SHERDOG MOVIE CLUB: Let's pick the Week 119 movie!

[europe1]

NOTE to NON-MEMBERS: Interested in joining the SHERDOG MOVIE CLUB? Shoot me a PM for more info!

Here's a quick list of all movies watched by the SMC. Or if you prefer, here's a more detailed examination.

​

More week-based shenanigans! Coolthulu kidnapped sickc0d3r wife, child, dog, and even his DVD-collection! The only way for sickc to get them back was to trade weeks with that damnable squid. No doubt he will be killed like an 80's villain for this. What could possibly justify such a drastic risk? An ERIC ROBERTS APPRECIATION WEEK!

Director: Bob Fosse

Stars: Mariel Hemingway, Eric Roberts, Cliff Robertson

Premise: A successful young model finds trouble when her obsessive manager-turned-husband becomes dangerously jealous. Based on the true story of 1980 Playmate of the Year Dorothy Stratten.




The Pope of Greenwich Village

Coolthulu's Top Theme for this Week is "Top 5 Mark Wahlberg performances/freak outs"
​

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Loving all the older movie choices lately

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

No Runaway Train?

 

[Bullitt68]

An Eric Roberts week? Is this real?

Eric Roberts is so awesome that it's impossible to make a "wrong" choice here, but there's definitely one movie that I want to talk about more than the rest, so at the same time, the vote was easy.

Eric Roberts is so awesome that it's impossible to make a "wrong" choice here,

That's good, because I'm always anxious that I chose incorrectly.

 

[Yotsuya]

I have not seen any of those. Great week!

Wahlberg’s greatest:
Boogie Nights
Shooter
Happening
Pain & Gain
Perfect Storm

 

[LHWBelt]

2 sound decent, 2 sound horrible. Let's see what we get.

 

[Bullitt68]

Forgot about the Top Theme again. I really need to start getting in the habit of reading the whole OP and not just freaking out about the new week of movies to pick from

Top Five Mark Wahlberg performances:

1) The Departed

2) Pain & Gain

3) Broken City

4) Boogie Nights

5) The Other Guys

Honorable mention:

Spoiler

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Forgot about the Top Theme again.

That's me every week. Hence why last week I highlighted it in green.

• Boogie Nights
• Shooter
• The Departed

 

[europe1]

Feels weird making a Top 5 Wahlberg performances for some reason

1) The Departed
2) Boogie Nights
3) Pain and Gain
4) Umm... Shooter/Deepwater?
5) Marky Mark
...
...
...
538) Max Payne

Wahlberg’s greatest:
Happening

 

[ArtemV]

I haven't heard of any of these lol, I go with Best of the Best. It must contain some sort of funny fights in it

 

[Coolthulu]

He was secretly a comedic genius in The Happening



He made me believe in fitness in Pain & Gain




He's a goddamn peacock and you gotta let him fly. Without hesitation. Without a doubt. There is no other way.


Profanely marvelous stuff



He was born to be a star in Boogie Nights

They'll remain unharmed. My word is my bond.

 

[Yotsuya]

Yep, you nailed it.

 

[MusterX]

I nominated Star 80 before. It could be a future challenger for most rejected film in SMC history which is currently held by Predestination (2014), 3 times a loser.

Good movie, but not one I'd wanna subject myself to again. One thing that movie taught me though was that having a Mercedes is a big deal.

When you pimp this hard, a Mercedes is compulsory.

 

[Coolthulu]

When you pimp this hard, a Mercedes is compulsory.

Simply awe inspiring.

 

[sickc0d3r]

Yeah, @Coolthulu beguiled me with his awesome theme of the week, plus absurd compliments like "you seem reasonable", and then, come to find out, his pick I traded for is 4,537th. I was taken!

Jokes on him, though, because I was planning to choose the EXACT SAME MOVIES. It's like I am getting two turns this round. HAH!
