So lets say hypothetically you had to watch a movie right now. Obviously you're gonna pick something you've seen before, and is pretty entertaining. What would you pick? Or maybe a movie thats better with friends? Idk just give me good movies

My top three for this would be:

  • Scott Pilgrim vs The World
  • Snatch
  • Shawn of the Dead

I see Starship Troopers mentioned in the comments too, that's a good one. I think I'd also shout out Super Troopers as well. Weird that all these movies start with "S". I guess I like movies that start with S!

Road House

Tropic Thunder

The Long Kiss Goodnight.

It’s a great movie, and fantastic to introduce to people. How in the world this movie is not more well known is beyond me.

Geena Davis plays Lady Jason Bourne. Samuel L. Jackson is her sidekick, and all the dialog is written by Shane Black (the guy who wrote Lethal Weapon, Nice Guys, and touched up Predator’s dialog).

Kill Bill is always controversial when I say it's one of my favorite movies but it's just sooo good!!! I can get why it's not for everyone though

Yes - definitely 💕 I love how colourful and theatrical it is, amazing music, mix of being wacky and silly but with full series dead-pan delivery~

In 2002 I bought a PS2 which came with the Charlie's Angels DVD, and I watched it a thousand times, I feel like it has a similar vibe hehehe

Starship Troopers!. Would you like to know more?

Even better if you read the book first and completely hate it.

Maybe not worth that though.

It’s easy it be able to enjoy the book and movie as what they each aspire to be and treat them separately.

We’ll never get a movie rendition of the book (which is more than just putting power armor in it), but that’s alright.

If you like the book, I consider it part of the power armor trifecta along with Forever War, and Armor.

For general military scifi I recommend Tactics Of Mistake which is basically the applied Art Of War but in space. There is also Old Man’s War and if you just want power armor schlock, the original series of Halo books are better than they have any right to be.
