What's great from that discussion between CK and Dolphlover is the great movie names I discovered.

I don't remember who asked what were our favorite movies last year and i couldn't come up with anything. But i just remembered one that deserves to be mentioned and probably my top favorite which was Under The Skin.
Again it's not a movie for everybody and you might hate it if you can't handle slow paced build up Kubrick style. I thought it was brilliant in every way.
I see Jonathan Glazer as one of the younger directors with huge potential and can't wait for more of his work. Ps. for those who remember, he directed Karma Police by Radiohead back in 97'. That was such a cool video in a time when music videos mattered.

I mean it's no masterpiece, but imaginative, and with its complexity in some ways unique.

Just got it recommened to me two days ago, but kinda got put off by the negative reviews. But I guess it's a little bit "love it or hate it", so I'm defenitely gonna try it later.

Fair enough. I can see how it could turn into a torture for some people. But you gotta understand from a Sci-fi point of view it was great because it was like a return to the world of ideas instead of just visual impact.
Here's a tip you probably won't follow; nobody understands it the first time. That's what mindfuck movies are for, to keep you wondering and guessing.

His wife killed herself years before he went to do his mission. What you see at the end is the recreation of earth by those being(s) he meet at the station. Why it had flaws (raining inside the house). I suggest you research around, there are many different interpretations about it and then watch it again. It's more rewarding that way

I haven't watched it. That's probably a mistake.
Did you watch the original or the American remake of Solaris?
Yes, you should watch Aliens (the second one). Though bear in mind that's it's not a horror film like the first one, but an action film. It's good, but nowhere as memorable as the first one imo. But I know a few who prefer the second one. Avoid the third and forth one like the plague. I know Fincher directed the third, but it's so bad.
The first Alien movie was by far the best. The atmosphere, vibe and acting are unparalleled. The sequel has many mindless action moments and the usual American 80's macho BS acting you'd see in every action movie then.
It's still good but bear in mind, it's a different approach. All in all, it's paramount you watch it if you want to understand the Alien world a little more.

Monsters was decent. I think it's worth watching when you have time to kill.

Which oens?
I picked Solaris and Alien first.

Gotcha'.
I'm gonna watch Aliens and leave the others for when I'm reaaaally bored.

Yes, I did. But apparently, you should watch the original first.
