film: Difference between revisions

* Velvet Goldmine is the single most beautiful movie I have ever seen. The cinematography, set design, costumes, makeup, actors, post-production, soundtrack, dialogue, everything. Watching it is a freaking experience.

* ''[[Magnolia]]'' is for me the best movie ever made. It's like a plot that is impossible to describe, and it's a challenging 3 hours, but the plot, the characters, the acting, ''everything'' makes it more than worthy of watching the movie. Tom Cruise's best role ever.

** Most people have not heard of Magnolia, but most people have heard of [[Boogie Nights]], also made by [[TV Tropes Made of Win Archive|Paul Thomas Anderson]]. [[Boogie Nights]] is a great movie, Magnolia is greater.

* ''[[Office Space]]''. The minutes after he has his fears and worries hypnotized aways are some of the greatest and most inspirational of any movie I have seen.

*** Fear not the bricks, dear troper. You're not alone. Actually, it seems a ''lot'' of the book's fans still regard the movie rather highly, running anywhere from "a good movie with some flaws caused by changes" to "better than the book." Even as a fan of the book herself, I am not ashamed to admit that I actually prefers the movie.

** Imagine adapting a book which is, though excellent, is too short to be adapted into a feature film and has a somewhat off-putting premise. Imagine making a stop-motion film in an era where CGI is largely regarded as more practical and the results tend to net more profit, and with a relatively new, small-name company with not a single feature film to its name. Imagine shooting said movie in 3D, despite obvious technical limitations and the common perception that 3D movies are gimmicky amusement park rides. There is so much that they could have screwed up, and yet they did everything right. The movie was absolutely the most atmospheric, dreamy yet strangely real and believable work of fiction [[Tropers/Betterthanstrawberry|I]] have ever seen. Its characters feel more lifelike than even live-action characters have any right to be, and the subtle, patient narrative is nothing short of genius. The writing, voice acting, editing, cinematography, music, and special effects all work in perfect conjunction to create a story world that ''feels'' alive. And in case you're not quite patient enough to read through all of the above:

* ''[[Shoot'Em Up]]''. A party of mayhem and violence that cannot be topped.

** Not even by ''Doomsday'' and ''[[Crank|Crank: High Voltage]]''?

** I concur. There will never be anything else quite like Joseph Gordon-Levitt fighting mooks ''in shifting gravity''.

** A few hours after I watched this film, I was in a daze. The next day, I couldn't shut up about it. If that happens to me, you know that it's the mark of an incredible movie. Oh, and not quotable or funny?

Arthur: "Oh well, it was worth a shot." }}

** Hands down the film of the year. The shot of the city folding in on itself like a giant burrito is awesomeness ''itself''.
