Must watch films

Not on any of the lists, but tonight I watched The Imitation Game
For those of you who don’t know, it’s the one where Benerdick Cambridgebach plays Alan Turing - his usual “I’m a huge dickbag” role. But this time with character development!
Overall it was enjoyable - it did a good job with balancing the technical aspects with the appealing to a wide audience aspects (With the exception of “You-lers theorem,” Everyone knows it’s pronounced “Oiler”). I won’t say it ranks in my favorite movies, but it’s definitely worth watching if you’re into computers, WWII, or just Benedirk himself.
EDIT: I guess this movie would fall under Biography? Historical? Drama?
EDIT 2: Memories of Murder would be Police Drama (Korean)
Old Boy would be Action (Korean) -
Update the original post, let me know if the categories seem a bit off.

I watched Nightcrawler yesterday. It was not as good as I expected it to be but I would say it is worth a watch. Lou Bloom is pretty psycho.

I watched American Sniper last night.
I quite enjoyed it.
I have read a lot of articles and reddit comment about this being a huge piece of propaganda. I think any war film can be propaganda but then I think the people who say this read way to much into the film.If you don’t read into the film and just take it as a film, even ignoring the fact that it is based on a real person, the film is good. It gets really intense in some places and I think it shows war can change a person and their families.
If you do not know anything about Chris Kyle I suggest you don’t read about him until you have seen the film as it may change your perspective on the film. I’m guessing most Americans have heard of him but for people who are from other countries probably won’t have.Worth a watching.
