"A Friend In Deed" starring Peter Falk set in the mid-70s, its interesting to see how people in those days interacted with telephones, computers, and other forms of technology. This detective has every physical deficiency you can think of. short . clumsy, afraid of all kinds of things. all he has is his mind. What happens when the homicide lieutenant must take down his boss's boss's boss... the police commissioner?  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071351/?ref_=tt_ep_nx | ||

A Garden of Words was also really good if you folks are interested in a romance film. Princess and the Pilot is also really good. | ||

Also watched a low budget scifi flick called Europa Report. Way better than expected, well executed and understated film. Its filmed almost entirely from the perspective of security cama and helmet cams etc, so it has that feel of authenticity without shaking like a spazz. | ||

On par with my favorite anime film of all time, My Neighbour Totoro, in my opinion. A Garden of Words was also really good if you folks are interested in a romance film.

Princess and the Pilot is also really good. This is something that I have to agree with you on. Princess Mononoke is a pretty good film, but it didn't really do that much for me. Wolf Children was one of the best movies I've seen, but it was a bit weird, and at every point it surprised me a bit, which is cool for that type of movie. It feels like it has the same thing as Totoro going on, with a country-side fantasy-awe-learning about the world approach. Thanks for the other recommendations, those will be next up on the list. People have been mentioning Summer Wars so that has me excited as well. On March 26 2014 12:50 Spaylz wrote: I liked Wolf Children. I didn't think it was amazing, but it's a decent movie.

Some people might feel that's a downside for it, but I appreciated it. It seems like the right decision.

One of the strongest cast line ups ever, and I was pretty surprised at how short it was, I felt like I had been watching for longer (while simultaneously wanting it to go on). Also watched a low budget scifi flick called Europa Report. Way better than expected, well executed and understated film. Its filmed almost entirely from the perspective of security cama and helmet cams etc, so it has that feel of authenticity without shaking like a spazz. And The Grand Budapest Hotel is apparently pretty critically popular too, so it seems like one to check out. | ||

Princess Mononoke is just not for me too. I get the theme but I never felt empathy for the characters. Howl's Moving Castle is excellent though, another one that I've replayed countless times. | ||

In the mean time, I'll watch Darjeeling Limited some time this week. Princess Mononoke is just not for me too. I get the theme but I never felt empathy for the characters. Howl's Moving Castle is excellent though, another one that I've replayed countless times. I'd recommend trying to watch it in theaters (although I guess if you have a nice setup for watching DVDs not much would be lost ^^), it was a really gorgeous movie. | ||

It seems like more of a kid's movie than the other Ghibli movies, but if you appreciate it for what it is then it becomes a great movie. Totoro doesn't draw my interest. I must have tried to watch and finish it at least 10 times by now and haven't yet gotten halfway through. | ||

It's actually pretty dark. There's all kinds of evidence supporting this theory: http://kotaku.com/5926248/totoro-isnt-all-cute-for-some-hes-the-god-of-death Edit: it's just a theory, but a fairly rampant one with some believability. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Pu294DC.jpg) Gone Baby Gone (2007) I stopped watching after 50 minutes. Casey Affleck, this guy makes me cringe. I don't plan on watching another movie where he stars. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/oSdAe6E.jpg) In a future where a failed global-warming experiment kills off most life on the planet, a class system evolves aboard the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe via a perpetual-motion engine. I usually like sci-fi movies. Its among the most viewed genre according to the IMDB, but something about this one. Dunno if it was propaganda or the surreal plot. Did like the metaphors of the train and all though. 5/10 On March 27 2014 04:16 c0ldfusion wrote: You guys know what My Neighbor Totoro is really about right? It's actually pretty dark.

Cute theory, but I would take Studio Ghibli's word on it, and say its not true. My fragile mind wouldnt be able to handle such a dark theory to be true on one of my earliest memories of a Anime. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/cJh0xmC.jpg) Moonrise Kingdom Just finished this weird movie. It was good, but it surprised me most by how short it seemed. While it didn't have any parts that really stand out there was no point in the movie where it bored me. It also doesn't seem like the type of movie to have so many big-name actors, but it turned out fairly well with that. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/vJlLuqy.jpg) The Incredibles Also re-watched this one for the first time since I was about 10 years old. It aged incredibly well. There was plenty of innuendo that went directly over my head last time that finally made sense. | ||
