biggio7 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 This is a different thread that I don't think I saw something similar to this. It's a thread for people who need to almost be talked into watching movies they have never seen before or something like that. No specific genre. I'm going to start off with Star Wars. I've seen some of almost every movie. But, I just can't seem to get into. I'm willing to give it chances especially with all the newer movies and then the Clone Wars movie or show? But, I'm curious about what order should I watch, things like that. Again, not a Star Wars thread but it's just where I'm starting this thread off.

TheEdenHouse Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 You should watch The Departed. Even though it's a re-make of (I think) Japanese original, which is way worse, you'll see here acting second to none. Serious drama, breakdowns, best narrative and a complex plot... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Departed was a very enjoyable movie with so many different moving parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Modern Star Wars movies have ruined the franchise. You don't need to watch unfortunately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch in order: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Force Awakens. Skip The Last Jedi altogether. Then if you're still digging it watch Rogue One and Solo. I can't comment on Clone Wars cartoon I've never watched it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 It will be hard to keep this thread on track and not turn into a second "what are you watching" or "best/favorite movie" type thread but lets see what happens. @biggio7, you should watch the ORIGINAL Star Wars for three simple reasons: 1. It boasts the most well rounded and intimidating villain in cinema history. Vader is the bar in which all cinema villains are measured. He is complex, has a complicated connection with the protagonist (so not only is he a physical threat, he also is a threat to turn the good guys bad), and you legitimately fear for anyone face to face with him on either side of the coin. 2. The practical VFX are not only revolutionary but also hold up GREAT even 40+ years later 3. While it does exist in a sci-fi setting, the plot and story transcends the genre My 'why should I watch' is Mr. Robot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the bridge between ep 2 and 3 and should be watched as such. Also, The Last Jedi is a good watch. Just don't overpay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind, episode 3 through 6 are the only ones that exist. Call it blissful ignorance, but the others range from mediocre at best to unwatchable garbage. If I want to expand the Star Wars universe further, I'll read the non canon books, which are a million times better than what is being put on the screen now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was excited for 7. It was a retread but capable enough to keep my excitement high for 8. Rogue One also helped. 8 destroyed my interest. Passed on Solo and won't be watching 9. Thankfully, it looks like I'll be dodging a bullet with the train wreck it looks to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggio7 Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 This is why I started the thread to get these ideas out there. I know that everyone feels differently about those movies but if I had an idea on order, which was great and helpful! I appreciate stuff like that. @MKnight82 @Deadpulse I've never seen Mr. Robot so I can't help you with that. I've only heard great things about season 1 but like everything other show, people think it falls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say it... Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie followed by Empire. But episodes 7 and 8, not so good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
