A community to discuss, debate, and celebrate the history of cinema, emphasis on—but not exclusively—the groundbreaking, avant garde and experimental, with a healthy dose of irreverence instead of the usual navel-gazing that usually surrounds cineastic appreciation.


Community Rules

  1. "All is fair in love and war" but keep it witty or, at minimum, intelligent. If you can't do either, keep walking. This community's administrators will not abide simpletons nor bullies.

  2. "Franchise picture" fans and similar ilk, be forewarned: you are open game to be verbally flayed in this public square. Did you not see the name of this community?

  3. There ~~may~~ will be occasionally adult subject matter (NSFW)—such is the nature of the beast. While it is not the scope of this community to purvey nor condone extreme or gratuitous sex or violence, neither subjects are necessarily condemned when in context with the subject matter at hand. It is also not the scope of this community to discuss only adult themes; how else could one discuss Fleming's The Wizard of Oz (1939) or Donen/Kelly's Singing In The Rain (1952)?

  • It is suggested you do not subscribe if you are highly sensitive to either subjects.

  • It is strongly suggested that authors of submitted posts mark NSFW content as such. Err on the side of doubt.

  1. All opinions expressed are strictly of the respective authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the moderators of this community nor the administrators of this instance (lemmy.film).

From the linked article…

Duncan Jones’s low budget directorial debut is a wonderful piece of intelligent sci-fi

…and The King would agree! 👍

This is one of the best films of all time!

[–] GordonShumway 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The soundtrack is unreal. Absolutely fantastic film that I try and not overwatch if that makes sense.

I try and not overwatch if that makes sense.

Ehmm…no. Wanna explain?

[–] GordonShumway 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not entirely sure how to explain. It’s like Shawshank Redemption. It is one of those films I have great memories of and I try and savour the moments when I do watch it.

Thanks for the clarification, Gordon. While I'm not saying I watch movies I love on continuous loop (like children watch certain Disney films), I'll gladly rewatch movies I'm fond of, sometimes multiple times in a week depending on how much I have to scrutinize. Meanwhile, I gotta see if Moon is on the TV these days as it's been years since I'd seen it. Could be that I'll be back to tell you all how much I hate it in retrospect! 😁 (but probably not!)

Don't know about "best of all times" but it certainly is a very good piece of cinema.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

One of :)

It's just really well done.

Since we are on movie snobs can you recommend some better films like it for a weekend watch?

[–] soupspoon 1 points 1 year ago

I liked this movie a lot but it's been a while, did Sam Rockwell get a chance to dance in it?

A game trailer was released for some game that I can't remember the name of even though I just searched for it on YouTube. https://youtu.be/xCN5sQHaRGg
I tried to convince friends of mine the similarities between the game and the movie Moon, but none of my friends have seen the movie, sadly.
