janonymous, in Suggestions for movies and TVseries that (attempt to) criticise the super rich?

There are already a lot of good suggestions here!

I would add Eat the rich and The menu (not related) for movies criticizing the rich. Although the former just makes fun of them.

I would also argue for Andor even though it doesn’t focus on the super rich and instead on the rebellion and the people making up the cogs of the fascist imperium. It still shows the rich in a critical light. I haven’t seen any series that made me want to fight the system more than Andor.

In Time

Kit, in Suggestions for movies and TVseries that (attempt to) criticise the super rich?

Schitt’s Creek comes to mind.

Walop, in Suggestions for movies and TVseries that (attempt to) criticise the super rich?

Anything cyberpunk usually fits that bill. Like Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix sounds and is ridiculous in many ways, but also has some insights on the rich taking over the media and prison system.

Arrested Development

formergijoe, in Paul Thomas Anderson and Warner Bros Set Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Regina Hall In Film To Shoot This Year

“Production studio to have director direct actors in film”

swiffswaffplop, in Gary Oldman Says ‘Thank God’ for ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Dark Knight’ Movies Because ‘They Saved Me’

“ I could do the least amount of work for the most amount of money and then be home with the kids.” Gary Oldman and I share the same philosophy about work.

SgtAStrawberry,

If those movies are what he call least amount of work, I love to see one where he went all in. Cause he was awesome in this ones.

figjam,

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy?

RizzRustbolt,

I don’t care what anyone says, He won the Oscar for that.

niktemadur, (edited )

Actually, he won it for playing Churchill in The Darkest Hour.
Although I do believe Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy should have won all kinds of awards. And that includes Oldman for doing the nearly impossible as George Smiley: reprising a truly iconic Alec Guinness role and actually making it his own.

EDIT: well it took me a minute to catch your real meaning.

Tiptoes, a movie about small (dwarfism) love where they cast Gary Oldman in the role of a lifetime.

RedAggroBest,

Was it Daniel Tosh who made me aware of this cursed thing?

Duranie,

I found and purchased a copy of it on DVD from Goodwill many years ago. Totally worth the $1.99 lol.

Well, least amount of work for him. He always brings his A-game from what I’ve seen, but a nice payday for a fraction of the number of days worked is nice!

RememberTheApollo,

Fifth Element?

SgtAStrawberry,

I have heard some things about it will definitely check it out.

TheRaven,

Hannibal? The makeup alone took 6 hours each day.

SgtAStrawberry,

Didn’t know he was in it, it will put it higher on the list.

derekabutton, (edited )

The thing about these ones is that he is a side character for multiple movies. Both series had large casts and he was a key component to small sections of each. Large pay for little work is ideal. It’s not that he didn’t go all in. Just went all in for less time.

SgtAStrawberry,

Definitely agree, but then I want to see a movie where he went all in for a bigger part of it. I have gotten some good suggestions, that I will ad to the list.

WarmSoda, (edited )

I’ve never thought about about it but I don’t think Gordon is in the first movie all that much. They’re just little scenes here and there, really.

He’s at his desk with a stapler. He’s at the docks for ten seconds. He takes out the trash once. The batmobile scene. And the end when he plays with the batmobiles rockets. Aren’t those the major scenes with him? I’m curious now.

Either way he even says he worked for less than a month on it. That’s pretty cool.

Leon is such a good movie. One of the first of the Oldman unhinged performances I can remember.

inspired,

Bring me everyone.

That and Bram Stokers Dracula were my introductions to him and some of my favorite characters to this day. He just completely owns the roles and defines the characters in ways nobody else can. He can be completely over the top and at the same time be completely believable. Gary Oldman is a great fuckin actor and any movie he's in automatically gets chance from me.

It wasn’t TipToes?

Beetschnapps,

I mean he TOTALLY looks like Mathew McConaughey’s twin brother despite being ten years older…

Really it must have been the guys from COPS that messed it all up.

He’s so good in Slow Horses at the moment.

CmdrShepard,

It’s unbelievable to see him in Slow Horses and then see him in this article photo. He’s so good at disguising himself.

IchNichtenLichten,

The make up to show him as a heavy drinker is excellent.

schnapsman, in George Clooney Says a ‘Great Script’ for New ‘Ocean’s’ Movie Exists, but He Won’t Call It ‘Ocean’s 14’: ‘We May End Up Doing Another One’

That one episode of Rick and Morty ruined all heist movies for me forever.

Delphia,

You son of a bitch, me too.

yoast,

IDK I saw Logan Lucky for the first time last year and it kinda blew me away. I think heist movies can still be great with the right script

Chaser,

From the same director as Ocean’s 11. I believe in the movie they joke that it’s Ocean’s 7/11

mycatiskai,

There was that interesting heist miniseries that could be watched in random order and still make sense. It was an interesting concept.

I believe it was called Kaleidoscope, all the episodes were a color. White first, Black last but any other episode order still worked.

Daniel Craig is so great in that movie. I’m here for the Daniel Craig funny accent universe.

sin_free_for_00_days, in Paul Thomas Anderson and Warner Bros Set Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Regina Hall In Film To Shoot This Year

So much potential. Hope that they all pull it off.

GlitzyArmrest, in "The Mandalorian & Grogu", a new Star Wars film directed by Jon Favreau, will enter the production phase later this year.

All of the new Star Wars movies are so boring and played out. They should just stop making them, but they won’t because they have to extract every single dollar from their IP.

Squizzy, in "The Mandalorian & Grogu", a new Star Wars film directed by Jon Favreau, will enter the production phase later this year.

Grogu is boring and played out, he should have been delivered to Jedi and that was it or been a single season character. Not that he is a character or anything at this stage.

God State Wars is so boring now, can’t wait to see what this movie sets up.

Really not interested to be honest. Which is a shame as I used to be a much bigger Star Wars fan.

The last film announcement that really excited me was the Rogue Squadron movie but sadly I think that’s effectively been cancelled.

ClarkDoom, in "The Mandalorian & Grogu", a new Star Wars film directed by Jon Favreau, will enter the production phase later this year.

Sounds like a sad attempt on Disney’s part because they couldn’t come up with a fresh new movie and instead are cannibalizing characters that should be focused on the tv side of the company.
