Hey, community guidelines say we can post dailymotion videos here! Good thing too, because this is a good one.

Even if you don't like lawyers, even if you don't like the military, even if you don't like Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore, this movie is still worth watching. That's because the dialogue is solid. Probably because it started out as a play, and therefore doesn't rely on stunts or action or even great cinematography. If you've already seen it, watch it again, and try to see if you can find even one line of dialogue that you could remove, that would make things better. It's tough. Because every line belongs there. That's the truth... even if "you can't handle" it!

The plot follows the court-martial of two U.S. Marines charged with the murder of a fellow Marine and the tribulations of their lawyers as they prepare a case.

Not the Sean Penn movie.

A contaminated man (Wings Hauser) is hired to rescue a big shot's kidnapped daughter (Pamela Ludwig) in the post-plague future.

Such a lovely film by Kiarostami.

This movie explains the human condition with all the candor of a much-upvoted shitpost, and all the beauty of a classical painting. The final scene perfectly depicts our contemporary global situation.

[An] epic historical drama film produced, written and directed by Werner Herzog. Klaus Kinski stars in the title role of Spanish soldier Lope de Aguirre, who leads a group of conquistadores down the Amazon River in South America in search of the legendary city of gold, El Dorado. ...

It was given an extensive arthouse theatrical release in the United States in 1977, and remains one of the director's best-known films. Several critics have declared the film a masterpiece, and it has appeared on Time magazine's list of "All Time 100 Best Films".

FUN FACT: the movie was originally shot with the actors speaking in English, since it was the only language that everyone in the cast knew. But the funds to do the original post-sync were stolen, and they ended up dubbing it again in German.

The film's reputation through the years has continued to grow. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 96% of 50 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 9/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "A haunting journey of natural wonder and tangible danger, Aguirre transcends epic genre trappings and becomes mythological by its own right."[28]

J. Hoberman has written that Aguirre "is not just a great movie but an essential one ... Herzog's third feature ... is both a landmark film and a magnificent social metaphor".[29] Danny Peary wrote, "To see Aguirre for the first time is to discover a genuine masterpiece. It is overwhelming, spellbinding; at first dreamlike, and then hallucinatory."

Not quite as charming as the first one, but not really terrible either.

Van Damme isn't in this one, but "Ray Jackson" is back, and many of the other actors are somewhat recognizeable from other films. (i.e. the main guy was in a John Wick and a Matrix; the wise sage character does the voice of the noodle selling bird in Kung Fu Panda, etc.) and they are joined by Pat "Mr Miyagi" Morita. Also once they get to the kumite, there are a bunch of different martial artists like kung fu and muay thai fighters, a judoka, a capoeira guy, etc. There's a framing story which is right on the line between cringe and camp, and indeed the seriousness with which you take this movie is inversely proportional to how enjoyable you'll find it. Meaning: turn your brain off and it's pretty fun.

"Allow nothing to be in your life that you cannot walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner." Sounds easy, slick!

You will feel bad while and after watching this movie. idk wtf people were thinking about, putting this on broadcast TV. But to understand why, you need to first read the:

content warning

suicide

and then the

spoiler

The movie is about a young couple who are in love and who are forbidden from being together. Typical beginning. But halfway through this movie, the young couple commits suicide. Not only does the movie show the suicide, but it show them being found, it shows the bodies being dragged out in the open, and it shows the family screaming and crying over them. In fact, the last half of the movie is about the family's guilt, sorrow, anger, numbness, and blame.

so apart from that, it's a TV movie with that level of quality. However, it has Molly Ringwald, Paul Sorvino, and a very young River Phoenix.

Set in a dystopian future where humanity is a spacefaring race ruled by a sole person called "The Master," the film features a space crew confronting primal fears after they are marooned on a distant planet.

La nave espacial Rebus se posó en un planeta por una razón desconocida, y desde entonces no parece dar señales de vida. Al escuchar la noticia, el Maestro parece aliviado y decide enviar una nave de rescate cuya tripulación selecciona personalmente. Tras un aterrizaje bastante complicado, la tripulación de la nave de rescate descubre la nave perdida y unos cuantos cadáveres. Pero lo más extraño, una misteriosa estructura en forma de pirámide que emana una energía que inutiliza todo su equipo a bordo y les impide despegar. Y lo que es peor, cuando deciden entrar a explorarla los miembros de la tripulación van muriendo uno tras otro, asesinados por misteriosas criaturas.

A classic from Roger Corman, this was one of James Cameron's first works. He worked designing the props and making some script adjustments and you can clearly see the influence this film had over Cameron's Aliens movie

La historia sigue a una serie de trabajadores petroleros varados en Alaska después de un accidente aéreo, que se ven obligados a sobrevivir con poco más que su ingenio, mientras una manada de lobos grises los acecha sin piedad a través del frío clima.

The story follows a number of oil-men stranded in Alaska after a plane crash who must survive multiple packs of Canadian grey wolves, stalking them during the mercilessly cold weather.

Not a fan of "disaster" nor "man vs animal" movies but I think it's worth watching.

"A warning to the rich: Get Off Our Backs!"

Also released in the US as "Slumfighter" which is a far superior title, but I guess they wanted people to think of "Death Wish." Basically there are there good honest people living in this tenement who are being oppressed by The Man, "but they can only take so much before they are forced to fight!" If nothing else, check out the original trailer, which is gold from beginning to end:

You'll note a universally low production quality, and even the fight choreography is poorly done. But the actors have some real physical skills, so you'll frequently see a decent leap, spin, or jump-kick. With a bit more money this could have reached "Bloodsport" levels. And the main theme is truly funky.

Summary: entertaining, if your expectations are as low as a landlord... That's a Promise!
