What Movies Have You Seen Recently?

Submarine

The plot wasn't anything special, but still interesting enough, and the cinematography and soundtrack were stellar. It reminded me of a Wes Anderson film.
 
it's soooooo good. sean connery is great every moment he's on screen, and the tension is present throughout the whole movie

it's got action, but it's mostly an intellectual kind of action. like a high-stakes game of poker or something
 
speaking of high-stakes poker games and slightly related to sean connery, i also need to watch casino royale

so i guess you enjoy intellectual films mainly?
 
I enjoy just action too, but it's not really on the same level of enjoyment.

For example, I can enjoy The Avengers, which isn't very intellectual. Yet it's a fun action movie that has an excellent sense of humor. No reason to be against it.

However, I can also watch The Matrix, which has both excellent action and intellectual thought-provoking questions. I would easily rank that above The Avengers for many of the same reasons I prefer Captain America: The Winter Soldier over it (The Matrix is still my third favorite movie, if you count Lord of the Rings as one movie).

I also enjoy adventure movies like Gladiator, but those can also be improved by intellectual stuff too. Russell Crowe starred in a slightly less well known movie called Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World that I thought was much better and more intellectual.
 
It sounds like you'd enjoy movies like Children of Men, and Minority Report (though maybe you've already seen the latter since it's Spielberg).
