Post your dad's favourite film

Casablanca

Mrs. Doubtfire

Well, I DO have two brothers, but maybe a lot of men born in the 60s just have mommy issues.

Who doesn't?

Same

Wings of Desire is a great film that I can recommend to everyone. (I don't even speak German.)

I think he identified more with Harold being an attention deprived rich kid than anything...
His other favorites are probably somewhere along these lines:
>Amelie
>clockwork orange
>Brazil

Also Hellboy, Caligula and Sleepy Hollow.

Road Warrior.

Probably Die Hard or The Mechanic.

They have these things called subtitles that allow you to watch films made in languages that you don't understand.

You should try watching it next time using them, then you can actually understand it as well as enjoying it and recommending it to anyone.

Of course. I always watch films with subtitles and find dubs unwatchable but some nuances can be lost in subtitles, no?

>some nuances can be lost in subtitles
wrong

>Demolition Man

I am not sure if my dad has good taste or a massive pleb.

You get the gist but some nuance is lost. The subtitles for Roma remove a lot of the sincerity and subtlety.

wrong again

My Cousin Vinny or Army of Darkness

Um I just saw Roma with my wife and the subtitles do exactly what I said. A lot of phrases Spanish phrases are replaced for brevity.

Excalibur so far as I know.

I realize this is just obvious bait at this point but let me use one of the most clear examples. How would you go about translating the scene in Your Name where one character doesn't know whether to say watashi or watakushi, without using translator's notes? Just look at this, the subtitles have to be adjusted pretty heavily: youtube.com/watch?v=Ho-QkuM2W60

it just doesn't work like that user

Blade Runner

In the category comedy it's Blues Brothers

Just off the top of my head when the woman ask if she’s gonna be fired the woman replies “no seas tonto” which means don’t be dumb. But the subtitle says no. One hints at the dynamic of their relationship and the other is a generic response.

what are you babbling about

A scene in Roma where the subtitles change the viewing experience and content of the film.

that's just not how they work user

Okay good job at baiting me

OP here, this would have been an honourable mention. Along with Apocalypto, Return of the King, Duel and Highlander.

sounds like a joke but I'm telling the truth

How can a dad die without telling you what his favourite things are?

Wouldn’t that make you around 50+?

well I guess I could ask but he won't answer

sometimes dads just dad themselves out and then they go up to the big speedboat dealership in the sky

sorry
*how?

Don't know or care but probably Fiddler on the Roof

he died when I was pretty young, I never really got exposed to his actual taste. he liked star wars I guess.
something about psoriasis and hepatitis c weakening his immune system so they couldn't treat him for the pneumonia that killed him.

The Blues Brothers

Wait, that's real? I thought that band was made up for that Simpsons episode.

Its a real movie (And funny, though younger people will miss a ton of references), and it was a mock documentry then the band became a real band since the movie was such a hit and people wanted to book them.

based as fuck

Jaws and Pirates of the Caribbean 1

I was trying to make a joke about Spinal Tap not being a "real" band. Sorry.

The real life stories/inspo behind it are even better than they are in the movie. For instance, the scene where Derek smalls gets stuck in the chrysalid stage prop during rock and roll creation was inspired by Paul McCartney getting stuck in wings for several albums

>hep c
was he a male prostitute?
drug addict?

That and the toto drummer really did die of a gardening accident.

It's either this or devil's advocate.
He quotes them non stop you can't get past him without copping a HOO-AH

Christ I forgot about that one

My dad introduced me to Harold and Maude and now it's my favourite film. I think his might be The Shawshank Redemption

I doubt he was ever a prostitute and he definitely wasn't a drug addict. I know he was rowdier in his younger days so he might have done heroin before or something, idk.

If he had to nail down one, it would probably be Easy Rider.

Nah, he's in his 80s, still lives in a house with my mum in Australia. I turned 40 this year, but can still pass for 30ish. He remembers shrapnel from a bomb in the blitz come through the house & just miss his old man's head in Huddersfield.
No surprise he took up amateur flying and loves spitfires. Spitfires are dadcore as fuck.

Kept seeing references to it in pop culture, so I rented it expecting a dance movie. Got a surprisingly heavy drama instead.

It's pretty weird when I consider my old man was born in the time of Al Capone.

Also, he never does dance to Stayin' Alive

Not sure but he's seen Apocalytpo a billion times

I bet you have Down syndrome

Yeah it was based on a magazine article by a fantastic author called Nick Cohen who based it on the experiences of a young man's night out on the town.

It was all bullshit though, he made it up, he was that good of a writer, amazing at capturing zeitgest.

He was the same guy who wrote the legendary book Rock Dreams, and then the epic sequel 20th century dreams, pic related with artist Peelaeart.

Dadcore as fuck.

Hey, it's pretty comfy. Based on Assault on Precinct 13 being inspired by this, you're expecting something fast-paced and heavy, but it's more relaxed and a slow burn with gradually escalating action.

Never really watched movies with my own dad, although he did introduce me to MST3K and weirdly enough, Pokemon. It was my mom who introduced me to Star Wars, Billy Wilder, the Marx Brothers, and Cary Grant (wound up making me see George Clooney as a discount version of him).

Cary Grant was a discount Rock Hudson anyways

This one

Attached: Cat_Ballou_Poster.jpg (253x393, 28K)

This is my dad's favourite TV show, I think. He also loved to watch Spongebob with us back in the day, but despised Dragonball Z ("They just stand in the air with minimal animation and yell insults at one another.") and Fairly Odd Parents (He says he hates the animation of them hovering.)

Attached: catweazle.jpg (321x445, 37K)

Me and him talk about movies a lot, and The Searchers and The African Queen are the two he has praised the most.

He was in Nam ?

He works in a tri-service environment, he's army. Since his last viewing he's instructed his department to tug their forelock instead of giving a proper salute and the office - or rather the men in the office - make references to it constantly. His (navy) boss caught it non-saluting happening, thoroughly approved it.

The only good one

Surely it's going to be a shitty CGIfest? They struggled to get airframes back then. It's not as if there aren't other stories from WWII that haven't been told.
Went to an RAF Battle of Britain dinner. Traditionally they had pilots who fought, but as they're thin on the ground they invited a historian to be the guest speaker. His main points were that the Battle of Britain probably didn't exist, and if it did it was won by dutch or danish AA (can't remember which) which decimated the luftwaffe when they invaded, or the Royal Navy. The RAF officers there were seething, Army and Navy loved it.

Attached: file.png (1009x1539, 1.77M)

Imagine if the franchise was called Ricky instead

I don't know really, it will be like boomer catnip I guess, with Ridley on board, but there is not much to read about it, just a placeholder on imdb with Ridley's name attached.

25 years ago it would have been really exciting news, but I don't think Ridley has made an A+ film since Kingdom of Heaven.

The polish were the ones who helped win it, they were excellent pilots who went to England to fly and fought hard against the Krauts. I'm not sure about Dutch or Danes, never heard of that.

Old guy in my sunday football league is obsessed with Rocky. Sometimes comes to training in a Rocky jacket, is full of tattoos and one of them is Rocky doing the pose on the top of the stairs. He once actually brought a Rocky collector's figure to training (???) and said the winner could take it home. There are no winners at training, we are just training. And no one actually got it in the end. I think he just bought it at a store before and coincidentally still had it with him.
He also sometimes keeps talking about how his life kinda was like Rocky's. Genuinely nice guy though.

That's hilarious

do you have any more stories about rockyfriend?

>I'm not sure about Dutch or Danes, never heard of that.
It was during the defence of their own country, whichever it was. The argument was their AA batteries were so good that the luftwaffe went into BoB with no chance of winning it because their best was already gone.

do you have the big gay?
libs tell me it's a gene

I have no idea, probably some John Wayne western. Or Magnificent Seven.

Your dad has good taste and you should take notes.

I thought dutch people were powered by D cells? When did they switch to AA?

My dad used to love some movie about a bald tough guy plaid shirt wearing MC who watched out for some kid and his mom in a ghetto environment, all I remember is that the MC got shanked by some druggie (might be the kid's dad) and I can't for the life of me find that movie.

You talking about The Wanderers italiancore?

I don't think it was Italian, it might have been a shitty tv-movie out TV-stations liked to import from the USA, I wish I had more info to go by.

Not really any stories, but I can talk some more about him. He is around 45, which is pretty old for our team where everyone else is from 20 to 30ish, but he can still keep up and likes to call attention to that - which is actually somewhat impressive, but it's nothing unheard of. Once while we were walking onto the pitch before a match, he suddenly and without any prompt started talking to me about how he was calculating that in his career of more than 20 years he had scored about 700 goals, and how there was one season where he had scored 40 and basically single-handedly secured his team to win the league. I kinda laughed it off, and told him how my dad would tell me similar stories.
Also, I think all of his tattoos are of American pop-culture (like a Route 66 sign, or Marylin Monroe), even though we are in Germany. His only non-American tattoo I can recall is that of the goat mascot of his favourite football club, FC Köln.
Also, he always wants to play even if he is injured. At one point his entire leg was blue with bruises, but he said he would just put a can of ice spray on and it would be fine. Once he had an operation where a vein was pulled from his forehead, and he showed up on the training pitch the next day and promised he would be careful. My coach didn't let him, because he still had a medical plaster on his head.
During matches on Sunday, his wife always comes to watch. She's a small and really shy lady, not particularly pretty, but she seems to genuinely enjoy watching football and always seems very cheery. But I don't think I ever heard her talk other than saying "Hello".
And Yea Forums-related, he collects horror film DVDs.

Also, I should have put this in the post about his Rocky obsession: at one point he said, to a part of our team, that he, and I quote, "sometimes feels a bit like he is the reincarnation of Rocky". No one knew how serious he was, so we just kinda laughed at it, while some guy pointed out that "Rocky is still alive."

Watched this two nights ago

he probably shits his pants on the reg

In the late 90s my dad got a copy of 1942 Conquest of Paradise on VHS. I went downstairs for some water one night and he was watching it alone while laying on the sofa in the dark, he didn't sleep upstairs anymore but so didn't really think about why. I lay behind his legs and watched the movie with him in silence. I liked it, especially when the native guy says "you never bothered to learn *my* language" to Columbus. It was my introduction to historical sailing related mancore cinema.

He's dead now. I don't know if he even liked the film, I fell asleep to the credits music and we never spoke about it. He was gone when I woke up. The film is regarded as being shit but I'm unable to see it objectively, it's one of my favourites despite historical inaccuracies everyone goes on about.

I haven't watched the film, but just because a film is historically inaccurate doesn't mean it is a bad film. Anyway, it's a sweet story, user.

>>That Denzel Washington Train movie

user, liking LotR does not make one a pleb. I hope you are aware of that. If you don't like slowpaced description-heavy pseudo-mythology, well, that's on you then. It's your opinion, and it's totally fine to have it. But I don't see what you are gaining from flaunting that.

Just curious, what books do you like?

>noooooo he doesn't like muh epic fantasy
>I will strawman him!
That I would cateogrize as at the same level of LotR? Le Carre, Forsyth, Bernard Cornwell, MacDonald-Fraser Sven Hassell would be my go to pulp fiction. A lot of LotR fans reread them fairly often, I guess my equivalent for that would be the Peace and War series.
If I wanted something more meaty Amis, Satre something along those lines.

you literally said you wanted other descriptions immediately after calling LOTR tedious
