What type of movie storyline do you want to see more of?

[The Last Conformist]

Boy meets girl. Boy bangs girl. Girl discovers boy is a terrorist. Boy blows up a major city. Boy and girl live happily ever after.

Boy meets girl. Boy bangs girl. Girl discovers boy is a terrorist. Boy blows up a major city. Boy and girl live happily ever after.

Wasn't that Fight Club?

 

[Rambuchan]

Boy meets girl. Boy bangs girl. Girl discovers boy is a terrorist. Boy blows up a major city. Boy and girl live happily ever after.

That's been done in a Tamil film called "The Terrorist". The difference being that I think they both got blown up in each others' arms and the city got spared.

@umm.....: at least it could be dark in a more original way than the typical mega-corporation-takes-over-way.

@TLC: sounds like Fight Club, although not in that order.

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

A British film without Hugh Grant!!!

 

[Yom]

The Usual Suspects

One of my favorite movies of all time. I didn't really think of Keyser Soze as a bad guy in the context of the film, although he certainly was a bad guy, I was rooting for Costner and his crew the whole time.

A British film without Hugh Grant!!!

To be more specific, a comedy without hugh grant. He is the worst steroetype for english people ever. We are not posh, i promise!

The problem with the bright and happy future is that there's no reason for it. If you're going to set your movie in the future, it's because you want your hero to face off against something in that future. If it's anything other than an evil government, technology, or uber-corporation, there's no reason not to set it in the present, which would cost less. I'm not arguing against the possibilities of a non-dark future, just trying to explain why it doesn't happen.

Futurama is just godlike, it should definitely be made into a futuristic film. In fact, futuristic comedies i think is a genre we should have more of in general, unfortunetly most of them are either done on a shoestring budget or the 1980's, which features bad acting on a shoestring budget.

As for fight club, yea, that movie rocks, because its so original, and clever, with great acting.

Finally, i think it would be safe to say we should ban all hollywood sequels, Since I cant hink of more than 5 really good sequels (apart from trilogies like star wars and LOTR)

 

[The Last Conformist]

Wasn't that Fight Club?

Kinda, but the question was, what sort of storyline do we want to see more of.

 

[Perfection]

Explosions in a particular location?

I think that just about anywhere would work.
Noting that though, I'd estimate some are better than other.

My choices for what would work are based on much meditation
You can see them listed below:

Palaces - Priceless art, and huge buildings = fun
Areas prone to avalance - fooooom!
North Dakota - They think thier something, but thier not
The far future - that's with all the cool stuff and Giant Death robots
Space - That's the final frontier, of awesome! And you can blow up worlds

 

[Cu Chulainn]

I want Morgan Freeman as something other than the wise old man.
Denzel as something other than a victim.
Bruce Willis as someone who isn't deeply troubled
and Will Ferrell as a normal human being

I want to see more of the Nathan Fillions of the world and less of the Tom Cruises

I want actors to be hired based on how good their performances are and not how much their movies made

 

[Ramius75]

More hardcore sci fi show like 2001, maybe the red mars trilogy will be cool.

and less (Based on a true story shows) depicting USAians as heros and british as the bad guys.

 

[Knowze Gungk]

Storylines are unimportant, as long as the film does not go for more than 1 minute wihout violence, comedy or sex...or funny brutal sex.

Add really cool special effects, and there will be no need for even the slightest hint of a storyline.

Storylines are for books.

 

[ferenginar]

Films that are not significantly altered from the book, films that don't get relocated to the USA.

More sci-fi and fantasy, preferably by Peter Jackson.

 

[CIVPhilzilla]

I want some new action stars to live up to Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Bruce Willis. Vin Diesel and The Rock do not cut it.

 

[De Lorimier]

More political satire, but dones right.
Most of the time, political satire are badly done, full of clichés and one sided. We need more movies like Dr.Strangelove or The great dictator.

 

[Jerry Kraut]

I'd like to see something like this:
deeply troubled anti-hero, living in a dystopian society, fighting against all odds... but still losing.
no purely evil villians, no brightly shining heros, no stupid site-kick clichés...
everything has to be more complex, darker, more sinister...
character development!
and everything should be dressed up nicely in an original way of filming... like 'memento'

 

[Bartleby]

More angst-filled contemporary Westerns (e.g. Huston's The Misfits, Sturges' Bad Day at Black Rock), please
