Recently, I've come to the conclusion that I have a peculiar taste for movies. The high budget thrillers that come out of hollywood are certainly enjoyable, but i tend to prefer other films that my friends never seem to have interest in. I don't try to be trendy or indy with my movie preferences, it's just I prefer for my movies to display more "real" aspects of life. With that being said, here's a list of movies I like that no one has ever heard of. Except Ryan my roommate. He knows about these movies.
1) Dazed and Confused.
This is a nineties movie that take place during the first day of summer in 1976. The movie shows the interaction of high school seniors and freshman and is basically all about everyone trying to have a good time at the party. This is my favorite movie depicting high schoolers because it shows the perfect summer mentality, that nothing matters except having a good time.
2) The Spectacular Now
High school senior has friends but doesn't have direction or an idea of what to do after high school. Something I feel we can all relate to.
3) Burn After Reading
The Coen brothers directed this movie. Its not as large or epic as movies such as True Grit or No country for old men, but it still is super quality. Its almost as if the Coen brothers just wanted to do something fun in between projects. This movie is silly, ridiculous and just awesome. Brad Pitt is the man.
4) Whiplash
JK Simmons won best supporting actor for this movie and he deserved it. This movie is an fantastic display of a super intense mentor guiding a pupil to greatness.
5) I'm tired it's sunday and I just want to watch football and be done with my assignment. I'm throwing this one out,
I think that this was a good blog post.
