10 Favorite Movies • Page 12

I Love You, Man is one of my favorite comedies. So many moments in that one.

 

Jason Segel and Paul Rudd are two of the most likeable guys in the comedy scene

 

I know Rudd has Ant Man, but what has Segel been up to? The world needs more of him.

 

Made me of fan of theirs from then on. Plus, because of that movie, we got this interview.

 

Not much after HIMYM ended. He was in that Sex Tape movie with Cameron Diaz, which I heard was terrible. He was in a movie called The End of the Tour that was cool 'cause he got to show his dramatic chops. He's also in a Netflix movie coming out soon called The Discovery.

 

I thought Sex Tape was ok, run of the mill comedy but I wouldn't call it terrible. Never heard of the others, I'll check them out!

 

Sex Tape is one of the worst movies I've ever tried watching. I've been a big Jason Segel fan, but I couldn't even finish that one when I was drunk

 

I'm a huge Segel fan too, and I think that was the reason I at least thought Sex Tape was run of the mill. He was the best character in HIMYM, Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared, brilliant in The End of the Tour, and his writing with Sarah Marshall and The Muppets was fantastic. The Five-Year Engagement was a bit bloated, but still an engaging movie. I ought to watch it again as a refresher actually.

I'm super excited for The Discovery.
When I first read about it about a year ago, there was barely an info on it and 2017 seemed so far away. Even now, I thought it wasn't coming out for months and I just checked and saw it's coming out in a week. Yes!

 

The One I Love is one of my favorite movies in recent years, so I'm excited about The Discovery as well.

 

How are the two related? And should I watch The One I Love tonight? I like Mark Duplass in Creep and Safety Not Guranteed, and I have The Puffy Chair on my watch list

 

Charlie McDowell directed both, and Justin Lader wrote both. McDowell is also credited as a writer on The Discovery.

 

If you haven't seen The One I Love, definitely do so. I love that film.

 

there's a thing going around social media where you do your favorite movies from every year you've been alive, here's mine,some years were really tough so some of my faves are missing

 

I wanted to do one of these but I'm still v much in the process of becoming cinema literate so it's been hard to find justified choices for the earlier years

 

I also did it. But I have since rewatched Eyes Wide Shut which would now top Magnolia for 1999.

 

i did one too a couple days ago

 

My go to Top 5 is:

1) Memento
2) True Romance
3) Pulp Fiction
4) The Prestige
5) Eternal Sunshine

I'd have to think long and hard about what would round out the bottom 5 but Assassination of Jesse James, American History X, Inglorious Basterds, Blue Valentine and The Departed would probably be in there.

 

Is there a good site that easily lists each movie by year?
