What subjects would you watch any movie about?

[GreatAmericanZero]

Do you guys have certain subjects that you would watch any movie about that subject, even if it sucks?

I'll watch anything about Vietnam. If its a Vietnam war movie, i'll check it out. In fact, almost any film that takes place in the 60s i'll watch

Also Drug Addiction. I love movies about drugs and addiction, any movie thats "Requiem of a Dream"-like or "Spun" i'll watch 'em all

I'm also a sucker for Music biopics. Even if i don't like the musician the movie is about, i'll check out their biopic. The only music biopic i really really hated was that Johnny Cash one, that was shit, but i've seen "La Bamba" 100 times

[MC Pee Pants]

Any kind of espionage film gets me pump. Except the Good Shepard, only movie i ever felt like walking out on.

[CuntagiousChris]

Marijuana:tongue:

[yojimbo7248]

I would watch anything on North Korea, the former East Germany, or something serious about espionage.

[Freakshow]

the olympics

see, if i ever started an opposite thread for this, film subjects you never watch no matter how good they are, i'd have spy films. its the same to me as period pieces with powdered wigs and movies about dogs dying..i don't watch any of them. i get so bored

[Devo37]

post-apocalyptic stuff. i'll even watch Waterword and The Postman just cuz i like the subject matter.

[Dan G]

I like WWII Nazi movies.

[Sue_Bender]

1. Cheeseburgers.
2. Piercing.
3. Kites.

In that order.

[boonanas]

Drug movies bum me the fuck out....I should have enjoyed some Jennifer Connelly ass to ass action, but no, the content matter was to serious. Give me a silly drug movie.

[Sinestro]

Even the bad ones are tremendous! :clap:

There's no such thing as bad acting in Zombie movies, cuz they're already dead to begin with.

[Dirtbag]

Vigilantes. I'll watch any dopey Death Wish ripoff that gets put out.

[drjoek]

Not a subject but I love documentaries. I could watch docs about most anything. I will also never shut a movie about surfing. Don't know why.

Don't feel bad, Doc.


You just like counting nipples. :wink:

[Slumbag]

Zombie movies

Absolutely.
I'll watch any movie about drug trafficking, too. And any kung fu movie.

[Dude!]

anything with orcs in it

[LaBoob]

Even the bad ones are tremendous! :clap:

So true!

Zombies, time travel, post apocalyptic stuff... I'll always watch.

[Sue_Bender]

Can you imagine Time-Traveling Zombies?!!

I think I just had an orgasm.

Wait, no...

It's another for the "Shart Chart". :huh:

Well, I enjoyed it up until there was a wet, warm vacuum on the back of my desk chair.


:sad:

[earthbrown]

I like WWII Nazi movies.


me too, but I want an Nazi, "what if" movie that depicts what might have happened if the Nazis would have won WW2.

[Dirtbag]

Didn't Justice League do that? I vaguely remember an episode about that and being annoyed they didn't use swastikas.

[meanmrbill]

Zombies or revenge

[Doogie]

There are not too many of these out there, but I would love to see a movie from the early era of US Naval history. Following the exploits of John Paul Jones, Stephen Decatur, and so forth. A great movie project would be the battle between H.M.S Serapis and the Bonhomme Richard, or the battles with the middle east pasha's of Algeris and Tripoli.

Yet, that type of stuff is rare to see, and when something is done similar to that subject it is usually focused on the British or French Navies.

[FunkyDrummer]

Definitely, WWII/Nazi/Holocaust movies. December was full of them.

[Kublakhan61]

Jazz Musicians and Punks ... I just like seeing the footage of live performances.

[hedges]

I agree 100%. I'll also throw in there the Blues. I've only seen two movies about the blues (there has to be many more documentaries/live performances). One was a great documentary called Deep Blues; it came out in the early 90s and focused on musicians such as Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside. The other movie was Crossroads, with a classically trained blues-loving guitarist Ralph Macchio making a pilgramige down to the Mississippi Delta to really learn the blues. Shitty movie, but I'd watch it again. If nothing else, to see Steve Vai get out played by Ralph Macchio.:huh:

Yeah, the blues is a big one for me too. Check out this if you haven't already...

[PapaBear]

Vietnam, Korea, Civil War, and WWII movies are up there. Even though I'm not a baseball fan at all, I love baseball movies. Adult baseball movies, that is. Sorry. No "kid breaks his arm and suddenly can play pro ball" movies.

Edit: I was editing to add more wars, when I realized I like war movies in general.

Not even Bad News Bears?

Not even Bad News Bears?
Original, yes. I can deal with kids playing against other kids.

[GreatAmericanZero]

.

"Rookie of the Year" was the best out of the "Rookie of the Year", "Little Big League", "Angels in the outfield" trifecta

[Kublakhan61]

I agree 100%. I'll also throw in there the Blues.

There's a whole string of movies "presented by Martin Scorsese" for PBS.
The series was just called The Blues - I saw two of the seven films "Godfathers and Sons" - which was great because Chuck D was in there talking about the impact that Electric Mud had on him as a kid. And there's great footage of Koko Taylor tearing the singing roof off a blues joint.
Also, saw "Warming By the Devils Fire" - about the rift between church gospel and the devil spawn that is the wailing blues. Hopkins, Dixon, Son House,Sonny Boy, Muddy, Mississippi John Hurt and many more are showcased in there.

As for "You See Me Laughing" - without that film I would never have known Asie Payton. Good stuff.

[jetdog]

This would have been my answer had not Tom Cruise just made one. He immediatrly takes me out of any movie I am watching.

[A.J.]

Lesbians.

[dereckfishboy]

i'm obessed with scf-fii survial horror. The nightmares I would get as a youth never shook me as I watch thefirst three Alien movies. After that, if it has a battle for survivial on a derlict space craft, then I'lm obligated. Even Horizon and Dead Space stand out as high profile in a gengre almost exclusivey low budget....

[FunkyDrummer]

I don't remember if the documentary had Charles Caldwell in it, but he is another great Fat Possum artist.

[SP1!]

Old baseball films that are set before the 60s, or pretty much almost all films set before the 60s.

[Fezticle98]

Just about any organized crime movie, with the exception of Mickey Blue Eyes.

Any movie about The Clash.

Any movie based loosely on the 1987 Washington Redskins scab team, unfortunately.

[Heather 8]

Just about any organized crime movie, with the exception of Mickey Blue Eyes.


Even Jane Austen's MAFIA! and Oscar?

[Furtherman]

post-apocalyptic stuff. i'll even watch Waterword and The Postman just cuz i like the subject matter.

Me too.



time travel

Me three.


I'm a total sucker for time travel movies. I even own DVDs of The Final Countdown and The Philadelphia Experiment. Not great movies but I love 'em!


Could never get into zombie movies though. No appeal to me.

[midwestjeff]

Definitely any drug stuff.
Drugstore Cowboys being the top of that mountain, in my world.

I also really like hillbilly-creep-murder-cult type horror movies.

Anything where inbreds kill pretty teens.

[Kublakhan61]

I don't think he's in the doc. I will have a look. Fat Possum is a label I don't mind putting my money into.

[Thebazile78]

"Rookie of the Year" was the best out of the "Rookie of the Year", "Little Big League", "Angels in the outfield" trifecta

The original Angels in the Outfield (from 1951) was a very sweet movie. It also had Janet Leigh in it, which made it really interesting for me, considering the only other film I've ever seen her in was Psycho.

Now that you mention it, I remember the Blues series Scorcese did for PBS, but I did not see it. "Warming By the Devil Fire" sounds fascinating. Thanks for the tips. I've gotta catch up on these.

[Freitag]

1) Time Travel

2) Sports

3) Post-Apocalyptic

4) If the lead is a "Tweener" - not exactly good, not exactly bad. See: Snake Plissken, Mel Gibson in "Payback", etc.

And although I really, really, REALLY hate zombie movies, especially "contagious" zombies, I want to see "Dead Snow".

Not time-travelling zombies per se, but if you google the movie, you'll see what I mean.

[Fezticle98]

Ice Spiders.

Baby Geniuses.

For the unintentional (or possibly intentional) comedy contained therein.

[hedges]

Yeah, the blues is a big one for me too. Check out this if you haven't already...

A Fat Possum joint. Now this one looks really cool. T-Model Ford is one of my favorites.

You'll LOVE this movie then. Also, you get to see R.L. and Jon Spencer do a show together, if I remember right ... good fun and some fascinating stories.

Maybe some purists didn't like A Ass Pocket Of Whiskey and that collaboration. I think it's good stuff. The film should be here in two days from Netflix.:thumbup:

[CountryBob]

my weekness IS Zombie movies. I just cant turn away.

[Franklyn]

Civilizations on the verge of collapse or Post Apocalyptic. I'm sold right from the premise. Loved "Children of Men".
