Contentious C Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Another odd entry for me in this category that I hope isn't truly an entry is In the Bedroom. I mention it because it's never had a re-release on Blu-ray; you can buy it on Amazon streaming in SD or on DVD, but who does that anymore if they don't have to? But as far as I can tell, it seems like the reason Miramax hasn't released it in HD format is that the writer/director, Todd Field, is something of a recluse. Which is too bad, because it's easily one of my favorite movies of the last 20 years. On the other hand, it is a seriously grim film and could probably make the cut as something a lot of people wouldn't want to watch more than once anyway.

John Austin Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I was looking at my collection and Blue Valentine stood out. I bought it because I wanted to see it. Thought it was good but my goodness it was depressing. I haven't seen it since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 I will never ever ever ever watch Come And See again. Ever. The trailer is bad enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Mark has just reminded me that I should add Fruitvale Station to my list. I think I was angry at any and all Caucasian police officers for about five days after that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) On 6/10/2019 at 7:04 PM, The Natural said: Up for that fucking opening montage. Grave of the Fireflies and how the main character goes. Night Will Fall is horrific using footage of Nazi concentration camps and deemed too intense for the general populace at the time. These plus Requiem for a Dream and United 93. Edited February 25, 2020 by The Natural 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I watched Requiem exactly once under the worst set of circumstances in high school. A buddy and I smoked a bowl and sat down to watch it and greened out, and we watched an infomercial for like fifteen minutes before realizing it was for the JUICE program and it was actually the main menu of the DVD. Then I spent the the movie freaked out that I was going to end up stealing my moms tv for heroin money, even though I had and have never done anything harder than marijuana. Also, that score invades your soul and claws at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The Master. Acting and cinematography is great and I get what PTA was going for here but I'll never watch that again most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww shit I’m definitely watching this again. Just took like a decade breather in between viewings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLSigman Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The Dark Knight For some reason, I saw it at the worst possible time in my life to see it. I felt like I had been gut punched the whole time. Maybe it was the Heath Ledger crush I had, maybe it was just on top of other stuff going on in my life. But it really turned me off the Nolan Bat films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
