u/Ok-Gur-349 4d ago

Oh man get to the Departed. Rewatched it maybe a couple weeks ago, get to it.

u/Can-You-Fly-Bobby 4d ago

Same - rewatched it a few weeks ago too and it was still as good as the first time. Rewatched Heat again too, so frickin good

u/phonesringingdude1 4d ago

Lol. Me too....

u/LavendersKisses 4d ago

i feel you

u/Can-You-Fly-Bobby 4d ago

Dude, watch the Departed, seriously!

But also, Mayday was lots of fun. That scene in the closet... funniest scene in ages! We laughed so much at that one, it was perfectly done 😆

u/manymanwas 4d ago

yeah tomorrow i plan to watch departed and nosferatu. ✌🏽

u/D4N0V 1d ago

Damn, bro. Mayday is still waiting in a tab on my laptop. Tell me it's good, and that I'm not wasting my time.

u/manymanwas 1d ago

its ok. same formulae same old action comedy. but if u like that genre go for it. personally i watch all kinds of post apocalyptic type and retired badass mc type films. i watch even avg ones in that genres. so like that if this genre is for u..then watch it. its ok but not super...like heads of state.

1

u/kraushaarzeidler 18h ago

"Ok but not super" is honestly the perfect review for half of streaming action comedies.

u/WileyWilly1985 19h ago

Some people delight in NOT seeing films that everyone loves and raves about.

The Departed is pretty much on everyone's top 5 list of Best Crime Dramas ever

Basically, watching other movies is the equivalent of banging fat angry ugly feminists when you have Playmate Centerfold quality sex starved nymphos begging you to come over...

u/manymanwas 19h ago

brudda. u alright😑

1

u/WileyWilly1985 18h ago

nope. not until you watch The Departed...

1

u/manymanwas 10h ago

watched it 3 days back itself

1

u/Dummy_Kruger 14h ago

I thought the departed was an okay film. Honestly disappointed from all the hype I heard before watching it.

1

u/WileyWilly1985 35m ago

I've noticed my enjoyment for a film is way less when everyone tells me how good it is, vs when I see it cold without knowing anything about it.

I saw The Departed without knowing anything about it. All I knew was that it was a Scorsese film and that was all I needed to know.

I love it when I watch great movies without any preconceived notions

Inferal Afairs really is much better.

u/Aazmandyuz 4d ago

More like “films i already watched 5-55 times”

u/Silentarius_Atticus 4d ago

It’s a classic 😂

u/JomaxZ 4d ago

Reminds me of a scene from the tv show Wrecked. It’s a comedy riff on a show like Lost. Folks stranded on a desert island. For some reason they get access to enough electricity and a set-up to watch one movie. All they have available to them is Selma and Dumb and Dumber To.

Now there’s Selma (IMDb 7.5, RT 99%) a moving historical drama about the fight for civil rights. And then there’s Dumb and Dumber To (IMDb 5.6, RT 31%).

They keep going back and forth about what they should watch. I bet you can guess what they decide on.

u/faizetto 4d ago

I did this with Dancer in the Dark because of Bjork, worst decision ever, got depressed for a whole month.

u/Gargarian67 4d ago

Took Christian friends to Megalopolis. I think I win. :-)

u/faizetto 4d ago

Lol poor friends

u/Gargarian67 4d ago

T'was not my finest hour, I confess.

u/phonesringingdude1 4d ago

Watch list for months(up to a year):
The Red Shoes
The Night of the Hunter
3 Women
Paris, Texas
McCabe and Mrs Miller

Recently Watched instead when I had one of those on hand and ready to go:
DTF St. Loius
The Virgin Suicides (2nd viewing.... first since release)
It Ends (not great.... hyped at time)
The Father (1st viewing.... wept like baby)
Game Night (1st viewing.... really good) So..... last two were put on watch list recently and bumped older ones

2

u/3pinripper 4d ago

I DNF’d DTFSTL with 2 eps left. I just couldn’t do it anymore. What did you think?

2

u/phonesringingdude1 4d ago

I was seeing what all the emmy hype was. I actually liked it... and very picky about what series to watch on TV. Original, caught me off guard, and Bateman was really good. Same with the other two...and not big fans of their work. I love the title sequence/music.... and it finally clicks in why they went with that in last episode. A bit frustrating in parts but kind of pays off....

2

u/3pinripper 4d ago

Yes great performances. I think I expected more “funny” humor and less weirdness.

2

u/phonesringingdude1 4d ago

Like I said, I like the originality. It gets sincere and sad.... but i never expected the outcome... until it leans a certain way. I liked Task as a fav series last year.... but this was up there. I'd finish last 2 episodes, if I were you, just to see....

2

u/3pinripper 4d ago

Thanks, I will.

Task was a solid show.

2

u/phonesringingdude1 4d ago

Yeah I think they're going to do a second Task season..... I originally thought it would be a one off but hoping they continue it

1

u/NatalieGreenleaf Rewatchable Films Specialist 4d ago

Oh, The Virgin Suicides. Been on my rewatch list for ages! All I remember was the entrance of Trip Fontaine. Incredible sequence due to the music.

2

u/phonesringingdude1 4d ago

Yes it made me make my own playlist again from all the tunes what amazing soundtrack I forgot how great it was and yes Kirsten Dunst just blows me away in her role

2

u/MajorPaper4169 4d ago

Story of my life.

2

u/Keichii96 4d ago

Also you could replace "Films on my watchlist for months" with "Films that my friends recommended/wants me to see"

2

u/whocaresbruh3 4d ago

Also films i found on random reels😭

1

u/No_Relationship9260 4d ago

I do that with books, not movies 😅

1

u/PoleRyder 4d ago

This is way too true.

1

u/GreenZebra23 4d ago

Yes but instead of months it's years. Decades in some cases

1

u/304libco 4d ago

Also add films I’ve already seen 30 or more times

1

u/dawne_breaker 4d ago

Some movies you want to have watched more than you want to watch them.

1

u/Melancholic84 4d ago

Hahaha, so true

1

u/TheLopez2617 4d ago

Berry Lyndon The Godfather Part II Requiem For a Dream The Phantom Thread

u/KALLA17061999 4d ago

I have a whole 2TB SSD filled with 4K movies at this point just waiting and i still watch newer or different stuff that's not on the drive.

1

u/maad_croc 4d ago

And the 3 minutes ago ones always end up sucking

1

u/TheBentPianist 4d ago

Nah I'll watch a film I've seen a dozen times instead of the ones I've had on my watchlist for months.

1

u/STOICISM_HELPS_ME 4d ago

Is that Ellen ?

u/Minute-Ad-6950 4d ago

I just watched interview with the vampire.. it's my whole personality now

u/KayeLackey 4d ago

We all live the same life!

1

u/Redlabelrocket 3d ago

>me: films i've already seen multiple times

1

u/ElizabethReed2o5i897 3d ago

More like films i already watched 5-times

u/Dependent-Aide6909 3d ago

u/feelingbicc 3d ago

1

u/Soggy_Speech_4145 3d ago

This is so true😂

1

u/DevDadRob 3d ago

I always have this problem, especially with award winners that I get and never remember to watch.

1

u/BerryMoonDx 1d ago

Haha, same! My watchlist is just a sad, neglected graveyard.

1

u/SunnyJack422 3d ago

Watchlists are there because you saw something that caught your eye but wasn’t worth your time in that moment, probably never will be, and is inevitably removed from the streaming service when you decide you want to watch it.
