Ending scene for "American Beauty" 1999
"...It's hard to stay mad when there is so much beauty in the world... I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life..."
@UncleIroh @sardonicsmile although I’m kinda young and didn’t live through the 90s, I can agree that the 80s and 90s had really good sci-fi and action movies. I loved Resevoir Dogs, Jurassic Park, Fight Club and Saving Private Ryan (though I might be more biased towards Saving Private Ryan because I love WWII stuff), but also you’re forgetting Good Fellas and Casino and Heat I believe.
@UncleIroh @sardonicsmile but the 2000s and the 2010s had some gems, I like the Irishmen and the new planet of the apes trilogy, and the Many Saints of Newark (The Sopranos prequel) was pretty good.
Sure, I'm not saying that quality dropped off a cliff as soon as we hit the 2000's. There's plenty of good shit in the 2000's, it's just that pound for pound the 90's left us with more gems.
@I_AmTheKnight @UncleIroh Agreed "Heat" was another iconic movie. Til this day many refer to the shoot out scene as a remarkable display of cinematography and operation of AR15/carbine platform. I can tell you, they had spend a lot of time with Military instructors for this scene. This was Hollywood, for sure, but textbook technique/tactics for engagement. You have an eye for quality if these are the movies that you are drawn to.
@sardonicsmile @UncleIroh yeah I would agree that Heat had one of the best shootouts scenes of any movie, I can’t think of a better movie with as good cinematography.
@I_AmTheKnight @sardonicsmile
Didn't forget, just ran out of space. Those films are also awesome. The list could go on for ages.
