Mega64 Movie Club: Chariots of Fire
Added 2024-08-21 15:54:01 +0000 UTCRocco and Shawn watch the 1982 Best Picture Winner: Chariots of Fire. It has great music, acting and it's about the Olympics so surly Shawn loved it right?...right?
Comments
Seconding the people saying Redline, and also want to say that Millenium Actress would be a great Kon choice. It's a very sweet and sentimental movie without a lot of confusing or weird anime stuff, and for that reason I think it might strike a chord with Shawn more than say, something a little more out there like Paprika. Tokyo Godfathers should probably wait until Christmas

2024-09-06 16:59:36 +0000 UTCSounds great! Anime movies, I would recommend: - Mind Game - A Silent Voice - Angels Egg - Wolf Children (or watch Mirai no Mirai, same director) - Only yesterday (great non Miyazaki ghibli movie) - the Cowboy Bebop movie (works well as standalone movie) - interstellar5555 Also watch Furiko (Pendulum), it’s a 3 min short that is super touching and great. Also Tokyo Godfathers is great but maybe save it as it’s definitely a Christmas movie

2024-09-05 18:35:28 +0000 UTCI like the theme idea! Just a thought, if you're doing 4 in a month, perhaps you can do a poll on Patreon to pick one or two of them. Perhaps each of you pick a movie, Patreon picks one, and you can do a Crew pick from somebody in the office?

2024-09-01 22:48:22 +0000 UTCI recommend Redline if you guys do anime movie month. Very fun, high energy and over the top racing movie with some of the best animation I've seen. I think you guys would enjoy it.

2024-09-01 14:40:40 +0000 UTCI recommend Revolutionary Girl Utena for anime month, it’s one of the most out there crazy classic anime movies you can watch. Definitely a favorite of mine.

2024-08-29 17:22:08 +0000 UTCIf you're taking recommendations for anime month, I'd suggest "The Night is Short, Walk on Girl"; it's really accessible to someone who doesn't watch anime, but is still very visually distinct and well directed
Matt Burrell
2024-08-26 16:24:57 +0000 UTCI watched this movie not knowing anything about it other than the imagery around the theme song. I was so reassured when you guys brought up how insufferably boring it was, I thought the exact same thing. I think it'd be fun to see your reactions to Grave of the Fireflies, but I think that should come near the end of the month. Tokyo Godfathers is great, though I'd love to see you react to Redline. Also, if you're taking suggestions for future themed months - Weed month

2024-08-25 02:05:16 +0000 UTCIf you do an anime month I’d love to see a Mind Game vid. Masaaki Yuasa’s directorial debut. It’s super trippy, experimental and overall fun to watch. My favorite anime movie.

2024-08-24 23:17:00 +0000 UTCFor Satoshi Kon I’d go with Paprika or Tokyo Godfathers.

2024-08-24 20:09:42 +0000 UTCAny of the most famous Ghibli movies are a must. Spirited Away being an academy award winning movie is my top pick. Other than that My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Castle in the Sky or Princess Mononoke.
Maxx Clark
2024-08-24 20:09:01 +0000 UTCPlease watch Spirited Away! I think Shawn would really enjoy it.

2024-08-24 20:05:46 +0000 UTCWolf Children is a great anime movie!

2024-08-24 07:41:16 +0000 UTCI like when you review comedies because you have a lot of insight on careers of comedy actors and how comedy changes over time

2024-08-24 02:24:38 +0000 UTCAnime month sounds great. Four weeks in September, four Eva remakes.

2024-08-23 23:00:48 +0000 UTCi was going to suggest 2000’s comedy month but i honestly think we’d be down to just shawn on movie club
CptnHaircomb
2024-08-23 15:44:55 +0000 UTCI like the idea of a monthly theme! Best Picture winners you guys haven't seen, horror. Maybe like Record Club, where you pick out of the Roger Ebert book of movies you have to see. And I do like when it's a movie neither of you have seen, or revisiting one you saw a long time ago.
Dirt McGirt
2024-08-23 06:57:20 +0000 UTCThemed movie months sounds great. Would love to hear you all talk even more about End of Evangelion. Having more guests/ guest movie picks is also entertaining.
Puffy
2024-08-22 15:13:11 +0000 UTCTechnically not a movie, but "Memories" would be a great pick. It's three short films combined into one by Koji Morimoto (Animatrtix, Robot Carnival) and Satoshi Kon.

2024-08-22 06:24:57 +0000 UTCAnime month sounds awesome! Would highly recommend Sword of the Stranger, amazing animation and action with a neat story too.
Justin Mercer
2024-08-22 04:06:29 +0000 UTCFull support for anime month, gonna recommend The First Slam Dunk. I never cared about sports, never cared about sports anime, but went into this blind and the story and animation were unbelievable. Made me an instant fan.

2024-08-21 22:32:41 +0000 UTCnot into themed months but I do appreciate the recap of the nominations during the oscars. Just to follow along with that event.
SlavicGold
2024-08-21 20:42:00 +0000 UTCsome other ideas for theme months: Parents' favorite movies One director but movies from different decades Movies you've heard a lot about but never have seen Documentary month Movies with titles you hate Movies in genres you typically don't like but think you'd like Movies with actors doing something out of their usual genre
Nezumi
2024-08-21 20:30:19 +0000 UTCAnime month sounds great. You could do different genres each week could be drama, horror, sci fi, maybe historical or comedy or sports even

2024-08-21 19:44:34 +0000 UTCFor anime month, you have to do Akira
Zach Shephard
2024-08-21 19:08:04 +0000 UTCIf you do anime month. A Silent Voice and/or Your Name.

2024-08-21 17:48:22 +0000 UTCplease don’t do grave of the fireflies for movie club, good movie but simply too much of a downer for a fun conversation. I vote for Whisper of the Heart, I think its one of the best ghibli films that gets kinda short changed because its not as fantastical as the miyazaki/takata films but has probably the best emotional core of any of them
