What is the best /tg/ movie?and why is it Blade Runner?
>>45375587
blade runner was awesome, now if only it had anything to do with the book it would be easily in my top 5. Och and thats not how you spell Stalker
>>45375962
Blade Runner NOT having anything to do with the book was one of the best moves it could possibly have made.
>>45375966
Is the book not good?
It's been on my to-do list for a couple months
>>45375587
I'll just leave this here.
Hawk the slayer
>>45375987
Its alright but I agree with this anon 100%>>45375966
If you say anything else, you don't really know /tg/.

>>45375587
It's the best 40k movie
>>45375987
imho opinion it was one of the best books dick wrote. It's not really all that in his style, but as far as cyberpunk and overall SF gouse, it's a must read.
>>45376005
I liked the part were they removed kebab
>>45375987
Okay, I'll put it this way:
Are you okay with the pot-boiler sci-fi stories cranked out in the 60's?
If yes, you'll be entertained.
If not, it's a waste of time.
>>45376006
No, the best 40k movie is still Event Horizon.
>>45376005

>Bullshit PC plans that work

>>45375587
Do you have smaller pictures? They are way too big for my display.
>>45376019
more like warhammer 2k then
>>45376005
Absolutely this. The main message of the film is even about loving whimsy and telling reality to eat a dick.
>>45376018
>DADoES
>typical 60s sci-fi story
pick one mate
>>45376006
>>45376019
The thing is none of these 2 are actually 40k movies and the ones that made them probably never heard of GW.
![e37[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/VGRBGG4.png "e37[1].png")
>>45376064Still better than any actual 40k movie
>>45376080
Yeah I agree...
>>45375587
Lord of the Rings
anyone who claims otherwise is a dipshit
>>45376064
Found the GW apologist
>>45375587
"THAT'S THE SPIRIT!"
actually, streets on fire.
because it feels like a party is forming, because it feels like a one shot adventure, because it is fucking cheesy as a 17 year old gm would do.
>>45375987
The book is alright. It's got some good moments but it's not really anything special. It's also pretty different from the movie. Especially the ending.
I'll go on record to say the movie is way better.
>>45376019
>>45376006
literally Imperial Guard: The Movie
>>45375987
Don't read it if it's your first Dick book, there are much better entry level ones. Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch blew my fucking mind when I was in high school, Scaner Darkly and The Man from High Castle are great(Scaner Darkly has a nice movie based on it). From what I remember DADoES has shitload of references and "Dickology", which you wouldn't get if you aren't already familiar with the author.
It's worth it though. His books aren't consistently good but they always are a wild rides.
>>45375991
That movie was so very, very /tg/
Does anyone have caps from the if the Pirates of the Caribbean was an RPG thread?
>not Damnatus: Enemy Within
>not Hobo with a Shotgun
>not Repoman
I love Bladerunner but I think there are better options.
>>45379974
Repoman is one of my favorite movies. It was extremely seminal in me becoming a punk.
Is it /tg/ at all?not even a little
>>45375991
This movie gets me so fucking mad.
Oh hey the Apaches are shooting at the dragon.
They aren't doing very well, maybe they should aim for the GIANT GAPING MOUTH I MEAN COME ON
But ok, that doesnt happen, so what happens when the dragons fight?THE GOOD DRAGON SPITS FUCKING FIRE INTO THE OTHER DRAGONS MOUTH AND KILLS IT GEE WIZ WHOULDA THUNK
>>45375587
Mad Max (any really, maybe skip 3)
Labyrinth
13th Warrior
13 Assassins
7 Samurai
The greatest and most perfect movie that has ever graced mankind.
I guess Hellboy is fairly /tg/ at times.
Also Riddick.
>>45380060
Could have been fixed so easily.
Just make the good guys Blood Claws and the bad guys Word Eaters.
Boom, done.
>>45380060
Why did they put Mr.Clean in that movie?
>>45380060
Is it bad that I own the special edition blu-ray in the steel-book with the comic and special features DVD?
Favorite quality: while the film is a blu-ray, the special features are on a standard DVD.
>>45380161
None purer.
>>45379475
I'm with this guy. The third one was also awesome just for the theme song. Is the second worth watching?
>>45380203
The 2nd movie has its heart in the right place, but the execution is pretty lackluster. I like it for what it was trying to be.
>>45380203
Nah, someone went ahead and lost the special effect budget, so everything looks like shit.
>>45379927
>>45375587
Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail
>>45380293
Not gonna spam the thread with all of them, there are lie 20 in total, but I feel this one definitely one of the better ones.
>>45379475
Agreed
>>45380058
The first half of Mad Max 3 is still quite good. Haven't seen 13 Assassins but all the rest are pretty /tg/
>47 replies
>no willow
shame on yall. Although I can't expect much from questfags and redditors
Is there a suggested movie list?
I'd suggest Labyrinth, Never Ending Story, Heavy Metal, and Lion in Winter.
>>45380859
>Is there a suggested movie list?
It would just be a list of good/cult genre films. There's not a lot of criteria into saying what movies are essentially /tg/ because most genre settings coincide with /tg/ settings and that's all that really matters. Every western or noir or scifi can be a /tg/ movie because we play those settings and scenarios.
>>45380904
As a human being I have a mighty need to categorize things. A fun list constructed by peers would please me.
Dark Heresy: The Movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNuL8cVxXMA
>>45380938
not bad list: https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Approved_movies
>>45380462
I just saw this a few days ago. Really interesting from a worldbuilding perspective.
>>45376006
>>45376019
They both deal with completely distinct aspects of the Imperium (adeptus arbites vs. warp travel/gellar fields) so comparing them doesn't really make sense. But yeah, together they are both the best 40k movies, and a nod to >>45379475 as well.
>>45380420
It's pretty japanase, especially the pacing. If you can deal with that, you'll enjoy it.
>>45380060
Even the helmets look sad and disappointed.
>>45375930
Yeah, it's like not even a contest.

>>45381255
Have this kinda /tg/ Oshii movie
>>45376606
I still adore the movie, cheese and all. It's so fun. And the music kicks so much ass.
The thing with the car changing hands feels like it could have been a running gag at the table. And the final sledgehammer duel feels like a good example of how to do a one on one fight where the rest of the party characters are still present and invested in the action. The NPCs even show up to watch.
Walter Hill movies are good movies to watch with friends. Even the one with Charles Bronson as an underground bare knuckle fighter. His stuff always has an undercurrent of camaraderie that brings to mind TRPG sessions.
>>45379622
Eye in the Sky isn't his meatiest work, but it's always been my favorite just because the plot's gimmick is so unique and awesome and its easy for beginners to get into.
I've always thought that taken together as mirror images of one another his best works are Ubik and Maze of Death. They reflect the gradual darkening of PKD's views on hypostasic states and are very interesting in that regard.
>Implying this movie isn't /tg/ as fuck
>>45383371
Isn't that the one Michael Crichton wrote, and it's basically Jurassic Park but with robot cowboys?
>>45376013
you will love the new Dracula movie
>>45383469
Yeah, but it's pre-Jurassic park. I see it as Michael Chriton toying with the idea. The inclusion of Dinos years later perfected his idea by nailing the "playing with god" theme.
>>45380462
No one has suggested Dark Crystal either. Could it be because boys in the setting have-2 wings?
Also, no Star Wars? Is it because it would be too obvious?
Original Star Trek always felt very tabletop to me. Three player characters and assorted NPCs and red shirt hirelings meet up each week to explore a new planet. The DM keeps resorting to energy alien gods as antagonists because the party min-maxed diplomacy (Kirk) and intelligence checks (Spock). Bones was the heal bitch. And best character.
The players would complain every once in awhile for a new setting. Someone wants to run a modern game. Someone wants to a Roman Gladiator game. Someone wants ship to ship combat. Someone wants space station intrigue with tribbles. So the DM compromises to fit all these things into the overarching campaign.
One time the DM's girlfriend breaks up with him and we get Spock's Brain.
It even has strange moments that could only come out of a tabletop game such ashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miD1drD5M3w
>>45383489
I always love how people think Crichton hated science when really he just hated people because he thought they were too stupid to use science responsibly.
>>45383371
AND YOU
AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU
I don't think I'm getting a tabletop vibe. But its my go-to to explain how a PC or a party should fight against a seemingly invincible, persistent "nemesis" like foe. Even before the Terminator. The last third of the movie is basically a running battle.
>Implying Lupin the Third and the castle of Cagilostro isn't the most over the top film, filled player character-esque antics.
>>45379991
THIS
This is so TG
>finding new players as they go adventuring, players from different classes
>go on different adventures to reach their goals
>>45375987
The book is far better, but it would make a very different movie.
>>45376005
I'd argue Time Bandits would also have been acceptable.
>>45376019
Event Horizon is so shitty, I just sat there waiting for the build-up to finish and for shit to get real, and then the movie ended. Like that shit would phase me after I'd seen The Thing.
>>45385830
Excellent taste
>>45379475
More like IG recruitment movie.
>>45375987
Nope it's great. A lot of the concepts that were in the book but not in the movie are very interesting, though often go over people's heads so they shit on it.
No Fifth Element?
UNBELIEVABLE
Star Trek IV? Possibly the most /tg/ film ever.
>>45383514
Dark Crystal is good, but 1977 wizards is most /tg/. That ending...
>>45383743
Good movie. That PTRS, mmm.
>>45386637
>wizards

have some Cobalt 60, the inspiration for Necron 99.
No mention of Excalibur?

Not the best /tg/ movie, but definitely the most /tg/ movie.
>>45380084
Hellboy is the fucking bomb. 2's elves were some of the coolest elves I've ever seen on the big screen
>>45388833
Agreed. I actually loved the Dark Elves of Thor 2, as well...unfortunately the movie was lackluster at best and Malekith himself was boring.
But I loved the designs on the Dark Elves.
>>45387077
No lies, I'm seriously considering introducing a General Odious into my campaign. None of my players have fleshed out their backgrounds so I'm super tempted to make them all connected to one guy and just let things go as they will
>spoiler
Pls no ;_;
>>45380203
the worst part about the movie, was being able to call every scene before it happened. And jesus christ, the sky marshal singing still makes me visually cringe.
>>45380166
I don't think this movie was on Blu-Ray. I don't think they had that kind of budget.
I own the special edition steelbook with the comic and everything, but I'm pretty sure both discs are DVDs.
>>45376005
Well no shit, this one has an RPG
>>45380203
I'd be satisfied with calling it an Imperial Guard movie instead of Starship Troopers.
You are correct, OP.
Everyone obviously knows that Shadowrun is heavily inspired by Blade Runner.
It's pretty clear that Cyberpunk 2020 and its other variations are also inspired by Blade Runner.
But behold Android.
This board game was originally conceived as Blade Runner: The Game, but there was no way the devs or the publisher could possibly secure the rights necessary for that.
This is a storytelling game to rival Tales of the Arabian Nights. It is unquestionably my favorite game in my collection.
Android's setting is the same setting Android: Netrunner is set in. It also hosts Android: Infiltration (which is unfortunately basically an Incan Gold ripoff) and the upcoming game Android: Mainframe.
I have little doubt that Fantasy Flight will eventually create an Android RPG, given that they're about to publish a 272-page Android setting book.
Blade Runner was already a /tg/ movie, but it will only become more so as the years pass.
>>45391524
Forgot my fucking pic
Guardians of the Galaxy was /tg/ as fuck. I'm not even ashamed to call it my favorite movie.
Are we past trying to find the best /tg/ movie and just posting some /tg/-related movies now?

>>45380397
Wasn't there an image gallery of these? I missed my chance to save them.
>>45380462
How about you go suck Gygax's rotting cock, old man?
The Blade movies are every V:TM game that people played and won't own up to.
>>45380017
It is absolutely a /tg/ movie. It's about a fairly ordinary dude leaving behind the 'normal' world, and entering into the absolute madness of alien conspiracies, double crosses and gang conflict, and chases for weird fucking macguffins. It is one of the most /tg/ movies I've ever seen, and it's fucking brilliant.
>>45376019
EH is kinda meh.
>>45388903
Goddamn it, I bought a copy of Heart Of Darkness a couple of months after going on a binge of Farcry 2 & 3 and Apocalypse Now, and I've still not gotten around to reading past the first 10 pages.
>>45375587
Dunno if blade runner is the best, surely my favorite though. What I do know is that GitS is the best animation to ever come out of japan, /tg/ or not.

The book is amazing, as basically all Dick, but the film being its own thing is also amazing.
