What other pre-2000 movies would you guys recommend I check out?
Antonius Block said:If you're only interested in the films he has directed pre-2000, I'm not quite certain as to which these are just now... But if you're also interested in the pre-2000 films he has starred in that are the bomb, then you should definitely check out the following:
Dirty Harry
"The Man With No Name" Sergio Leone Trilogy (Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly)
Kelly's Heroes
Outlaw Josey Wales (I think he may have directed this one.)
All of these are great. Outlaw Josey Wales kind of even reminds me of an Anime to a certain degree because you have this mythical gun fighter that has a bounty on his head and he has to go up against all kinds of crazy foes whilst traveling between a post civil-war South... Southern Bumpkins, Union Soldiers, Bounty Hunters etc. The characters are unique and the scenarios are wild. 5 Star masterpiece here.
Dar Klink said:Recently rewatched the first Batman movie from Tim Burton. I hadn't seen it since early childhood and couldn't remember 90% of it. I think the best part of it was the overall art design, the music, and the Joker. It had a kinda unfocused story that didn't flow together very well but had some great scenes and iconic moments. I remember liking Batman Returns a lot more as a kid, so I'm going to watch that soon as well. For some reason I watched Batman Forever a ton as a kid despite thinking it was pretty shitty... so I think I'll skip that and Batman and Robin rewatches.

Johnstantine said:If you want really awesome, fantastic, unequivocal Batman viewing experience, then I highly suggest watching Batman the Animated Series, followed by Superman, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and the Justice League Unlimited. That's, in my opinion, the best Batman writing ever.
IncantatioN said:Pal recommended this Eastwood movie to me. I'm not very familiar with his older movies but I've watched the movies he's directed post 2000. Unforgiven is DAMN GOOD! Eastwood's frakkin handsome and awesome in this one. Ok now that I got that outta my chest ... it's one of those movies where when you think about it, the story's simple. But the script and cinematography make up for everything and the acting of course. Good cast, no wasted dialog, characters feel real and the last 10/15 mins is when it all comes full circle, like the. Highly recommended.$1000 reward and the bar owner buying it off Greely for a $1000
Hanma_Baki said:All three easily within my top ten of all time. They´re just too damn iconic. And gawd that OST by Morricone is like the yummie icing on the cake! I cant believe you havent seen 'em, Incan, you´re like the godfather of movie nerds
I guess a big part of why I love them so much is cause I watched them when I was very young, and Eastwood's pretty much been the mother of all badasses ever since. Sincerely hope you´ll enjoy them even though you kinda missed out on the nostalgia factor. (Oh and try to forget about Yojimbo if you´ve already seen it, also effin' awesome btw)
Seems like I´ve got some watching to do here. I´ve only seen Batman TAS. Mostly did it out of desperate nostalgia only a few years ago, and what I love about it most is how dark it is, I cant imagine I´d like Superman the same way. But I guess I´ll give it a try if the Dark Knight himself does some cameos. Thanks for the recco...
Hanma_Baki said:Thanks. I´ll definitely be checking it out. I was just about to begin watching JL, lucky I talked to you first. Now, to get my hands on some Superman and Batman Beyond.

JoeZeon said:With ya all the way on this one, I liked how it ran so counter to all of his older western movies with its grittiness and take on violence. I'm interested to see how this new Japanese remake with Ken Watanabe goes.
Johnstantine said:Batman Beyond should be on Netflix. Superman is on Amazon instant.
That's sweet of you to say, thanks. There are a bunch of guys on here who are waay cooler and don't necessarily post about em like John, Nighty & more. Definitely seen Yojimbo and all of Kurosawa's movies. Growing up I didn't have access to a lot of older classics, my viewing experience was limited to whatever was aired on TV. I started to play catch up when I got into college and started to pay for cable-internet for quicker download speeds. When I finished college, I started to buy the ones that mattered to me. I haven't watched movies by a lot of classic directors.
IncantatioN said:That's an interesting point. I'll have to see if his more famous westerns make him out to be a superhero or someone real.
Oburi said:I loved Wolf of Wall Street. Might be my favorite film from 2013.
Rhombaad said:I watched Gravity over the weekend. I thought it was one of the most overrated movies I've seen. The special effects were great, but there were a lot of moments that were physically impossible. You'd think in a movie that was called GRAVITY, the filmmakers would've had some notion what that entails.
Johnstantine said:You saw it after the hype. It was amazing when I saw it, so I'm not sure why you think it's overrated.
