We all know the Matrix and the Fast and the Furious's have tons of slow motion as do most actions movies in general, although I feel the more slow motion used the worse the action is over all. What are some non-action movies that have a great slow motion sequence?
Zack Snyder is definitely out of the running on this one.

For me it's Only God Forgives. I personally wouldn't put it in the "bad" category, more "underwhelming", but man is that a gorgeous looking movie. The framing, the lighting...it's one of the best looking movies of the last 15 years, possibly of the 21st century. But it's a disappointing follow-up to Drive, which is a masterpiece. I guess a runner up for me is Batman Forever. Say what you want about the script, the bat nipples, the bat ass... that is a damn good looking movie.
What are your picks?

I can't really think of any other ones. I don't count lincoln because it's not really focused on the battle aspect. I think the civil war could develop the same gravitas as WW2 in film making. I'm surprised there's not more movies about it .

I watched Godzilla Minus One yesterday and really enjoyed it.
It got me thinking about the nature of horror movie series. There's a long-standing discussion in the horror community about how once a horror movie series goes on long enough, if there's a single recurring villain, they always ultimately wind up getting all of the rough edges sanded off of them. This happens for a couple of reasons. The first is that the movie-going public who are fans of the films are coming back to these sequels because of a fondness and affinity for that villain; they're the thing that the movies are built around. Since the studio knows this, they tend to play to that affection by making it feel more acceptable to like these characters; softening them and making them more likeable. Ultimately you get these depictions where their actual on-screen presence is completely at odds with the idea of them.
Godzilla is probably the biggest victim of this; by the 1970s there were literally Saturday morning cartoons with him as the protagonist. Which makes this movie all the more interesting in terms of how it goes right back to the roots of the character.
It's often been said that Godzilla is sort of symbolically representative of the atomic bomb, and this movie really nails that. There is no personality to him here; nothing approachable, nothing which you might like or admire or empathize with. He is just this embodiment of the horror of totally impersonal, indiscriminate violence and death. The fear of being completely helpless in the face of something that only exists in order to enact violence on a massive scale and wants nothing else than to kill and destroy everything it comes into contact with. I don't think I've ever seen a depiction of him where this felt more true, and I was really impressed by the boldness of the film-makers here, given how much has been invested in the public image of Godzilla as a sort of quasi-heroic figure in the decades since then.

It blows my mind Mary Tyler Moore didn't win the Academy Award because her performance is fascinating and complex and one which a lot can be discussed because Beth Jarrett is a complicated character.
Most see her as a monster, who favored her dead son and was mean to her depressed son who survived and can't get any love from her.
Mary Tyler Moore saw it differently, she saw Beth as a victim of her own upbringing. I identified a lot with Beth. I understood her.
Beth Jarrett is a woman who was educated to refrain her emotions, to be proper, to keep a picture perfect family and to be rational and Beth was faced with a situation which she didn't know how to handle so she tries to avoid it.
Beth doesn't hate Conrad (Timothy Hutton), she resents him because he's a constant reminder of the pain. She wants to move on and he's unable to do so and as a result, he acts out.
Beth does try, you see she's conflicted, and she starts a conversation with Conrad in the garden, yet when Conrad acts out, she goes back to her way of being, and it gets worse because Conrad becomes more rebellious and she just gives up. By the end, she can't be close to her son, even when Conrad hugs her and she's cold, because she just doesn't have any love to offer.
I hate the end, though, because it's hopeless. The father leaves his wife to save his son but it forgets the wife does need help to heal from her trauma. Maybe she was too far gone to be saved.
I just love how one can find so many layers within Mary Tyler Moore's performance.

Some examples that jump instantly to mind for me are in "The Three Amigos," when El Guapo and Jefe discuss the definition of "plethora."
Also in "The Life of Brian," when they're trying to write graffiti in Latin on the wall to the effect of "Romans go home," and a Roman guard corrects the grammar like a disappointed high school Latin teacher.
And who could forget Walter's assertion to The Dude in "The Big Lebowski," that Asian American is the preferred nomenclature and that the Chinaman is not the issue?
Anyway, I'm not sure why but it always strikes me funny when characters debate grammar in a movie.
What are your favorite examples of this trope?

It can be any genres but i prefer thrillers or horrors (English movies only).Personally,im tired of seeing man being the villain or the bad guy and female being the victim/protagonist.I want to see the reverse of it to keep things fresh.If it's with female villain vs female protagonist is fine too.
