violent movies.....

[anarchist]

do you like movies with lots of gore and violence..i mean movies with realistic portryal of violence...say some of the gangster movies ...like reservoir dogs.....but I have seen a lot of guys who are just put off by blood...but any day I would choose a hard hitting thriller/gangster movie over a fantasy...has the thinking preference got to do anything with this?..what do ya say?...

[jittus rye]

I think they're interesting. Murders are interesting more than mob violence. Scary movies are kind of dumb. Violence is good overall if it has a good storyline.

[jimkopelli]

Agreed. Plot is nice, too.

Gladiator is one of my favorite movies of all time... both because it has cool fighting and because I played the music in band on year. Tarantino stuff is usually pretty good... but some movies go over the top and are kinda dumb after a while, like NBK or Clockwork Orange.

[SensEye]

Yes. Especially if it is a mindless action movie. Lots of death and dismemberment can make up for a weak plot as long as that's what I'm in the mood for. Stylish violence is cool too (like the Blade movies, or that ludicrous Underworld - awful plot but I liked the atmosphere).

[Groty]

The uncut version of True Romance was incredible. Then you also have the likes of Killing Zoe, Pulp Fiction, and Muppets Take Manhattan. Not overly violent, but the violence fit into the plot well.

I don't really like gory movies that involve horrendously disfigured ghosts/killers/victims... my imagination really plays tricks on me afterwards. But.. I won't get beat up if I thought Kill Bill was great, even funny, will I?

Kill Bill was great. I love the scene in the first where she butchers all those blokes.

I'm with Sackanaka, but the Sixth Sense was a favorite of mine. As for gangster movies, I am not truly into them. I actually enjoyed the uncut version of Once Upon A Time In America with James Wood and Robert DeNiro.

:D I was laughing at that part. Haha, that reminds me of the Yoda fight scene too; I think I was the only one in the theater cracking up.

Indeed, it was a good movie. It might just be because it appeals to the N and P side; looking beyond what you see and realize the true nature of things. But in other movies of the horror/action genre, the ugly and disfigured guys are usually no deeper than that: ugly and disfigured, probably implying evil or a half-assed attempt at showing that the bad-guy had it hard too :'(.

The Yoda fight scene was so damn funny. One one hand, you have a Dark Lord of the Sith, and on the other hand, you have a alien with a walking stick. Reminds me of the First Rule of the Discworld: Don't fight little old men. (from thief of time)

[SheepDog]

Graphic violence isn't unappealing to me, if it's part of the story. I don't like violence for violence's sake, however. To use Reservoir Dogs as an example, there are some gruesome parts, but it had more than that, including some interesting dialog and group dynamics. Of course, it was kind of novel at the time, FWIW.

[Edmond Zedo]

I don't care, unless it's added or taken out for its own sake.

[Warrior413]

I like movies where the graphic realism is important, like in Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers... and I just hate movies that glorify war by not showing the human cost. Propaganda I say. And yeah I kind of liked Reservoir Dogs. Heh, and that scene in Kill Bill was pretty damn funny... :devil:

[hemanthraz]

Love em usually, not always.
Kill bill 1 with the hand spurting blood was a damn funny thing.

[Division56]

*enter the sicko*

I kind of got off on the Mr Blonde torture scene...

I wasn't a huge res dogs fan. Don't know if I'm a huge gangster fan in general BUT Goodfellas is a flick could watch over and over and over again. Braveheart as well had a lot of violence, realistic, but it's another film that if I ever flipping channels and pass it, I'll stay on.

From what I remember I enjoyed Hellraiser and it I believe had plenty of violence. Scream did and I loved it. I think the movie has to be solid first for me. It's rare for a movie to be so-so but good violence push it for me. Occasionally a Friday the 13th movie where you see a new way to off someboy but even still...I think if a movie is too violent I probably wouldn't have liked it if had been cleaned up.

You guys should check Takashi Miike's flicks. Audition, Ichi the Killer, and Dead or Alive especially. Really violent, but not as mindless as it might first appear.
