What are some of the biggest “missed opportunities” in film?

I think the Peter Jackson Halo movie would have hit at the perfect time in regards to both the franchises relevance and our love for the series. Halo lore is outstanding and I believe it could have been on the same level as transformers, mission impossible etc.

Nobody expected the project to win Oscars but there’s no reason why we couldn’t have had an amazing Halo film trilogy.

At least we got district 9 out of it the fiasco.

What other opportunities we sadly never saw realized?

Have you ever watched The Chumscrubber (2005)?

I saw this movie with a friend, when it was first released on DVD and I thought it was a pretty good. Reminded me very heavily of SLC Punk, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Beach, Little Miss Sunshine, and a bit of Wes Anderson mixed in. Plot follows a group of high school students who get mixed up pharmaceutical drugs and how their idealistic neighborhood is anything but. Sort of a bad summary, but it has been ages since I’ve seen it.

The film cast includes Glenn Close, William Fichtner, Jamie Bell, Rita Wilson, & Ralph Fiennes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chumscrubber

However, I’ve never met another person who has seen this movie. Ever. It has got to the point where THE PERSON I WATCHED THE MOVIE WITH, NO LONGER REMEMBERS WATCHING IT.

The Chumscrubber premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2005, and was released theatrically on August 26, 2005. An accompanying soundtrack, composed mostly by James Horner, was released on October 18, 2005. The film was both a critical and commercial disappointment as it received mixed-to-negative reviews and earning back only US$351,401 of its $10 million budget.” (Wikipedia)

What is the most disturbing depiction of death/murder you’ve ever seen in a film?

for me it was Saving Private Ryan. Mellish getting killed while Upham is paralyzed with fear.

Doctor Sheehan made the greatest sacrifice!

PROVE ME IF I'M WRONG.

In my opinion, Mark Ruffalo's character makes the greatest of sacrifices in psychiatry history just so that he can spare another man's pain.

Wolfgang Petersen’s movie “Das Boot”, is widely regarded as a masterpiece of war cinema, offering an intensely claustrophobic and authentic look at a German U-boat crew during WWII. It’s an incredibly bleak and profoundly sad movie. If you haven’t seen it, look for it. It’s definitely worth a watch…

Tropic Thunder is one of the best satires ever made, with a top-notch ensemble cast delivering some of their best performances. A true cult classic.

Watched Eraserhead for the first time.

So I bought a ticket on the Lynch train. I’ve decided to watch his films in chronological order.

I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it. But I couldn’t stop watching it. My favorite scene is the dinner scene. The random acts between the parents. The man made chicken was awesome.

But, onto The Elephant Man…
