We haven't had a good fire movie in ages.Backdraft was a good one. There were some shots of my neighborhood in it, which was pretty awesome.

The Neverending Story- That horse scene always scarred me every time I watched it when I was a kid
Can't Hardly Wait- I recently got the bluray for this movie. One of my top 10 all time comedies
Edward Scissorhands- Great Burton flick

The wolf scared the eff out of me in Neverending Story when I was young.
I think I was 15 or 16 when I saw Can't Hardly Wait and I watched it over and over and over at home.

Yeah I was a teenager when I watched Can't Hardly Wait. I would watch it multiple times. I had a huge thing for Jennifer Love Hewitt
As for Neverending Story I need to rewatch it, it's been so long since I last saw it

Insomnia is a good thriller. Robin Williams did a fantastic job
The Mothman Prophecy is another great one. He's one of my favorite Cryptids.

Gonna go with things I haven't seen so far ITT.
Jacob's Ladder - Total mindfuck of a film. Just watch it first, then watch the YouTube plot breakdowns. Fight Club level of, "Oh shit," connections.
The King of New York - Christopher Walken plus a shit ton of popular young actors at the start of their careers. Basically the plot of GTA Vice City where Walken gets the band back together after a lengthy prison sentence, and sees a bunch of punks on his criminal empire lawn.

The school in the film also served as the primary inspiration for the school layout in Silent Hill 1 (the developers never stated it, but there’s way too many similarities, plus they‘ve referenced other western films in the games like Jacob’s Ladder and Session 9).

Pretty much all of them, but I'll just say,
Starship Troopers might be my favorite movie of all time, so let's start there.
Wimbledon you're talking about finding good movies out of thousands across an entire decade. What kind of movies do you like? Might help people narrow it down for ya
Have you seen the HD cut of Starship Troopers? The film held up surprisingly well due to its liberal use of practical effects. Its also one of my favorite films even if it completely butchers the source material.

I don't think I have, actually. I've got the DVD and a rip of said DVD. Should I look up a specific version to buy?
Right on about the practical effects. It's been a few years since I last watched it, but I thought the CG (from 1997!) was as convincing as any of the more recent Marvel movies. CGI characters look the least convincing when they interact with the real world imo, and the grunt bug design seemed like an intentional choice to minimize their contact with the ground. You don't get the unconvincing dust kicking up from their feet.

I think the 4k anniversary edition from 2018 is the right one. I think you hit the nail on the head. Starship troopers uses practical models for moments where the actors interact with the bugs. You never get the clean green screen effect that comes with modern films. The ships sequences are my favorite part. All of the battleships are actually scale models with the effects of combat added on top.
