Idiocracy
That’s just movie to prepare you for the future.
You spelled present day wrong.
The future is already here. It’s just unevenly distributed.
The future is now, old man
To prepare for the future, all you need are electrolytes.
Camacho for president!
A vote for camacho is just a vote for trump

The future? It’s pretty close to now…
Idiocracy is a funny movie that I enjoy. However I’m disturbed by the number of people who say it’s a documentary, or a warning. That’s because the central premise of the movie (that humans breed wrong and if nothing is done, we’ll devolve and society will collapse) also happens to be the central premise of Eugenics.
Hey, at least in Idiocracy, once they determined the guy to be smarter than everyone else, at least they put him in charge of things…
They did try to kill him first. Several times…

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

I always say everyone should see requiem for a dream, but no one should watch it. That film does more for stopping drug abuse than any government program ever did.
“Ass to ass!”
I’m going to be on television!
One of my favorite movies that I’ll probably never watch again. The Kronos Quartet did an awesome job with the soundtrack.
I find it inconceivable that no one has mentioned ‘The Princess Bride’ yet.
That word… I think it means exactly what you think it means.
It’s immaterial, it is automatically disqualified from the list because we’ve all already seen it multiple times.
Bonus points for the actor Wallace Shawn being based
Mawwiage is what bwings us togevah today.
The Fifth Element.
Super green.

Main-lining high grade depression. It’s my go-to threat when someone tells me they think anime is ‘too silly’ to watch.
Great film - I think the world would benefit from more people watching it. But it is so depressing, I don’t think it is a film everyone should watch.
Everyone should watch it once. Once is enough.
Top Secret, by the same guys who did Naked Gun. I think it’s somehow actually funnier on average than Naked Gun, even though that one’s great, too.
Basically, I don’t know if a human could watch it and not find it fucking amazingly funny. So dense with jokes, so creative with the execution, so many funny practical effects, you’re constantly astounded that they created props and sets for such absurd humor, and it really works.
The joke with the boots is magnificent. Need to watch that again, been a while.
That one is pretty good! The entire scene with the shootout where everyone keeps breaking windows is my favorite. There are so many good gags in that scene, it’s ridiculous.
Blazing saddles is up there with those movies too with just a bit more colourful language
If you like all of those, check out “The Wrong Guy”. Also if you like the amazing wonderful pure Dave Foley.

It’s our future if we don’t fix shit.
Bold of you to assume we’ll be able to cooperate long enough to transport all of humanity off planet
They probably didn’t. It’s a single ship, not that big, and they only used one language on it.
Weren’t there supposed to be multiple ships?
In an early draft where there were blob alien things instead of humans. By the time they replaced them with humans they had reduced the fleet to a single ship.

Brazil. Should be mandatory after 9/11.
I came to say Brazil but what does it have to do with 9/11?
Brazil predicted the post 9/11 environment 16 years before 9/11.
The Blues Brothers (1980).
I’m not the type that can watch the same movie or show over and over. This movie is one of the rare exceptions. I watch it at least 2-3 times a year.
It masterfully blends music, jokes, and action without a dull moment. It’s amazing how they can make you laugh your ass off with dry humor while Aretha Franklin is belting out a Respect. Not to mention having Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, and Cab Callaway all perform. And of course the car chases. Oh man, nothing can top those car chases.
The way they casually throw in a bazooka wielding character with zero introduction is just hilarious.
This one right here.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
This movie is the epitome of #mood for me. I love almost every scene as a standalone artwork. Must’ve watched it 20 times.
Did you like science of sleep? Similar vibes. Eternal sunshine is my favorite though.
I did a uni paper on it! I don’t like it as much, it’s a little too whimsical in comparison, but Gondry has a style that just settles my bones.
I loved this movie and if I was to read a summary I would think it’s boring as hell. But it’s not. It’s on my Made Me Cry list, has an amazing female main character and a solid romance that is not cliche, and I typically cringe at movies with too much romance. This one is good. I +1 your recommendation.
The baby scene was a little weird but otherwise great movie
Since my movie taste is a bit of everything here is my colourful list:
- Pans Labyrinth
- Princess Mononoke
- 12 Monkeys
- Her
- Parasite
- Persepolis
- The man from earth
12 Monkeys was unexpectedly good! Not many films can tell a story in that manner and pull it off.
+1 for the man from Earth! Best long winded movie ever!
The concept of Her is feeling more and more possible.
That’s why I rewatched it. This movie has a really good sense for the future. Actually AppStores are flooted with “your AI girlfriend” bs.
5th Element.
2001: A Space Odyssey
I’ve tried so hard to watch the film three times and always fell asleep. It’s my bad for not starting it from where I left off but the intro is so good even if it’s a bit slow-paced for me.
Spaceballs, so you will know what the future holds.
You gotta watch Spaceballs or there isn’t any context for the greatest movie of all time, Spaceballs II: The Search For More Money!
(for now you can watch it for free on YouTube)
